Specters puts an ancient presence in contact with the modern practice of entering, mapping and disturbing old spaces. Watch how an apparently solid wall or passage changes status once the characters believe it contains an explanation. Archaeological curiosity can become a horror mechanism when gaining access also weakens a boundary. The strongest effects are those that make the site's physical texture feel continuous with the thing emerging from it.
