00:00Welcome, before we begin.
00:02Turn off the lights.
00:04Lock your door.
00:06And don't watch this alone.
00:08Because tonight, this story is not just horror.
00:12It's something darker, the black forest.
00:15Has always been known.
00:17For it's silence.
00:19Not the peaceful kind.
00:21The kind that feels like something is listening.
00:25Five friends entered that forest.
00:27Just before midnight.
00:30Lucas.
00:31Myra.
00:32Daniel.
00:34Stefan.
00:35And Elise.
00:37They weren't there to hike.
00:39They weren't there to explore.
00:41They came.
00:42For something else.
00:44A ritual.
00:46They found it online.
00:48Buried deep.
00:49In a forum that most people would never visit.
00:52It didn't have a name.
00:54Just instructions.
00:56Draw the symbol.
00:58Stand in a circle.
01:00Speak the words.
01:02And never.
01:03Break the circle.
01:05It's probably fake, Daniel said.
01:08But he still showed up.
01:10They all did.
01:12Because deep down.
01:13Everyone wanted to believe.
01:16Something would happen.
01:18Something real.
01:19They reached a clearing.
01:21Surrounded by trees.
01:23So tall.
01:24They blocked the sky.
01:27No wind.
01:28No sound.
01:30Not even insects.
01:32That should have been the first warning.
01:34But they ignored it.
01:36Lucas pulled out a small camera.
01:38Let's record this, he said.
01:41If something happens, we'll have proof.
01:44Myra laughed.
01:46Or we'll just look stupid.
01:48They started drawing the symbol.
01:50A circle.
01:51With lines crossing through it.
01:54Shapes that didn't make sense.
01:56But felt wrong.
01:58Elise hesitated.
02:00Maybe we should.
02:02But Stefan interrupted.
02:04We came all this way.
02:06Let's just do it.
02:08They stood in a circle.
02:10Hands almost touching.
02:12The air felt heavier.
02:14Harder to breathe.
02:16Lucas read the words.
02:18Slowly.
02:19Carefully.
02:21The language.
02:23Wasn't familiar.
02:24But as he spoke.
02:26Something changed.
02:28The temperature dropped.
02:30Their breath.
02:31Became visible.
02:33Myra stopped smiling.
02:35Daniel looked around.
02:37Do you hear that?
02:39Hear what?
02:40Exactly.
02:42Silence.
02:44Total silence.
02:45Lucas continued reading.
02:48The final words.
02:49Echoed.
02:51Even after he stopped speaking.
02:53That was the second warning.
02:56Then.
02:57Something stepped.
02:59Just outside the circle.
03:01They didn't see it.
03:02But they all.
03:04Felt it.
03:06Watching.
03:07Waiting.
03:08Elise whispered.
03:10Don't move.
03:12Lucas slowly turned his head.
03:14And that's when he saw it.
03:17A figure.
03:18Too tall.
03:20Too thin.
03:21Standing between the trees.
03:23Its face.
03:25Had no features.
03:27Just.
03:28A shape.
03:29And then.
03:31It moved.
03:32One step closer.
03:34Still outside the circle.
03:36But watching.
03:38Waiting.
03:39For someone.
03:41To break it.
03:42No one moved.
03:43Not at first.
03:45The figure stood there.
03:47Just beyond the circle.
03:49Watching.
03:51Waiting.
03:53Lucas whispered.
03:54Don't break the circle.
03:56His voice.
03:58Didn't sound like his own anymore.
04:00It sounded.
04:01Thinner.
04:02Like something was.
04:04Pulling it.
04:06Myra's breathing became faster.
04:08We should stop this.
04:10Daniel shook his head.
04:12It's just someone messing with us.
04:15But he didn't step closer.
04:17He didn't move at all.
04:19Because deep down.
04:21He knew.
04:22That thing.
04:24Wasn't human.
04:25The air grew colder.
04:27The ground beneath them.
04:29Felt softer.
04:31Like something underneath.
04:33Was breathing.
04:35Elise closed her eyes.
04:37We need to end this.
04:38Now.
04:39Lucas looked at the paper.
04:41There was no ending written.
04:44Only instructions.
04:45To begin.
04:47That's when.
04:49The figure moved again.
04:51One step closer.
04:53Still outside the circle.
04:55But closer.
04:56And then.
04:58It tilted its head.
05:00Slowly.
05:01As if.
05:02It was curious.
