3 Horror Stories in the Woods Animated

it's been one hell of a day i wish i could say it's only today but with this job it's more like a never-ending series of hellish days amounting to one hell of an eternity i'm finding myself more exhausted than usual as i'm finishing the day's rounds as an evergreens edge park ranger i'm tasked with maintaining the grounds here i also let visitors into the park give basic information answer questions i'm assuming those are the only normal ranger duties i perform but i wouldn't know i'd never even met a park ranger until i found myself here as i round the bend several miles into the trail i come upon this morning's hiker what's left of him at least his remains mostly skeletal now lay in a mound discarded on the side of the footpath the nearby trees have already begun to feed their roots outstretched like tentacles slithering towards the last pieces of the ill-fated man releasing their corrosive toxin over the final chunk a foot the flesh melts to slide right off the bones dissolving into the forest floor i wish i could say i'm disturbed by any part of this but mostly i'm just thankful the hunter left the hiker's body off the trail makes my job easier the beastly trees re-bury their roots creaking and groaning as they settle there really is nothing quite as unsettling as the sounds of the trees feeding at night sucking up the visitors liquefied remains from the ground i'm guessing that if i were employed at any of the 419 actually sanctioned national parks ensuring visitor safety would be a key component of my job not here though the grounds demand blood and there will be hell to pay if they go unsatisfied i swear the trees require blood more than water i continue my rounds past a massive pit normally covered by brush a trap soft whimpers arise but i paid no mind the hunter has done well today i hike by a precipice hear the woman's shrieks as expected for once she doesn't sound pained confused she sounds triumphant everything is as it should be i come to the final incline before the true gem of this park the panoramic view on the edge dusk is starting to fall true dusk not midday dusk but it's still a sight to behold an endless sea of green treetops it's here that instead of continuing the path down the mountain i veer off course into the thicket of trees the foliage is so dense that i have to clear the thick branches with my knife the trees shriek with each amputation i watch the ground carefully to avoid tripping over roots in this moment i realized that i'm frightened terrified yet exhilarated for the first time since i discovered this place i wish i could say i was different from the rest of the visitors relentless in their quest for evergreen's edge they pour all of their time money and energy into the pursuit but the truth is i'm just like them a lifetime ago i lost everything family job and sanity to find this place well i didn't really lose everything so much as i gave it away it was all over for me from the moment i first read about evergreen's edge i left everything behind to come here so optimistic so naive i was a cryptozoologist with an insatiable curiosity driven to uncover the existence of the world's most mysterious and elusive creatures and find them i did a bear with a gaping teeth for a face shredded me with his claws on first sight i chose to ignore the overwhelming dread i felt leading up to my demise just like the others do we swallow our apprehensions because we've been searching for so long yet the longer one stays here the more likely they are to encounter something horrible or worse to do something they'd never imagined themselves capable of doing there's something deep in this forest capable of manipulating even the strongest willed individuals it draws you in corrupts and distorts your thoughts obsessions insecurities it can't be stopped it's pull too enticing people keep coming a hundred years here and i still don't know what this place is what any of it means all i know is i'm tired and i'm giving in i'm allowing my feet to follow that pull i know i'm getting closer as a feeling of madness starts to boil my brains the trees are so massive now that i can't trace the trunks to their tops they seem to go on forever what i initially assume is a pinecone tumbles from high above when it lands with a squelch i find that it's a human heart still beating a squirrel with goats eyes emerges to feast on the organ i stumble upon a clearing and follow the ground as it slopes downward to reveal a massive hollowed-out tree stump its gnarled roots extend far into the distance coated in patches of blackened moss i'm nearing the heart of evergreen's edge dread overwhelms me as i trudge closer but dread is more appealing to me now than the never-ending drudgery peering over the stump i see nothing but inky blackness a void dingy green mist rolls up and over its edges if there's a way out of here this must be it i don't know where it leads but i'm going to find out it has to be better than this this is ranger cecil signing off when i wake all i feel is pain a splitting agony in my arm a relentless throbbing in my skull a dull ache in my ankle i'm troubled to find that i'm not at home in bed safe in my husband's arms troubled to find that i don't know where i am at all the sun searing my eyes clearly shows me that i'm outside but where the ground beneath me is uneven and rough jutting into my back in several places as my eyes adjust i see that i'm in a clearing in some forest and i'm alone not only that but i'm hurt and badly i risk a glimpse down at my left arm only to find it broken utterly mangled i'm horrified by the sight of it the bones of my forearm have snapped into a gruesome compound fracture my anxiety escalates giving way to abject terror i know that i'll likely die if i don't find a way out soon i'm sure there are predators here and i'm easy prey i hoist my upper body up with my right arm to sit wincing as i reposition my injured arm luckily my ankle isn't in his bad or worse shape it's