Mysteries Discovered in the Wilderness

You shouldn't be ashamed of your artistic skills, buds. Art isn't just drawing or painting. Art is anything you apply your personality to, like telling a story, writing a book, training a horse to do tricks, creating an awesome video etc. These videos are your art. Be proud and keep it up! From beautiful Burnaby, British Columbia 😊💜.

Pertaining to the bent trees, I’ve seen a very strong wind lay down several young trees at my home, to the point I thought they were going to die but they kept growing and took on a similar but not exactly the same look to them. The fact that they all are bent the same direction allows for something similar.

I’m surprised hearing that the bent trees haven’t be heard of anywhere else on earth. I’m from Newfoundland Canada and there’s a park about 3.5 hours outside St. John’s (the capitol city) quite literally called crooked tree park. The trees not only cure but there are some that are grown bent at a complete 360 degrees. There a photos of me as a child sitting in one of the tree curves. So it’s definitely not a “once in a lifetime” phenomenon. It exists. Just on another continent. Also, being from Canada, I remember when Anton came home. It was of course all over the news. Although extremely interesting, and almost inspired that he had managed such a journey, he only started walking one night because he is a person with paranoid schizophrenia and had recently stopped his medication. According to his mother and brother (Stefan), Anton would often stop talking his medication but they were able to intervene in time enough to get him back to his daily regimen. I’m assuming from experience with my family members, this was because he felt better, and figured he no longer needed his medication rather than feeling better because of the medication. Either way this was what had happened in this case, and because he had decided to start walking, over time his symptoms got increasing worse which is what they think led him to continue on his journey.

We'll never have it all figured out, but it's so interesting to explore, become aware of amazing things in nature, and learn something new every day!

Am I the only one who watches this when I don’t want to talk to anyone or see anyone?

The crooked forest is the perfect place to build a crooked house with crooked pillars, crooked roof, crooked stairwell, crooked everything, in a 90 degree bend and anyone who visits you will be so annoyed that they will never visit you. In the meantime, you can enjoy the peace and quiet of solitude in that ideal hermit home you've established 😃

After watching this I honestly do want to go on a wilderness hunt of my own and see if I can find any mysterious items or locations. You just never know what is out there waiting to be discovered! Thank you for this clip and information.

I enjoyed the stories of mysteries a lot, but far more the clever writing and sense of humor that drove the speaker. Very creative and made the viewing really fun. Thanks!

We have several trees in our area that are bent. One of the largest ones is in the middle of our walking park in the center of town. The trees here were all bent by a large tornado over 20 years ago and most of them have been left to grow in remembrance of those that were lost.

Before I ever saw those trees, I made trees like that, unintentionally. I did not want to climb for mulberries, so, I tied saplings down, but, they kept reaching for the Sun. Later, I found they made comfortable seats.

being a outdoors man , hunter and fisherman my whole life i have seen a lot of strange things in the woods in 4 different states . but the one that i love is called 'foxfire' in northen mi . it is wood that glows green at night ! most of the wood is small and all of it is rutting . was told it was some mineral and fugus that got in the wood as it was rotting and that is why it glows green . and yes i have picked it up but not long after you tuch it it stops glowing !

As for the crooked trees that mysteriously grow in Poland, there's another area like that in Romania called Hola Baciu forest.

This was a fascinating collection, exceptionally curated and perfectly narrated. Thank you for the work that must have gone into researching, editing and scripting this video. Cheers!

The bent trees are common where winter snow is deep. The thing unusual is the entire area was planted at the same time so the same one winter storm with sudden heavy wet snow, laid them all over at the same time and in the same direction. Go anyplace alpine near the treeline and you will find those bent trees.

Crooked Forrest Poland-- those pines were warped by snowfall. The same thing happened to pine sapplings on and around my family farm in Schley co GA after a freak blizzard in 1973-- Many of the trees were young pines bent by snowdrifts and decades later retained that same shape.

I feel for Anton, I hope he has since been allowed to visit that library.

aww I feel sorry for that canadian who walked to argentina to visit the library in buenos aires and then wasn't allowed inside. :( his brother should have taken him back to buenos aires with documents and a non-dishevelled makeover to visit the library.

There are still a few trees left in my City that are bent as well. Not quite the same way...they were bent with a sharp bend to point the Natives to the river. Its really neat to still be able to see em 100+ yrs later & still guiding towards the waterway.

I went camping last year 2021, near Hart Mountain Oregon. 100 miles from the nearest city or town. Was with some friends, no one else around near our camp. At night the wind picked up, me and a few people heard someone walking around outside our tents telling us in a sinister soft voice saying "Stay Awake, hey wake up." It kept saying that all night. Scared the hell out of me as the footsteps paced back and fourth. I wasn't the only one who heard it, my friend she heard the same thing. Never again will I camp out in the wilderness again.

The sculptures by Thomas Dambo are my favorite. How whimsical and magical!! The trolls and woodland creatures are a perfect addition to and chunk of forest. Tho the troll with the bucket near the lake is my absolute favorite
