Things began to get super spooky as the playable character on screen began to suffer horrific deaths that shouldn’t have been possible. Things got even worse as the player attempted a well-known “fourth day” glitch, which caused him to have encounters with in-game characters he shouldn’t normally have had. After firing up a new game, things began to get weird with strange glitches, unusual sound bites, and much more. Having purchased what he assumed to be a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, the gamer discovered the cart still had save data from a previous owner, “Ben,” downloaded onto it. The story here is relatively, simple in which an unsuspecting gamer finds himself in possession of a haunted N64 cartridge. This is an old one, but still incredibly good and revered as one of the most pivotal gaming Creepypastas to ever come around. The player couldn’t stop the massacre and ultimately found his computer filled with images of the burned up, demonic clown. One by one, the entire town were disappeared, each take-down hammered home by weird image glitches and sudden music. When the mysterious countdown ended, the player found his game invaded by a vengeful Sunny the Clown, who mercilessly stalked his virtual Sims. Pictures of Sonny popping up on the Sims’ TV, in ads throughout the city, places they shouldn’t be. Suddenly, the game wouldn’t work right, and the player found himself haunted by mysterious in-game messages (a countdown) and strange occurrences that couldn’t be explained. When nothing worked, he set about creating a house-fire, cutting off the exits and help eventually resulting in killing off Sonny from the game… In this spooky tale, one player got so tired of Sonny he managed to get most of the town members to slap him around/insult him in order to try and force his departure. Even worse, he’s a pain that’s almost impossible to get rid of once he shows up. His intent is to cheer up your resident Sims, though he often has the exact opposite effect. The NPC serves as a visitor who can come to your home. Sunny the clown to be specific who originally appears in the first game and has more recently returned for The Sims 4. Yes, as if things couldn’t be creepy enough, this has to center on a clown. This urban legend sprouted up from The Sims: Livin’ Large expansion, and puts the focus more on a clown. Be sure to read the full Creepypasta (where it originated) for the whole story. There’s a lot going on in the story, and it’s a fun twist with plenty of spooks. Haunted by those voices, the detective himself is driven mad by the very investigation he became obsessed with solving. Eventually, he begins to hear the voices of the children who died because of the game, who implore him to “come follow me.” As he uncovers a deeper plot and dangerous secrets about the game’s mysterious influence, more and more bodies begin to pile up. This urban legend follows one of the detectives in charge of investigating the Pokemon related suicides. Over the last few years, however, a new twist on the story has popped up, adding a new wrinkle to the legend and growing into it’s own story: Come Follow Me. It’s a creepy enough story, but it’s been around for a long time. ![]() ![]() The legend here is the the original music players encounter in Lavender town (a spooky area all its own), ended up driving kids who played it mad some even going so far as to kill themselves. One of the longest running Urban Legends about gaming around, deals with the original Pokemon titles and the “Lavender Town Syndrome.” The story is fairly straight forward and was initially passed from schoolyard to schoolyard before becoming a prominent story online. Today, as we look ahead to Halloween, I’ll be sticking to some of the spookiest ones I’ve found which have stuck with me for a long time… Some are as simple as trying to find secret game content (from a free-roaming Bigfoot to the fabled “nude codes” of old), while others have a decidedly more sinister feel to them. Some began as whispers on the school ground (not unlike those secret codes from your friend who’s uncle “totally” works at Nintendo), while others have grown from various places on the web. To help get in the Halloween spirit, I thought it’d be fun to take a look at some of the creepiest urban legends that have permeated the gaming world.Īs with just about anything that’s formed a larger part of our culture, the history of video games have seen its fair share of strange, and downright creepy, urban legends pop up.
