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.

And yet ... are there any answers? What are the evidences? What have to say all the witnesses who have gone through seemingly incredible events? What are the latest expert opinions?

Hoias-Baciu Forest still has many secrets that attract, horrify and fascinate. It's time for you to know the 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.
