The Hoia-Baciu Forest is in the heart of Transylvania. The Forest spans for 792 acres and is deemed the most haunted forest in the world. The Hoia-Baciu Forest has many legends and unsolved mysteries dating back to Neolithic times. Many people visit the Hoia-Baciu Forest in hopes of gaining answers of the mysterious legends and experiences.
The legends of the Hoia-Baciu Forest started to become popular after a little girl went missing. She was five years old when she went missing. A search party was organized but she was never found. Until five years later, she reappeared. She was wearing the same clothes when she went missing. The little girl had not aged and had absolutely no recollection of what happened. She was untouched. Another legend is the disappearance of a Sheppard and his 200 sheep. The remains have yet to be found after all these years. People have also reported UFO sightings frequently in the 1970s. This happened more after a military technician was able to capture a photo of a UFO.
The Hoia-Baciu Forest is very popular for the strange vegetation. The trees assume unnatural positions like being bent and curved. In the middle of the Forest is Poiana Rotunda. Poiana Rotunda is a huge circle in the middle of the forest where nothing grows. Scientist have studied the soil and have not found any evidence as to why nothing grows. The locals refuse to go to this area of the forest because it is where the most paranormal and strange activity happens in the forest.
Many people who’ve entered the forest never leave the same. The Hoia-Baciu Forest is known for inducing anxiety and making visitors of the forest feel as if they are being watched. People also leave the forest feeling unwell. It has also been documented that people will develop random rashes, bruises, and scratches after leaving the Hoia-Baciu Forest. People are also more prone to lose track of time. Many people have left also with very little memories from the Hoia-Baciu Forest due to forgetting after leaving the Forest
The Hoia-Baciu Forest remains a mystery to this day. The Forest remains a tourist attraction today and is visited by many excluding the locals of Romania. Is it possible for the mystery to be solved in the Bermuda Triangle of Romania?
