Sea Ghosts
Added 2021-05-14 14:33:25 +0000 UTCThere's something incredibly unsettling about being alone at sea. A ship drifting in the fog, miles from any land is such a primo horror setting, and I think that's why there are so many pirate-themed ghost stories in fiction. There's no where to go, unless you feel like the terrors of the deep are more less dangerous than whatever is on your ship.
If you want to run a maritime adventure with a heavy degree of terror, you'll need some spooky ambience to set the scene. "Eyes in the Fog (Sparse)" is great for evoking the horror of being "alone" (maybe?) at sea. The strings imply a sort of foreboding presence perhaps just beyond the gunwales. Of course, there's nothing explicitly seafaring about this track, so it would feel equally at home in haunted catacombs, spooky graveyards, or basically any of Ravenloft's Domains of Dread.
As always, looping versions of both tracks are provided below. Thanks y'all!
