Abnormal Les Hoya-Baciu in Romania

Les Hoya-Baciu, located near the Romanian city of Cluj-Napoca, rightly bears the title of one of the most mysterious places of Europe. It is called the "Bermuda triangle of Transylvania".

This analogy suggests itself: here disappear people, frequent UFO sightings... the villagers prefer not to go to JOLLA-Baciu, in order not to incur the wrath of powerful forces that, in their opinion, live in the woods...

The main tourist attraction of Transylvania is the bran castle, built in the 14th century. They at one time owned the legendary Vlad Tepes, better known to us as count Dracula.

However, in recent years more and more tourists tend to visit not only the castle of Dracula, much of the surrounding forest Hoya-Baciu, paranormal phenomena which have become almost commonplace.

But a little more than 100 years ago, it was like woods. The locals were hunting down, collecting mushrooms and berries. Through the forest ran yezzennya tract in which the travellers were not afraid to travel even at night. Now this road is almost overgrown, and to go on Hoya-Baciu night dares is that extreme. Or possessed by paranormal investigators. Which, however, lacking.

Early last century the woods (then called simply JOLLA) began to change before our eyes. Straight trunks of the trees gradually curved at horrendous angles. The soil was covered in thick moss. Of the forest gradually disappeared, the animals, and after them almost all the birds. The locals were whispering that Hoya saw Vlad the Impaler, who at one time loved to hunt in these places. It was rumored that the forest was chosen by the devil himself.

Missing shepherd

Its ominous reputation Les Hoya started to meet immediately after the First world war. In one of the local villages lived a shepherd nicknamed Baciu (in Romanian — "leader", "leader"). Local residents were engaged in cattle breeding, and therefore Baciu, that hundreds were raised and sold sheep, respected. In one of the June days, the shepherd drove the flock back to 200 heads to the fair in the town of Cluj-Napoca. His way lay through the forest. Baciu went there early in the morning and... disappeared.

When at the appointed time he appeared at the fair, merchants wait for Otaru, which already made a Deposit, startled. Residents of the city and the surrounding villages (in search of was attended by several thousand people) literally meter searched the woods, an area of 35 hectares. But no trace of the shepherd, nor the sheep could not be found.

Thieves in these places have not been found, but even if they came from somewhere and killed Baciu, hiding his body, to take such a large flock so that it is not noticed in the surrounding villages, is an unreal problem. Respected man and the sheep vanished without a trace. And the forest has since been called the Hoya-Baciu.

Time loop

The woods like a predator, yet tasted the taste of human blood demanded all new and new victims. Within a few years, in Hoya-Baciu missing a few people. Their bodies were also not found. But these tragedies can be attributed to an accident, attack of wild animals, that is, to somehow explain. Others stories smack of outright devilry.

For example, two cases that occurred after the Second world war. A young teacher who didn't believe in neither God nor the devil, went to the Hoya-the Bach for mushrooms. Soon the local people found her sitting on the edge.

In 1989, the Guinness Book of records came Screaming forest, located in Kent near the village of Plaksi. There was observed the highest number of ghosts in the UK — a minimum of 12 "events" per year.

Unhappy completely lost her memory — she didn't even remember his own name. And, of course, could not answer the question of what happened to her in the woods. Another time a five year old girl in pursuit of a beautiful butterfly ran into the woods. Were organized searches, but to find the baby and failed. Only five years missing girl in the same clothes and absolutely apparently not changed — out of the woods, holding the wings of a captured butterfly.

The girl was unable to tell me where you've gone: for her from the moment she walked into the thicket, it took only a few minutes.
Educated people, like teachers, which was discussed above, despise superstition. Therefore, although the majority of local residents avoided going to the Joya-Baciu, someone still went there to pick berries and mushrooms. Not all, but some soon got sick — people complained about skin rashes, migraines, dizziness, causeless vomiting. The doctors are unable to determine the cause of ailments in perfectly healthy people. After some time, the patients recovered, but for the Hoya-Baciu finally gained bad fame.

World fame

In the 1960-ies of the phenomenon of Hoya Baciu interested in Romanian biologist Alexander Sift. He was the first scholar who seriously took up the study of the paranormal zone. For several years Alexander, despite the danger, crossed the woods and down, spent the night in the forest, was there doing a photo shoot.

Surprisingly, Hoya-Baciu has not caused him any harm. Alexander Sift noted that, in the depths of the forest there is a strange circular clearing where no vegetation. When comparing soil samples from this clearing and the forest with the usual no difference in composition was found. So the biological reasons for the disappearance of vegetation within a circular clearing no.

Alexander Sift noted: UFO (most circular shape) may be encountered anywhere in the forest. But in the "bald" field of their activity is greatest. For the manifestation of the films after night of the photo shoots, the researcher noticed another strange feature. Many photographs recorded the round glowing objects that cannot be perceived with the naked eye.

By the way, the balls are now often appear in photographs taken using a digital camera. Scientists can provide no reasonable explanation, but among locals it is. According to them, the orbs are the souls of dead people. The fact that the land of Transylvania abundantly watered with the blood — this area in the Middle ages, constantly passed from hand to hand. All this, of course, was accompanied by violence. Poor peasants were robbed and slaughtered and the local princelings, Hungarians and Romanians, and Turks.
...In 1968 the case Cifta continued Romanian military engineer Emil Barney. Soon after the beginning of observation he was able to photograph a UFO over the treetops. The experts found that we are really talking about a flying object, the nature of which they do not presume to explain. It is believed that this is the most clear and reliable picture of a UFO taken in Romania.

A portal to another world?

In our days in Hoya-Baciu come numerous ufologists from different countries — Germany, France, UK, Hungary. However, the paranormal activity in these areas in recent years has declined somewhat. Not all visitors are able to face the mystical phenomena.

However, many of them watching in the woods glowing orbs (most often near the "bald" glade deep in the forest). Sometimes investigators hear strange sounds, or see flickering shadows and lights. In winter the snow often appear strange footprints that do not belong to any known Earth creature.

The photographs still common to see strange silhouettes and the glowing orbs that are not visible to the naked eye.
Prestigious publication dedicated to UFOlogy and the BBC called Joya-Baciu one of the most interesting paranormal areas on the planet. Come here even Nicolas cage, intrigued by the gear of a mysterious forest. Famous Hollywood actor a few days, a documentary film about the Hoya Baciu, who now shows his friends at private parties. Cage is confident that the trees in the forest changed their form under the influence of the powerful energy inherent in these places. After this statement of the actor in the Hoya Baciu started to come to the yoga enthusiasts. They meditate in the forest and trying to draw energy from a mystical source.

The residents of the surrounding villages in recent years have found their explanation for all the hell that's going on in Hoya-Baciu. They believe that "bald" clearing in the thicket is a portal to another world. Disappeared people simply failed there. And glowing orbs, strange shadows and UFO — inhabitants of a parallel universe accidentally came into our world.

But there is another version explaining the mysterious phenomena in the Hoya Baciu. Dracula's castle, which somehow forgotten amongst all the hype around the mystical forest, it can affect the land around it with its negative energy and even be a kind of portal connecting our world with parallel worlds.
