Chilling Things Found In The Woods That Defy Any Normal Explanation

There's a reason most people say you should never walk in the woods alone. Losing your way or accidentally injuring yourself is one thing, but even the most experienced outdoorsman couldn't prepare for the kinds of things you might find lurking in the wilderness. From strange statues and severed tongues to cloaked figures and even breathing dirt, these chilling discoveries will make you think twice about your next hiking trip.

1. Baby Doll Head

Children sometimes lose their toys, so there has to be a reasonable explanation for why this doll head was found in the wild — still, that doesn't make it any less creepy. Parts of the face have worn off, and we wouldn't be surprised if something creepy and crawly was living inside the doll's head. *Shudders*

2. Sentimental Find

After discovering these dog tags in a metal pile in the woods, this individual decided to return them to their owner. They managed to track down this soldier's wife, who revealed that her husband died back in 2010, the two having been married for 60 years.

3. Bike Trail

This popular sight in Washington's Vashon Island has led to countless theories as to how a child's bike ever ended up wedged directly through this massive tree trunk. No one knows for sure, as it happened so long ago, but it's fun to think maybe Elliot crash landed here while carrying E.T. in his basket.

4. Mesmerizing Escalators

These look like the kind of escalators you'd find in Alice in Wonderland. Who knows what happens when you reach the top, but don't be surprised if you meet the Cheshire Cat who takes you for a wild afternoon full of tea with the Mad Hatter and a deadly game of croquet with the Queen of Hearts.
