"Once upon a time, in a quiet forest we now call The Hollows, a woman slaughtered both her parents and her husband. People say she was insane, but others think differently. Others believe a demon we call Malutiny battled her soul and won. Because he won, he got to keep the woman's body. Instead of burying it or using it for other purposes, he took it over and did horrendous acts. Most acts are not to be said because they were that amoral and my boss said I couldn't say them. Anyway, getting back to the story, he had tortured her parents and husband for years up until Malutiny got tired of them. He put them in the wooden home's basement and left them there. Do not go in the forest, for the legend says that if you get near it, the woman will take you in her home and torture you to endless limits." Spirit-Knowing Sammie lectured, "The forest is called The Hollows because of the woman's cold, hollow heart." The bus started moving again, " On to our next attraction!"
"Hank, we have to go in there!" Finn whisper-shouted. "No, Finn," Malorie looked at Finn, "You heard what the guy said about that forest."
