One early game I ran using the CoC adventure The Haunting, my players were shocked/horrified seriously when they realized the house we were playing in (mine, a 110-yr old farmhouse) was in many, many ways laid out exactly like the adventure.  When they finally decided to head upstairs, etc, we actually DID it.

 

Freaked them the heck out.
