multiple possibilities Just Old Stories, Right?

Ever sit back and tell ghost stories or the like with friends? This is a similar story.

You will play a young woman (and if you desire, a female friend as well, played by me) that decides to investigate these rumors. The tale differs from person to person telling the stories, but they have to be made up, right? 

A monster with tentacles binding up its prey. A sadistic beast man kidnapping and torturing (sexually, no gore/death) those who trespass, gangs who profit from wondering eyes, ghosts in a mysterious house hidden in the woods. The tales are endless. The truth unknown. 

Care to find out?

Like I said. The story differs to your interest. All female characters are atleast 16 years of age (have to have some maturity to them).
