Line 131:
* The quest of Jitters in Duskwood. When you read his journal telling the story of what happened to Sven Yorgen's family. Turns out the Dark Riders came to their house to question them on the Scythe of Elune. They were actually looking for Jitters, since he was hiding out in their barn without their knowledge, but since the Riders didn't know this, assumed the people living there had it. The mother very calmly tries to negotiate the Riders away from her children so they'd kill her out in the woods and then hopefully just go do something else. They then use a mind-reading technique (which according to Jitters' account sounds to be ''very'' painful) and determine that Mrs. Yorgen was lying. The lead Rider then orders his men to slaughter the family. When the story gets to this part, Jitters simply says that if he were to describe exactly what happened, he would surely go completely insane. Sven himself, who was in Darkshire when this happened, comes back to find his family's mutilated corpses.
* Gnoll tents are made of human skin. There are ''faces'' on them.
* "[Stood In The Fire]", creepy in more ways than one. The sky turns blood red to signal the *completely random* appearance of the [[Big Bad]] and the normal zone music fades out, becoming the tense "Stood In the Fire" track and you hear the roar of the boss, who then begins flying at about the speed of an epic flying mount (380% normal speed) down a set path torching everything: mobs, quest givers, critters, players... nothing survives. But it's not the event that's scary (well, getting "Deathwinged" might be for new players who have no clue as to what happened), ''it's the suicidal zeal that players have for being there for the achievement''.
** What's particularly bad about this one is that being in a cave or building, or underground base will not protect you from this event. So if you've spent the past few minutes in a microdungeon, you wouldn't even know this was happening, you'd just suddenly catch fire and die out of nowhere.
** It can double as a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] - there's a glitch that renders you immune to the fire if you're on a flying mount and hover just above the ground (you still get the achievement even though you don't die). You get to watch the [[Mooks]] of the area respawn and die over and over again for the next five minutes. This troper found it hilarious the first time.

* The bears in Hillsbrad Foothills, the ones toward the start of the zone. The bears themselves are not scary, it's the fact that their backs are ''covered in spider eggs.'' [http://www.wowhead.com/npc=47204/infested-bear#comments It's exactly what it looks like.]
