The Hook Man is often depicted as a vengeful ghost of a murderer or convict who lost his hand and now wields a deadly hook. In this tale, he targets a pair of lovers who park their car in a remote, wooded area—unaware that they’ve attracted his attention. As they sit in the car, the haunting scrape of metal against their car signals the Hook Man’s arrival. By the time they realize what's happening, it's already too late.

🎵 Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
The night was cold, the air was still,
They parked beyond the haunted hill.
Whispers on the wind did cry,
Of shadows watching from the sky.

(Chorus)
Beware the hook, sharp as the night,
He comes for those who lose the light.
In midnight’s grasp, he takes his toll,
And leaves behind an empty soul.

(Verse 2)
A sound, a scrape against the steel,
A warning they could never feel.
His hook, it dragged across the door,
But once he’s near, there’s no before.

(Bridge)
In every scream, his presence lies,
He marks the ones who close their eyes.
A single glance, a fleeting breath,
The Hook Man always brings his death.

(Chorus)
Beware the hook, sharp as the night,
He comes for those who lose the light.
In midnight’s grasp, he takes his toll,
And leaves behind an empty soul.

(Verse 3)
She ran, she hid, but he was near,
The scrape of metal fed her fear.
The hook, it gleamed in moonlight’s tear,
And in the dark, he disappeared.

(Outro)
