The stumps of the the ghost forest stick up at low tide in Neskowin, Oregon with Haystack Rock of Cape Kiwanda in the background.

Though nobody knows the origins of the ghost forest, it is theorized that sometime within the last 2,000 years a cataclysmic earthquake caused this chuck of forest to drop to sea level. Then preserved by sand and mud, they are around today rather than naturally eroding.
