Stenport Wood

Stenport Wood is an unusually dense copse of trees to the northeast of Munson, choked with oak, pine, and birch that provide a dense canopy that blocks out the sun on all but the brightest days. A stream runs through the forest and it the area is surprisingly hilly, with plenty of rises and bends around overgrown brush. At times of low light, such as dawn and dusk, the moss and ferns seem to glow with a kind of preternatural greenness.
The wood covers a few hundred acres in what some have described as a shape of a hatchet and a handle, with a good section of the former woods being clear cut up to the stream. The back border of the wood is an old dirt road that runs east-west. Loggers complained of the challenges of cutting down timber deeper into the forest, with the stubborn trees snapping saws and dulling axe heads.

Uncanny Occurrence

Despite its relative small size of a few hundred acres, the wood has a reputation for being difficult to navigate with hills and thick, repetitive foliage providing few landmarks by which one would keep their bearing. Popular with hunters in the autumn and with woodsman year 'round, some men have emerged from the edge of the wood in stupor, confused as to what they had seen. Others disappear and never come back, though the locals say this is a good excuse for a man to escape a hastily-entered marriage.
