The latest spooky discovery comes from Reddit user yaesthete, who posted a video of an eerie shadow in a Saint Denis house. The video shows the player exploring with a lantern when they notice a stationary shadow at the end of a hallway. The shadow, with a silhouette resembling a person, stands eerily still, adding to the horror-like atmosphere created by the dim lighting and the flickering lantern. In an attempt to interact, the player shoots at the shadow. Surprisingly, the bullet hits the shadow, causing it to fall like a normal NPC and allowing the player to loot it. The player then loses honor points, which typically happens when harming regular NPCs in the game. This bizarre encounter has sparked intense debate among fans.
