STORY
A place where the normal embraces
the paranormal... in an absolutely irresistible harmony.

Hoia-Baciu Forest, one of the
most mysterious places in the world, lays a few kilometers away from the city of
Cluj-Napoca, also known as the "heart of Transylvania". Locals nearby are
familiar with the strange powers detained by the forrest. The phenomenas
manifested there, beyond their power of understanding, prompted them not to ask
reckless questions. Because of fear, the forest remained, for a long period
of time, shrouded in the unknown. Until the
‘60s, when biologist Alexandru Sift began an intense study of the phenomenas manifested
there, in an attempt to solve the mystery. In 1968, newspapers around the world
published the wonderful photos of an UFO that has just flown over the area. The
photos were studied in research institutes from Europe and the US, all cataloging
the picture as authentic. Since then, Hoia-Baciu Forest has become a living
legend.

The strange
shaped trees, twisted by forces from another world, accompanied by the
lugubrious atmosphere, are a treat for every thrill-seeker. The forest is
crowded by tree trunks of six pairs (or more) that spring from the same root,
bent toward the ground, with their crowns patting the enigmatically soil, in an
attempt to beg for death.
Events beyond the limits of reason, from
the embodiement and dematerialization of objects and people to UFO-type
appearances. Strange cases that have fascinated and continues to attract
generations of researchers of the unknown. Because of the rhythmicity of the paranormal
manifestations and the great number of undeniably evidence, Hoia-Baciu Forest
remains one of the most mysterious places in the world.

events that gave birth to the legend and to feel the imprint of a past stranger
than we have ever imagined. It’s time to seek the truth.
The unknown is calling us. We
will have the courage to answer?
PRESENT STAGE
The script, which involved a truly enormous
amount of research, is near to completion. It is written together with Rodica
Bretin, Romanian scientific researcher and award winning writer.
Also, along with the recruitment
of exceptional photos and videos, we got in touch with specialists in several fields
of expertise and with witnesses who are ready to recount their exceptional
experiences.
Filming is scheduled for July
2015, in part because of the availability of the participants. Post-production
will be completed, most likely, this Fall. Then, the documentary will be
screened at several locations in Romania, facilitating the direct public
contact with some of those involved, including the experts. Subsequently, it
will be available for free viewing online, subtitled in English.
UPDATE: Sleepaway Camp legend John Altyn will be one of the producers. He will also be in charge of the music department.

Almost two
years ago, our team made a documentary about the most mysterious places in Romania,
exclusively from personal funds. Among
the people we worked with there were TV producers, specialists in paranormal
phenomena and award winning writers. You can watch the full video here.
Unfortunately, it’s not subtitled in English. We hope that we will be able to translate it as well.

Since we made it from
personal funds, we did not manage to finalize all the basic ideas as
intended, including translating it into English.
Therefore, this time we want to do a professional project that would meet all
the criteria of an excellent documentary.
