Video - Haunted Woods: Emily's Desperate Night in the Abandoned Cabin
Rain hammered the rusty roof of the abandoned cabin. Inside, huddled by a dying fire, Emily shivered. Her phone, dead. The map, useless without a signal. A guttural growl echoed from the woods beyond the lone window. Panic clawed at her throat. Memories of the park ranger's warning - "Don't stay after dark, the things that come out..." - flashed before her eyes. Another growl, closer this time. She grabbed a fallen branch, heart hammering a frantic rhythm against her ribs. The floorboards creaked behind her. She spun, the branch trembling in her hand. But there was nothing there, just an empty room bathed in flickering firelight. Relief flooded her, fleeting. A low chuckle, raspy and inhuman, sent shivers down her spine. It came from everywhere and nowhere at once. The fire sputtered and died, plunging the room into darkness. Emily screamed, a sound swallowed by the hungry silence of the woods.
