Anna, a frightened young woman, wanders through the dark forests of the Appalachians, unaware that the monster she has been told about is watching in the shadows, silent and unknown.

Anna's parents were good farmers who had raised her with love, but who had warned her about the dangers of the forest. Their worried faces still haunted her thoughts as she wandered, lost among the whispering trees.

Anna trembled as the forest whispered around her, lost and frightened, unaware that the so-called monster was silently watching her from the shadows.

The old villager, bent with age, looks at Anna with troubled eyes and murmurs in a broken voice: "Run, child... The forest hides an evil far greater than the darkness."
