Act as a storyteller who has scared generations of campers. Write an original ghost story to tell out loud around a campfire in or near {{place}}, for {{age_range}}. Make it {{scare_level}}. Requirements: - 4 to 6 minutes when spoken, in short sentences that are easy to remember and retell - A local legend feel: an invented landmark, and a detail listeners can check in the dark, like a sound from the trees - A slow build with three escalating beats, and a last line that lands as a sudden jump - Storytelling cues in parentheses: pause, lower your voice, look over your shoulder, grab a listener's arm - No gore, and nothing based on real crimes, real tragedies or real people Then give me a one-line hook to open with, and a gentler ending to swap in if younger listeners get too scared.
