The Crooked Forest, known in Polish as Krzywy Las, sits near the town of Gryfino in western Poland. It holds roughly 400 pine trees whose trunks bend sharply at the base before curving back upward. The trees were planted in the 1930s, and the cause of the distinctive curvature remains unexplained.
that’s not what my auntie said in 1999:
✨ there is a powerful earth-energy line going trough and all the trees have to get out of the way of the line and bow down ✨
she actually believed this. I’ve been major impressed by the power of that invisible energy so that I still think of it when I myself see bended trees
We still tell children ancient myths like that.
“That is the ears of a troll.” “A house nisse is making that noise in the attic.” Fairy rings, witches snot, elves dancing, all that stuff.
I’ve seen shit like this where they claim some pseudo science explanation like a warp in gravity. Even as a kid, I knew that was bullshit, because the earth it like really massive, so why would one special spot be affected? Tree sickness makes a lot more sense.
This comment reminded me that I used to be terrified of husnissar when I was a kid.
Me too. I remember asking my mom something like “Why TF are we feeding this thing porridge?!”. “So it won’t mess with us.”
“Why doesn’t dad just kick it’s ass, shoot it or set up a trap?”
Scariest part of going to the outside bathroom at the cabin as a kid.
All things serve the beam
