Terrifying Car Tales | Horror Story
The small village of Ravencroft lay nestled among rolling hills and dense forests, a peaceful place where life moved at a languid pace. It was a place where everyone knew each other, and news spread quickly. So, when the post-mortem report of an unexpected death in the nearby city brought an ambulance to the village, it stirred the otherwise tranquil community.
The body belonged to a man named Thomas Merrick, a former resident of Ravencroft who had left for the city years ago. He was found dead under mysterious circumstances, his body requiring a thorough examination before being returned to his place of birth for burial. As per the village custom, the dead were always brought back to their roots. The post-mortem had revealed nothing conclusive, and Thomas's death remained an enigma.
The journey back to Ravencroft was uneventful until the ambulance crossed into the village boundaries. As the vehicle passed the old oak tree that marked the village's entrance, an eerie chill settled in the air. The ambulance driver, a seasoned man named John, felt a shiver run down his spine. He glanced at his partner, who seemed equally unsettled.
"Did you feel that?" John asked, trying to shake off the uneasy feeling.
His partner, Alex, nodded, his eyes darting around nervously. "Yeah, it’s like the temperature just dropped. Let's get this over with."
They drove through the winding streets, the familiar houses of Ravencroft looking oddly sinister under the pale moonlight. They finally reached the village church, where the local undertaker, Mr. Harris, awaited them. The body was transferred to the morgue, and the villagers slowly dispersed, whispering among themselves about the odd atmosphere that had accompanied the ambulance.
