@md.mojahidulislam4508منذ 2 سنواتI grew up in darjeeling, my school was a short hike from downhill. One winter while hiking way up the mountain, it got late and dark. The whole id="hidden1" class="buttons"> group of us had to hike through downhill, through the forest to make it in our school back. It was extreme dark, too dark to see anything. We were lost, the group was broken and you could hear the boy scream, probably some squirrel or insect. It was scary and that was one hike in 2010 I will never forget. ....وسعت21

@AdrianDucaoمنذ 3 سنوات@ this reminds me of my fathers experience in northern Luzon Philippines, they usually encounter this kind of fireballs that crawls in the forest region but doesn't burn the dried leaves or branches, he said that they tried to throw rocks at it if they hit it, it'll shatters and reassemble. he said that these sightings occasionally occurs at night time, but after the region recovered from world war 2 and began celebrating new year with fireworks and loud celebrations he said that sightings had disappeared and never saw the same fire like things. my father was around 5-10 that time and he's not the only witness of that thing. ....وسعت7

@
@edi9892منذ 4 سنوات is typical for trees that had been bent in their youth by humans. When wood-hull ships were still common, entire forests were forced into these weird shapes. Obviously, it can also be natural, when a storm throws over young trees and they struggle to survive. When they are still young, they can rais themselves to some degree. The creepiest wood I´ve seen had every single tree in a corkscrew pattern. I think all the stems turned counterclockwise into the sky. They were all rather young and of similar age. Later, I heard that this can be caused by prolonged, intense radiation (doesn´t make me feel any better). Plants react to radiation, as they want to turn to the sun, but when the ground is radioactive, they may crawl on the floor or grow in random directions. In another forest, I had found another weird place: an artificial dune with a concrete pipe going through it, big enough for a grown human to bear crawl through. Two sides were covered with wooden grid reaching over 3m high. The entire place was overgrown with vines and thorny plants. I bet they had been planted on purpose to hide it and keep visitors away. I still don´t know why someone would go this length to build something like a big garage with one side left completely open. BTW: I´ve been to the Blackforest too and got quite frustrated and got nearly lost there. The paths were poorly maintained so that it was hard to see where it leads and many crossings are not marked on the map I had been given. To make things worse, some idiot had ripped out most roadsigns and tossed them away. Those that were still left had their letters fading due to time. Combine this with many curves, hill, and no fixed locations to see, you can quickly get into trouble.Also, you won´t have any reception on your mobile and there are swamps and snakes (though chances are that they are not poisonous, but still, I don´t like snakes). ....وسعت16

@Dimetropteryxمنذ 4 سنواتThese are probably the safest forests on the planet, if ghosts are the worst thing in them This country is three quarters forest, I've spent id="hidden23" class="buttons"> a good deal of my free time in the woods over the decades, and not once did the forest feel scary or unsafe. We have bears, wolves, venomous snakes, disease-carrying ticks, stinging insects, wild boar, deer that could kick or gore you to death, people etc, but the one time I got worried, I was about 10 and it was because of a large ownerless mastiff running loose. The forest is mundane to those who actually live in or near it. The ones who come up with stories about them are always the ones who shit themselves if they accidentally step off the pavement. Addendum: The Blair Witch Project wasn't scary. It was infuriating because of the helpless panicking characters. ....وسعت1
