"The Tower In The Woods" (Creepypasta)

when Dylan moved to Lakeview he was too young to remember where they lived prior not that it was anything special a two-bedroom apartments in Brooklyn New York the suburbs were a welcome change to the rest of his family Diane and Ron were his parents a stay-at-home mom and a police officer the money was okay enough to support the family with a few extra things here and there Lake View was a small town in upstate New York with a tight-knit community everyone knew everything surprisingly not many people knew about the tower in the woods the place where people really didn't go it was located off of dimly-lit River Road that ran parallel to a foul-smelling wetland every time someone drove down the road and they'd immediately smelled a musty dirty aroma that wafted from the woods needless to say people avoided the road and never even thought about the woods there was another Street on the other side of the forest then went the same way River Road was almost useless besides the fact that it ran straight into Dylan's house kids are a different story when Dylan turned nine the woods were his stomping ground building forts naming paths climbing trees skipping rocks through the swampy water the smell didn't bother him that gave him comfort it was just the smell of the woods to him he made a few friends in school although he wasn't the least bit popular the names were Allison and Carter Dylan would have them over after school to do homework and talk about a band they would start and be the most famous people the world had ever seen a few weeks in the fifth grade Dylan to Saturday should show his friends to the woods and he had kept the place all to himself before but as he grew closer to his friends he decided to reveal his safe haven to them one day while sitting in Dylan's room he said all right guys you know the woods up the road Allison and Carter looking quite confused noted there heads those woods no one goes in I've had the place all to myself for a while but I really want to show you guys the cool stuff in there at this point Dylan was very anxious to go out and show them the place only he had known all this time Allison and Carter looked at him for a moment before Allison said those would smell funny you go in there Dylan's smile deflated him he scowled and started putting on his shoes his friends followed suit he announced to his mother that they were going to the woods she gave them a smile from the living room on the phone and mouthed up be careful for the door closed behind them they trekked down to the opening of the woods where the smell hit like a brick wall Doan inhale deeply and let it a satisfied exhale he motioned for his friends to follow and he started in the familiar path he made they came upon the fort that he constructed a few months ago Dylan added a few sticks before proclaiming this is my castle Allison and Carter looked wide-eyed at the crooked structure of sticks Carter was the first one in from inside he yelled cool you brought out videotapes Dylan's proud smile faded when he saw Carter eggs at the fort with a VHS tape in hand Carter questioned why'd you bring this tape out here you can't even watch it or anything Dylan looked at the tape confused scratching his head and said I didn't bring that out here someone else must have found my fort with this realization Dylan M was disappointed there was a few moments of silence before I was broken by the excited voice of Allison maybe they built a for that they want us to find like a treasure hunt Carter nodded his head quickly in agreement and Dylan's smile began to return Dylan replied yeah there's one area across the swamp I've never gone to because I can't cross they agreed that their mission was to find a way across the water to meet this other wanderer of the woods they walked up and down the front of the water and furiously brainstorms maybe we can build a bridge Carter suggested Dylan replied no it would never work it's too far across Allison was about to add an idea when they heard a loud crack they turned to the source of the noise and saw a broken root cutting out of the ground snapped in half it was almost pointing to an area of the water that split into a series of creeks they walked over to it and could slightly make out a pre-existing structure it looked like a thin bridge that zigzagged its way across the creeks I'm an audible gasp of excitement emanated from Dylan as he happily started on the 4 inch bridge that way across the putrid muddy waters the bridge was broken in a few places which was cause for jumpin some creeks and maneuvering through thick thorn bushes after a solid 20 minutes they made it across in front of them stood a large stone tower surrounded in a flat concrete clearing covered by leaves the area was circular and surrounded by creeks almost like the moat to a castle sounds of excitement came from the group as they all jogged to the structure they came to the door and opened it right up without hesitation inside was a spiral staircase leading up there were lightbulbs coming out of the walls all the way up the stairs Dylan flipped a switch to the right of the front door to no avail regardless they climbed to the top of the tower where the staircase opens into a makeshift kitchen right in front of them were a few cabinets a microwave and a very large sink next to the sink we're tools that look like they belonged in a dentist's office and a few empty bottles of bleach confused they explored the