You know how when you're camping, and you shine your flashlight into the woods, and it makes the trees look like skeletal fingers reaching out to grab you?82Please respect copyright.PENANAwLlGKlaNGr
Well, there's a legend about a flashlight that does more than just cast spooky shadows.
They say that if you shine this particular flashlight into the darkness, it'll summon something.
At first, it's just a faint rustling in the underbrush.
Then, twigs start snapping, and leaves crunch beneath footsteps.
But here's the thing: when you turn off the flashlight, the footsteps stop.
And when you turn it back on, they start again.
It's as if whatever is out there is drawn to the light.

One stormy night, a group of friends decided to test the legend.
They shone the flashlight into the woods, and at first, nothing happened.
But then, the rustling started.
The snapping grew louder.
And then, a figure emerged from the darkness.
Its face was twisted, its eyes glowing with an otherworldly light.
The friends tried to run, but their feet felt heavy, as if rooted to the spot.
The figure began to whisper, its voice like a cold breeze in their ears.
"Shine the light, and I'll come for you."
One by one, the friends disappeared into the darkness, never to be seen again.
The last one standing realized that the flashlight was still clutched in their hand.
With a surge of adrenaline, they turned it off.
The footsteps stopped.
But as they turned to run, they heard the whisper one last time:
"The darkness is always hungry."
And when they stumbled back to camp, the flashlight was gone.
But the legend says that on certain nights, when the moon is hidden, and the wind is just right, you can still hear the whisper:
"Shine the light, and I'll come for you."
So, the next time you're camping, and you shine your flashlight into the woods, remember:
You might just summon something that's been waiting in the darkness all along.