twisted but i should be able to walk slowly laboriously i use my good hand on a boulder as leverage to lift myself off the ground shifting my weight onto my relatively intact leg already i'm exhausted needing a break my heart sinks i'll never get out of here like this an abrupt sound stirs me out of hopelessness it's a man's voice not just any man's voice my husband's voice and he's calling my name lather he calls from far above and i can hear that he's winded he must have been searching high and low for me lather i'm here i track the sound of his voice up the side of a cliff beside me a vague understanding begins to form in my mind a hazy memory of a sudden plummet down the shelf of rock eli honey i'm down here i shouted i hear my husband shuffle onto the cliff something in the way he moves sounds different slower more deliberate as he peers over the edge down at me i understand why gone is the strong agile eli i know replaced by a man with silver white hair and deep set wrinkles still i can't deny that it's him i just know it is eli help i yell but he provides no response instead he silently catches his breath appears to think deeply for several minutes until finally he speaks letha i i know i didn't do right by you he shouts tone wavering i wasn't faithful to you i let my eye wander until i found someone new i should have just appreciated you while you were mine while you were still here what's going on eli please i don't understand he draws in a shaking breath my new wife used me spent every dollar i ever made let me dry i'm left with nothing he wails sniffling crying and to think i i pushed you let you fall to your death here for her my blood runs cold as i recall his betrayal that forced me down to the ground harsh and unyielding i can hear eli retreating now leaving me here to languish again just as he did however many years ago i'm startled to hear rapid footballs coming down hard upon the overhang a running stop or my husband launches himself off the precipice he crashes down just yards from me dying on impact eventually he wakes disoriented and confused lying supine on that boulder i'm standing over him his face is so brutalized that he's barely recognizable but i think he would have smiled if he could lather he sputters mouth dribbling blood what's happened you had a fall honey i reply tightening my grip on the sharpened rock in my hand hours later he's out cold again i'll continue exacting my revenge later but for now i must stay awake i'm starting to get tired but i can't lay down to rest i can't forget again the route has been long and complicated but i'm finally here part of me didn't believe it until i passed the sign for evergreens edge national park i've been searching for this place for longer than i'd like to admit despite once being recognized as a national park its status was pulled within months of opening now it's near impossible to find any information on its location even still dedicated lovers of the outdoors seek the park out to add to their experiences hiking backpacking or climbing i've hiked every national park in the country and i intend to hike evergreen edge i've scoured countless forums over the past year made several bunk trips but i finally found it and i'm finally here i pulled down the gravel road to check in with the park ranger there's no entry fee today he says straightening the brim of his tan hat but i will have to warn you beware of the predators i chuckle in return no need to worry about me sir i know how to conduct myself around big cats or bears he just nods and offers a smile before lifting the bar to allow my vehicle to pass through i park my truck and gather my supplies before locating the trailhead that'll take me to the edge i enter the towering forest buzzing with excitement immediately i'm surrounded on either side by densely packed pine trees taller than i've ever seen older than i can possibly fathom they call it evergreen's edge because there's a huge drop-off at the trail's peak one where you can see for miles apparently the first leg of the trek is all uphill but i'm in good shape from years of outdoor experience i'm only several minutes into the hike when it starts to get dark it's normal to expect shade in such a thick forest but this isn't shade the sun is starting to dip low behind the trees i'm confused because i arrived in late morning according to my watch it's about noon the sun should be blaring down high in the sky i'm confused but i've resolved to make the hike and now that i'm here i am not going to turn back i am an experienced hiker i'll be fine i tell myself and continue on the path the natural light continues to dim almost like some premature dusk until i hear the soft crunch of a leaf underfoot somewhere behind me off the trail i start humming to myself it's probably a mountain lion and i've dealt with them before noises can startle them off snap a twig breaks still behind me closer my breaths come rapid and shallow i realize that i'm walking faster that i'm humming louder to ward off the cat crack another twig just feet behind me so loud that it sounds almost intentional but it can't be it's not possible it's close enough now that i know i'll have to confront the predator the trees behind me start to stir as i lob my backpack onto the ground rip the back of my jacket up behind my head and yell something emerges from the wall of green but it's not a mountain lion it's a man or at least i assume so his face is concealed by a plastic cat mask he's dressed in dark clothing and he's holding a machete in one hand he his head to one side in response to my stance my shout i'm frozen in place as the figure approaches the park ranger from the entry comes up on the trail i call out for help he just pauses for an agonizingly long moment then turns to continue back down the way he came the look on his face says it all he tried to warn me about the predators in the forest he just didn't tell me what kind of predator i should watch out for thanks for watching you can watch a similar video
