Unspeakable horrors can be described as the experience of prolonged exposure to ineffable scenarios and hallucinatory content of a scary and/or traumatic nature which often are often directly influenced by ones own personal fears. This can occur during high dose hallucinogenic experiences, particularly those in which the user is currently undergoing negative emotional stress and personal problems of an introspective nature.
Although the content which comprises these states are largely dependent upon the fears of those who experience them and are indescribable by their very nature, certain themes and archetypes will commonly manifest themselves. These are not limited to but generally include:
- Scenarios and settings of an intrinsically sinister and threatening nature. This can include scenes of suffering directed towards oneself or other people such as being tortured and the direct experience of personal fears. It can also include the visitation of hellish landscapes, ancient lovecraftian architecture, the destruction of civilisations and scenes in which one is being hunted as prey by benevolent creatures or forces.
- Autonomous entities of an intrinsically sinister and threatening nature. This can include demons, deformed monstrosities, hooded figures, mocking entities and otherwise normal human beings with exposed internal organs.
- Biomechanical Gorescapes. This can be described as functionally identical to the experience of machinescapes with the only difference being that its comprising parts almost exclusively consist of indescribably complex interlocking, ever shifting biomechanical gore, organs and suffering sentient beings.
