00:00Did you know there's an old ghost story in English folklore about... about a boy with an axe?
00:07They say he still lives inside an old tree deep in the forest, waiting for someone to find him.
00:14And this isn't just a story. A boy named Elliot swears he saw him.
00:19Elliot went hiking alone in Ashgrove woods. It was quiet. Too quiet.
00:25Suddenly he heard this creepy music box sound coming from the trees.
00:30So he followed it. That's when he saw the boy.
00:33He was standing under this huge dead tree.
00:37He wore old clothes, had a cracked wooden mask, and he was holding a lantern that glowed green.
00:44His axe was dragging on the ground behind him.
00:47He didn't move. He didn't talk until Elliot tried to step back.
00:52The tree needs friends. It gets lonely.
00:56Suddenly, Elliot felt roots grab his legs.
01:01He couldn't run. He couldn't even scream.
01:04The boy raised his axe, but before it hit, everything went black.
01:11When Elliot woke up, he was lying near the road.
01:15No wounds, no blood.
01:18But the tree next to him had something carved into the bark.
01:22His name and dozens of old, dirty children's shoes inside the hollow bark.
