The Scariest Places On Earth: Suicide Forest

Aokighara -- also known as the Sea of Trees, or Suicide Forest -- is the second most popular place to commit suicide worldwide, after San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. It becomes the final resting place to dozens of Japanese citizens every year -- so much so that the government has taken to downplaying the statistics to avoid encouraging copycats and has placed numerous signs all over the forest pleading with people not to do it. But the vastness of the woods and their eerie quiet still tempts many in their ultimate moments of despair to wander into Suicide Forest with no intention of ever wandering back out.

With decades of the dead among the trees, it’s no surprise that people claim Suicide Forest is haunted. Japanese folklore dictates that a body left alone is very bad luck, causing the spirit to suffer and linger close to where it lies. Hence, forest rangers, whose job it is to find and arrange last rites for those poor souls. But in the massive expanse of Suicide Forest, only a small number are ever found.
