When one is near you torches will flicker, paintings will change behind you and your vision will darken like when you go up to high
(When you go to hight above the clouds your vision dims slightly)
[QUOTE=swampie;30455186]A simple mob
A Ghost
Sure it sound simple, but put yourself in the situation of your character
you are checking your chests for some wood and you find that your stone is in the wrong chest.[b] nothing big[/b], just move it back and continued. you go down into your mine with your new pick and find a torch missing from the normal way you place them. no biggie, just throw one up. after digging for a while you emerge from the depths to find that your door has been left open. Oh well, better be more careful next time.
At first it would do very discreet things. maybe only one thing a week. after a while you would notice these things. beds become useless, because if you try to sleep you will just wake up in a cold sweat.
After that bigger things would happen. you will be walking in your house and a torch will burst off the wall in front of your face. doors will open and slam when you are not looking and paintings will change. every day it gets worse. windows breaking, doors being knocked down and things going missing from your chest. you ignore it and go back down into your mines, hoping nothing to bad happens while you are away, you begin a new 1x2 pathway into the stone and your torches suddenly all blow out, you quickly throw one on the wall next to you in horror. just in time to see the last stone blocks, filling up the pathway out of your 1x2 hole. you struggle for your pick, but its gone missing and you don't have any way out.
the mob would be really, REALLY rare, and there would be nothing in the patch notes about it.[/QUOTE]
Really though?'
I mean sometimes this can have big effects for players even if it is just a misplaced torch or a door left opened I know that I spend alot of my time organizing my items and if I ever should need those in a emergency that's a real bitch...

Thats the point
If it happens to you, you become more aware. you remember what torches were up, if doors were open and where your stuff was in your invertory
Actually, i fired up a save i had and checked, to my amazement, a painting i had put up that consisted of purple blocks had been changed into a burning skull.
Ghost or not, you decide ?

I think its been a bug since alpha
Or maybe a Boo style mob, but tameable? (like a wolf, but much cooler)
Willowisp?
Mob only found in deep swampy forests. Neutral, and when you try to approach it it disappears. However, if you're lucky enough to kill it you receive some sort of special items. They come in an assortment of designer colours.
I think this would be quite interesting.Maybe it could be slightly less terrifying and when you exorcise it,it could leave behind a clue or a map or something leading to a randomly generated ruined castle(that only generates after you find the map),with a Nether portal at the top or bottom of said castle leading to a big Nether dungeon with awesome loot exclusive to the dungeon.
Actually,scrap the ghost and just make the map/clue be found rarely in dungeons.

The one thing i'm wondering is if you manage to make that, are you going to add the polarghost3000? (?)
ghosts would be awsome since notch is adding random ruins to the game, espeacialy if building a pentagram out of redstone would summon them. also id like to see something evil like this comming out of the nether portals, cas rly... having one in my basement has gotta be putting out some bad mojo already
a goblin invasion would be impractical for me, cas i live in a big 30x30 pyramid thats like 5 floors tall, 2 underground 3 inside, with the outside coated in steps.... yes it makes it very resistant to the ghosts in the nether. but i usualy wake up to cows walking around on my house
This would be awesome if it reallly just occured in, maybe, 1 out of a thousand worlds, or more. That way, most people will never encounter it, and people on different will simply believe it's a just a band wagon of some kind, like herobrine.
[QUOTE=ironman17;30455304]A haunting sounds absolutely delightful. And by delightful I mean terrifying.
Also, would there be any methods of banishing said Ghost? Perhaps using Golden weapons, or perhaps forging some sort of mystical Cold Iron Circle?[/QUOTE]
Who ya gonna call?

That's not cool bro'. If a ghost did that, my OCD would explode and I'd have to hunt down the shitter.

[QUOTE=Randdalf;30469238]I'd like a Weeping Angle style mob from Doctor Who. When you look at it, you think it's a statue and then when you turn around and start walking away, it begins following you, until you turn around again and crap your pants.[/QUOTE]
looks like you won.
Notch already said he will keep the game "child-ish" (no gore, blood or overly scary stuff), and that would just be a annoying as fuck mob with no use. And quit with the idea with Minecraft being an horror game, because if i wanted that i would probably play Amnesia.
Ghost that follows you around and makes ambient cave sounds
i like to be near my cottage because creepers and cows come then im scared i go behind locked door and then im all comfy :3 hehe

How is this related to the thread in any way?
With notch actually coding stuff and not taking a vacation every other day, maybe, JUST maybe this could happen.
They should only spawn in (and maybe close to) strongholds or underground ravines.

Or in specific biome like Wolves (forest with fog and weird noises, for example)

And I would love little goblins that can open doors and remove torches.
And if they spot you they start running away. If you don't chase them they'll come back and remove some more torches or doing other annoying stuff
I think you should have the option if you wanted to summon this "Ghost".
