The Half-Faced Man Behind the Trees

Check out our brand new show, ⁠Bedtime Horror Stories⁠ on ⁠Spotify⁠ and ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ – no sound effects, just relaxing rain sounds to help you relax and fall asleep.

Casey is just a kid when he hears a laughing man peering from behind a tree: half a face, one bloodshot eye, and a filthy finger silently calling him closer. His mother stops him before he reaches the tree, and the man vanishes. Then years later, that same maniacal laugh returns—this time luring his best friend into the woods. In a trance, his friend reluctantly follows the man into the trees.. and is never seen from again.
