Hoia Forest
Woods · Cluj
Romania
"Many aficionados of the paranormal consider this spot – with its eerily crooked trees and a barren patch of land rumored to be a portal to another dimension – the most haunted forest in the world. Visitors often report intense feelings of anxiety and an overwhelming sense of being watched while traveling among the trees. Some of the most commonly reported supernatural occurrences here include unexplained apparitions, photographs showing faces that were not visible to the photographers when the pictures were taken, and UFO sightings." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"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
