There is something in the woods...
I first saw it when I was eight years old - a shadowy, amorphous shape that spoke in bursts of static. It had moss for skin and eyes that shone a bright orange in the darkness of that September evening. For as long as I could remember, Bellwoods had always been a strange place. This town holds secrets, most adults would say to deter my curiosity.
1. Do not wander into the forest
2. Never look the creature in the eyes
3. DO NOT WANDER INTO THE FOREST
These are things all children in Bellwoods know, but It never stopped me from staring into the shadows, or skulking along the fringes of the forest in hopes of catching a glimpse of the creature in the woods. There were mysteries in Bellwoods - shapes in the white woods, missing children, voices in people's heads. There were mysteries and I wanted to solve them all.
I'll be documenting my encounters with the creature in this blog. I hope to find some answers, and should anything happen to me, this will serve as a record of my findings - of proof. I feel like I'm getting close. I'm seeing it more these days.
This sleepy, idyllic town is not what it appears to be. Don't let it fool you.
