As a precaution; the Flagellant hero class has a Crimson Court DLC trinket depicting a chipped tooth, but no action of physically damaging any teeth is shown. Implied in his comic, however.

Several Bandit enemies use whips.
Flagellation (either whipping yourself or having a confessor do so) is a stress-releif ability at the Cathedral.
The Flagellant Monk hero wields a scourge whip.
Swine Slasher enemies target sensitive areas in combat, and they themselves have crude cybernetics replacing their hands and feet.

Skeleton enemies, and a boss who summons floating ghost heads.
The Drowned Crew boss is a group of ghostly pirates and their cursed anchor.
The Squiffy Ghast enemy is a ghost pirate who plays the fiddle and drinks hilarious ammounts of rum.
The Narrator is the ghost of the player's uncle.
A ghost not seen anywhere else in the game cameos in the intro cutscene.

There are traps that play a loud noise and quickly pan to a visual of your character dodging/taking damage, but they at most a little surprising and shouldn't worry anyone concerned about horror-game style jumpscares.

The Abomination hero lives in symbiosis with a demon. He can let it out to play nearly at-will.
The Occultist channels dark forces for his abilities, and is occasionally possessed by them when Stressed Out.
Swine enemies are the result of the Ancestor's demonology experiments.
The Cultist and Madman enemies in the Darkest Dungeon area are at least indwelled and deformed by their uh, passengers.
The mental sickness 'Demonomania,' wherein the afflicted beleives themselves to be possessed but really is not, can be develloped.

You can send your heroes to hospitals, but there's no scene that plays when you do it. Only flavor text on what's probably happening while they get treated.

Masochistic characters sometimes deliberately hurt themselves.

The Flagellant Monk Hero can do this at Camp.

It's a major part of the game. Characters gain Stress until they have a panic attack at 100/200, then have a full-blown heart attack at 200 Stress.

Aligning with the vague, victorian area that the game takes place in, "madmen" and those undergoing mental struggles are disparaged by the characters.
