8 Strange Things Found Accidentally in Woods

Forests occupy 30% of the Earth’s total surface and most of this territory has not yet been explored. Therefore, often, walking through a park or an unexplored place, people find valuable and mysterious discoveries.

O awesome.club will tell the story of 8 strange objects that people discovered in the woods.

In 1990, a hunter was walking through Yellowwood State Forest in Indiana, USA, and found a good place to hunt. However, when he looked up he saw a huge rock high in a tree 25 meters high, which weighed at least 200 kg.

The hunter returned home and told of his strange discovery. The place gained popularity immediately, people started going into the forest to see and try to solve the mystery of how the stone got there. A little later, at the same place, 2 more stones were found (weighing about 100 kg) at a height of 15 meters.

It is known that trees cannot grow with stones, because plants cannot withstand their weight. The only explanation is that someone used heavy equipment to place rocks in the trees. But for what? It is unclear.

In 2016, archaeologist Semir Osmanagich found a mysterious spherical rock in the woods near the town of Zavidovici in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

To this day, it is the largest stone ball in Europe, with a radius of 1.2 to 1.5 meters, and an approximate weight of 30 tons. And, according to the estimates of archaeologists, it is more than 15,000 years old. Some researchers believe that the sphere may be the work of the hands of an ancient developed civilization and is a kind of totem.

Similar spheres have been found all over the world: on the arctic island of Champ, in the Kazakh village of Turysh, and the most famous were found in the 1930s in Costa Rica. But where did they come from? Nobody knows for sure.

It could serve as a script for a science fiction movie. In 2006, in the mountains of the Caucasian region of Adygea, a group of locals discovered a chest with the emblem “Anenerbe” (a secret Nazi organization), a map and two skulls of unknown creatures.

The chest with the leather handle, the emblem of the secret society “Anenerbe” and a rune-style inscription was found by a local hermit. The inscription Besondere Bekl itself means “special archive” or “particularly important”. But the chest was empty. A map of this region was also found with incredible accuracy. It even included the location of the trees! But what most impressed most scientists were the strange elongated skulls that could not be identified by DNA tests. That is, the creatures to which the skulls belonged are unknown to science.

This discovery was a real sensation. In 1996, near Mount Baigong in China, scientists discovered interconnected “iron tubes” up to 40 cm in diameter. These rusty pipes penetrate deep into the mountain. The analysis shows that the age of the artifact exceeds 5,000 years.

There is an assumption that this is an old water supply system or drainage system. But it is unclear who could have built it. In fact, the Chinese authorities have turned the pipe area into a tourist area. Nowadays, everyone can visit them.

In 2015, a truck driver driving through a woods in Ohio, USA, noticed a strange tree that was completely black and with flames of fire burning inside. Heads up! All other plants were intact. The man recorded a video that went viral on the network, and the tree was dubbed “diabolic”.

Later, experts explained that this usually happens when a tree is struck by lightning. The shell turns black and the interior temperature is preserved, which creates the eternal flame effect.

However, you should be careful with any findings. Once, two friends from Arkansas, also in the United States, found a strange round object in the woods. They intuited that it was a Civil War cannonball and decided to launch it to see if it was heavy. But they didn’t know how dangerous it was.

Having played enough, the boys took the object home and washed it with hot water. Afterwards, they went to the museum, where they received the information that it was not a projectile, but a mine from the US Civil War. It was equipped with sensitive security and could easily explode; luckily, that didn’t happen.

One of the Reddit users was walking through the woods near his house when he noticed a strange bronze mask near the creek. It had irregularities, corrosion and looked very old. The man decided to take it to the Minnesota Science Museum, where he hoped to get confirmation that the mask had some sort of historical value.

However, the museum expert said that most likely it was some kind of art project and someone left it there just a few weeks ago. It had no historical value, and rust appeared due to water and temperature changes. However, the man was still happy with his discovery and kept the mask in his personal collection.

Jason Freeman and his wife went for a walk in the woods, where they found a strange plant. Its leaves moved rhythmically from side to side, even though it was a windless day, even the leaves of the neighboring trees did not move. Then the man picked up a leaf and it began to swing again in a few seconds in his hand.

Jason recorded with his camera the strange plant to ask for an answer on the Internet and find out what kind of miracle it was. Soon, scientists explained the strange phenomenon. It turns out that some plants know how to capture weak wind currents, imperceptible to humans. This is due to the peculiarities of the leaf structure and occurs even with some indoor plants.
