Probably just a little trick done by JMods with the rotten potato

'''Unnannounced phenomena''' are various events in RuneScape that have at one time or another hinted to future updates.

==Will o' the wisps==
Prior to the introduction of [[fairy rings]], [[will o' the wisp]]s appeared at various points around ''[[RuneScape]]'' in all of the locations that the fairy rings would be placed.

==Hunt for Red Raktuber Teaser==
[[File:Subcropped.png|right|thumb|A submarine's periscope.]]
{{main|Submarine}}
On [[27 May]] [[2009]], submarine periscopes could be occasionally seen surfacing in the water in the following locations:
*[[Port Sarim]]
*[[Catherby]]
*[[Ship Yard]]
*[[Port Khazard]]

The submarine was later featured in [[Hunt for Red Raktuber]].

==Spirit of Summer Teaser==
[[File:Ghostly voices.png|thumb|The voices heard in the Ruins (east). The woo-ing is how it looks without the [[Ghostspeak amulet]].]]

Voices could be heard within the [[Ruins (east)|eastern ruins]] of the [[Wilderness]]. They were a foreshadow of the [[Spirit of Summer]] quest.

Prior to release, there was much speculation that it could be the third in the [[Ghostly robes (miniquest)|Curse of Zaros]] saga. The voices can only be heard by [[Pay-to-play|members]].

Normally, these messages will appear simply as "Woo Woos", however, when wielding an [[Amulet of Ghostspeak]], players can understand their meaning.

Normally, ghosts don't speak via the chatbox, the only other records of a similar phenomena are inside the [[Underground Pass (dungeon)|Underground Pass]], before [[Iban]] is killed, and in the two existing chapters of the [[Ghostly robes (miniquest)|Curse of Zaros]] saga, this is where this concept came from.

[[File:Voices Location.png|thumb|The ruins is where the ghostly pleas can be found.]]
All the possible phrases the voices say (to date):

*Help...beast...killing family.
*Please...can hear...help...slowly killing...all.
*Devouring...soul.
*Someone please...pain....away.
*Out there...need...is devouring...pain...stops.
*Hurry...stuck...agony...death.
*Beast life...me and...need help.
*Anyone...help...please.
*Save...is dying...have much...left.

==Kuradal==
[[File:Kuradal statspy.png|thumb|Kuradal spying on a player.]]
From [[3 December]] [[2009]], [[Kuradal]] appeared in various Slayer-related locations, cast [[Stat Spy]] or [[Monster Examine]] on a player or monster in the area, then teleported away. She appeared at [[Aberrant Spectres]], [[Abyssal Demon]]s, [[Bloodvelds]], [[Blue Dragon]]s, [[Dagannoths]], [[Dark Beasts]], [[Gargoyles]], [[Green Dragons]], [[Hellhounds]], [[Steel Dragons]] and [[Greater demons]] in [[Brimhaven Dungeon]].

She took up a regular station in the [[Ancient Cavern]] on [[8 December]] 2009.

==Strange power==
{{main|Strange power}}
[[File:StrangePower.gif|left|frame|A player being affected by the strange power.]]
On [[23 January]] [[2010]], at approximately 19:48 UTC, a strange power was felt by all players online at the time. This had a massive effect on the community, with the [[RuneScape Forums]] being flooded by speculation of what it could be and its true purpose.

Later, Jagex confirmed that the strange power was a hint towards [[Daemonheim]], stating, "The strange power that knocked players to their feet in early 2010 came from Daemonheim, or so the [[Fremennik]] believe. Their seers traced the source of the power to come from this point in the [[Wilderness]], and they gathered dozens of warriors to explore Daemonheim's depths. Not everyone has come back, however."

It turns out the strange power was due to the death of a [[Mahjarrat]] , probably [[Bilrach]] as he is involved in the construction of Daemonehim. The same thing happens in the background during one of the cutscenes in [[The Ritual of the Mahjarrat]] , where [[Jhallan]] gets killed by [[Lucien]] .{{clear}}

==Frozen door==
The frozen door was present in the [[God Wars Dungeon]] since its release, but on [[20 December]] [[2010]] an "open" option and a rumbling effects was added. When trying to open the door, a voice threatened the player with the following phrases:
*''Mortals, only death awaits you here.''
*''Release me and know despair.''
*''Face me and know despair.''
*''All those who oppose us will perish''.
*''Give me the power of shadow''!
*''My revenge will be great.''
*''Face me and you will suffer.''
*''You cannot imprison me forever''.
The area was later revealed to be the [[Ancient Prison]], the Zaros dungeon.

==Clan Citadel Teasers==
{{main|Falling rocks}}
On [[2 July]] [[2011]], at roughly 19:03 UTC, large rocks fell from the sky, causing the screen to shake. The rocks remained in place for a few weeks until the release of [[Clan Citadels]] on [[26 July]] 2011.
[[Chickens]] started appearing around [[RuneScape]] after the update on [[7 July]] [[2011]]. The chickens had smoke covering them and disappear after approximately 10 seconds. [[Avalani]] also appeared at the Clan Camp throwing chickens into a portal. This is identical to the "Chicken" emote from the [[Rock fragment]] reward from [[Cryptic Clue Fest III]].

They appeared in the following locations:
* [[Varrock]]
* [[Falador]]
* [[Lumbridge]]
* [[Piscatoris Fishing Colony]]
* [[Canifis]]
* [[Seers' Village]]
* [[Grand Exchange]]
* [[Daemonheim]]
* [[East Ardougne]]
* [[Burthorpe]]
* [[Yanille]]
* [[Neitiznot]]
* [[Tree Gnome Stronghold]]

==[[Ritual of the Mahjarrat]]==
{{Template:Main|Kethsi}}
Being able to teleport to [[Kethsi]] through the fairy rings was a tease to the [[Ritual of the Mahjarrat]] quest.

==Snowmen at Grand Exchange==
[[File:Snow_mages_at_the_Grand_Exchange.png|thumb|Snow Mages at the Grand Exchange.]]
On [[18 December]] [[2011]], dozens of level 22 snow warriors, rangers, and mages appeared at the Grand Exchange. They dropped several snowballs on death and did not fight back.
