The Bermuda Triangle of Transylvania

A real-life mystery forest full of strange lights, legends, and disappearances.

In the heart of Romania, just outside the city of Cluj-Napoca, lies a forest so infamous that locals often avoid it altogether. Known as Hoia Baciu, this dense, eerie woodland has earned a spine-tingling nickname: the Bermuda Triangle of Transylvania.

The forest’s reputation dates back to the 1960s, when a military technician captured a photo of a “flying saucer” hovering over the treetops. Soon after, reports of strange lights, ghostly apparitions, and unexplained burns on the forest floor began circulating.

Over the decades, Hoia Baciu has become a hotspot for paranormal researchers, ghost hunters, and UFO enthusiasts from around the world.
