In some ways, the forest is like the ocean, a vast expanse where you can get lost while traversing. At some point, you will stumble upon something interesting (to say the least), like the images in these photos. 

Some of these odd discoveries are byproducts of natural occurrences. Others, however, may make you wonder about the fascinating backstory of how these objects landed in this neck of the woods (in the most literal sense).

This series of photos continues the ones Bored Panda collected previously. Scroll away to see which ones intrigue you the most.

How much do we know about our forests? As it turns out, even scientists aren't sure. Most have mere estimates of how much life exists in those tree canopies around the globe. 

According to the World Wildlife Fund, here's an approximate: "We don't know how many tree species there are on Earth, but scientists estimate there are about 63,000 known species. There could be as many as 9,000 tree species still unknown to science."

These forest finds are just some of the many usually unearthed by hikers or experts. In 2023, a group of archeologists found the remains of a Yotvingian settlement. The Yotvingians were an ancient Baltic tribe that existed until the 1400s. 

According to a report by the Miami Herald, archeologists from the University of Warsaw found traces of Yotvingian inhabitants through the style of bronze jewelry they found in a Polish forest. They eventually discovered jewelry dating back to the 10th and 12th centuries.

Black Cat On A Leather Chair In The Woods

Black Cat On A Leather Chair In The Woods

One time I was on a random back road. There was a little paved path going up to a leather armchair in the middle of a pretty thick little woods. On the arm of the chair was a black cat, bathing in the sun's rays. It felt unreal, like straight out of a book. I didn’t dare get any closer, as I figured that a witch must live nearby.

If you think seeing these images randomly on a hike or random walk through the woods is already jolting enough, try spending a night in a creepy forest. That was what writer Sophie Buchan did in Transylvania’s Hoia-Baciu Forest. And she described her experience in an article in The Independent

The Hoia-Baciu has a deep history, beginning with a UFO sighting in 1968. From then on, it became a tourist attraction. However, according to Buchan’s article, these visitors suddenly experienced strange occurrences.

According to Buchan, some of the “strange symptoms” that people supposedly go through include “nausea, anxiety, the feeling of being watched – and the failure of electronic devices.” Joggers also reportedly witness ongoing ectoplasms.  

Buchan also shared a story from her guide, Alex, who, along with his colleague Marius, experienced something out of this world. “Well, there was a man who went crazy, thinking he’d met a demon. He’d just got a massive tattoo of a demon on his chest, to ward off demons.”

In November of 1983, a combination of poor weather and alcohol led to the crash of a small Cessna 414A plane, killing all on board. The wreckage of a deadly 1983 plane crash that has drawn visitors to the area for years was removed via helicopter June 27 by the National Park Service from its resting place near the Blue Ridge Parkway. Unauthorized “social trail” access to the site by visitors has created increasing safety and environmental concerns as the sight has become covered in graffiti and many hikers to the site have become lost and injured.

Buchan likewise wrote about what Alex described as “the scariest thing that happened.” It involved Marius during a night tour and an unusual conversation with a tourist.

“He once did an extended night tour, one-on-one, with a very morbid man who talked about his obsession with death, how he enjoyed being with people as they die, watching them die.”

According to Buchan, Alex isn’t a fan of sleeping in the forests because of his fair share of chilling experiences. During his very first camping trip, he abruptly woke up to the sound of “a very loud hoof noise,” which he thought came either from a horse or a “particularly large deer.” 

“Every time they would stick their head out from the tent to investigate, the noise would stop,” she wrote, recalling Alex’s experiences. “The next time, he slept in a hammock to get closer to whatever was causing the sound. His visit was cut short when a bat smashed into his face.”

I was in the woods detecting in an area with heavy iron today (1800s nails in the ground, scrap iron bits, and sheet metal bits), and to my amazement, found dentures made of gold. Not sure how old they are, but my guess is somewhere in the 1800s up to the 1940s, since the homes which were once nearby were gone by the mid-1940s.

The author wrote about her experience during her overnight stay at the Hoia-Baciu forest. While she didn’t have the same creepy encounters, she took more notice of the trees around. 

“We point our flashlights at misshapen trees – many here grow in zig-zag patterns or in spirals, a phenomenon which has not been plausibly explained by any of the scientists who have come to investigate. What’s more, every single tree that spirals does so in a clockwise direction.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laetiporus Laetiporus is a genus of edible mushrooms found throughout much of the world. Some species, especially Laetiporus sulphureus, are commonly known as Sulphur shelf, chicken of the woods, the chicken mushroom, or the chicken fungus because it is often described as tasting like and having a texture similar to that of chicken meat. Description Laetiporus sp. from Anamalai Hills, Southern Western Ghats, India Individual "shelves" range from 5 to 25 centimetres (2 to 10 inches) across. These shelves are made up of many tiny tubular filaments (hyphae). The mushroom grows in large brackets; some have been found that weigh over 45 kilograms (100 pounds). Young fruiting bodies are characterized by a moist, rubbery, Sulphur-yellow to orange body sometimes with bright orange tips. Older brackets become pale and brittle almost chalk-like, mildly pungent, and are often dotted with beetle or slug/woodlouse holes.

“Invasive alien species are increasingly a problem for European forests.” This is according to an article by the European Environment Agency on the eight facts about Europe’s forest ecosystems. But they weren’t referring to extraterrestrials. 

