Set within the picturesque countryside of Montana, there’s tonnes of weird and wonderful things for players to do and discover in Far Cry 5's fictional Hope County whenever they’re not fighting back against the fanatical religious cult terrorising the area.

However, not everything that can be found within Far Cry 5’s large open world is as colourfully bizarre as collecting bull testes or working on the set of a low-budget action flick.

By journeying to O'Hara's Haunted House, players can find one of this game's more frightening additions.

A barn that's been transformed into a spooky funhouse, this location is full of creepy mannequins and jump scares. The scariest thing about this place, though, is a mysterious man who can be seen looking out of the attic window.

However, when players arrive at the attic the man is nowhere to be seen. Instead, players will find a singular red balloon, a menacing note, and a deranged voice message in what is a spine-chilling reference to Pennywise from Stephen King's IT.

This isn't the only reference to the child-eating clown in this game either. A second red balloon can also be found floating next to a sewer in another nod towards this classic horror villain.
