Remember the 1999 movie The Blair Witch Project? Made to look like a sort of documentary, it was fake nonetheless. However, I found a mystery that reminds me a lot of the woods in The Blair Witch Project: The Clapham Wood. It is located on the outskirts of Clapham, a small town in the center of the UK, with a population of only 300 people.
The following video is a short documentary on the Clapham Wood. There’s a part two if you’re interested, but basically, all you need to know is in this first video.
I personally love forest mysteries. I think forests are special and spiritual to begin with. Although The Blair Witch Project freaked me out (I’m not a horror person), I’ve seen it multiple times. I’ve read books where woods played a critical role and they always inspire me. Do woods inspire you (in any way)?
At one point in the video, Walker talks about people falling ill due to high magnetism in the area. This reminded me a lot of the Zone of Silence in Mexico, where high magnetic readings had been found too, and just like the Zone of Silence, reports of UFO sightings are through the roof. Perhaps this is what is going on – the Clapham Wood could be on one of those spots where the Earth simply is a lot more magnetic than in other places. Perhaps that’s what caused the missing people to become lost, maybe because the magnetism scrambled their inner navigation workings.
Or, do you think they were simply taken by the satanic cult, the Friends of Hectane (a goddess), that practice the occult in the forest, perhaps for their rituals?
And what about the strange symbols that had been found carved into trees?
Or do you think Charles Walker is just plain nuts?
Please share your thoughts and ideas about this interesting phenomenon.
