Has something in-game ever creeped you out?

Final Fantasy XIV has recently patched in its egg-hunting holiday for the year, and the results have been an entirely new level of creepy. The holiday is quite explicitly described as the result of an insane religious zealot passing around eggs based off a dream she had, while in the skies over each city, eggs hover in the air like a pending alien invasion. It's actually far creepier than it sounds, despite the fact that the salient goal is to just get your character a silly looking hat.

Of course, the holiday events are not usually the big creepy parts of a given game. But there are many times when a specific quest line or zone or even character model will just make you a little uneasy. So has something in a game ever creeped you out? World of Warcraft's long-standing demonic Goldshire children? The mass sacrifices taking place in Guild Wars? Or something even more innocuous?
