This episode of Hexed heads into Hoia Baciu Forest, a patch of Romanian woodland outside Cluj- Napoca that locals have called the Bermuda Triangle of Transylvania.


Hosted by Mark Houston, Hexed blends eerie storytelling with cultural history and a dose of skepticism. There's no confirmed death here, no verified disappearance, just a vanished shepherd from local legend, a barren circular clearing, and one 1968 photograph of something in the sky that's never been fully explained. Sometimes a reputation doesn't need a body count. It just needs a forest people are still afraid to walk into.

Local legend adds a mad doctor and a fatal fall from the bell tower, but the verified history alone, tens of thousands buried or burned on the same small stretch of ground, is disturbing enough without it.

This episode of Hexed travels to Bhangarh Fort, a once-thriving 16th century walled city in Rajasthan, India, abandoned centuries ago and now considered so cursed that India's own Archaeological Survey posts an official notice barring anyone from entering after sunset.

Local legend points to a sorcerer's dying curse or a holy man's broken promise to explain why every roof in the city collapsed and never rose again. The real explanation may be simpler, and just as unsettling: drought, famine, and the slow, total emptying of a city history never fully accounted for.

Across three generations, the Lemp family lost sons, fortunes, and finally themselves inside the same thirty-three room house, with three documented suicides occurring within its walls.


Hosted by Mark Houston, Hexed blends eerie storytelling with cultural history and a dose of skepticism. Was the Lemp family cursed, or does grief, addiction, and the collapse of a business empire explain enough on their own? Either way, the house they left behind still keeps its doors open, for dinner, for a room upstairs, and for whatever else might still be there.
