15 Horrifying Video Game Easter Eggs You Totally Missed

10. Hitman: Contracts €“ Haunted Hotel

The Hitman series is more famous for its stealth action and contrived assassination methods than it is for being particularly creepy, but that didn€™t stop the developers of Hitman: Contracts from sneaking in a ghost, just to scare the pants off us anyway. The mission €œTraditions of the Trade€ in the third instalment of the series has Agent 47 sneaking his way through the Thermal Bath Hotel in Budapest, in order to murder a terrorist and steal a bomb. Whilst there, you can stumble across a door which is initially closed, but can be lockpicked open while nobody is watching. Clearly, curiosity takes priority over the actual mission. Inside, you can catch a glimpse of *something* - which appears to be going straight through the wall. Instead of immediately turning around and pretending nothing happened, like a normal person would, you can follow the corridor round and find a policeman, who will tell you about an €œaccident€ in one of the rooms. The room in question is spattered with blood, has a dead body on the floor and a knife sticking out of the wall €“ and that€™s not even the creepiest bit. The bathroom has blood on the walls and filling up the bath €“ and should you look in the mirror, Caspar the not-so-friendly Ghost flickers into existence before your eyes. And because this is Hitman, the game lets you kill him. Twice.
