Mysterious Happenings

Occasionally, bizarre happenstances will occur inside Castle Ravenloft.
 * Sometimes, people hear screams coming from within the castle that sound exactly like on of their own comrades.
 * Sometimes, it will become so dark, that even torches cannot shine within the castle.
 * Sometimes, every spoken word is echoed in a harsh, evil whisper.
 * Sometimes, there are darting shadows that appear behind people that have no apparent caster.
 * Sometimes, an urgent whisper will repeat someone in the castle’s name repeatedly.
 * Sometimes, only one person of a group inside the castle will hear the soft giggling of a small girl.
 * Sometimes, the holy symbols people carry will drip blood with no apparent source.
 * Sometimes, people “remember” being murdered within the area that they are in.
 * Sometimes, when people try to leave an area of the castle, they find themselves right back at the entrance to the area they just left.
 * Sometimes, when people enter an area in the castle, it begins to fill with a slowly thickening fog that eventually shows phantasmal shapes and ethereal images.

It is thought by the denizens of Castle Ravenloft, as well as the Men of the Black Hood that these happenings occur to the the castle’s proximity to Hell.
