50 Of The Most Interesting And Bizarre Things People Have Found In The Forest (New Pics)
In some ways, the forest is like the ocean, a vast expanse where you can get lost while traversing. At some point, you will stumble upon something interesting (to say the least), like the images in these photos.
Some of these odd discoveries are byproducts of natural occurrences. Others, however, may make you wonder about the fascinating backstory of how these objects landed in this neck of the woods (in the most literal sense).
This series of photos continues the ones Bored Panda collected previously. Scroll away to see which ones intrigue you the most.

How much do we know about our forests? As it turns out, even scientists aren't sure. Most have mere estimates of how much life exists in those tree canopies around the globe.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, here's an approximate: "We don't know how many tree species there are on Earth, but scientists estimate there are about 63,000 known species. There could be as many as 9,000 tree species still unknown to science."

These forest finds are just some of the many usually unearthed by hikers or experts. In 2023, a group of archeologists found the remains of a Yotvingian settlement. The Yotvingians were an ancient Baltic tribe that existed until the 1400s.
According to a report by the Miami Herald, archeologists from the University of Warsaw found traces of Yotvingian inhabitants through the style of bronze jewelry they found in a Polish forest. They eventually discovered jewelry dating back to the 10th and 12th centuries.

Black Cat On A Leather Chair In The Woods
One time I was on a random back road. There was a little paved path going up to a leather armchair in the middle of a pretty thick little woods. On the arm of the chair was a black cat, bathing in the sun's rays. It felt unreal, like straight out of a book. I didn’t dare get any closer, as I figured that a witch must live nearby.

According to Buchan, some of the “strange symptoms” that people supposedly go through include “nausea, anxiety, the feeling of being watched – and the failure of electronic devices.” Joggers also reportedly witness ongoing ectoplasms.
Buchan also shared a story from her guide, Alex, who, along with his colleague Marius, experienced something out of this world. “Well, there was a man who went crazy, thinking he’d met a demon. He’d just got a massive tattoo of a demon on his chest, to ward off demons.”

If you're ever in Santa Cruz, CA, take the spring trail through pogonip. There's a connecting trail that takes hikers to an area with a huge rock garden. Walking into it feels somewhat holy, as I imagine church feels to some others. People have been leaving their prayers written on small pieces of paper tucked into the rocks there for years. Just down the trail from there is a koi pond. In the middle of the woods. People sometimes leave Buddha statues or cans of fish food. This is one of my favorite hikes!

A Plane Crash I Hiked To In North Carolina
Mad Dragon 1 year ago
In November of 1983, a combination of poor weather and alcohol led to the crash of a small Cessna 414A plane, killing all on board. The wreckage of a deadly 1983 plane crash that has drawn visitors to the area for years was removed via helicopter June 27 by the National Park Service from its resting place near the Blue Ridge Parkway. Unauthorized “social trail” access to the site by visitors has created increasing safety and environmental concerns as the sight has become covered in graffiti and many hikers to the site have become lost and injured.

You need to know the medium they grow on. Giant puffballs such as in the photo are grassland (sometimes they forget where they are supposed to grow and you might find them occasionally in the woods). Your best bed is fields outside of the city, not parks. In parks you'll find smaller species and the the woods you'll usually find common puffballs, stump balls, etc (careful with the eartballs) it does also depend on where you live as species vary from country to country.

According to Buchan, Alex isn’t a fan of sleeping in the forests because of his fair share of chilling experiences. During his very first camping trip, he abruptly woke up to the sound of “a very loud hoof noise,” which he thought came either from a horse or a “particularly large deer.”
“Every time they would stick their head out from the tent to investigate, the noise would stop,” she wrote, recalling Alex’s experiences. “The next time, he slept in a hammock to get closer to whatever was causing the sound. His visit was cut short when a bat smashed into his face.”

First Gold Find For The Year And The Weirdest Find Of All Time
I was in the woods detecting in an area with heavy iron today (1800s nails in the ground, scrap iron bits, and sheet metal bits), and to my amazement, found dentures made of gold.

If they're that old, this is how they were made. I'm sure animal teeth were used and filed down. I know WAY back in the day, George Washingtons dentures were all metal with a spring on both jaw sides and the teeth were a mix of horse, cow and human. They're in a museum and there's pics online. They look so painfully dreadful - but it helped George eat. He couldn't speak well at all with them in and the pain made him unable to close his mouth well - plus being so awkward and big, it made his lower jaw jut outward.

I Finally Found My Very Own Chicken Tree
Spotted this fine specimen from the road. Had to have gotten 20 lbs of chicken without making a dent in it! Found in New Jersey.
Just-4-2day 1 year ago
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laetiporus Laetiporus is a genus of edible mushrooms found throughout much of the world. Some species, especially Laetiporus sulphureus, are commonly known as Sulphur shelf, chicken of the woods, the chicken mushroom, or the chicken fungus because it is often described as tasting like and having a texture similar to that of chicken meat. Description Laetiporus sp. from Anamalai Hills, Southern Western Ghats, India Individual "shelves" range from 5 to 25 centimetres (2 to 10 inches) across. These shelves are made up of many tiny tubular filaments (hyphae). The mushroom grows in large brackets; some have been found that weigh over 45 kilograms (100 pounds). Young fruiting bodies are characterized by a moist, rubbery, Sulphur-yellow to orange body sometimes with bright orange tips. Older brackets become pale and brittle almost chalk-like, mildly pungent, and are often dotted with beetle or slug/woodlouse holes.