kitchen opening cabinets and turning on the faucet Dylan look at the running water and asked his friends how do you think they got running water all the way up here his friends looked at him and shrugged they continued their inspection they came across a heavy steel door clad in padlocks and dead bolts all of which were unlocked the group agreed that the door felt almost hidden and that added a sense of adventure more excited than ever before now listen push the door open inside were tall bookshelves full of VHS tapes plain white slips with names and dates on them they were ordered alphabetically Dylan looked at some Alex 92 one read and Andrew 99 was written on another there was a tape missing before a tape labeled Brian 95 their excitement turned to confusion as they continued their search a small television sat in the corner with a dirty old notebook on top of it alison krauss to it and flipped through the pages she finally spoke it's just a whole bunch of names she turned the book around or show her friends Carter walked over to her and happily wrote his name below the rest and giggled satisfied they continued their search when Dylan came across a box full of old camera equipments and shared it with his friends looking just as confused as everyone else Carter looked at the VHS tape he'd been carrying since they left Dylan's fort the white slip was blank he pulled the tape out written in black marker was Brandon a 1 Carter's face turned beet red and he turned to Allison she covered her mouth gasped and whispered Brandon Dylan was looking quite confused when he asked whose cutter cut him off my brother went missing in 2001 he never came home from school they found this Carter got choked up then cleared his throat silence fell over the room Carter broke from his days walked to the television set turned it on and inserted the tape no one protested they knew they couldn't stop him from watching it Alison and Dylan worriedly looked at each other not knowing what to expect the tape started up and displayed a room with gray walls and an empty bed covered in white sheets when the brown stuffed bear in the center a young boy maybe eight or nine years old entered with a backpack on climbed on the bed and held the bear you could hear him say till I did leave you in the fort greatly the boy smiled to himself and looked around the kids watch the video confused as ever the boy looked into the camera was visibly confused when a loud slam came through the speakers and the boy was startled quick thumps like someone running were heard and a large man appeared on screen the boy looked horrified and his knuckles were white from squeezing the bear the man stood over the boy breathing heavily and caressed the side of his face the man climbed onto the bed and Dylan Carter and Allison all turned away I'm afraid they witness a man hurt the boy they ran into the room and came across another door it was painted white although the pain was chipped in peeling still scared and confused Carter opened the door they stood frozen as they saw a camera lying on the floor and a bed covered in white sheets with huge copper colored stains on it in the corner of the room the same bear from the video was lying on the floor Carter began to cry him they ran down the stairs and into the clearing they saw the road on the other side of the woods visible through the tree line they ran to warded us the son disappeared behind the horizon roots and branches seemed to reach for them as they ran away Allisyn jumped over a small creek and made her way up the hill through the trees to safety Dillon followed and stopped to wait for Carter who'd been hysterical since they ran out of the tower and was moving slower Carter jumped up when Dillon saw rout reach out and wrap around Carter's foot he fell and whimpered Dillon reached out and grabbed his friends hand and looked into his eyes full of terror and running with tears Dillon swore he saw Carter dragged away into the foliage he tried to run and help him when he heard a loud scream come from the tower through the speaker's of the television almost too scared to function Dillon ran up the hill and met his friend they're both crying and screaming for help until an elderly woman heard them the police investigation didn't take excessively long they went out in the woods and saw the tower apparently it was part of a sewage treatment plant that used to be down there abandoned in the mid-1980s the woods always had a putrid smell when the police found the tapes interviewed the footage the children in the tapes were all identified as missing children from around the country they never found Carter they searched the woods and found the bodies of all the children in the tapes lying at the bottom of the swamp no one ever questioned the putrid smell of the swamp they all just avoided a all the bodies of the children had been laying there some for over 20 years all the bodies but Brandon his body had been found years ago on a dumpster in the next town over only three days after being reported missing may never search the woods Dillon swore to the police that he saw the earth drag his friend away the police told his parents that a child's mind will do anything to recover from a trauma like the one Dillon endured the man in the tapes was identified as a man named Kenneth Brown it was found hanging in his apartment three years ago in his room full of stuffed animals if you made it this far I hope you'll follow me on Twitter at Kings spook creepy
