     Long ago a witch who hated humans created a spell that would curse her woods: "The ghost stories  people tell in these woods will come true and the dangerous creatures would only disappear when the whole family is dead or if the family killed them." 

     *Explosion

     The spell created a great mass of power all throughout the woods. "The humans will die!" The witch said greedily. A sinister laugh thunders through the night. 

      *Days later*

      A small family came to the woods for the same reason everyone would: to camp for a weekend. That family roasted marshmallows and told ghost stories. They told about a blood-sucking vampire and an invisible murderer and a hungry beast that only ate human flesh.

     Instantly, all the creatures appeared on the witch's doorstep. "Kill the humans," the witch said to the beasts. The family ate their marshmallows and went to bed. The vampire went to the girl, the invisible murderer went to the parents, and the hungry beast went to the boy. 

     "Wakey wakey," the creatures say at once. The kids scream and the parents remain confused about who said that. Suddenly, they feel a knife on their throats and the invisible murderer slit their throats and blood gushes out of their necks. 

     The kids scream and run. The vampire grabs the girl and bites her neck and sucks her blood. The boy sees her dead body and cries. He runs faster. The flesh-eating beast follows the boy. The boy is almost out of the woods. He trips on a root. A person walking by sees the boy coming out of the bushes screaming out for help.  The stranger reaches out.

     They weren't fast enough, the beast grabs the boy's leg and drags him back. The person looks through the bushes and sees the boy being ripped to shreds, rivers, and streams of blood pouring all over. The person ran home to stay hidden from that beast. The unlucky family died. 

     For the past 256 years, many other unlucky people died in those woods. One family was able to write a sign that read: "Don't tell ghost stories." The witch saw that sign and removed the part that said: "Don't." 

     Will anyone be able to destroy the spell and save the lives of innocent people?
