40+ Strange Things People Have Stumbled Across In The Forest

The forest is a magical place. As you wander through the sun dappled paths, you’re greeted by the sights of deer nibbling on grass, and a general feeling of peacefulness. In Germany, that feeling of being alone in the woods is called ‘waldeinsamkeit.’ Nobody wants to feel scared, or slightly uneasy when they do their forest bathing. It’s also important to get that perfect ‘selfie’ shot to be uploaded to your social media accounts.

Sometimes though, as you wander through the woods you come across some pretty strange sights. It could be something innocuous like an abandoned car, that the forest is slowly reclaiming or something even stranger. Have you ever seen a robot in the woods? Or a dinner party that looks like it was interrupted, and then abandoned?

These are just some of the strange things that people have stumbled across. After doing some thorough research, we have discovered some of the oddest things that people have seen. Luckily for us, they remembered to document these strange happenings with a camera for everyone to examine. Keep reading to see some pretty strange sights, and try and imagine the story behind them. Who truly knows what is happening here.

An Abandoned House

When you go for a walk through the woods, you don’t expect to find an abandoned house in the middle of nowhere. This very spooky home was found by hikers in Russia and it looks like the start of every horror movie. First, there will be a back story about a happy family who unknowingly moved into the haunted house.

Then, the film will fast forward and we will see what the house really looks like. You can only imagine what kind of ghosts, and terrifying things are just waiting to be discovered by anyone brave enough to enter. Trust your gut, and stay away from this place.

After Seeing This, I Would Probably Run

The person who took this photograph had recently moved from the suburbs into the country and decided to roam the woods in his backyard when he came across this.

By the side of a trail, on the dirt itself, someone spray painted the word “run” in capital letters. This sent us chills down our spines. Why would anyone write that?

Out Of Place Octopus

This image left us with a lot of questions. There is a dead octopus on a wood branch in the woods. The person who uploaded this picture told us that the area was marked off.

Why would anyone leave an octopus in the forest? Did something happen there that people are not allowed to walk by? Stranger things have happened.

It: Chapter 1

Hi Georgie, don’t you want a balloon? This balloon stuck in the weeds reminds us of Pennywise from “It” and we find it very scary. But if it’s any consolation, this probably wasn’t left there by a killer clown.

Balloons are inflated with helium which makes them float away quickly if you don’t hold them down. Time to float!
