There! And we're seeing them all around us.
What is that? Where are you?
Hey guys! Thank you for tuning in to Amy's Crypt. I'm really excited because
this is my big finale to my October long haunted Romania series and I've saved
the best til last... overnight in the world's most haunted forest, hoia baciu.
Alright so we're pretty close to the forest.
We just got dropped off down a little dirt road by our taxi driver who told me
that he is scared of the forest and will not take us any closer to it. so he kind
of kicked us out of all our bags and that and told us to walk. so we know
where it is. we can see it and we're going to head towards it and hopefully
see some weird stuff. We are getting further and further away from civilization which is
good. yeah we're pretty close to the edge of the forest now.
So already Jarrad's GPS on his phone which is what we're kind of relying on
in the forest has stopped working. so we're just going to walk blindly into
the forest and hope that we can figure out a bit later where exactly we're
headed. but this was really exciting for me. this is a place I've always wanted to
come. this forest is very well known for having vast amounts paranormal activity
and unexplained phenomena happening. so it's really exciting here and I cannot
wait to share some of these spooky stories with you.
so we're lost already we are trying to find a specific part of the forest known
as the dead zone, which we know where it is on GPS but since its not working
we're just kind of going blindly. I've chosen this direction because it looks
the spookiest and I noticed an arrow on a tree that was pointing this way so... I
don't know we're just kind of winging it here.
okay so the first of the unexplained phenomena to happen within hoia baciu
forest is strange growing vegetation. so the most prevalent thing is trees
growing bent, unnaturally bent, or even in spirals and I've been looking out for it.
I'm really excited because we just found our first bendy tree. so this one right
here. I've seen pictures and there's far more extreme cases so we're looking out
for more and definitely expecting to find more along the way. but this is kind
of how they grow and science cannot explain it. apparently they don't know
why they grown in that fashion. there's also some really cool ones that
look like they're long skinny trees that look like they're growing right up and
over in an arch and then there's a lot of strange activity on the bark of the
trees where they look charred and burnt for no reason so we're going to be
looking out for that soon. but it's something really cool and interesting
about the forest.
so Jarrads run off a head and I know he's nervous because we really want to find
special spot which is known as the dead zone before sundown. that's where we
want to make camp and he's getting a little bit stressed about not finding it.
okay I'm absolutely shattered we've been looking for ages trying... oh oh I could really
go some of these berries right now but maybe I won'. you might die. yeah I don't
think this forest needs any more ghosts.
What is that? I don't know.
looks pretty cool.
That some Blair Witch S*** right there.
Alright guys. I think that we found what we are looking for we're looking for, a massive
clearing in the forest where no trees and no vegetation or anything grows. it's almost
forms a perfect circle and no one quite knows how it exists or why. It's just in
the middle of the forest. it's supposed to be a hub for paranormal activity and
a lot of locals believe that that is where the ghosts of hoia baciu forest
live. it's also been the site of a lot of UFO sightings. Which is very interesting.
Light anomalies, lights coming through the trees within the forest at
night, a lot of unexplainable things happen here and I can just see just a
break in the forest up ahead. I can see grass and sunlight and we're heading
towards it so we're gonna check it out. I think we found it.
Alright guys this is so odd. I mean I've seen it on a lot of TV shows and a lot
of paranormal programs have been here: Destination Truth. Ghost Adventures, and I
actually thought it would be bigger. it is very odd though. If you kind of
look around, the edge the forest just sort of stops all of a sudden and then
there's just this big field.
so we're currently standing in the dead zone or the clearing of hoia baciu
forest and thought this was a good area to tell some of the ghost stories of the
forest which is thought to be very haunted. A lot of people have claimed to
see apparitions all throughout the forest. some people have even picked
these up in photographs so a lot of faces have been caught in photos that
weren't visible at the time to the human eye. People have seen shadow figures and
outlines of humanoid figures all throughout the forest and even in this
clearing that I'm standing in right now. so I'm just going to go for a walk
around the dead zone. I don't understand why it's here and why it exists.
