Same, it made zero sense to me. In an age of housing and energy crisis we have huge buildings with lights on for no reason whatsoever? I can't fathom that. So it has to be fiction, and then I think of MUDs, Mystic Quest, WoW, and Elvira. Scary can be part of end of repetition. Also, repetition in gaming is a means to deal with lack of [other] content. In non-fiction that sound you hear in an empty building is probably some homeless person, a prisoner, sex slave, or all three: you ended up in a SM basement. The probability of that is near zero, so shrug it off as fiction. The beauty of fiction is: if you don't like it, if you don't get it, if it gives you inspiration to something competely different -- you are free to do so. Whereas with non-fiction, reality and facts (or laws) may haunt you into oblivion. E.g. paralysis on judgment day.
