because of the strange things that have been happening in the woods recently. He
ignores them and walks through anyway, whilst walking through strange things begin
to happen. He begins to hear screaming, shouting and faintly hears people talking. He
begins to hear faint footsteps which get louder and faster and then he sees a silhouette
of a person sprint through the woods in front of him leading him to panic and
sprinting out of the woods. When he gets home he rings the two he was out with and
tells them what had happened whilst walking through the woods they then decide that
the next day they are going to go into the woods and see if anything happens or find
out what it was. The next day “Teen 1” continuously rings his friends to make sure it
is still happening and then checking he has everything he needs, then deciding he is
going to record it all whilst they are there. He meets his bestfriend “teen 2” and then

“Teen 1” leading to him kicking off and arguing with “teen 3” about why he is there

with what they’re supposed to be doing. They cut through the fence and begin to walk
across the field, they are all having a joke and winding each other up when they hear a
scream. They all go silent and look around until “teen 2” sees someone turn and walk
into the woods, assuming it was the person that screamed they go after them. Once
they get into the woods they can no longer see the person so they begin to start
looking around, whilst they are looking around they start hearing screaming, shouting,
footsteps, they think they can see people and feel things until someone screams
claiming that someone grabbed him. This causes and argument and forces “teen 4” to
storm off and “teen 3” chasing him. They carry on as normal until they hear a scream

deep breathing then a menacing laugh and a voice says “you’re next” they hear the

one direction and hope to find a way out when they discover two bodies with “teen

thinking they have killed him, they see the exit and as they walk out the murdered

the knife away with the bat and then attacking him and finally killing him. He runs to
