Encounters in a Spooky, Dark, Forest

• It turns out that Heart Truffles, a local mushroom delicacy that is currently popular in roadside taverns for miles around, grow exclusively on rotting corpses.
• A lone hanging tree stands in a clearing, with desiccated corpses still dangling from decrepit ropes.
• A saddled horse flees a clearing in which wolves are feasting on its dead rider. The wolves pointedly ignore the horse in favor of the human flesh.
• The rain currently falling turns out not to be water but rather some strange substance such as blood or mercury.
• What at first appears to be a somber funeral procession turns out to be a wedding parade - or vice versa.
