Hell Run 2018: The mystery of the Botanical Garden

The story goes that many years ago, a little boy used to walk in the Botanical Garden. He went there to tear off the tree branches, to swish off the grass and flowers, to scare the birds. It seemed something very funny, that's why he came to the park every day.

But one day, when the boy again came to the park, when the flowers had faded and the trees had dropped their leaves, the boy noticed that there were no birds around. He was surprised and upset because there was nothing left for him to destroy. And the boy went looking for birds, hedgehogs or other children.

And so he strolled all along the park, walked along the paths. But only the paths did not end, and the park was still empty. And the farther he went, the fewer things he met on the way: first the bushes disappeared, then the trees disappeared, then the paths were gone. Only the black earth remained, along which he walked, walked and walked ... And then ... the boy himself disappeared. Since then, no one has ever seen him in the Botanical Garden. It's just that every year, on the last Saturday of October, everyone who comes for a walk in the park, hears the voice of a boy who is looking for the way home. But he can not find it for now.

They say that, if you walk in the park that evening and see the light of the lantern coming towards you, you need to run as fast as you can, because the boy will grab your hand and take you along with him!

It's up to you to decide if it's true or not.
