    About this ebook

    A short ghost story

    Driving back late one night, a weary driver experiences something inexplicably supernatural when he finds himself unavoidably lost and stops to consult an old wooden signpost.

    A mysterious figure within the foggy woods watches on with an unearthly presence, pleading the question: is he friend or is he foe...?

    Is the local folklore to be his only logical explanation for this spectral apparition?
