II FOUND THE SOLOUTION.  Put ur Gramma to the highest, put ur screen to the highest brightness (or until its bright enough to see clearly),put ur volume low, open the door, chuck tonnes of flares, go in, do ur business and piss off. i

Blasting power metal also works wonders. For the purpose, I recommend the album Dawn of Victory by Rhapsody.

But I've used the full-brightness trick too, mostly for console games, specifically Fatal Frame and Silent Hill.

what level was that i have the game and i like the scary parts i hate the level trail of blood the hairy things keep on popping up out of nowhere

[Coldspire]

The clip is from mission #13, "Casing the Joint."

Now that you mention it, the name of the mission or the mission number should probably be in the video or video info. A quick edit to the video's title should be good.

I have thief deadly shadows and really it's a GREAT game but those zombie's in the abysmal gale(ghostship) are freaking me out!

[Coldspire]

Yeah, the Abysmal Gale stuff was pretty durn spooky: close quarters with zombies, ick. But compared to the Cradle, the ghostship is like a Sunday morning walk in the garden.

[DISKENTER]

that was freaky but NOTHING compared to the CRADLE from T:DS

[KuatBacktoid]

I remember that mission.. that was casing the joint right. yeah that library was freaky!

hwuaaa snivit

I used to turn out the lights and all other sound while i played the Thief series back in the day, freaked me out! Love the mouse-spasm when you came face to face with the ghost, I did that plenty of times too, lol

When I was younger (probably 9 years old) I remember my brother showed me this part of the game. It was really scary. Now I played the Thief series on my own (I'm 15 now) and I didn't know when this part would come :) heh It was so awesome when I finally got there, it's really scary if you have surround sound and play in the dark. I was playing this around 11 o clock in the evening.

[haarukkamestari]

Why are the sounds of Hammerite Apparitions heard although I never found one in this level?

[79Yamato]

Yea 5 Stars for the most scary opponent in computer game history! The eerie sounds it makes combined with its very dangerous attributes, game mechanics-wise, makes you actually fear these beasts.

[79Yamato]

That happened to me, by the way. Damn I was shaking... but I think my poor cat was terrified more than me for my reaction XD

[79Yamato]

Play it at night with a proper 5.1 setup.

Preferably alone and/or an attendant cat that all of a sudden bumps open the door to your room while you are hiding in the shadows
