An idea that just popped into my head, I thought it was interesting so, here goes:
Name: Missing Island (Yes, indeed a tacky name)
Set: Present, a town near a dense forest.
About:
You've being travelling lots and you're quite tired so you have to stop at the nearest town: [town's name]. It is quite normal, apart from the fact it's near to a dense forest. Sadly the nearest Inn is the nearest to the forest, it gives you the shivers. Before going into the inn, you glance over at the beginning of the forest, something shiny catches your eye; a locket! You pick it up and examine it, then open it to see something that shocked you: a very old picture of a girl's face. You quickly close it, not wanting to see it again. You pop it in your pocket and go into the inn to rest. You go to the check-in desk and ask for a room, blah blah blah and go to your room. You reach into your pocket to examine the locket again, but it's gone! You quickly rush out into the loby and glance at the floor. Nothing. Then a woman comes up to you and says "Did you drop this?" and she hands you the locket, you thank her and begin to walk off- but the woman stops you and asks "Do you know the girl in that locket?" she says. You stop, cold in your tracks. "How did you know?" you ask, curiously. "Because she went missing in the forest near by almost 150 years ago." she replies. "One moment, please" then she walks off and then comes back again with a book titled: " [book's title] ". She hands it to you and you open it up, there, right in the middle of the page, you see the same girl in that locket, you quickly get out the locket again and open it up, but there was something you hadn't noticed, you hadn't see, the name on the locket. It scares you out of your skin! It's your great, great (so on) grandmother! You drop the locket in shock, you quickly pick it up again. "What on earth is the matter?" the woman asks, you forgot she was still there. "S-she is m-my gr-great, great gr-grandmother!" You reply, shakily. "Some how it was familiar to me, now I know why." you add. "Read the book." the woman said, so you read it.
"[your great, great mother's/lost girl's name] went missing almost 150 years ago, in the forest of [town's name]. The reason for her dissappearance is unknown, as of why she even went there in the first place." You stop reading, you don't realise how your face looks, it has a horrified look on it. The woman starts to explain something, "I believe the reason for she disppearance was because of strange 'activity' many say." "What kind?" "Paranormal." A shiver runs down your spine. She continues, "She must of died in attempt aprroving this." "Wait, 'Proving' it?" "Yes, may others got lost in the forest, and have died, they believe they still hear screams of horror at night, as if it is still happeneing." That shocks you, the shiver runs down your spine again, not surprizingly.
I CUT THE STORY SHORT, SORRY! But anyway you venture into the forest, and encounter ghosts, blah blah, and you finally found her, you ask her all this stuff, "Why did you come here?" and it also turns out the woman was right, but she was looking for not just any ghost, but her friend who died here, blah blah, she also says her dad came here, looking to cut it down, but he also died too, so she also went to find her dad as well, but she thought he was still alive though, until she found his body, dead, but now she cannot find his body! And then the bonus quest starts!
Bonus quest: You help her find her father and friend, then bury them and pay respects. Then she is at peace.
