A Ravenwood Horror Story

The small town of Ravenwood was completely hidden by a dense fog during the dark and gloomy night. They wanted to stay indoors to avoid the strange silence on a night like this.

John, a quiet young guy who had just relocated to Ravenwood, he was an introverted. He was frequently alone himself, wandering the streets after dark and finding comfort in the silence. He was taking a stroll tonight when he observed something odd in the fog. There was a chill in the air, though he couldn't tell what it was. John kept moving forward while breathing heavily. He made an effort to keep his eyes on the road in front of him, but the fog kept catching his sight. He could sense someone or something observing him, which made him feel uneasy.

John finally thought he had gone too far and turned around. When he heard a sound coming from the fog, he had already begun heading home. His spine tingled at the sound of the low, evil laugh. John accelerated his motion, but the laughing followed him. In an effort to escape the source of the chuckle, he started to run. Without understanding where he was going or what he was running from, he ran aimlessly. John suddenly lost his balance and slid to the floor. In an effort to regain his breath, he laid there for a while. He noticed a figure in the mist when he raised his head.

It wore a lengthy black cloak and was tall and lean. John could feel its eyes on him despite the fact that its face was covered in the shadows.

With its laughing resonating throughout the night, the figure started to walk towards John. He jumped to his feet quickly and took off running. His ears picked up the laughter of the creature as it drew nearer.

When John at last arrived at his home, he slammed the door. He locked it swiftly before rushing to the living room window. He could see the guy standing in the mist from there. It appeared to be enjoying the game as it continued to giggle.

John waited by the window till daylight, keeping an eye on the figure. The figure vanished when the sun eventually emerged from the fog. While John exhaled a sigh of relief, he was still anxious. He had the impression that the figure in the mist was still present.

John had frequent dreams of the apparition in the fog for several weeks later. He would experience a coldness in the air and wake up in a cold sweat. He was aware that the person was still present, waiting and observing.

He heard the laughter again one night as he was strolling around the town. He hurriedly turned to look, but the figure was nowhere to be found. The laughing appeared to follow him as he continued to move forward.

Although John tried to flee, the laughter just got louder. After some time, he stopped in a wooded area. The guy in the fog was standing in the centre. The air was filled with its strange laughing as it moved closer to John.

John was immobile because of his terror. Prior to standing directly in front of him, the figure inched closer to him. Then it lifted its hood, revealing a ghostly, pallid face. As it raised its hand and aimed directly at John, its eyes shone with an evil pleasure.

As the apparition replied, "You will always be mine," in a low, scratchy voice, John felt his body grow chilly.

As quickly as he could, John returned to his home and shut the door. He never again ventured outside at night, and the figure in the fog's laughter was never heard by him. Nonetheless, he was aware that it was still present and waiting for him.
