On Halloween Night

Deep in the forest, screams have been heard; of men, women, and children, screaming their lungs out in the misty, dense forest. A report was once given of a man who ran to the chieftain's house, his face filled with blood; eyes literally separated from the eye sockets! It is believed that vengeful ghosts roam around the forest, searching for a soul to be part of them; they can only do so by taking a life. "They have a very disturbing, dark sense of humor", a warrior says. "Sometimes they crucify a victim upside down on a tree, and send crows to feast on them. At Sunrise, you see what was once a human; bones with some remaining flesh, as blood oozes out!" After every five years on the night of the full moon, the villagers slaughter a bull and a dozen sheep to appease the forest spirits, that come with the mist.
