The Path of Mike
Mike Miller left the school on his way home, went with his friends and his dog and decided to go for a walk in the woods. Walking in the woods his friends played a joke on him and left him minutes later and that was the last time they saw Mike. His family reported him as missing, the dog never returned to mike's house and a few days later Mike was found where the tree is, dead. Somebody killed him and left his body in that place. This made his friends feel guilty and they never walked in that place.
Years later, a similar event occurs with Dilan, another boy who disappears in the same forest, but his body never appeared again. This fact is related to mike's since many people claim to have seen their silhouette in the forest. Today, through the forest only sounds like tears and blows are heard and some people hear the barking of a dog but never find one. Everybody believe that the soul of mike can not rest in peace and walks on the paths of the forest.
