hoia baciu..??

so I stumbled upon some stories about this forest in romania.. paranormal phenomena..? hmmmm?? quite interesting..

anyone else has heard of/or knows about this forest and its paranormal phenomena..?
care to share? please?? 🙂

What have you heard? Do tell. Sounds interesting.

I've just heard stories about lots of people went missing in the forest..and witnessing of ufo..or other general paranormal phenomena, such as ghost sighting..

Ok, let me google.

Only think I know about Romania is Vera Renczi, sorry. IDK if you know her story, but she's the lady that killed 30+ lovers because she "didnt want to lose them to other women". Had them in zinc coffins hidden in her cellar & would sometimes take a glass of wine and just seat there amongst the coffins in the dark. Shudders.

Off to google this one.

Oh my word at the whole thing. Didnt know Romanians were so superstitious & their superstitions are so similar to ours except for the samca + the strigoaicele. Both I find very creepy, btw.

Thanks for making this thread. Now I have something new to read about.

Yes, it's true and it is cast in the local tradition of "iele"

They are described as being in human form and beautiful and dancing in the middle of the forest. Whoever sees them loses their mind forever.

There's been a lot of weird happenings with weddings also.

I am supposed to go there with my water sign friends sometime this autumn.

i thought that vamps and other paranormals don't mix

Wanna join me on a murder spree Nem?

My good name on this site = ruined.

If I had one to begin with.

I can survive your murder spree, Damnata.

speaking of creepy forests.....suicide forest of japan.....

DO NOT watch it; if you are easily disturbed. DO NOT click it; partially graphic content.

I watched and read everything about that 😄

This makes me remember rotten.com if it still exists. And various other sites.

Not a team player either Nem but for a purpose as noble as this..

quite interesting are the burial and mourning traditions throughout the balkan. chopped off heads put between the legs/by the feet. boiled hearts and other organs. bodies laying face-down in the coffin etc.

it's more prevalent in romania, bulgaria but also part of former yugoslavia specially in serbia. serbia is known for their own brand of vampirism.

Whaaaat? Lol now you're going to make me obsess about these people. Btw, I mean no disrespect by my use of "these people". Intriguing stuff. Thanks

Where did you read about that??heads chopped and put between legs/feet.
Thats funny!-).I never heard of it!
Actually they do something else:they take out the dead person from the grave and stick a iron stick in his heart(only if the person is a poltergeist).In south of Romania happens a bit-)

I'll click 😄 The Japanese are weird. I read about this mom who attempted to drown herself & her two kids after finding out about her husband's mistress. Apparently, its an honourable thing to kill yourself by Japanese culture. It has a name too but I forgot what its called 🙂 Anyway, the mom was saved but both kids drowned. She was arrested & was angry at the people that saved her life, saying "they were probably white" for if they were Japanese they would have respected that she wanted to die & would have allowed her to drown herself. Weird shit I have ever heard. Some cultures!

@Nem. Yeah, harakiri! Dankie 🙂

Anyway we also have "primitive" rituals for the dead, like talking to them (the soul) & explaining every step of the process...up until the funeral. They spend the day before the funeral at home & have relatives telling them what messages to give to the ancestors.

I think its beautiful because western burials seem cold to me. I cant even imagine having a relative thats cremated & have the ashes scatterd at sea, etc. Its odd. A burial site is what keeps them "alive" in a way. Like, they are there, their bones...its like having them around when you can see their final resting place.

"Five people have recently died one after another in our small community, one hanging himself," said Miodrag Vujetic, a local municipal council member. "This is not by accident."

Umm not by accident, my dear Miodrag... but by suicide! Lmao, the level of stupidity, and all because us Balkan folks skipped the Renaissance.

Common sense? Ain't us mountainfolks got time for dat LOL!

yea this forest is quite famous..or infamous..
there are lots of ghost spots in japan.. and back in a while, I created a thread about some strange japanese customs of dyeing one's tooth black in the past and also conjectured as in why there seem to be lots of ghostlores exist in britain and japan, those two island countries..
