Summer's Mask

from The Darkive — Scary Stories, Horror Fiction, and Creepypastas · host Craig Groshek

What begins as a carefree summer camping trip quickly takes a sinister turn when four friends discover a strange wooden box hidden deep within a silent forest clearing. Inside rests a smooth white mask—old, beautiful, and unsettling enough to make one member of the group beg the others not to touch it. But curiosity wins out, and the moment the mask is placed on someone’s face, something in the woods begins to change. As night falls over the campsite, the once-relaxing trip gives way to growing unease, strange behavior, and terrifying violence lurking just beyond the trees. By morning, three of the campers have vanished without a trace, leaving behind only bloodstains, unanswered questions, and a mask no one can explain.FEATURED STORY:“Summer's Mask” by QualoaPerformed by Barnabas DeimosProduced by Craig Groshek🔑 Support Us and Listen Ad-Free (Become a Patron Today):⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.chillingtalesfordarknights.com/join-now/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔊 Listen to More of our Podcasts:Chilling Tales for Dark Nights | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Scary Stories Told in the Dark | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Horror Hill | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Drew Blood's Dark Tales | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Fear From the Heartland | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ • ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🎬 Other Places to Watch:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rumble ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠• ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
