Crooked Trees of Polands (Story)

Crooked Trees of Polands
The Crooked Forest is a grove of 400 oddly shaped pine trees located near the town of Gryfino, West Pomerania in Poland. The pine trees were planted around 1930 when its location was still within the German province of Pomerania
The prevailing hypothesis is that farmers manipulated the trees in the 1930s to use their bent wood for furniture or ship building, but that the war prevented them from following through. People do sculpt trees into furniture, knots or baskets, like the “circus trees” at Gilroy Gardens in California.
No one knows how the trees took such unique shape and formation and the stories about them range from feasible to outlandish. The most compelling origin theory is that the trees had been buried under heavy snow in their infancy. However, others believe that the trunks were altered by the area's gravitational pull.
Despite this, it is still regarded dangerous for humans, due to the presence of a variety of deadly animal species and wild creatures. The reason it has gained this name is for being massively populated by the tall pine and fir trees that form such a wide and thick canopy that no sunlight penetrates through.
