Eerie Images From Japan’s Suicide Forest
Surrounding the base of Mount Fuji, Aokigahara Forest—the “Sea of Trees”—is stunningly beautiful, but more than 100 people a year commit suicide within its realm. Supposedly, the inspiration for this practice is from the 1960 novel, Wave of Trees, by Seicho Matsumoto, whose protagonists kill themselves there. The scenery is creepily serene.
I know, right? Now tell your friends!

Emily G. a year agoSaw this on Destination Truth (yeah I know, it’s a guilty pleasure). Everyone that they spoke to seemed to get very uncomfortable when they were asked about the forest and the suicides. It’s a beautiful forest to look at, I’m sure it has a heavy atmosphere because of all the suicides. I’ve always wondered why it was such a popular place for such a thing. There are closer places you could commit suicide at.

Idiot Ballroom a year agoSo if youre a killer you can just leave your victims body there and no law enforcement would bother investigating?