05:04About them.
05:06About what they were.
05:08Myra couldn't take it anymore.
05:10I'm leaving.
05:11She stepped back.
05:13Her foot.
05:15Touched the edge of the symbol.
05:17Lucas shouted.
05:19Don't.
05:20Too late.
05:21The circle broke.
05:23And in that exact moment.
05:25The figure disappeared.
05:28Not slowly.
05:29Not fatting.
05:31Just gone.
05:33Silence returned.
05:34But it wasn't the same silence.
05:37It felt closer.
05:39Daniel laughed nervously.
05:41See.
05:42Nothing happened.
05:43But his voice.
05:45Cracked.
05:46Because something did happen.
05:49They just didn't see it.
05:51Lucas grabbed the camera.
05:53Let's go now.
05:55No one argued.
05:57They left the clearing.
05:59Fast.
06:00Too fast.
06:02Branches snapped under their feet.
06:04Leaves moved.
06:06Even where no one stepped.
06:08Elise stopped.
06:10Wait.
06:10Do you hear that?
06:13They all stopped.
06:14And then they heard it.
06:17Footsteps.
06:18Not theirs.
06:20Following them.
06:21Slow.
06:23Precise.
06:24Always.
06:26One step behind.
06:27They ran.
06:29No more talking.
06:31No more looking back.
06:33Just running.
06:34Until they reached the road.
06:36And the moment they stepped out.
06:38The sound stopped.
06:40Completely.
06:42It's over, Daniel said.
06:44But no one answered.
06:46Because deep down.
06:48They all felt it.
06:50It wasn't over.
06:52It had just.
06:53Begun the next morning.
06:56Everything looked normal.
06:58Sunlight.
06:59Noise.
07:01Life.
07:02Life.
07:02But something had changed.
07:04Lucas noticed at first.
07:06The footage.
07:08He sat in his room.
07:10Replaying the recording.
07:12Over.
07:13And over.
07:14At first.
07:16Everything looked the same.
07:18The circle.
07:20The forest.
07:21The figure in the distance.
07:23But then.
07:25Something didn't match.
07:27When Myra stepped out.
07:29The figure didn't disappear.
07:31It moved.
07:33Vast.
07:34Vast.
07:34Toward them.
07:35Toward the camera.
07:37And then.
07:38The footage cut.
07:40Lucas froze.
07:42Because he didn't remember that.
07:44None of them did.
07:46That night.
07:48Myra called him.
07:49Whispering.
07:51It's in my house.
07:53Silence.
07:54Then.
07:56The call ended.
07:57Lucas tried calling back.
07:59No answer.
08:01The next day.
08:02She was gone.
08:04No signs of struggle.
08:07No explanation.
08:09Then Elise.
08:10Same thing.
08:12A message.
08:13Something is watching me.
08:15Then nothing.
08:17Daniel lasted longer.
08:19But he changed.
08:21He stopped sleeping.
08:23Stopped talking.
08:25And one night.
08:26He sent a video.
08:28Lucas opened it.
08:30Daniel was sitting.
08:32Starring at the camera.
08:34Smiling.
08:35But behind him.
08:37Something stood.
08:39Tall.
08:40Still.
08:41Watching.
08:43The same thing.
08:45From the forest.
08:46Lucas dropped his phone.
08:49Because this time.
08:50It wasn't just in the video.
08:53It was behind him.
08:55He didn't turn around.
08:57He already knew.
08:59The ritual.
09:00Wasn't about summoning something.
09:02It was about opening.
09:05A door.
09:06And they.
09:07Never closed it.
09:09The last thing recorded.
09:11On Lucas's camera.
09:13Was not a scream.
09:15Not a struggle.
09:17Just.
09:18Silence.
09:20And something.
09:21Slowly stepping closer.
09:23Until it filled the frame.
09:26And then.
09:27It looked.
09:29Directly.
09:30At you so now.
09:32You know the story.
09:34The ritual.
09:35The forest.
09:37What came back.
09:38But here's the question.
09:40Did they bring it home?
09:42Or.
09:43Did you just let it in?
09:45The end.
09:46Our horror story for tonight.
09:48Concludes here.
09:49We'll meet again.
09:49In the next horror story.
09:51Be honest.
09:52Would you try that ritual?
09:54And if something followed you home.
09:56Would you even notice?
09:58Drop your answer.
10:00In the comments.
10:00Good night.
