Secondary Objective: Cultural Diversity! Look up another cultures spooky myths/stories to use. Can be anyone, just try and look up one not native to your own. Hell, it doesn't even really need to be "outside" your culture either, so long as you're not familiar with it. Know what a Wendigo is? Know what a Tulpa is? Know who Baba Yaga is? Hell, even if you already know it but don't think a lot of the other participants know about it, give it a go! Point is, lets all surprise one another outside the usual ghosts and demons.

While at least a mic is recommended, you DON'T need that nor a webcam to participate. We have a text chat too. The way they're laid out, is 10 minutes of chatting, then everyone turns off their mic and hunkers down to write for half an hour. Rinse and repeat.
