Hey welcome back to the world according to Briggs or welcome to the channel if
this is your first time here my name is Briggs and I've been lost in the woods
before more than once really the good news is these wouldn't be considered
haunted woods and I was only lost for a couple hours so all's good today's list
is about haunted forests I did a mysterious places video last week and
while I was doing the research for it I found one of the most haunted things on
the planet seemed to be forests every country that has a forest has a haunted
forest it seems like some of them are downright spooky like eyes wide open
dry mouth a quiver in your voice while you tell your highschool girlfriend to
get dressed we'll try another wooded area some people actually seek out
haunted forests they want to go in they want to research them they want to
experience them they want to see what's going on here I guess they just need to
most of us don't need to if you're one of those people that doesn't feel the
need to go into the woods and find some scary stories or research some legends
this videos for you we're going to explore these haunted forests from the
relative safety of the Internet all right let's check them out number 10 The
Devil's tramping ground North Carolina's deep in the woods near the town of
Harper's crossroad North Carolina there's a mysterious 40-foot ring where
it is rumored a demon or the devil stomps in a circle as he thinks up new
ways to destroy humanity legend has it this is where he invented student-loan
death and boy bands so what's odd about this place besides all the legends and
all those scary stories is nothing grows here it's a circle in the middle of the
woods that's barren everything around the
circle grows just fine just not in a circle even the North Carolina State
Department of Agriculture has supposedly taken soil samples and has yet to come
up with any explanation to why this patch is devoid of growth late at night
people have reported hearing a man laugh like really loud in the middle of the
forest
number nine doll island Mexico there's an island near Mexico City that has
around $1,000 Marie's saying this is a little creepy as a series understatement
the islands only resident back in the day Don Julio Santana
discovered the body of a young girl one of the canals near the island over
fifty years ago a couple days after finding the girl's body he found a doll
floating in the same spot so he hung up the doll on a tree for some reason over
the years whenever he would find a doll he would bring it back to the island and
hang it up in one of the trees in whatever condition he found it missing
an arm missing legs eyes whatever this of course makes the whole thing extra
crazy looking he was doing this because he thought it would protect him from the
spirit of the little girl that remained on the island Santana strung up about a
thousand dolls until his death in 2001 he drowned in the very same canal now
some say that's untrue that he died of a heart attack I don't know I wasn't there
when he kicked the oxygen habit now you're probably wondering where this is
it's south of the center of Mexico City in farmland with some canals in it the
Aztecs actually built the canals but in the canals they have these brightly
colored canal boats sort of like Venice Italy's boats you know for the canals
these just look more like the Partridge Family bought a boat to mushrooms and
started painting it takes about four hours round-trip if it's less than that
they've taken you to a fake island about 30 minutes away
the real Island has a bamboo fence around it and you could barely see
what's going on you can see some of the dolls but not many so there's no bamboo
fence and it's less than two hours away you're at the wrong one number eight
doubt he'll India the Victorian boys school established in the late 19th
century in West Bengal is rumored to be haunted
students report phantom footsteps echoing in the corridors and the sound
of people whispering right behind them they turn around nobody's there the
surrounding Dao Hill forest is even thicker with paranormal activity
woodsmen have said that they've seen a headless boy wandering among the trees
this one has been reported many times over the year they say that boy doesn't
look like a ghost they say he looks like a real boy I mean minus the head I
wonder if it's hard navigating the forest without a head running into trees
must be an everyday thing for this kid the good news is he doesn't have to
worry about concussions I guess some visitors have even seen red eyes peering
at them through the woods and also there's been reports of a ghost woman
dressed all in gray that just stares at you and points
they say there's something in the air that makes unfortunate visitors either
lose their mental balance and even dying
number seven Freetown Fall River State Forest
Massachusetts this forest is part of what they call the Bridgewater triangle
it's about a 200 square mile area in Massachusetts that has all kinds of
paranormal activity the Native Americans who occupied this area before in 1600s
they sold it reluctantly left behind some burial grounds this is apparently
part of what's wrong with this place most people think since the 1900s they
found more than a few bodies in the woods here including a young girl 1978
that was tied to a tree and left for dead she did die the good news is the
killer was caught convicted and eventually died in prison many people
believe the forest exerts a dark influence that drives people to do bad
things and even commit suicide then of course it is believed that the site was
used for satanic murders in the 1970s and 80s
that's one's pretty dark I'm not even getting into that one the fun doesn't
stop there they had reports of UFOs poltergeists fireballs and most
upsetting were the reports of an escaped EMU wandering the forest in 2006 even
President Reagan said he had seen things in these woods
number six Randolph Forest near Randolph Maine
Randolph Maine is one of the smaller towns in the state with a river to the
west and forest pretty much in all other directions
it has reputation for being haunted floating orbs dark shadows and screams
of get out are just some of the hauntings that happen in the Randolph
forest many of these eerie stories take place on the town's old narrow gauge
volunteer Trail known as the most haunted hike in Maine the most
well-known spirit here is known as bicycle Larry he was a beloved local who
went missing by kunal Lawrence bicycle Larry Farrell disappeared in fall of
2004 in the winter Norris Perry died by suicide after leaving a voice message
with his sister saying that he had killed Ferrell and that the body could
be found in the brook behind the home they shared investigators searched for
months but never found any trace of Larry his bicycle or even any evidence
that there was a murder nobody knows for sure what happened to him but the locals
will tell you he was murdered by Norris Perry number five old house Woods
