ABOUT HOIA-BACIU FOREST

NOT FROM HERE

This picture was taken in another forest in Poland, even if it is associated with the Hoia-Baciu Forest quite often. 

THE FOREST

 

Hoia-Baciu Forest lies in the North-Western part of Romania, in Transylvania, near Cluj-Napoca. The forest is famous since the late '60s, when a military technician caught on camera the best pictures of a UFO above Poiana Rotunda (the round clearing where there is no tree growing for a long time). Besides, since the '50s, a local professor have experienced a bunch of paranormal phenomena in and around the forest. Also, for a long time already, the forest's visitors have experienced all kind of feelings...

THE FEELINGS...

 

The reports about Hoia-Baciu Forest have included folk ghost stories, apparitions, faces identified in photographs that were not visible with the naked eye, and, in the late '60s, UFO sightings. Visitors to the forest report anxiety and the feeling of being watched; in addition, the local vegetation is often bizarre (strangely shaped trees, charring on tree stumps and branches).

 

THE STORIES...

 

One legend says that the name "Baciu" comes from a shepherd who strangely disappeared with his flock of 200 sheep while being close to the circular plateau deep in the forest (Poiana Rotunda), which is considered by the locals a hub for the paranormal activity...
