Pink Bows
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. The soft light caught the corner of my eye as I was sitting in the kitchen finishing summer homework. At first, I thought it was a trick, it seemed like my lack of sleep had caught up to me. Mr. Johnson, the man I babysit for, had told me the cabin behind this house had been uninhabited for years, just some old real estate lying on the edge of the woods that not a single person in this small town would buy. I do not blame them, the wooden exterior had appeared to be rotted by the Carolinian dew over the years and there seems to be no electricity. Not even my penniless self would buy it. I looked back to my work and continued to slowly scribble notes down with my ink-stained hands as I felt my head grow so heavy that I had to use one arm to hold it up. My hand slips back and makes its way through my unwashed hair, I feel the grease slip through my fingers and the split ends prickle my palm. I would like to do my work any other time besides whatever hour of the night it is, but between waitressing during the day and babysitting at night, my only time to study is once the blue summer sky falls to charcoal and the kids are tucked in bed.

You've Got To Know The River
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Muck-smudged glass glowed brown and something under the crooked front verandah shifted nervously. From inside came the sound of rusted bed springs giving up a long held weight. A family of wild pigs, rooting in the deep, wet mulch at the base of the ancient red gums that surrounded the cabin, shrieked and bolted for the the river.

The Nightmare Witches
For best experience, please listen to the song below as you read. The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Something ancient had woken that night, something hungry. Some say the cabin was home to a witch, lost in the power of black magic. Others say the cabin is home to a monster made from pure evil. The truth was much worse. Whatever creature roamed the halls of that cabin, was beyond any horror imaginable.

The Cabin
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. My friends and I always loved this time of year. We could go walking through the woods in the back of our property and enjoy the sights because the leaves have fallen off the trees. The grass has turned brown and the leaves crunch underneath our feet. We have gotten a lot older and just enjoy the walking and talking we can do without a curfew. We’ve walked for about 2 hours before we get ready to head back but we hear a scream, a blood curdling scream. We all stop and look at each other. Because it is in the woods we can’t figure out which way it came from. We grab our cells but there is no reception. We hear a low howl and take off running. We all run in different directions. I start to peak around the tree but I hear footsteps coming towards me. It sounds like whatever it is, is dragging something. I try to hold my breath because the smell is overpowering. Whatever it is turns and walks away from me. I look around the tree to make sure the coast is clear and I see a trail of blood down on the leaves. I make the sound of a bird like we used to when we were younger and my friends come out of their hiding places too.

The Abandoned Cabin of Death
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. You could see the darkened windows blackened by dust. Imaginations of the locals began swirling whether it was a ghost, paranormal activity, occult worship or squatters. You could hear the whispers saying that the candle would only come on at night to welcome one soul to the cabin. But then that person was never heard from again. Imaginations, loneliness or desperation wanting to allow them to be free from their miserable existence.

Werewolf legend.
There's a legend of a werewolf that lives in the woods. Typical start, I know. There was a dare every year at the town high-school to have everyone or a certain group of people camp out in the woods on the night of a full moon. The dare usually flies around the school at the beginning of the year as a form of hazing or the end of the year as a way to go out with a bang. There was one year when the school first opened that students decided to camp out in the woods on their last day of senior year. That was 5 years ago, and they've been missing since. Their camp grounds were found, all of their stuff being in tents or around the campsite, but no sign of the students. The police searched the whole forest, and everywhere in town that kids might try to be hiding because they're doing drugs or drinking, but the kids are still missing. Every year that dare went around the school everyone says they'll camp out in the woods and chicken out at the last minute. This year though, there is a group of students that didn't grow up in the town and didn't believe the story of the students that went missing because of the werewolf. They thought the werewolf story was made up as a reason for the students to just disappear, but the students from out of town thought they may have just run away. It was a small town so everyone seemed to know everything about the people here, so maybe they were all running from something they had done in this town. The out of town students decide to stay in the woods overnight the first Friday night of the school year. They kind of bonded over not knowing anyone, and because they weren't from this area. There were three boys and two girls in the bunch. As they were talking about their plans to camp out in the woods where the werewolf was supposedly at, they decided to attempt to invite other students at the school so that they had more people to keep them company and play games. They all invited one person to join them, and all of the people they invited said they would be there, but of course, they wouldn't know for sure until they got to the camp spot in the woods. Derek was the first to show up, in the group and when he got to the camp site there was a girl with super curly hair sitting on a log that was made into a bench and was placed in front of a fire pit. Derek assumed she must be a friend of one of the other people in the group.

Haunted Cabin in the Woods
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Julie thought that was odd since she, her boyfriend, and her friends were the only ones who were supposed to be there.

Settle Down
One The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. It had a chemically sweet scent and, like so many candles before it, had been lit for the sake of ambiance.

The Face of Freddy Findlay
The Cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. I could just faintly see it from where I sat at the rickety, old, wooden table of my own summer cottage. I leaned forward, rubbed my eyes to be sure, and lifted the bottle of Jack Daniels to search for an expiry date. I had only had one drink after all. I stood up and walked slowly to the window to get a better look. I couldn’t breathe, my body was frozen; fingers pressed so firmly on the windowsill, my nails hurt. The flickering light shone through the woods and a shiver ran down my spine. Impossible!

The Unseen
"The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window-" "What was that?" Laura asked nervously. She turned her body around to look for the source of the noise coming beyond the treeline. The top of the trees had a soft orange hue from the sun that was slowly setting. The campfire was warm offsetting the cool breeze present on this summer evening.
