haunted forest

Ghostly tree domain

A haunted forest is a woodland inhabited by ghosts, spirits, or supernatural forces—or one that feels as though it might be.

The phrase appears in folklore, horror fiction, and Halloween attractions.

Any forest that seems eerie or foreboding might be called haunted: We got lost in what felt like a haunted forest as darkness fell.
