Scraping events doesn't actually end them, it just makes them stop preventing pausing.

I had heard that as well but i had the large white wisp event that makes it extremely foggy once when i was trying to run around and do a bunch of stuff, not wanting to deal with it i scraped it just to see what would happen. It turned instantly sunny and the wisp was gone. Maybe it was just perfect timing though, lol
