Chiajna Monastery

Chiajna Monastery is just outside of the capital of Romania, Bucharest. Construction began sometime between 1774 and 1782, when Alexander Ypsilanti reighed. It wasn't finished until Phanariote Nicholas Mavrogenes filled in 1786 to 1790. It is 43 m (141 ft) long and 18 m (53 ft) long, and the walls are 1-2 m (3-6.5 ft), making it quite a large building for the times.

The church was  meant to be a place of importance for the local religion. However, it was never meant to be as it never got properly blessed. The Monastery was abandoned early in its construction.

Witches Pond, Boldu-Creteasca Forest

This pond is only a few meters big and is well hidden in its forest, located somewhere outside of the capital city of Bucharest. Exact location is unknown.

First, though, a bit of a history lesson. As many of us know, Romania is also known as Transylvania, home to Dracula. In the Fifteenth Century, he was known by many names.

• Vlad Tepes
• Dracula (Dracul was his father's name and means "devil" or "dragon", so this name means " son of the devil")
• Vlad the Impaler
• The Impaler Prince

It wasn't until Bram Stoker published his book did his myth reach a wider audience.

Hoia Baciu Forest

Hoia Baciu Forest is known as Romania's Bermuda Triangle. As the legends goes, this forest ia protected by spirits. These spirits have died in horrible ways. It is said that the wind carries the whispers of women, possibly from beyond the grave.

It is also said that people have come down with physical ailments, such as rashs, fevers, headaches, burns, extreme thirst, and anxiety. Also, those who have evil and dark thoughts lurking in their heads tend to see things the most. While they aren't the only ones, those with evil in their hearts and minds tend to be punished in those woods.
