In 1885 a young gentleman was walking in the woods, he had heard legends of strange apparitions, witches and dark forces there but he was not a believer and paid it no mind. It was getting late and he needed to get home quickly so he took a shortcut through the wood. He suddenly found himself lost and every way he walked seemed to take him deeper into the wood. Cold, alone and scared he became more and more desperate to escape the dark and strange wood.
However, he never did escape. His mutilated body was found dumped in a nearby pond. When they found him it looked like someone, or something, had torn him apart. How do we know he was in the wood? Well, the story goes that someone else was lurking in the woods, tracking down something supernatural. Dressed in black and calling himself The Witness, he told the police just what he had saw. The story goes that what he saw that night was so horrific that after he told the police he went insane almost instantly. The Witness was locked away in a London mental hospital and many people blamed him for the murder but he always denied it. We may never know what happened that night or indeed if this story is true. However, one thing for certain is that there were many strange stories about that wood.
In 2011 a paranormal investigator was called in to investigate this old wood as the stories had survived for so many centeries. He spent a year researching and spending time in the wood. In January 2012 he went missing and was never seen again.
Do you Believe?
