So, I had just generated my first snow map, and was happy. I went around looking for a cavey area to set up my base, and I found a bit of exposed stone. I erased two blocks and sure enough, there was a pitch dark hole in their place. Before I took a step, however, this creepy chord played. It was a sort of drawn-out minor chord with string instruments, like the sort that foreshadow events in horror movies. I was frozen with momentary fear, and then looked in my inventory. There was now a rose in my first slot.
I definitely heard a creepy chord too while digging down. There was a lot of creepy screeching prior to it too. I came to the forums hoping I'd find an answer to this mystery since I immediately ran from the creepiness and cried like a baby and came here =P.
Wasn't on a snow map though, if that changes anything.

Early on in my days of Infdev, there was a big cave not too far from my base. I explored it vaguely for a while, it seemed like a typical cave. Just some coal, and a few blocks of iron. After a while, I noticed a big hole in a place I hadn't really lit up with torches.
I fell down it.
It seemed way deeper than should be possible to naturally form in Minecraft. Once I reached the bottom, with a big chunk out of my health, I figured I might as well explore and mine a little while I was down there. So, I did. It was pretty filled with iron, which I needed at that time, but not much else.
He's the creepy part.
It never ended, and I could never find that hole back to the main cavern. Many of the torches I planted seemed to disappear on their own, and I got hopelessly lost. Eventually, I dug up to the surface, freaked out. Eventually I did go back in, vowing to remember how to get back, but I couldn't find it later. Even more tunnels were there this time, and it took many many hours to find my way back.
I dumped lava down the entrance, and sealed it up, Never have went back, never will. It's called Jackson's Mine.

This would make for great fanfic O-O IT is actually kinda creepy when you tell your story that way.
Oh, Jackson's Mine will be featured in my Minecraft fanfic in Arts And Creativity.
This will be nice to read. Any way..back to the topic..
For me..it was...well...just made me shi- bricks..I was in my house..sitting on at the bottom of the stairs at night waitting for the mobs to go away and..out of no where, in my almost 100% lit up house, I heard cave music..then out of no where a pig drops on my head folowed by a sheep and scare the liveing shi- out of me. I heard neither of them untill after they fell. I really didn't think they would just spawn right there on my head. @_@
Minecraft really can mind**** you, pretty badly at that. Stuff that's happened has left me quite shaken. I think the entire concept of being alone, and surrounded by such a vast world, is quite unsettling. I don't go in caves. I don't stay out at night.
I have had lots of creepy moments, I'll just state my most recent. So it was getting dark, and I had this large terraced farm on the outskirts of my settlement, it was a bit far from the well lit part of my "base". The farm itself was surrounded by a wall, and on the outside was an EXTREMELY dense forest, very dark, especially at night. I had just finished harvesting some of my wheat and I thought "Oh it's just getting dark I think I'll go camp out at my treehouse in the middle of the Big Bad Wood (that's what I call my super creepy, super dark forest, where you can literally walk across it entirely via the leaves since the trunks are about 2-3 suqares apart. Anyways, as I turned the corner this jumped out from behind a tree, I just jumped, like, violently enough to hit my hand on my desk, because my mouse area is underneath a shelf. I was still shaking about a minute afterwards >.< And what was creepy was the sheep wasn't even making it's nice little annoying "bbaaAaaa!" It just jumped out...and stared...

Yes, O_O I know. However, I got mad at myself for being a wuss...so one night I forced myself to stay outside with only essentials...I was scared sh--less...just kinda walking around...somehow I didn't run into any mobs...but the sheer thought that a spier or zombie would jump out at any moment was very scary..
And yea I agree...a huge infinite world...can be scary and make you feel small ._.

I'm just paranoid. Examples:
Underground:
1. Every time I place a torch, my finger is on the sword key. But I still get surprised by zombies that appear.
At night:
1. I do not go out. The one time I did, I barely killed the spider (no armor, only stone sword, I just started) that spawned...
2. Whenever anything moves, I swap to sword. Even if I hear baaaa
This is why I want SMP to come out. Then I'll explore caves with friends while wielding a bow and arrow and staying back. :biggrin.gif:
BTW have you ever seen a sheep spawn by lava because of the light? It's creepy to hear baaa noises when in underground areas.

I don't go in caves either. However, I do occasionally leave my house/base during the in-game night, just so I can find enemies to kill for their supplies. Then there's the creeper. I always run back when I encounter one. XD
I remember stuff about "what you don't know can't hurt you." If that were true, I'd probably still have an extra stack of wood, coal, and iron right now. Just a few days ago, I was chopping down a tree in broad daylight. I used to think that enemies un-spawned when daylight happened. Apparently that's not true. I got all of the wood blocks from that tree, then massive explosion. For a sec, I thought something fell on me. I got back to where I died and there was a crater there.
I also don't enter caves because it's not easy to get back to safety when enemies spawn, or at least, in my opinion.
As for sound effects and music, my music is off and I jam to other stuff on Winamp, but sound effects remain on.

Enemies don't despawn in daylight, but zombies and skeletons are set on fire and die quickly, and spiders become comparatively peaceful, only attacking you if you attack them. Creepers, however, can survive in daylight, and they''ll still be quite violent. And skeletons and zombies in water will survive, so really you're never safe.
Well, back before the creepy sound effects were added, the time I got scared, or at least startled the most, was when I was digging down in a cave. I saw a iron ore block all by itself in the wall, so I went to go chip it out, and hoping there'd be another one behind it. There wasn't. Instead, there was a skeleton, who happily shot me in the face the moment the block between us disappeared. I about jumped out of my chair.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

I heard that minor chord too although it might have just been a train crossing the tracks near my house. It was very deep and ominous, like the cave I was in was a portal to hell, like in Dwarf Fortress.
Well I just became the most badass last game I had.
I put all my armor and useful stuff into a chest,
took one torch with me, then proceeded to spelunk all the way to the bottom of my cave. I travelled until I met a dead end, put the torch down, turned it to hard, and the most glorious battle ever took place.
Creepy sounds, TWANGS and Ssssss's oh my!
also, creepy sounds ftw.
(Except for that wailing one. That one still unnerves me.)

I sealed up the cave.
