Chilling footage: Pagan shaman tree found in the depths of the Hungarian Vértes Mountains

A Hungarian girl, Anita Torma, sought to spend some quality time in nature, relaxing with her friends. However, their hike took a sudden turn when their guide led them to a modern-day pagan shaman tree. The tree was adorned with a collection of disturbing items, such as animal bones, offerings, and pictures of young women pierced with nails.

An unsettling surprise

Travelo  reports that during a recent hike in the Vértes Mountains, Anita Torma and her friends stumbled upon an unexpected and eerie sight that felt like a scene from a horror film. Led by their guide, they reached a secluded, shadowy spot deep in the forest, where they encountered a peculiar modern shaman tree adorned with unsettling objects. This creepy discovery was far from the relaxing day out they had anticipated, adding an unexpected twist to their adventure. Anita recounted to Bors:

Our guide said he would show us a tree. I didn’t think anything special at the time, but then we got there and I saw what was on it…

Modern-day pagan shaman tree

As it turns out, Anita and her friends encountered a chilling modern-day shaman tree during their hike in the Vértes Mountains. The tree’s gnarled, moss-covered branches were decorated with an eclectic mix of items: plastic human and real animal bones, skulls, animal totems, amulets of wealth, coins, and offerings to pagan deities. Among the most unsettling elements were the photos of various people, predominantly women, nailed to the branches, suggesting the shaman had numerous clients and rituals. This eerie discovery added a deeply unsettling twist to their outdoor adventure. Anita recalls this shocking experience:

“The guide said we were standing at a shaman tree. I didn’t know what it was for, but it looked very odd,” said Anita, who took a good look at the tree and then saw the pictures on one of the branches. “The bones didn’t scare me, but I caught a glimpse of photos of girls on one branch. They had their faces pierced with nails. It was quite a gruesome experience!”
