Hoia Baciu forest near Cluj-Napoca is a seemingly quiet woodland that became famous in 1968 when a UFO was photographed right above it. After that, strange lights were spotted at night and inexplicable energy was recorded in the area. Even the vegetation looks weird in some parts and some say it's haunted, with paranormal activity. Let's go on a night tour to see it!
The tour is not supposed to be scary, it is a presentation tour. But part of the presentation is also a list of the inexplicable things.

Hoia Baciu forest near Cluj-Napoca is a seemingly quiet woodland that became famous in 1968 when a UFO was photographed right above it. After that, strange lights were spotted at night and inexplicable energy was recorded in the area. Even the vegetation looks weird in some parts and some say it's haunted with paranormal activity. We will walk for about 3.5 km (shorter version of the tour is possible). Our destination is Poiana Rotunda or the Round Clearing, the place that is the most famous of them all.

Alex was a great guide. Very knowledgeable about Rumanian folklore and the history of the forest. The tour was really entertaining, he maintained a calm energy and allowed us to spook ourselves and come to our own conclusions. Definitely a must if you visit Cluj. A rather different and unique honeymoon experience.

Alex will cater your nightly adventure with your expectations. He won't summon a UFO or strigoi or woodland fairy but his ability to communicate and alleviate it with humor will make this nightly stroll through Hoia Baciu Forest a breeze. I would say his belief in the supernatural is more 50-50 than he was willing to confess. This was fine because this is my belief and I am a person who needs to see it to believe it myself. I just wanted to be in the clearing and see this natural/unnatural phenomenon for myself. I would highly recommend this nightly tour but avoid late June because the local city uses the forest for a nightly 5k/10k yearly city run. We missed this by a day and having many people in the forest may ruin the experience for you. As far as my experience, I had an extremely deep migraine and heard a hum that was throbbing in my head when we first passed through the first road and into the proper part of the forest away from the opening mouth. My vision got hazy and the recent sunset was darkening the forest and my eyes were playing tricks on me. Alex kept mentioning that it was a clear night but I was seeing a fog and I kept seeing a black blotchy figure dancing all over the forest just a few meters from where Alex was stopping and telling us his first story. It passed after sunset was complete and the forest became dark but it definitely felt like something was watching us but innocently, like a child camping nearby with their parents and just stumbled onto us. My fiance took an innocent picture and I thought I saw something. I have attached the photo. Maybe it's pareidolia but I swear I see a cute fairy face, that I joked looked like Stitch from Lilo and Stitch. Also, I took a picture in the clearing and it was perfectly clear but random smoke and a pink-ish haze appeared. Again, I need to see it to believe it when I am there and since I didn't see these things until after the fact, I won't believe anything but it's fun to think things were happening during our tour. I hope to do it again with Alex during the daytime or take more people during the nightly tour. Kudos, Alex. Keep living the dream!

Alex was awesome. Super knowledgeable about every detail of the forest and his country of Romania. The experience was so unique, it was the seasons first snow and the moon was high and bright and illuminated the whole forest without the need of flashlights or headlamps. It was cold, with snow and fogg which added to the mystique of the forest. You can tell Alex is very passionate about what he does and picking his brain was the best part. Thanks for a great experience!
