Re: Aokigahara Forest
Wow, thanks for posting. I've been looking for some good photos from Aokigahara for some time now but the most I got was a few skulls and scattered bones. It's such a creepy place, it's so vast and dense that even in broad daylight parts of it are really dark and ominous plus there are caverns and all sorts of nooks from the volcanic rock around Mount Fuji. I watched a couple of documentaries about it, one filmed at night. The people filming came across all sorts of creepy shit aside from bodies. Abandoned tents, torn up photos and drivers licenses, loads of empty pill packets and booze bottles, decaying nooses hanging from trees, clothes, bags full of belongings, an album full of family photos and loads of personal effects scattered about. It seems some people hike deep into the forest and camp for days before they finally top themselves. Every year they send in a team to recover bodies, one year they found 78. The authorities placed signs at the entrance to the forest urging people not to commit suicide and to think of their loved ones but people seem drawn to it, after the Golden Gate bridge it's the worlds second most popular suicide spot. I'd love to go there and explore but I honestly think I'd freak out a bit if I stumbled across a body swinging from a tree in the darkness, even if I was half expecting it. Woods are creepy enough anyway, let alone woods full of decaying corpses Nice find, thanks |
