There was a racing greyhound named Lightning. After his racing days were over, he was adopted by a young couple. One evening, the couple took Lightning for a walk in a nearby forest. As they walked deeper into the forest, Lightning became increasingly agitated. He started pulling on his leash and growling. Suddenly, he broke free and ran into a small clearing. The couple followed him and found him standing in front of a large, ancient - looking tree. There was a strange symbol carved into the tree trunk. Lightning was trembling, and his eyes were fixed on the symbol. The couple tried to pull Lightning away, but he wouldn't budge. As the sun started to set, a mist began to rise from the ground. The couple noticed that the symbol on the tree seemed to be glowing faintly. Lightning let out a long, mournful howl. The couple felt a sense of dread wash over them. They managed to drag Lightning away, but from that day on, Lightning was never the same. He would often have nightmares and would wake up in the middle of the night, barking and shaking. The couple could only wonder what it was that Lightning had seen or sensed in the forest that had so terrified him.
There was once a greyhound named Shadow. A family adopted Shadow from a local shelter. Everything seemed normal at first. But one night, while the family was asleep, Shadow started barking frantically at the bedroom window. The family woke up, and when they looked out, they saw nothing. But Shadow continued to bark and seemed extremely agitated. As the days passed, strange things began to happen. Doors would open and close on their own, and cold drafts would sweep through the house even though all the windows were closed. Shadow would often cower in a corner, his eyes wide with fear. One day, the youngest child of the family was playing in the yard when suddenly he screamed. The family rushed out and saw the boy pointing at a spot where Shadow was standing. But there was something strange about Shadow. His form seemed hazy, and there was an otherworldly glow around him. The family soon realized that the house they had moved into was built on an old burial ground, and it seemed that Shadow was somehow connected to the spirits there. He was either trying to protect the family from the angry spirits or was being used by the spirits to communicate their displeasure at having their resting place disturbed. The family finally decided to move out, and as they left, Shadow's form disappeared, leaving them with a lingering sense of unease and mystery.
A greyhound named Bolt was given to a lonely old man. Bolt was a beautiful dog, but soon after coming to the old man's house, strange occurrences began. Every night, Bolt would start whining and pacing around the living room. The old man noticed that Bolt would always stop in front of an old painting on the wall. One night, the old man couldn't bear Bolt's restlessness and decided to take a closer look at the painting. As he got closer, he could swear that the figures in the painting seemed to move. Bolt then let out a howl that made the old man's blood run cold. The following day, the old man tried to find out more about the painting. He learned that it had been painted by a deranged artist who had used the blood of greyhounds in his paint mixture. It was believed that the spirits of the dogs were trapped in the painting. Bolt seemed to be sensing the presence of his fellow greyhounds and was terrified. The old man, fearing for his safety and Bolt's well - being, burned the painting. After that, Bolt gradually calmed down, but the old man was left with a deep sense of horror at what had happened.
