Three Mysterious Forests that Might be Home to the Paranormal

December 19, 2013 By Fred Mitchell Leave a Comment

A long time ago, forests covered more than half of Earth’s land surface. Nowadays, they cover a little under 10%. The effects of deforestation are devastating, and yet, people continue to cut them down without hesitation. When people think of forests, they usually thing of trees, but there is much more to a forest than this. They represent entire ecosystems bound together by harmony, and balance. They represent a continuous flow of energy, nourishment, tranquility and beguiling creatures. Have you ever ventured deep inside a forest? Where the rush of fresh air fills your lungs, and the world suddenly becomes completely still? It is the only place where you can truly escape reality. But then, there are also those spooky forests that remind us of the Blair Witch Project. The ones where people commit suicide, or simply vanish. We have decided to present to you three bizarre and magical forests that will probably not make you feel very serene.

1. The Red Forest 

 “A light wind swept over the corn, and all nature laughed in the sunshine.” (Anna Bronte)

After the accident at Chernobyl (April 26, 1986), tens of thousands of hectares of forest were contaminated with radioactive waste. Signs of radioactive mutation to conifers were evident right away: having absorbed over 100 doses their radio-sensitivity increased 2-3 times, and they suffered a complete loss of conifers, growth anomalies or average radiation damage. Most of the Worm Wood Forest turned ginger-brown and died. Soon after, the population of wild boar has exploded, and most of the natural fauna and flora was damaged. Nearly 30 years have passed, and there is still some unnatural behavior coming from the forest. Some people have also stated that they have witnessed UFO sightings in the area.

2. Dark Entry Forest

The Village of the Damned, also known as Dudley Town, is a very strange place in Cornwal, Connecticut. Initially it was a thriving community known as Owsbury, but strange sightings, murders and mass suicides started to be reported. It was also said that most of the town’s people suffered from hallucinations with demons. Obviously, the simple-minded peasant could only conclude that the town was cursed, so people started to move away… or die. (scientists later explained that the residents must have succumbed to mass hysteria or indulge to too much contaminated groundwater which lead to their deaths… or maybe there is indeed something out there). The fact of the matter is that the thick forest that sits in the shadow of the Bald, Woodbury and Coltsfoot Mountains is patrolled by a group known as the Dark Entry Forest Group. The forest is unnaturally quiet, and there have been reports of orbs, lights and unusual sounds coming from it.

3. Hoia-Baciu Forest

Situated in the picturesque country of Romania, near the city of Cluj Napoca, there is a lesser known Bermuda Triangle: the Hoia-Baciu Forest. I’m not a great believer in ghost stories, UFOs or anything of the sort, but this particular forest caught my attention. For those who are passionate about the  inexplicable, the following occurrences will probably excite you. There have been some strange reports regarding intertwined trees, paranormal activity, strange lights and extra-terrestrial creatures:

  • It all started when Emil Barnea captured a photo of an UFO, hovering above the tree tops.  The images were analyzed and considered authentic by specialists in UFO sightings. It was considered that Emil Barnea had paranormal powers. Also, the witches from the neighboring villages also consider that the forest is enchanted. They refer to it as a world between worlds.
  • The fact that there are certain trees from which strange liquid flows (like lava), but the next they there is nothing. There have also been reports of trees that entwine one day, but are straight the next one.
  • Symbols on the ground which look a lot like the simple pictographs from the crop circles made by aliens
  • strange sounds, and people who “dematerialize” (we know it sounds strange but bear with us). In the photo you will also see a strange creature, or spirit in the background.

Are they Nothing but Urban Myths?

According to historians, these strange sightings have nothing to do with the “traditions” of the area, and they are nothing but urban myths. The UFO photographs taken by Emil Barnea are that of a 15 cm plate thrown in the air, and the trees could be an effect of radiation. Daniel Roxin considers that not everybody can feel the strange phenomena and vibrations of the forest, and one must be receptive to them. Fact or fiction? We may never know.

Top 10 Independent Horror Films

October 28, 2011 By Vernon Gadson Leave a Comment

An independent film, in case you don’t know, is a film that is created mostly or entirely outside of the studio system. As such, “indies” are typically much more personal and much more daring and original than mainstream films, free from the tampering of a financially-concerned studio official. This of course pays off rather well for the horror genre, which is characteristically plagued by a lacking in originality; those studio heads only want the tits and the torture and the guts and the gore to be on display. Indeed, some of the best horrors ever made are indie films, whether they be B-movies, splatter-fests, zombie horrors or psychological chillers. So, let’s take a look at the ten best horror flicks to have ever gone through production without snobby studio heads constantly poking and nudging away at them; stay away, you money-grubbing swines!

10. “Paranormal Activity” (2009)

Budget:
$15,000

Plot:
In an attempt to capture footage of the supernatural entity they suspect is haunting their lovely suburban home, a young couple decide to film their everyday lives with a camcorder, with bloodcurdling results.

Why it’s amazing:
This super-low budget found-footage chiller from writer-director Oren Peli traumatised movie-going audiences the world over. Its deliberately slow pacing allows for a nail-bitingly tense mood as the supernatural goings-on (from doors moving to demonic possession) gradually become worse and worse. [Read more…]

Top Five Movie Prequels

August 10, 2011 By Vernon Gadson Leave a Comment

The word “prequel” does not exactly inspire happy thoughts; the world of movies has suffered enough from backstory explanations taking away from the tantalising mysteries that cinematic stories have previously held. They can ruin narratives, wreck deliberate ambiguity and are, for the most part, shoddy and pointless. You only have to look at the drab and boring second “Star Wars” trilogy or the excruciating “Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd” to see that prequels can majorly suck anus when handled badly (as they usually are). But when handled with care and attention, they can enlighten a story and give it more weight and meaning, shining a light on the unknown pasts of major plotlines and characters.

Last Friday (August 5) saw Rupert Wyatt’s sci-fi “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” hitting US cinemas, the film serving as an explanation of how the apes, well, rose and sparked “Planet of the Apes” (1968). The film has received quite a bit of critical acclaim, evidently one of the few prequels that have been managed with that care and attention. To mark this, I’ve taken a look at the top five prequels that successfully expand upon the stories of their predecessor(s), instead of inhaling the contents of their forerunners’ bowels.
