Spooky

Woodlands often feel unsettling when the sun goes down. Thick canopies block out light, and sounds carry strangely between the trees, so it's no surprise that so many of them are considered to be haunted.

Some of these locations also have long histories filled with strange disappearances, tragic events, and unexplained sightings. Others have been the center of old folklore about witches, fairies, and monsters that locals still talk about today.

In this gallery, we take a look at some of the most famous haunted forests from around the world and the strange stories behind them. Click through to learn more about them.
