The Whispering Woods

Olivia, Lucas, and Emma were best friends who loved going on adventures together. One sunny day, they decided to go camping in the Whispering Woods, a dense forest rumored to be haunted by vengeful spirits who communicate through eerie whispers. As they set up their tents, they noticed the trees swaying, whispering secrets in the wind.
