We have so much history we could be exploring with it! Off the top of my head you could have...
A squadron of Roman soldiers, lost in a haunted forest, struggling to survive/escape as spirits pick them off one by one.
A young Irish sheep herder who accidentally wanders into the Fae realm.
A pair of pre-colonial Native Americans out on a vision quest who become hunted by a skinwalker.
A trader during the Islamic Golden Age encountering an evil djinn.
Monks in ancient China band together to protect their village from a dragon.
Ancient Sumerian demons.
Aztec shamans performing dark rituals.
Pacts with Babylonian gods in ancient Babylon.
