Haunted Forests

Write a spooky or mysterious story set in a forest as the trees begin to lose the last of their leaves.

Forests can provide fantastic backdrops for thrilling tales, more so in the fading autumn as they take on a more sinister or mysterious aspect. Think about the effect of a forest stripped bare of its foliage, the rustling of crisp leaves and the strange shadows that begin to loom. Utilize these eerie elements to craft a chilling narrative, allowing the season’s transformation to influence your story’s atmosphere and tension.
