well, what exactly have you been trying? i like weaving a paperclip (or a rubberband) through the strings and pushing it down near the bridge. clips work better if you can get them to stick straight up.

Well, I tried to borrow a few tricks from a Fred Frith video, but my acoustic has sort of high-ish action, so it was hard to find things that wouldn't just slip out of the strings
Was going to try to find something I could weave around the strings..but wasn't sure what to use...
I'm still a newb when it comes to prepared guitar..but it's something I've been interested in for a while as a listener :P

"creepy" sounds like the perfect application for ring modulator.

i've found that my favorite "spooky" thing to do with a ring mod is play dissonant triads...with the right setting they sound like church bells, especially into a reverb/delay or with some added modulation.

Fuzz + tons of reverb + playing behind the bridge.
