    For those wandering why the Dunwhich Building/Borers wasn't mentioned, it's because I felt it deserved it's own dedicated video and while it may seem paranormal, I feel it is more on the subject of "ancient god" but that's just me 👍

      To be fair, the most ancient religion is animism, so it implies that ancient god is ghost, but I understand how cool it is and the wealth of information on just the things that Dunwich Borers is based on.

      While I love Fallout mostly on its sci-fi roots, I can't help but enjoy the paranormal and Lovecraftian themes as well. As a believer in ghosts and the occult predating Christianity, I feel in the games it makes sense that the stuff we don't want to think being true is slowly seeping back from the obscurity imposed by society.

      If you do that, please include the "Interloper" as mentioned in FO76. I can't be completely certain, but I think that there might be a connection between it and the strange circumstances at Dunwich.

    It would be interesting to see radioactive paranormal storms as Billions of souls are denied eternal rest, and condemned to a limbo in earth, without even being the spirit of a human, but something much more dangerous and inexplicable.
    Yeah, I know that might not fully fit into the Fallout vibe, and even if it did, many would complain saying that it's "ridiculous".

      Love replying to old comments. So I just picked up 76 a few weeks ago and just found that church yesterday, not sure if it's normal but the music kept playing for me inside the church while I was killing the ghouls and I even played the organ while the music was still playing. I have like zero faction affiliations since I just started the game and haven't done any dlc missions yet. Maybe it was just bugged for me but it was pretty cool to experience. The mire terrifies me.

    I was waiting for a mention of Fallout 4's Dunwich Borer's ghosts. Despite the location being an easter egg/throwback to Fallout 3's other Lovecraft reference, they were still startling.
    Like, take me, for example. Fallout 4 was the first game in the series I'd played--I assumed it was just an action-adventure and became uber addicted to the game, to the point where I was staying up well into the morning most days playing it.
    Enter me, having just spent the last half hour not only clearing the quarry topside, but also playing guerilla warfare against that one mfing guy in power armor, and I can finally, FINALLY get that sweet mfing loot. Then I find a crack between two quarry boulders and a loading screen and suddenly, 'What's this?', MORE enemies to kill and loot to horde. Alright. Not to bad. It's like midnight. I'm the only one up. I start reading the terminals. Totally normal pre-war company negligence. Feel bad for the workers. Yada yada.
    I get to the 'boss room'. And more guerilla warfare of sprinting back up those metal stairs to get distance between me and my targets. Eventually kill them both. Alright. Nice. I see that beautiful chained door that I believe must have all the ACTUAL loot from this giant place.
    I loot the two corpses and COMPLETELY MISS THE TERMINAL ON THE REACTOR (which would have given me some warning to what was to come)
    I open the door, and it's not a treasure room, not a room of riches. It's a freaky fecking mine tunnel descending into darkness. I'm thrown off by this and find that first light switch. The first round of ghouls freak me out, but I kill them easily enough, but I don't really understand what's happening yet, so I move on.
    I find the next switch and think I'm good cuz ghouls don't immediately spawn. I take a few tentative steps forward and the screen flashes and suddenly I'm looking into the faces of a group of pre-war dudes on their lunch break for a second before it's back to the creepy darkness and the ghouls are crawling out of their hidey-holes and I say 'Feck this' and I run
    Not back, not retreating towards the light. But FORWARD
    My tired, scared brain believed that Dunwich Borer's worked like so many of Skyrim's locations and that, despite how big the cave or the dungeon was, there was ALWAYS an exit at the end of it. So I sprinted through the dark, panic jumping over things I couldn't see, completely forgetting that I have a Pipboy light in the panic to get away from the (always freaky) ghoul horde that was slowly growing in size behind me.
    I notice there's a smaller tunnel entrance further back, at the end of the large, open room, and I just run down it. Straight into another, mind-fecking flashback that is just so alien to me it's like I accidentally set foot in Outlast or Amnesia or something instead of what I THOUGHT was only an adventure game.
    Then I tumbled into the pit of water that would eventually lead to the best blade in the game. In the dark. Trapped by ghouls. And it was then that I decided to go back a save.
    I fear going back to Dunwich Borer's every time I replay. That felt like those moments in childhood cartoons where that freaky sh!t happens. Like the 'Return the Slab' from Courage the Cowardly Dog or something. It was weirdly out of place even beside all the rest of the creepy stuff in the game.

      Yeah, I expected that to be one of the top ones here, at least in fallout 3 you definitely do see ghosts, even if it's just flashes of them. Still scary as hell when you don't know about it and your going through a building filled with ferals for some loot, just a normal thing in the capitol wasteland, only for that to happen and hearing weird noises and suddenly finding a Lovecraft like demonic piller in it's basement, just out of nowhere, right when you thought the world outside was scary enough, that shows up.

    The Granchester Mansion is clearly a homage to the Winchester Mansion in San Jose, California. For the uninitiated, the Winchester Mansion was home to the Winchester family, the same Winchester that created firearms. Sarah Winchester, wife and widow of William Winchester, was incredibly superstitious and thought that her soul could be captured if anyone took a photograph of her. She also believed that the spirits of people killed by Winchester rifles haunted her constantly. As a result, she had the mansion built with staircases that led to nowhere, windows inside the house that had no purpose, as well as other odd designs implemented. This was to confuse the spirits that she believed haunted her.

    There's also a location in 76, a series of vacation cabins specifically where disembodied screams can be heard. There's even a pre war terminal entry mentioning how hard it was to get people to stay there with all the screaming. If I recall correctly there’s even poltergeist activity in the cabins.

    • @FunnyStarRunner

      That place scared me when I first got there until I started to piece together that the screams were coming from loudspeakers. It turned out that the screams, doors opening and closing themselves, spinning paintings, and tremors were being controlled by a terminal in a nearby treehouse. You can turn them off but also create more noise to attract enemies.
