* '''Played For Horror''': As the work is a FolkHorror setting, the scariest elements of both Scottish and Irish folklore would be brought up. For example, legend tells that one night, a group of friends got lost in a forest near a loch, and after a moment of wandering, find [[WillOTheWisp Will-o'-the-wisps]] on a path, and use them to try finding their way out, but then, a [[HeadlessHorseman Dullahan]] appeared, scaring the group of friends away, and they try running into the loch for safety, only for the [[StockNessMonster large monster in the loch]] to wake up, and attack the group of friends with little difficulty, with nothing left of them to be seen anymore. However, at the same time of the attack, far back at their hamlet, a loud screech was heard in the woods nearby, and several people rushed out of the houses to try finding the source of the noise, but they find nothing, and they go back to their houses to sleep. But then, at midnight, one of the parents of one of the group's members suddenly wakes up in the middle of the night, and turned to look at a window, only to see a [[OurBansheesAreDifferent pale woman in black standing outside]], looking ''into'' the window...
