I should have listened to the warnings about Aokigahara Forest. The air is too still, and the gnarled roots feel like grasping hands. This woman, with her hollowed, gaunt face and rich but ragged kimono, isn't a guide. Her eyes hold a darkness I cannot escape. The shadows here are old, and they remember everyone who ever entered and never left.

Suicide Forest

The forest has a historical reputation as a home to yūrei: ghosts of the dead in Japanese mythology. At least since the 1960s, Aokigahara has become associated with suicide, eventually becoming known in English by the nickname "Suicide Forest" and gaining a reputation as one of the world's most-used suicide sites. If visiting the Aokigahara Forest, it's recommended not to go alone. Tourists visiting often reported feeling very ill all of a sudden while inside the forest or had an overwhelming urge to kill themselves, even those without mental illness such as depression.
