The prologue has a mysterious man slowly walking down to the lake during a dark and stormy night. The player can even choose to have him whistle a creepy tune to add onto the atmosphere.
The opening, while doubling as funny, can be this if taken at face value. Arthur starts off the newest Jenny LeClue-book by cheerfully revealing that the lead apparently died a gruesome death. And the first scene we see of her has her lying in a puddle of what seems to be blood. Of course she isn't actually dead, but still...
The Scare Chord that plays whenever Jenny finds herself in a dangerous situation is extremely jarring and will most likely make you flinch the first few times you hear it.
The entire scene in the library.
Getting into the quiet and seemingly deserted library is already pretty unnerving, with even Jenny commenting that it's way too quiet.
Jenny almost gets electrocuted, courtesy of the malfunctioning ladder-system and a puddle of water.
Following the clues to the Dean's corpse. That slowly building feeling of dread never goes away.
Finding the Dean's body, with its very obviously broken neck, the grey pallor and the creepy purple veins all over his head.
Jenny slowly realizes that the Dean died only a few minutes ago and that there is only one exit in the library that she is currently blocking. Meaning the murderer is still in the building.
It starts off with a shrunken Jenny being forced to traverse the newspaper headline of Dean Straussberry's murder and her mother's subsequent arrest. Then goes over to a giant version of the sheriff (who is also her grandfather) angrily yelling at her and interrogating her. She runs from him and sees her mother in the distance, but before Jenny can reach her she is imprisoned by a shadow-y figure and disappears.
Following this is a scene of Jenny trying to in vain to get a gigantic Keith to notice her while all around her people start badmouthing her mother. She cannot reach him and the platform she was running on turns out to be a huge coffin that tilts to the side to drop her off.
Jenny finds herself in a red-tinted room and tries to put together a bunch of haunting creatures that have her torn-up family picture for heads. When put back together, the picture comes to life and attacks Jenny, who futilely tries to get away. Thankfully, this marks the end of the dream and Jenny wakes up.
When peeking through the keyhole from Suzie's room, Jenny eavesdrops on a conversation between her grandfather and Mrs. Glatz. She pulls away for a time and when she looks again, her grandfather seems to have disappeared - only for him to be appear right in front of the keyhole.
The ghosts of the miners in the Glatz-mine. They're actually harmless and even helpful at times, but the first reveal of them just staring mutely with their lifeless glowing eyes is still incredibly creepy and unnerving.
