10 Terrifying Secrets In Open World Games
1. Strange Man's Cabin - Red Dead Redemption 2
From a literal ghost train, grizzly ritual site, a serial killer, and a vampire, Red Dead Redemption 2 is bursting with numerous secrets that are terrifying enough to earn a place on this list. However, no inclusion is quite as unsettling as what’s become known as the Strange Man's Cabin.
Northwest of Calgia Hall, players can find a rundown shack in the bayou called Bayall Edge. Though the small building looks unassuming from the outside, stepping inside reveals one of this game’s eeriest sights.
Alongside an assortment of strange writings scrawled across the furniture and walls, the cabin features an unfinished portrait that sits in the centre of the room.
More is gradually added to the painting the next three times players visit the location. It's only when arriving for a fourth time during the epilogue that the portrait will be complete, revealing the Strange Man from the first game. Players will also be able to spot the figure in the mirror, watching them, only for them to vanish when turning around.
Raising more questions than answers about who this seemingly supernatural top-hatted figure is, it's this cabin's unknowable nature which makes it one of the spookiest places in the entire game.
