It is generally accepted that the two scary things about the forest are: the decapitated ghost of the bride and the people going into the forest to do satanic rituals. A third legend related to the forest, set in the 1970s-2000s that originated among taxi drivers' lore, tells how a woman told a taxi driver to drop her off at an abandoned site in the forest; the taxi driver was given the woman's wedding ring as payment.
