15 Most Terrifying Moments In Non-Horror Video Games

2. Lavender Town - Pokemon Red & Blue

The original, the first, arguably the most popular. What can I say about this classic creepypasta? This town has no Pokemon gym.

Oh, then there's a whole theory, mythos and syndrome surrounding it.

Almost like the tape from The Ring, it's reached out and affected our world too. This "Lavender Town Syndrome" involves a lot of suicides and illnesses revolving around children in Japan after listening to the soundtrack that plays over the area as the frequency is too high for adults to hear.

Somehow it manipulated kids into taking their own life. Fortunately, it's nothing more than an urban legend, but it - appropriately for this article - is quite horrifying whether it's a fallacy or not, it has tormented the Pokemon community for years.