apparently soil samples have been taken and there's no scientific explanation
for why nothing grows here. the soil here is supposed to be no different to the
soil in the forest behind me. there has been a lot of UFO sightings here. so they
date back to the 60s and 70s and they've even been captured quite a lot in
photographs. so rods, flying saucers and lights orbs,
light anomalies and strange figures are very common to be sighted in this area
and that is why we've decided to camp here. So a lot of people have reported
when they're camping here in the clearing at night when it is dark and
pitch-black they've seen lights piercing through the trees in the forest
and I'd really love to capture something like that. now another thing about this
forest is it said that people have suffered a lot of physiological effects
upon entering. so there's been a lot of people that have suddenly became anxious
or nervous. a lot of people have also suddenly become ill, migraines, headaches
nausea, vomiting, and then they've even reported to being attacked. so getting
pushed, scratched, or even developing rashes during their
time here. this place is actually nicknamed the Bermuda Triangle of
Romania because people fear that if you enter you may never exit the forest and
there's a lot of legends and stories that talk of people that this has happened to.
some believe that the forest contains a portal to another dimension and there's
a lot of stories of people entering the forest, disappearing for years on end and
then turning up many years later with no recollection of where they've been, what
has happened and wearing the same clothing. In fact the most famous of all of
those stories concerns a young five year old girl. she entered the forest one day,
never came back out for five years. five years later she turns up in the exact
same clothes that she was wearing when she went missing. she doesn't know what
happened. she has no recollection of those five years. they said that she's
one of the lucky ones because supposedly a lot of people who have gone missing
have been found dead years later and no signs of trauma or anything on their
body. so it's quite a mysterious place for that I did warn my family that I was
spending the night here before I entered and hopefully you guys get to see this
video by Halloween and I'm not missing for years.
so the legend of how Hoia Baciu first got its name is quite an
interesting and spooky one. it's told that a shepherd with 200 sheep in his
flock entered the forest one day and never returned. ever since then the
forest was named after him and that's been what it has been referred to since.
no one ever heard or seen from him or any of his sheep again. they all just
went missing.
so I think Jarrad's getting worried about me so I might head back and try and find him. he's
been trying to collect firewood. I've just been exploring. now because of
all those stories about this place and people getting lost within the
forest I was a bit worried and it kind of reminded me a lot of the Blair Witch.
so I don't know if I'm gonna have my own Blair Witch Project tonight but I did
wear my Blair Witch pin. it sounds like The Blair Witch Project when they hear
stones banging in the distance. weird noise coming from the trees. Oh is amy there she
is dragging some wood.
That actually scared me for a second. how was it? I haven't told Amy because she's not here,
she's exploring and collecting wood, but I'm getting a rash on my arm, check it
out.
I don't think it is paranormal though - I think it's just the wood that
I've been collecting scratching me... but and then they've even reported to being
attacked so getting pushed scratched burnt or even developing rashes during
their time here. Amy?
amy is that you?
I can hear people walking through the forest.
I've been collecting wood for what feels like ages and we can only find scrappy
bits. it's gonna get quite cold tonight. it's gonna be about zero [degrees celcius]. hoping we have
enough. but we don't actually know. I reckon we can burn for this real quick
though there's no substantial logs here at all so we don't know whether to quit
or just keep going or what. there are many ghosts thought to roam the Hoia-Baciu
forest and a lot of people have hypothesized that these ghosts are
Romanian peasants that were murdered in the area. they're very disgruntled.
they were tormented and now they are trapped in the forest. and there has been
so many sightings of ghostly apparitions, shadow people and that, it is actually
incredible how many there have been. it would be very interesting later tonight - we're
going to do a lot of investigating and see if we are able to pick anything up.
I think he collected wood for about three hours.
no way. yes way. what time is it? like five-ish. we got here at 2:00 or 2:30,
and then we walked here. At least two hours ok then. I'm actually a bit F*****
dizzy. Is that paranormal? No. I think I am just F****from carrying all that wood.
A lot of people have also suddenly become ill, migraines
headaches nausea vomiting. Here he comes.
Looks like he found something worth burning. How you doing?
pants staying up? It's so awkward to hold.
that's a deer! it's a wild deer! I don't think I can get any closer.
...We're starting to hear our first bump in the night...
...voices, giggles, screams reported to be very common coming out of the forest...
