a forest in Venezuela, South America named "devil forest" something is said to have a supernatural creature like man-wolf. so almost no people go there & there's no map made for that forest. last year a team of 6 local people went there for fun and disappeared. now the families of that 6 people pay for a searching team to find them. when preparing for the search, 2 members of the searching team died by accident.

now i'll like to ask about any occult practices/Witchcraft in Venezuela, South America to try to find a cause for the events happened.

rgds.

To me this sounds more like a local legend dealing with a creature such as the Chupacabra than it does anything dealing with Witchcraft. Of course we have to take into account that there are some "cults", or groups of people following their own beliefs stemming back to superstitions and so called "Black Magick." The area you're describing indeed has alot of superstitions and legends behind it. Different creatures, like the afformentioned Chupacabra, which supposedly prey on both animals and people. I wouldn't start your search for an answer by directly looking into Witchcraft, although sometimes these things are drawn to areas which magick has been used in. But as with all things supernatural, there's no real way to be sure. Having the nickname "Devil's Forest" could be attributed to a Satanic cult once being located and practicing in the area. Now, although this isn't the area to be discussing Satanism, I have to say that the rituals and magick used by these pracitioners is potent to say the least. It could be affecting the area in some way, depending on what was cast or called forth in the past, perhaps even recently. The only advice I can think about giving you is to examine the circumstances around the disappearances. When did the bulk of them occur? Is there any sort of pattern in the times, places (thinking of exact areas, not such a large one as an entire forest), moon cycle, articles being carried, etc. Without some sort of connection as to why these people vanished, there's little to go on. Usually, if the situation can be attributed to dark practices in the area, there'll be some connection between these factors and the disappearances. Of course these are only my opinions. Perhaps someone else here is more well versed in the South American culture and can offer you a better explaination. Either way I hope I've been some help. Brightest blessings.
