RE: Does someone know any good scares?

Well, i guess scares pretty much linked together with 'the unknown'.
In some way, you find out that there is 'something' out there.
You are forced to go that way, even though you don't want to. (quest, perhaps)

This 'unknown' could show itself as, breaking glass, mysterious/scary sounds, falling objects (from bookshelfs, tables, etc.), slime,

Different ways this could go:

1. If it is unknown sounds, they could continue as the player walks towards them, and then, suddenly just stop out of nowhere! (The sounds have to be played a while, so the player kinda gets used to them, but still gets freaked out). The player should continue forward, wondering what the heck just happened. Then BAM the player runs into what made these sounds (Grunt, Brute, Shadow, The players own mind, etc.)

BUT: In these days players would maybe expect the sounds to strike again with a shock! So maybe just blow their mind with the sounds, NOT coming back... or do they...

2. The 'unkown' continues to appear, as the player walks toward them. happening more often, as the player gets closer to 'it'. Then suddenly something unusually happens. That is often the way I work. Something happens suddenly!

You can make scares with a lot of different entities.. It's just to get the idea.
But to summarize:

Something unknown
Something suddenly happens
The player wonders and gets freaked out

The whole idea is that player is never really sure..

Trying is the first step to success.