Virginia this small forest near the Chesapeake Bay is a hot spot for
goes from the eighteenth-century redcoats and pirates who died in nearby
port town of Matthew's haunt these woods people are said to have seen a ghostly
ship glide off the Chesapeake Bay sometimes hovering over the woods like a
scene from a Peter Pan movie remember they're that flying ship anyway this
ship hovers over the woods and men aboard climbed down on rope ladders
other stories tell of ghost pirates burying treasure in the woods or men
digging in the dirt most of the stories and sightings have to do with guys
hiding and looking for gold I guess these guys didn't get that memo
you can't take it with you either it's called the old house woods because
there was actually an abandoned home here before it was called the Franny
Night house it was in the middle of the woods and even back then it was known to
be haunted in fact local stories say the house set itself on fire one time only
to put itself out again on its own eventually the house caught fire again
and burned to the ground and that was that they have countless stories and
strange happenings around the old house woods maybe it really is haunted what do
you think do you think it is let me know in the comments section below number
four during woods smart in England the during
woods are known as the screaming woods or those woods that Girl Scouts refuse
to go to that's what they should be called this place is spooky I watched a
handful of videos on these woods and the whole time I was saying nope yeah no
reason to go there nope at one point actually yelled at my computer screen
because some dude was setting up a tent in a place called the screaming woods
it's a matter of that guy visitors to the woods report hearing blood-curdling
screams coming from deep inside the forest at night along with footsteps and
whispers in the fog on foggy days the screams are often attributed to a robber
who was captured and killed by the villagers in the 18th century others
believe the hauntings are a result of a 1948 massacre where 20 people were
supposedly found dead in the forest the morning of November 1st like the day
after Halloween residents reported seeing a strange glow coming from the
woods autopsies of all the bodies couldn't determine a cause of death this
one kind of freaked me out I watched too many videos on this one kind of scary
and this the worst part these woods always seem to be foggy so it's woods
it's called the screaming woods and it's always foggy no reason to go here
especially people getting massacred in there man
number three cameron park waco texas Waco's Cameron Park has handful of spots
that are known to be haunted including a dangerous set of stairs
called Jacob's Ladder that's haunted by the grabbing ghosts this ghost climbs
into your clothes and pulls them down I guess this is a perverted ghost pants
and people in the middle of the park that's weird I wonder if that's like an
excuse for some dude that got her you know he's like flashing people or
something like that the police arrest him and he pulls out the oh no some
ghosts did it to me and it just grew from there who knows anyway the most
well-known sight is the witch's castle a name given to a crumbling set of ruins
found deep in the park according to one of the many stories surrounding the
castle the ruins are the former house of a woman suspected of witchcraft in the
1800s Waco residents blame the woman after people began disappearing in the
surrounding woods so they formed a mob and burn the house down while she was
still inside some people claimed to see the witches figure wandering through
Cameron Park today she's even been known to chase down unlucky visitors no word
if she pulls down your pants when she catches you I wonder if anyone's ever
contacted a real estate agent to buy that house you know some weirdo
out--there's tried or at least wanted to
number two the Shiloh National Park in Shiloh Tennessee not too far from the
Tennessee Mississippi border near the Tennessee River is an unincorporated
area of the Volunteer State called Shiloh this little patch of land where
two roads meet isn't anything unusual for this part of the country they have
gas station permanently closed businesses and the remains of what
appeared to be an old mobile home not terribly interesting at all but head
down the road a bit and into the woods this is the woods of the Battle of
Shiloh which occurred on April 6th and 7th 1862 during the American Civil War
at the time this battle had more casualties than the combined casualties
of all previous American wars 40,000 Confederate troops surprised the federal
troops near the Pittsburg Landing on the Tennessee River the Union soldiers were
able to hold their ground and were reinforced the next day giving them the
advantage over the Confederates the Confederates were forced to retreat thus
ending the battle in a union victory over the years there's been many reports
of the pond that's on the battlefield changing its color to blood red it
supposedly is the same pond that injured soldiers from both sides came to bathe
their wounds there have been many sightings of ghost
soldiers in these woods many of the injured soldiers asking for help people
have seen bloodied ghost horses running through the woods and the sounds of men
and extreme pain can be heard in the woods at night this place is not a place
you want to go at night go during the day it's got a nice little visitor
center and it's really neat but yeah this is an ugly patch of American land
at least the history and number one the Black Forest Germany one of the most
fascinating forests this planet has to offer is along the Rhine River in
southwestern Germany it's called the Black Forest and it looks just like
you'd imagine densely forested with fir and pine trees that sunlight rarely
pierces through the forest is said to have inspired the Brothers Grimm as they
wrote Rapunzel Sleeping Beauty and Hansel and Gretel if you read the non
Disney versions of those stories they paint a picture of the forest that you
don't want to really share with your kids maybe German people do they do
things like that the forest is dark thick and a great place for mythological
creatures and buildings like evil wizards werewolves haunted castles which
is dwarfs that travel in packs and hold attractive sleeping women in their homes
you know scary stuff and like I said those are the things the Germans tell
their kids about adults get stories of abductions hauntings gruesome killings
dark magics and stories of homes that never sell even in a good economy like I
said scary stuff if you want to read something scary about the Black Forest
read the necromancer the one published in 1794 by Ludwig flamberge I think
that's how you pronounce his name that's a scary book they had another
necromancer that was like 2010 find the one from 1794 it's scary the Black
Forest is probably one of the scariest places you could find on this planet
