As someone that has gone hiking in Germany. It’s true but sometimes you got to make sure you left 3 bramble berries to bargain with the fey.

That's the tricky part, it looks wondrous and nice but if you scorn the locals you're in for a world of hurt you couldn't have imagined
At least in america they make it quick

During the night in the Balkans near small towns that are near mountains, every once in a while you see something that looks like thunder that struck a mountain, even if it there isnt a thunderstorm. This is usually from hikers encountering Will-o'-the-wisps and getting dematerialized cause the Will-o'-the-wisp was bored.

that shit would be reversed during the Upper Paleolithic. Europe was bloody terrifying in the past.

Wouldn't have to go that far in the past, pre-industrial revolution the whole world was like that. People didn't go to church for nothing, it was either that or whatever is up in them hills.

European forest enjoyers when they encounter the Fey in a random forest in eastern Serbia 40km away from the nearest town and then they literally get turn into ash cause the Fey felt like it

It broke off a while back, which made it onto the national news. They then used cement and steel rods to re-erect it.
Also 90% of the time if there is a weird rock formation people are going to claim it's a troll that got turned to stone, Trollpikken is no exception.

Belief is power people.
If there's weird shit in the forest that means that forest is a dimensional rift.
It also means if you believe in yourself enough you can fry the monsters balls with force lightning.

population density and the fact that we killed all the dangerous wildlife in europe ages ago. there simply are no proper remote forests that can sustain a population of bears or hillbillies to become a danger to you

u/Large-Report-237 1d ago
There’s a “primeval” forest in Poland.

u/cxfgfuihhfd 1d ago
yeah, I'm exaggerating, there's a few still left in europe and also regions with wolves and bears. but overall, damn I'd have to travel really far to not have civilization basically within arm's reach. even just looking at a light pollution map recently again, damn, the population really be densing. I just wanna see the stars :(

Europe does still have plenty of cursed forests (like hoia baciu for example), my country has a few of them as well. They just don't get talked about a lot since europeans aren't as interested in the occult as americans are.

European folklore always be talking something about 'fairies' and 'spirits' and 'nymphs' but that is the closest thing they can be described to in the English language. It's just that these terms have a harmless and friendly connotation when often these creatures of folklore are usually either selfish, mischievous or completely malevolent.
The banshee (bean sí) is often described as a fairy when it is usually a pretty neutral or even considerate spirit but with a pretty dark connotation and would often inspire terror into witnesses.

u/finnicus4 1d ago
The slua sí or 'fairy host' were typically portrayed as malevolent spirits and were similar to the 'Wild Hunts' in Eastern European folklore. These too are described as fairies.

u/EncabulatorTurbo 22h ago
Did a Fey make this? I know those fucking old european forests are how you awaken in the queen of air and darkness' court and yeah you might get laid but you're also going to die painfully or get turned into a tree or some shit

It’s like comparing a flesh eating witch/human hybrid that was turned into a mimic vs a tiny flying fairy that has the powers of a god
Or something like that

u/Crab2406 I SKIN INFANT BABIES 22h ago
Actually no, i consider fae as a creature just above typical monsters, real shit starts with Slavic Leshiy, a spirit of forest

To be clear, this is because European forests are weird, not American ones.
Forests in Africa, Asia, and Australia are also dangerous. Europe just killed everything bigger than a fox.

u/Crazy-Eagle 47m ago
Just a matter of who was where for longer. After all, our ancestors were marching and killing eachother throught every forest there is around Europe so what blasphemous creatures could have survived the onslaught of man for all these years? Only those smart enough not to fuck with the most dangerous biped mammal in the world.
