This Romanian forest is known best for it's strange happenings and disappearances rather then good looks or wildlife. Many speculate something horrific happened around 1600 to cause all the strange occurrences, but no one is quite sure. One thing is for certain, this place is terrifying.
Romania is a beautiful country with its amazingly colorful deciduous forests and stunning medieval architecture, but Romania is also a hot spot for paranormal enthusiasts around the world. Due to Romania's rich history (and Vlad the Impaler) it is hard to ignore the local history. But, there is one place people refuse to go to.
That would be Hoia Baicu Forest. Located near Cluj-Napoca, Romania's second most populous city, this forest looks perfectly normal until you start asking locals about it. Many people that have ventured in have simply disappeared. This, along with all the other unexplained phenomenon, makes this forest the most haunted on planet earth.
The claims that hundreds of people have while in the forest range from weird to harmful. The most well known cases are those of lights floating about and those of a screaming woman.
The lights floating around are of an orange or red hue and are seen more often then most phenomenon in the Hoia Baicu forest, but many say they are UFOs or spirits floating around looking for humans. None of these theories can be proven due to the inability to track any of these objects, but many pictures have been taken of them while exploring the forest.
The screaming lady is the most well known due to the feeling of terror it generates while in auditory range. Many people who hear her run immediately without question. But, for those brave enough, motion sensing cameras have been used to catch her in action. Many of these experiments end with disturbing results, including the camera being broken beyond repair, to the film being damaged to the point of not being able to make out what is in the film.
The strangest occurrence of them all though? The 400ft diameter clearing in the middle of the forest. Nothing grows here. Not even grass. Most animals refuse to enter this part of the forest and for good reason. This is the most haunted area. With reports of people getting harmed inside the circle, many advise staying away.
No one truly knows what happens in the Hoia Baciu forest, but many still stay away in fear that they will be next to vanish in the world's most haunted forest.
