Aokigahara Suicide Forest
Todays post isn't very funny, but its very interesting. The Aokigahara Forest is one of the most popular suicide destinations in the world. Up to 100 people flock to the forest to commit suicide every year. This is a twenty minute documentary on the subject by Vice Magazine TV.

i heard a movie was filmed there and the director said he found a dead persons wallet so people now go looking for money from the dead corpses!!!
This was pretty informative to how unaccepted some people feel...thanks for the upload..
And i just watched "Departures"... morbid japanese evening
I would think they died in that forest just to see something beautiful before they died. I mean, would you want a 300+ pound obese, sweaty woman jogging in tight clothing as the last thing you'll ever see?
Pretty powerful stuff. He's so right. No person is alone. Everyone has connections and people who would miss them. Makes you think about who would miss you if you died.
Esse lugar é uma lenda por ter muitas mortes com o motivo em comum nesse lugar, era um video muito longo e eu não quis ver por inteiro, mas ainda assim é bem interessante
I think the reason they go there to die is it became somewhat of a trend, so to speak. They all do the same thing and some even go there unsure if they actually want to die, but they still go there. It's almost ritualistic.
the yellow tent statement at the end really hit hard.same with the young clothes on the skeleton. going out young and not as a form of attention.
wow.
Aww they nail Jack to a tree. Thi was quite sad and interesting. <=//(
It is just sad that anyone should feel so alone that they want to die. No one is alone in this world.
wow ok... that's something else.
Being married to a wildlife biologist, all I could think of watching this, is "Where are the animals?" That seems one VERY empty forest. Usually if you have a body in a forest animals and/or birds arrive within hours to scavenge . It is very unusual to find a whole skeleton that is not disturbed and disarticulated.
Also, instead of sending in one elderly man, why not do a regular patrol with a corpse-finding dog?
Actualy, aokigahara is notable for having almost no wildlife. The whole forest has grown on a solidified lava flow and the whole thing is isolated in the middle of mountains.
.... :'(
I just don't see the legitimacy of the things found in this video. It looks as if it could all be staged. There is far too much editing to believe all of it.
For example, the noose that he found and had claimed that since they found the body, they cut the rope. Wouldn't the loop still be around the individual's neck and not on the forest floor?
I believe in the amount of suicide that takes place in this forest and in Japan as a whole, but this video seems a little fishy.
