A mugger in a dark alley; completely mundane, nothing unusual or supernatural about the scene at all. Keep players thinking that there has to be; watch them flail while they try to decide whether to attack or defend against what looks entirely too normal to actually just be a normal thug with a knife.
Traffic accidents happen. Usually, there’s nothing supernatural about them at all.
Whatever the name of this street, take it at face value. It’s not good to be Patrick on Kilpatrick Road.
A perfectly normal situation requiring a perfectly normal clerk, sales assistant, realtor, or whatever other function may be called upon. The person does their job to the best of their ability and acts perfectly normal—but it’s a little eerie that they’re dressed in 1960s fashions, talks like 1960, and have mannerisms that belong in 1960s. The fact that they’re a little bit see-through in sharp light might prove awkward, too.
Grandma died and now her nurse turned up a will leaving the house to the nurse. Grandma's ghost is following her son around, and those sensitive to otherworldly presences might even perceive her -- though whether she's gloating that the loaf of a son isn't getting a dime, or wringing her hands because the evil nurse is stealing the inheritance, who knows?
