Hoia Baciu Forest

          The Hoia Baciu Forest (pronounced hoya bachu) is located in Romania. This forest is considered one of the most haunted forests in the world and is often referred to as the Bermuda Triangle of Romania. Many strange reports about this forest have been filed from ghosts appearing in photos, to UFO sightings, to local lore saying that the devil himself lives in the forest. 
          Skeptics might say the accounts are bogus, but others beg to differ. People brave enough to enter this forest claim to have high anxiety levels, dizziness, scratches, and unexplained burns. Witnesses have also reported strange balls of light, oddly warped trees (some appearing like fish hooks at the base of the trunk, also with unexplained char marks on them), and unsettling voices and giggles coming from nowhere.
          This forest is a paranormal high ground. If you want to read more stories, here is the link where I got the information: https://hoiabaciuforest.com/
          This forest Evokes Emotion because reading about it made me feel uneasy but also intrigued to want to visit this location. The stories about this forest are becoming more and more popular around the world.

Dehli Purple Sapphire

          The Dehli Purple Sapphire is a stone from India that is supposedly cursed. The stone itself is also not sapphire at all; it is amethyst. The stone wad found in the Temple of Indra in 1857 by British explorers during the Indian Mutiny.
          Indra is the Hindu god of War and it is said that a curse was placed on the stone when it was removed from the temple. The explorer who removed the stone had terrible luck along with his family, supposedly because of the gem. Every owner who has had possession of the gem has also had terrible luck.
          This gem is Enlightening because of the knowledge that is learned about the gem itself and some of the Hindu culture.
