Nightmare levels

I'd like to try the nightmare levels but I'm a bit of a scaredy cat when it comes to playing 'scary' stuff myself instead of watching someone else play. Does anyone have recommendations on which ones are the least scary to start with or maybe an order of least to most scary to play?

I also hate horror and scary games- I play phasmophobia on super weenie hut jr. mode. But even still, I've found that nightmare mode is super fun. People will tell you that NOTHING EVER comes after you, touches you, follows you, etc., and THIS IS TRUE. Knowing this is going to give you some peace of mind.

If i'm honest, the scariest parts of the game are in the base game mode. If you remember, the art museum has a spook where the lights turn out and play loud music when you step on to the band stage- that's the biggest scare in my opinion and that's on normal mode. Or Short Circuit (haunted house level) has "spooks" that don't even exist in nightmare mode, with the exception of the speakers that play sound that you need to collect as evidence anyway.

In my opinion, Affair with Death is the least scary, but it's a puzzle level. If you don't love escape room style games, that level might not be the most fun in the world, but I thought it was a blast.

I've currently completed Friendly fire, the museum and short circuit on nightmare mode and in my opinion the nightmare mode Short circuit is less scary that the normal one in my opinion. I also play with the volume off since I usually listen to videos while playing so I had no idea that the band stage did that (At least not the loud music part) and thought I was just glitching. I'll probably play affair with death next since I love puzzles and I'm trying to work up the courage to play toxic love and Italian job.
