An old friend calls them for help. He had heard about their interest in paranormal activity but dismissed their interest for a new-age fad. Until now. The friend has recently acquired a mansion, but since he has moved in he has had terrifying experiences.

Researching the mansion’s history reveals a lack of ghosts, strange figures, monsters or poltergeist activity that would explain their friend’s fear. However, it seems that he isn’t the only one: many of the previous owners sold or abandoned the mansion after only staying a short period.
Possibilities
1 The mansion is not haunted - it is the building itself that causes the terror. The mansion’s inner design, room layout and architecture somehow causes subconscious fear in the minds of those who dwell in it. Whether this is by accident or design is not clear.
2 The mansion is not haunted. There is an underground pocket of gas beneath the mansion which sometimes leaks into the basement and permeates throughout the mansion. The gas has no smell but stimulates the part of the brain controlling emotions and amplifies them. Given the mansion is a bit spooky, that spookiness combined with the gas becomes terror.
3 The mansion is not haunted, but the neighboring house is. In that house dwells an evil entity, trapped by ancient magic. The creature still has some limited power and feeds on the life force of those nearby his prison - such as the mansion owners. The life force drain causes anxiety and panic attacks.
