Mysteries of the Woods

The mysteries of the Woods lives within the senses of our own minds. I have spent most of the day researching haunted forest, haunted woods, haunted trees and ghost stories relating to each of them. I finally stopped my search and decided to write my own thoughts. I have came to the conclusion that it is not the forest or the woods that are haunted but instead left over energies from horrible things that have happened in the woods and the forest.

As an example:

I read one story when these people wanted to play a prank on their friends. So they when into the woods close to where they lived and found a haunted area and made scratch marks and sprayed with red paint to make it look like blood. When they returned to this spot with their friends, the red spray paint and the scratches both had disappeared. I have read stories where people were hung from trees and bodies had been murdered and place by trees. I believe all of these cases of horrific tales where the ghost of the misfortunate victims linger on and haunt these woods.

The woods are also where many rituals are performed. Many times when rituals are done; going deep into the woods and connecting with the earth element increases the strength of the ritual. With that being said, as sad as it is; if a ritual is done in a way that is not for the higher good, the energy created from this ritual could also leave behind a negative energy.

Now my husband found a few interesting places:

The Black Forest region (located in Germany) is blessed with a particularly rich mythological landscape. It is said to be haunted by werewolves, sorcerers, witches and the devil in differing guises. Helpful dwarves try to balance the scales. To read more about the Black Forest in Germany click here: BlackForest

The Aokigahara Forest (located in Japan) They come here never to leave again. For centuries they have come to the Sea of Trees. What drives them here, and why do they wish to die? Located on the bottom of Mt. Fuji is a haunting forest. While from a standpoint it is quite breathtaking and almost serene, within these velvety trees is a sinister evil.
