The Ghost Photograph

A few years ago, a group of youngsters are said to have gone on an outing to the mountains. I am talking about Jonathan, an athletic and handsome man, his girlfriend Olivia an intelligent and gorgeous girl, and Jack an introvert and shameful teen.

Everything was going perfectly when suddenly they realized that they were lost in the middle of the grove.

They got very scared and started to spin nonstop without knowing what to do. They saw a woodcutter in the distance, and they came nearer to talk. The man told them that there was a town nearby called Lochley, and he could take them there.

Along the way, they talked about the woodcutter’s life. A married man with two children. His name was Harry. They gained a lot of confidence, and they decided to take a picture with Harry, even though he didn’t want to.

While entering the town with the car, they realized that the woodcutter was no longer there as he had disappeared. The group of frightened young people entered the first store they saw open and told the owners everything that had happened to them. A woodcutter named Harry had driven them there because they had gotten lost.

Pale as the owners were, they  told them that the man had died in an accident several years ago.

Immediately, the young people reviewed the photograph they had taken with the mobile and realized that Harry was not in the picture.
