Four friends, Jake, Sarah, Michael, and Emily decided to go on a weekend camping trip in the mountains. They packed their bags, brought their camping gear and hit the road. After driving for a few hours, they arrived at their destination, a secluded area with a beautiful view of the mountains.

The Discovery

The group set up their tents and started a campfire. As the night grew darker, they heard strange noises in the woods, but they brushed it off as just animals.

The next day, they decided to explore the area and went on a hike. As they were walking, they stumbled upon an old cabin. The cabin was run-down, and the windows were boarded up. Sarah suggested that they go inside and take a look, but the rest of the group was hesitant.

Emily felt something was off about the cabin, but Sarah convinced her that it would be an adventure. Reluctantly, the group entered the cabin.

Strange Things Happening

As they explored the cabin, they noticed that there were strange markings on the walls. The group could not make sense of the markings and wondered what they meant. Suddenly, they heard a loud bang, and the door slammed shut. Panic set in as the group tried to open the door, but it would not budge.

As they looked for a way out, they heard strange noises coming from upstairs. The group slowly made their way to the staircase, but the stairs creaked with every step.

As they reached the top of the stairs, they saw that the door to one of the rooms was slightly ajar. The group entered the room and was horrified by what they saw.

Trapped

The room was dark, and the air was thick with an unpleasant smell. The group saw strange symbols on the walls and a pile of bones in the corner. Michael turned on his flashlight and saw a figure in the shadows. As the figure moved, the group realized that it was a person wearing a strange mask.

Suddenly, the door behind them slammed shut, trapping them in the room with the figure. Panic set in as the figure slowly approached them. Emily screamed, and the figure lunged at them.

The group managed to fight off the figure and ran out of the room. As they made their way downstairs, they heard the figure laughing maniacally.

The Escape

The group was trapped in the cabin, and their only hope was to find another way out. They searched the cabin and found a small window in the basement. The window was too small for them to fit through, but they decided to try anyway. With all their strength, they managed to push the window open and crawl through. As they crawled out, they saw the figure standing outside the window, watching them. The group ran as fast as they could, not looking back until they reached their campsite.

Conclusion:

The group realized that they had stumbled upon a cursed cabin, and they were lucky to have escaped. They packed up their gear and left the area, never to return again. The experience left them traumatized, and they could not shake off the feeling that they were being watched. They warned others about the cabin and the danger it posed. The abandoned cabin remained a mystery, and no one dared to enter its doors again.
