Everyone avoided the lonely highway that cut through Blackwood Forest. Drivers claimed that after midnight, a strange echo called their names from the roadside. Most never stopped. Those who did were never quite the same again.
One rainy night, Ethan was driving home when he heard a woman's voice whisper, "Help me..."
Thinking someone was injured, he pulled over. The road was empty, but the voice continued, echoing through the trees.
As Ethan searched with his flashlight, he noticed muddy footprints appearing in front of him—yet no one was making them.
Suddenly, a ghostly woman dressed in torn white clothes emerged from the darkness. Her eyes were hollow, and her feet never touched the ground.
She pointed toward a rusted car hidden beneath thick bushes.
Inside, Ethan found an old newspaper describing a fatal accident that had happened there years ago. The woman had died waiting for help that never came.
A cold breeze swept across the road. The ghost smiled sadly before fading into the mist.
Relieved, Ethan drove away.
When he checked his rearview mirror, the roadside was empty.
Then the whisper returned from the back seat.
"Thank you... but I'm still here."
