Eyes are the windows to the soul, it has oft been repeated; but sometimes, these windows turn into doors, allowing reprehensible entities a course into our world and into us.

Ever wondered what that faint, red glint of the eye was when photographs were processed?
It was not your friend, your parent, your sibling staring back at you; it was something else, something other, and it knows you, has studied you through the veil between worlds and it is hungry.

Alternatively, you could go with the real explanation. You know, that light from the flash reflects off of the back of the eye, and since this reflected light must pass through blood vessels to escape, the only color of light that comes back to the camera lens is red.
Magic is just Science that you haven't figured out yet.

Pretty nifty idea, though. You using it for a horror game?

People don't often ascribe much power to stories, but they're wrong. They carry power over the listener, able to change them in subtle ways; for this reason enemies of creation took several stories, twisting them into abhorrent blasphemies against creation. This is why we unconsciously gather and change stories with their retelling- it's a defense mechanism. Groups blunt their power, and changes distance us from the true power behind them. If one were to find one of these abhorrent tales, to accidentally touch upon their telling, to glimpse a portion of the truth behind them, it could utterly destroy them- but this does not stop some from seeking them.

Loxagn, unless I'm mistaken, this is a rumors thread where you post rumors about the world that may or may not be true (yet often plausible), something that apparently started with Unknown Armies. They then to be kind of horrific, but I've seen some rather amusing ones before.
