》》The CURSE FOREST in Halloween《《

England is a country especially marked by ancient magic, since the times of the first men in its immense forests, dark mysteries related to witchcraft and necromancy practices have been buried. Esotericism and black magic are practices that are carried out with an open secret, by sects that have their centers of activity in the thick vegetation.

His magnetism for mysteries, horror stories, and paranormal appearances has been the subjects of countless pages written over the centuries.

—And this one you are about to read is one of the most terrible and mysterious.—

For hundreds of years, the Dering Forest in the town of Pluckley, has developed the reputation of being one of the most evil places in Europe, despite the passing of the years it's gloomy fame has not waned, it is wooded has been the epicenter of multiple disappearances of people and terrifying events, which live in the oral memory of the inhabitants of the nearby towns. Legend has it that ghosts chase people who enter their boundaries alone.

At the gates of the driveway, a dark old wooden sign announces the terrifying warning to visitors:

"Anyone who enters the Dering forest is likely to have an experience that could mark him forever ..."

The oldest residents from nearby settlements, they claim to hear many times, shocking screams during the night, coming from the lush vegetation, footsteps, crawling chains and whispers during foggy days.

It is said that the forest traps the spirits of the people who were lost in it, its penitent souls claim new members from time to time, that is why it is also known as, the forest of screams and ghosts.

There are also thousands, the sightings of a highway robber who was captured by the peasants, nailed to a tree, and beheaded, as an example for anyone who dared to break the law in ancient times; in the 19th century a farmer shot himself in the temple, overwhelmed by the dark visions that prevented him from leaving the forest, his last words were —"I will"— and there are those who claim to hear these words of regret, to this day. 

They say that on black moon nights, you can hear the terrifying cry for help, from a dweller who lost his life crushed by a wall of heavy mud bricks. 

If these evidences still do not convince you of the negative energy that this site radiates, surrounded by a halo of pure evil accumulated since medieval times, when the first human settlement occurred in the areas near the existing forest, add to this infernal list , the death of a school teacher at the hands of his students, more than 100 years ago. 

The poor man was found hanged and bled, rotting on the branch of a huge tree. 

All these terrifying facts are real, and managed to survive the memory of time, in documents from the historical record of the forest guardians. 

 All of them turned the Dering Forest into something very dark, a place as macabre as a passageway to hell itself.

But pay attention, these terrible events are overshadowed, given the size of the true horror in the forest of Dering, the inhabitants of the place who know its history, know perfectly well that in the month of October they should not approach this gloomy woodland, especially in the days next to the celebration, in the Celtic culture of the Samhain, the night in which the dead return to our world, known in our times as Halloween, because this place with its dark history, is the center of the practice of witchcraft and invocation, most fearsome of the ancient continent.

It was the night of October 31, 1948, the inhabitants of the Pluckley village near Dering, observed in the distance a lot of strange lights in the depths of the plant mass, it was as if infernal torches ran the humid paths of the dark forest, the people who saw the creepy lights, did not dare to approach to inquire considering the late hour of the night. 

The next morning, a group of rangers, supported by some peasants, ventured to investigate the origin of the lights that many people saw the previous night, showing before them a dantesque staging of hell itself, which would disturb their souls forever, the remains of a huge bonfire could be smelled, surrounding the dreadful bonfire lie the mutilated bodies of some twenty people, including 11 corpses of children. 

They were killed during the execution of a satanic invocation ritual; incredibly the forensics could not specify a common cause for the deaths, of that perverse act. 

The massacre remained for years in an absolute unsolved mystery.

 In 1964, a private investigator managed to lay the groundwork for a file, which betrayed the alleged congregation of a religious sect in the woods on the precise day of the horrific massacre; however, his investigation was cut short by his sudden death in a car accident. 

The curse of the Dering Forest, continued to generate disturbing events, on Halloween night 1998, four young people who visited the disturbing forest center attracted by the proliferation of its dark history, disappeared without a trace, police reports indicate that that macabre night, was They had spotted lights deep inside the forest, similar to those presented on the day of the 1948 tragedy, despite intense searches with peasant locals in support of the police, the lifeless bodies were never found, endorsing yet another enigma to the mysterious forest. 

At least 20 years have passed since the last event, but the grim events do not stop, every Halloween the inhabitants of the surrounding towns, with a deep collective panic wonder what the new terrifying story will be, from the forest of screaming and the ghosts.
