Before being discovered the logs were a real local legend, with residents of Tillamook heatedly debating on whether or not a real ghost forest. Local legend telling fact that the logs appeared only once in many decades, and always for a very short time. Since the winter of 1998, however, the ghost forest of Neskowin is no longer a legend, and has become a destination sought after by people who seek unusual landscapes and quaint...*

Estimates indicate that the strains of forest trees ghost have about 2000 years and that, when the trees were alive, they had reached a height of about 45-60 meters. Carbon dating of the remains confirmed theories, and accurately indicates the death of the forest at the turn of 1680 and 1720. The researchers motivated death of trees with an earthquake from the northwest, and the subsequent tsunami which covered sand trunks. Referring to old manuscripts Japanese, the researchers found that only a tsunami occurred in the world between 1680 and 1720, an event which caused the flooding of several Japanese villages. The exact date was January 26, 1700, which is fully confirmed by the studies on tree rings, showing the perfect state of health at the end of 1699 and the death by the end of 1700...*

It 'was established before that in 1700 a tremendous tsunami struck the coasts of Oregon, plunging 10 meters of the ground and thus drowning the trees in the mud. Shortly after the burial would come a tremendous tsunami that would cut the top of the trunk, leaving only a few meters tall trees once huge. The absence of oxygen, the mud and the bacteria thus have preserved the trunks lifeless of these ancient conifers, causing them to re-emerge only 300 years later...*
