Haunted glen

Without the use of literary hyperbole, the haunted glen is a place where nightmares come true and abject fears manifest. The glen in its entirety, with no discernable point of origin, is a fount of ectoplasmic and parametric energy. The atmosphere itself reacts actively to the resonant energies of sentient entities, resulting in internally manifested and externally projected mass delusions of paranoia with schizophrenic tendencies.

These perversions of reality can be subtle but terrifying. Shadows move of their own volition and take awkward shapes, but only when they aren't in direct line of sight. Sounds come into being without cause. Owls hoot and red dots float in the darkness of their own volition; the trees rustle and move when there is no wind; voices call from the darkness. Those that are particularly sensitive to the spiritual will find themselves afflicted with more personal manifestations. Seeing the ghost of a loved one tortured for all eternity is not an uncommon delusion.

In certain spots of the surprisingly expansive glen, the membrane between our realm and what some theological systems refer to as 'the spirit realm' is thin. In this area necromancy finds a particular boon, as do ghosts and those of pneumatological origin. This overlap also increases the frequency of such anomalous events as the possession of trees and animals, mutations in native flora and fauna, and forced synesthesia.

In all one is left balancing the perpetual sense of being hunted with the sober realization that as much as it could be artificial paranoia, it could be legitimate concern.
