100 Space Ghosts, Apparitions and Strange Encounters

100 Space Ghosts, Apparitions and Strange EncountersNot everything that happens has an easy, logical explanation, even in a futuristic setting. Things can happen whose true origin is unclear, that may even be considered paranormal.

This supplement has 100 things to see in a futuristic setting, ranging from apparent ghosts and odd encounters to perhaps shared hallucinations of things that never happened.

To use the list, either roll d100 for a random result or select appropriate ones manually.

Here are some sample results:

46. Kraken: The Kraken is a tentacled creature that looks like it would be at home in an ocean, if it wasn’t easily the size of a starship. However, though the Kraken has been seen, it always disappears when approached. Some believe that it’s a real creature, or species of creatures, that exits reality into another dimension when something gets close; others that it’s a spirit of some kind.

47. Lift Ghost: This ghost is encountered on ships large enough to have lifts in them, and usually those with bigger crews and passenger manifests. The Lift Ghost is only ever encountered in a lift, and is always inside when it’s entered. They don’t speak, though may make non-verbal interactions, and leave the lift before anyone else. After they leave, those who encountered the Lift Ghost realise that they got out where there shouldn’t have been a deck, seemingly having the doors open between stops onto a floor that’s only briefly glimpsed.

48. Lost Astronaut: Sometimes this figure is encountered on a spacewalk, or other excursion outside a ship. The figure is wearing a spacesuit that’s clearly out of date, and they gradually fade in and out of existence. Those who have seen the Lost Astronaut have reported that it seems to be reaching out seeking help, but it always completely vanishes before any can be given.
