The Dark Side of Woodstock

Horror

Music

It was a hot summer day in Bethel, New York, when I stumbled upon the eerie and abandoned dairy farm where the infamous Woodstock Music & Art Fair took place three years prior. As a music enthusiast, I had always been fascinated by the iconic festival that brought together some of the world's most renowned musicians. But little did I know, my curiosity would soon lead me to uncover the dark secrets buried beneath the surface.

As I ventured deeper into the farm, an unsettling feeling crept over me. The once-vibrant atmosphere was now replaced with an eerie silence, punctuated only by the creaking of rusty gates and the distant hum of generators. It was as if the spirits of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and other legendary performers were still lingering, their music forever trapped in the air.

As I explored further, I stumbled upon a makeshift stage, where a lone guitar player strummed a haunting melody. The notes seemed to conjure up visions of hippies dancing in the mud, of peace signs and flower power. But beneath the surface, something sinister lurked, waiting to pounce.
