Grandma never let me go to that forest. 'Honey. You must never go to that forest. The forest might take you.' she said... Grandma said it several times.

Even though it was so dark that I couldn't see well, I walked as if fear was paralyzed the whole time I was entering the forest. It was only when I came into the middle of the forest that I felt like I was released from a trance, and then I got goosebumps all over my body.
