"Near Cluj-Napoca, I describe this forest as extremely eerie—with crooked trees and a barren clearing rumored to be a portal—where visitors report intense anxiety, feelings of being watched, apparitions, photographs capturing unseen faces, and even UFO sightings." - Andrea Romano Andrea Romano Andrea Romano is a writer and editor in New York City.

"Many stories circulate about these woods, touching on ghosts, witches, and UFOs, but the most unsettling thing you can see with your own eyes is a mysterious clearing of trees. Nothing grows here and despite tests by scientists to discover an explanation in the soil composition, none was found. If you're feeling daring, night tours are available from the closest town of Cluj-Napoca." - Travel + Leisure Editors