“There are around 1,800 species in Europe’s forests which are invasive and alien to the natural environment. For example, European forests have been devastated by Dutch elm disease caused by fungi introduced from Asia, and gray squirrels are outcompeting red squirrels. Globally, invasive alien species are one of the largest causes of biodiversity loss.”

A Few Years Back Me And My Friends Found This Peeking Behind A Tree In The Woods Deep Behind A Friend’s House

A Few Years Back Me And My Friends Found This Peeking Behind A Tree In The Woods Deep Behind A Friend’s House

I was camping with some friends in the woods behind another friend’s house. Halfway through the night, I decided to get some more firewood for the campfire. On my way back, I felt like I was being watched. It was a half-moon, so there was enough light for me to barely see around me. As I looked around, my eyes fell on a person’s face poking from behind a tree.

The face was horrifying, pale with hollow eyes and a gaping mouth. I dropped everything and ran, and when I came back to my group, I was panicked and scared. After telling them what happened, my friends decided they wanted to see it for themselves, and brought me with them. I was hesitant, but going with a group seemed better than being alone. We brought flashlights this time, and when we came to the place I saw the face, it was still there. After shining the light on it, we saw it was just a styrofoam head on a stick someone out behind the tree. It looked like it had been there for a while, with some green moss growing on it, discoloration, etc.

The scariest part about this was my friend (whose house was in front of the woods we were in) swore up and down he didn’t put it there. He was pretty shaken. Especially because he and his mom had been stalked a few months before and he was sure it was left by the guy.

And if you want to see something you probably haven’t before, Moroccan tree goats are worth looking into. Yes, you read that right. Goats are standing in trees as if it were a daily forest sighting worldwide. 

These “flying goats” have been a tourist attraction since the early 2000s. But while they have become a source of livelihood for locals, some believe they are being exploited and deprived of freedom.

My Husband And I Went For A Walk In A Forest In Germany And Found Some Weird Stones

My Husband And I Went For A Walk In A Forest In Germany And Found Some Weird Stones

So today we went back to the site where we found the stones, contacted the local park ranger, and met him there. He brought a shovel, cause he was intrigued by the stones and wanted to see if he could find more, told us to step back because you really shouldn’t dig in a forest, since there could be some old World War munition and if he blew himself up that would be okay, but if it hit us he‘d have papers to fill out. Good old German humor. He found some big concrete stones and then he found a headstone! So, yes, it was a gravestone! Just someone who illegally dumped the headstone of „Hulda and Friedrich Teitge“ who died in 1957 and 1925 in the forest 30ish years ago, after the rent for their grave was up. We were told the stones would be picked up and a short research would be made to find out where they have been buried and if they can find relatives, but that’s it because they‘ve been here a while. He said there was no graveyard, if they had been illegally buried, the boars would have dug them out a long time ago. That’s all. Mystery solved.

A pumpkin stuffed with pennies can symbolize hope or a threat, depending on the area. The pumpkin represents fall, which is a time of change, and the pennies represent the low wages earned by the working class. This is an old world symbol of "eat the rich".

What Is This 25-Foot-Tall Concrete Structure In The Woods?

What Is This 25-Foot-Tall Concrete Structure In The Woods?

I found this structure in the woods behind the Apalachia Powerhouse in Reliance, TN. It’s at least 25 feet tall, has three holes in the ceiling, and is nowhere near water or a main road. No other structures are nearby.

A Week Ago, I Was Walking In The Woods Again And I Saw This

A Week Ago, I Was Walking In The Woods Again And I Saw This

So about a month ago, I discovered this path in the woods by my school. I really didn’t think anything of it, it just led to a cool pond area and a walking trail. But if you go into the woods a bit deeper, you find a bunch of chairs all sat around the remnants of a fire.

Some of the chairs were hanging upside down from trees, and it was just a really eerie thing to see but I didn’t think much of it, probably that it was just an abandoned site of some college party from a few years back or something.

Sadly, I was/am too much of a chicken to investigate further so I did what the sign said and left, but I’ve thought about it every day since. Any ideas as to what it might be?

Definitely a jaw harp also known as a jews harp, I have one and occasionally bring it out to annoy people, but my dogs love it.

Marked the coordinates on my Garmin, but never actually went back. Just felt weird and really creeped me out, given how far off-trail and how deep in the woods I was.

Workers job box to keep tools in so they don't have to pack them in and out everyday. Don't be an a*s and just leave it alone.

It is a gall, a growth that appears when insects lay their eggs on trees or plants.

Found In The Forest. Did I Stumble Across Someone's Place Of Practice?

Found In The Forest. Did I Stumble Across Someone's Place Of Practice?

Sorry if I say anything insensitive or uneducated. I was raised Mormon and only recently started educating myself on other practices and beliefs.

I found two "huts" in the forest. The first three pictures are from the one I found today. The last three were found a few months ago. Both were made by tying thin branches together. Both contained logs painted blue and purple. Both had what I would describe as charms hanging from the branches. Both had a pot left in them. The fifth picture has a symbol that may mean something. Is this pagan? Is it disrespectful for me to go inside them?

Honestly to be safe I would not touch or go in them. The items/structures appear to be still in use. All Holy places and items of any faith should be treated with reverence. Interesting photos.

These are Torma. They are sculptures made mostly of flour and butter used in tantric rituals or as offerings in Tibetan Buddhism

It’s suspiciously written in English instead of Japanese. So i guess it’s a tourist prank?
