The next day at camp involved some hiking, camp walks, swimming in the lake and songs around the camp fire with marshmallows.
As the night started to get darker and colder the family started to hear louder noises from the bushes behind their tents. The family were in the middle of the forest were the trees were crowd all together and bent over like old men and waved in the moonlight.
They start to walk towards the shadow, it starts to get bigger as they get closer, louder as they get near, and then a 7ft creature appears about 9 meters from them. All three of the kids Michelle, Lucy and Samuel freeze in horror, the creature was very dark and gothic like, exactly what they had seen in the posters except real and more able to see, the three kids run back to their camp spot while the parent’s John and Steph chase after

    The year was 1953. It was a cool, crisp twenty-ninth of October. Usually, after their chores and homework were done, Kathy, 8, and her brother Jonathan, 15, along with their friend May, 11, and her cousin Adam, 13, all went to Joe’s Arcade, the local hangout of Leaport, North Carolina. Instead, they all decided to meet at the end of their dead end street, Farrow Avenue, and go for a walk through the woods. They were all bored since the arcade was too crowded and supper wasn’t ready yet. Their town was a small town, so there wasn’t any other places to go besides the woods. Plus, the old, burned O’Leary house was out there.…

    I started by asking Mr. and Mrs. Smith what they remembered about the night. The mother hesitantly replied saying her son had told her that he heard weird footsteps before he was attacked. She then started to weep from the realization that the footsteps were from the attacker. As her husband tried to comfort his grieving wife, I asked him what was taken from the house. He thought for a moment and then replied, “Nothing, not a God damn thing.”…

    I could hear the blood pumping in my ears, away from the situation, and I started calming my breathing. I headed back to camp, content with trying to forget what I heard. The heavy footsteps of a creature larger than simple game. Almost as though just hiding from me, either to prepare to pounce, or to hide. What bothered me most however, was not that it was seemingly a creature who just wanted to hide, but that it hid. It sounded like a large creature, but a deer would have run, and a wolf would attack, followed by others. What was that? As I reached the campsite, the flames of my fire were softly dancing as though doing a waltz. I checked all of camp, but all the food and supplies I had gathered were gone. I headed back into the woods to the spot where I heard the rustle of leaves. The forest was still unsettlingly still, so I made the point to make my presence be known. I searched for any signs of where my belongings could have ended up. I stumbled upon a skinned deer. With that I knew I was not alone. I searched further, and found the hide on the ground near the river. I lifted it, wondering why any creature would skin a deer just to leave the hide behind not too far…

    What is that? A hut? Is there someone there? Thoughts racing through my mind I run toward it, straight to the door. Nervous, we stop when we get to the door. What if no one is here? What if this is just a dream…our imagination? We lift our hand to knock, and rap three times. We wait for what seems to be an eternity. Just as we were turning to walk away the door opens and we turn back to see two people standing in the doorway.…
