And why? Over the decades, there have been hundreds of reports of paranormal activity, ranging from disturbances in the mobile network, observing light balls and ghosts, to the disappearance of humans and animals returning after years.

Hoia Baciu Forest takes its name from a local shepherd who disappeared with his flock of sheep in the forest. Another story tells of a five-year-old girl who went into the woods and returned five years later with the same clothes and did not look any older. Many stories are about a clean-up where nothing grows, and that’s it, although scientists have investigated and determined that everything is okay.

And whether you’re looking for the supernatural or just an interesting trip, this forest is a fascinating and unique place and definitely worth a visit.
