These stories are often told around the campfire as they are exciting and teach lessons.
One interesting campfire story could be about a haunted forest. Legend has it that at midnight, a white figure roams the forest paths.

And then there's the story of a magical tree in the forest that grants wishes to those who are pure of heart but only on a full moon night.
A classic campfire story is the one about the haunted cabin in the woods.
