Welcome to the dark side: Seven mysterious places in Romania Posted on 06 April 2015 at 03:01 The Hoia-Baciu Forest The Hoia-Baciu Forest (in picture), also known as Romania’s Bermuda Triangle, is situated near Cluj-Napoca and covers 250 hectares. It is one of the spookiest places in Romania, as several paranormal activities and unexplained events allegedly took place there: from ghost and other unexplained apparitions, to UFOs sightings. Those who have entered the forest often reported intense feelings of anxiety and some of them said they had the feeling that someone was watching them. Locals are afraid to enter the forest because of the legends around it, but those who did returned with physical problems, including rashes, nausea, vomiting, migraines and burns. The local vegetation is also bizarre in appearance, with strangely shaped trees.