If they got 20lbs, they damn near, if not completely, cleared the tree, that's sad (those are not heavy, at all, 20lbs is quite a bit). If you're going to go foraging, you really shouldn't clear out sources like this. Not only would it benefit other foragers who come behind you, but also the local wildlife and even the shroomies themselves because you drastically reduce their capability to reproduce. Please don't be a greedy ninny, but especially so when dealing with things that aren't quite as common, it's just rude, not impressive in the least.
Chips&FriedRice 1 year ago (edited)
They said they barely made a dent in it, so as long as they aren't lying, this would imply there was still a good amount left. Also, they may just be bad at guessing how much things weigh or were going off of sight as they said "had to" so they probably didn't actually weigh it at the time of posting. I do agree with your points if they did take it all tho

This Basket Stinkhorn I Found While Bushwalking

Looks just like a ball I bought for my cats, but I suppose it wouldn't be a good idea to bring it home.
“Invasive alien species are increasingly a problem for European forests.” This is according to an article by the European Environment Agency on the eight facts about Europe’s forest ecosystems. But they weren’t referring to extraterrestrials.
“There are around 1,800 species in Europe’s forests which are invasive and alien to the natural environment. For example, European forests have been devastated by Dutch elm disease caused by fungi introduced from Asia, and gray squirrels are outcompeting red squirrels. Globally, invasive alien species are one of the largest causes of biodiversity loss.”

A Few Years Back Me And My Friends Found This Peeking Behind A Tree In The Woods Deep Behind A Friend’s House
I was camping with some friends in the woods behind another friend’s house. Halfway through the night, I decided to get some more firewood for the campfire. On my way back, I felt like I was being watched. It was a half-moon, so there was enough light for me to barely see around me. As I looked around, my eyes fell on a person’s face poking from behind a tree.
The face was horrifying, pale with hollow eyes and a gaping mouth. I dropped everything and ran, and when I came back to my group, I was panicked and scared. After telling them what happened, my friends decided they wanted to see it for themselves, and brought me with them. I was hesitant, but going with a group seemed better than being alone. We brought flashlights this time, and when we came to the place I saw the face, it was still there. After shining the light on it, we saw it was just a styrofoam head on a stick someone out behind the tree. It looked like it had been there for a while, with some green moss growing on it, discoloration, etc.
The scariest part about this was my friend (whose house was in front of the woods we were in) swore up and down he didn’t put it there. He was pretty shaken. Especially because he and his mom had been stalked a few months before and he was sure it was left by the guy.

My Husband And I Went For A Walk In A Forest In Germany And Found Some Weird Stones
So today we went back to the site where we found the stones, contacted the local park ranger, and met him there. He brought a shovel, cause he was intrigued by the stones and wanted to see if he could find more, told us to step back because you really shouldn’t dig in a forest, since there could be some old World War munition and if he blew himself up that would be okay, but if it hit us he‘d have papers to fill out. Good old German humor. He found some big concrete stones and then he found a headstone! So, yes, it was a gravestone! Just someone who illegally dumped the headstone of „Hulda and Friedrich Teitge“ who died in 1957 and 1925 in the forest 30ish years ago, after the rent for their grave was up. We were told the stones would be picked up and a short research would be made to find out where they have been buried and if they can find relatives, but that’s it because they‘ve been here a while. He said there was no graveyard, if they had been illegally buried, the boars would have dug them out a long time ago. That’s all. Mystery solved.

A Week Ago, I Was Walking In The Woods Again And I Saw This
So about a month ago, I discovered this path in the woods by my school. I really didn’t think anything of it, it just led to a cool pond area and a walking trail. But if you go into the woods a bit deeper, you find a bunch of chairs all sat around the remnants of a fire.
Some of the chairs were hanging upside down from trees, and it was just a really eerie thing to see but I didn’t think much of it, probably that it was just an abandoned site of some college party from a few years back or something.
Sadly, I was/am too much of a chicken to investigate further so I did what the sign said and left, but I’ve thought about it every day since. Any ideas as to what it might be?

Found In The Forest. Did I Stumble Across Someone's Place Of Practice?
Sorry if I say anything insensitive or uneducated. I was raised Mormon and only recently started educating myself on other practices and beliefs.
I found two "huts" in the forest. The first three pictures are from the one I found today. The last three were found a few months ago. Both were made by tying thin branches together. Both contained logs painted blue and purple. Both had what I would describe as charms hanging from the branches. Both had a pot left in them. The fifth picture has a symbol that may mean something.

I found a mummified fox skull, still have it in the garage. Slightly worse for wear, didn’t manage to snag it for a couple days and it got chewed on a bit. One day I’ll get around to burying it so I can get it clean.

My BIL uses my sister's soup pot to boil off a skull. I never eat soup from her house.

Deep in the woods near where I live, you'll find the bodies of my enemies.

A bathtub. I was living in New Jersey and hiked frequently. Came across a bathtub resting at the side of a path one time. Nowhere near a trail head or parking lot.

I was born and raised in Montana. When I was 8, I found a on old cap and ball, octagonal barreled Remington pistol, that I still have today. (72 y.o.) I also walked miles into the mountains one summer and then hiked up to the tallest peak to look around. I was sitting on a rock at the top of this mountain, thinking I must be the only person to have ever climbed this mountain and when I got up to go home, I looked between my feet and there was a pair of sunglasses. So, only two of us have ever been to the top of that mountain.
