Day 10: October - Scary

My own prompt is proving difficult, but it’s still so much fun, so I guess it’s not that bad. 😅 I didn’t know how to depict a month as scary, but one of my favorite things to do during the fall is to take more walks, especially in the woods, so I decided to draw a spooky forest, kinda like the nature preserves I love to walk in. But now it’s a bit less lonely. 😌

The Whispering Trees Shaina Tranquilino September 2, 2024

In the small town of Willowbrook, nestled between rolling hills and a thick, ancient forest, the trees had stood for centuries, their twisted roots and gnarled branches a testament to the passage of time. The townspeople regarded the forest with a mix of reverence and fear, for strange things had always been said about the woods—strange and unsettling things.

It began on a warm summer night when young Tara, a curious and adventurous girl of ten, first heard the whispers. The sound was faint, almost imperceptible, like the rustling of leaves in a gentle breeze. But as she lay in bed, the sound grew louder, filling her room with a soft, eerie chorus. She sat up, her heart pounding, and strained to listen. It was coming from the forest.

The next morning, Tara couldn’t shake the feeling that something was calling to her. She tried to ask her parents about the whispers, but they dismissed it as just the wind playing tricks on her. Yet, Tara knew better. She had heard words in the whispers, though she couldn’t quite understand them. They were soft, pleading, as if the trees themselves were trying to tell her something.

Determined to uncover the truth, Tara decided to venture into the forest that night. She waited until her parents were asleep, then slipped out of bed, grabbed her flashlight, and tiptoed out of the house. The moon was full, casting long shadows across the fields as she made her way to the edge of the woods.

The forest loomed before her, dark and silent, the trees like towering sentinels guarding secrets long forgotten. Tara hesitated, but the whispers were louder now, urging her forward. She took a deep breath and stepped into the woods.

As she walked deeper into the forest, the whispers grew clearer, forming words she could finally understand.

"Help us," they seemed to say. "Find us."

The voices guided her through the tangled underbrush until she reached a small clearing. In the centre stood an enormous oak tree, its bark worn and weathered, its branches stretching out like skeletal arms. The whispers were coming from the tree.

Tara approached the oak, her heart racing. She could feel the air around her grow colder, the whispers more insistent. She knelt by the tree and noticed something odd about the ground at its base. The soil looked disturbed, as if someone had recently dug there.

Feeling scared and anxious, Tara began to dig. The earth was soft, almost as if it wanted to be moved. After a few moments, her fingers brushed against something hard and cold. She pulled it out and gasped—a small, rusted tin box lay in her hands.

Tara opened the box, revealing a bundle of old letters. As she unfolded one, she realized it was a confession, written in shaky handwriting. The letter spoke of a terrible crime—a murder that had been covered up, the victim buried beneath the oak tree. The whispers, she understood now, were the voices of the dead, crying out for justice.

Tara ran back to town, the box clutched tightly in her hands. She told the authorities what she had found, and soon, the entire town was buzzing with the news. An investigation was launched, and the truth of the long-forgotten crime was finally brought to light. The remains were exhumed, and the perpetrator, an elderly man who had long been considered an upstanding citizen, was arrested.

The whispers in the forest ceased after that night. The trees stood silent once more, their secrets laid to rest. But Tara would never forget the voices that had guided her, nor the feeling that she had been chosen to bring justice to the forgotten.

In Willowbrook, the legend of the whispering trees would be told for generations—a tale of a curious child, a haunted forest, and the truth that can never stay buried forever.

💀🌲 "The Haunting Gaze: Forest Snatcher's Dark Secret" 🌳👁️

🌳🌙 In the heart of the chilling forest, a sinister soul snatcher of dread awaits, its haunting gaze ensnaring all who venture near. Its tentacles, an otherworldly shade of purple, weave through gnarled tree trunks and intertwine with twisted branches, capturing the very essence of the forest and its unsuspecting visitors.

🌌🦑 The woods themselves appear cursed, cloaked in eternal darkness, bearing silent witness to this malevolent presence. Branches writhe and recoil in fear, while the air thickens with the palpable stench of impending doom. The moon's pale light casts eerie shadows across the scene, intensifying the sense of foreboding.

👁️👁️ The soul snatcher, with its two colossal, unblinking eyes and a void for a nose or mouth, exudes an unearthly terror. Its gaze, piercing to the soul, possesses the power to paralyze even the bravest of hearts.

🌲👣 Whispers in the forest speak of eerie sightings and bone-chilling encounters with this enigmatic entity. Lone trail walkers recount feeling a malevolent presence lurking just beyond their vision, its tentacles caressing their skin with a cold touch of terror.

💭🌲 What secrets does the soul snatcher guard with its ominous gaze? What compels it to prey on those who dare to wander alone through the haunted woods? Is there a deeper purpose behind its malevolence, or does it exist solely as a harbinger of nightmares in the cursed depths of the forest?

been getting obsessed with Neopet cards again...probably because I’m an adult now and can actually buy the things I want.

Decided to have a little fun with this coloring page from neopets.com.

I was going to draw something else, but this ended up happening on the page. . "Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? is graffiti which first appeared in 1944 following the 1943 discovery of the skeletonised remains of a woman by four children inside a wych elm in Hagley Wood, Hagley, in Worcestershire, England. The victim—whose murder is approximated to have occurred in 1941—remains unidentified, and the current location of her skeleton and autopsy report is unknown." - Wikipedia . Thank you to @peachycinnamon for exposing me to this pretty fascinating story. . #whoputbellainthewychelm #sketchbook #wychelm #hauntedwoods #hauntedtree #ghoststory #mystery #folklore #wych #murdermystery #darkartist #treewitch https://www.instagram.com/p/BtZrvucld5P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hz44qkd65rcm

Legend says there is a woman who haunts that area in search of the souls of young children. Be cautious, walk fast, cover your ears and whatever you do........do not let her get close to you. This story is based on a nightmare that I had.
