#RPGaDay 28th - Scariest Game You've Played

Another cheat answer.

Back in the day, when I was running Call of Cthulhu at cons, one of our group's younger siblings was an audio nerd. So he read some latin (possibly from that copy of the necronomicon you used to be able to find in bookstores) and added all sorts of effects to it, so it sounded really creepy.

THEN, we took the cassette tape (ask your parents about those if you don't know what they are), put it on constant loop play and put the boom box in the corner of the room, facing the wall, with the volume just low enough that it was hard to hear.

We kind of freaked out a couple of people when they realized they were hearing spooky stuff that they couldn't easily see the source too.

I think that was the same year that we used as CPR dummy as a quasi prop for a dead body.
