Write a detailed description of a spooky scene outside a forest road with a tree that appears to have been struck by lightning.

Grotesquely twisted trees stretch out on both sides of the old road. A slight breeze eddies the fog, creating tendrils that snake through the trees. On the northern side of the old road is a tree that appears to have been struck by lightning. The tree's upper trunk is splintered and blackened, its lower limbs hang low over the scrub brush.
