The Legend of Ol' Lester
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years; but one night, a candle burned in the window. Through the dirty, broken glass, the flame shown too bright to ignore. Calista shut her eyes tight trying to do just that. Maybe if she pretended not to see it, she’d be safe.

The Cabin
THE CABIN The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window.

Carter's Crypt
"The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window." The camera recording the speaker panned over to the secluded cabin. The building was old. Shingles were missing, logs were covered in vines, and cobwebs hung in the corners like streamers.

An Atrocity of Oddities
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. It didn’t burn for long. Witnesses, and there were not many save for a few errant teenagers testing their boundaries in the forest that night, claim that the candle flickered for only a minute before being snuffed out. One girl claimed she saw a pair of thin, cracking lips beside it, blowing the flame out.
