A collection of oneshots designed for the modern ghost hunting TTRPG What Haunts Us but each could be run for any system. Each investigation involves a misdirection or a straight up hoax from someone involved. Spanning from the more fun romp into something much more tragic, with twists at their core, the Hoax & Misdirection boxset is best used as individual hunts or scattered through a longer campaign.

This boxset contains themes of death, murder, grief, loneliness, denial of one's own reality, love loss, greed, and that very human trait of personifying the bumps in the night. 

The Hunts

The Queen's Head: Recently re-opened, according to the stories The Queen's Head is haunted by none other than Anne Boleyn. The Owner Augustus Parch has made a deal, a big reward for anyone who can spend a whole night there without incident. 

"The Most Haunted Pub In The Country": Dubbed “The Most Haunted Pub in The Country” by lazy article writers, The Crown has never been haunted, or at least it hadn’t been.

The Misdirecton: Nina seems terrified of a ghost that seems to be haunting her. The problem is, she’s making it all up, why would she bother calling a team of qualified ghost hunters to help her? 

The Shape of Loneliness: Robert’s wife passed away two weeks ago, in the quiet of his grief he’s being haunted by a new ghost.
