Aokigahara Forest, a vast primeval forest at the foot of Mount Fuji, is notorious worldwide as the "Forest of Suicide."

We were determined not to go any further in, but then we heard a voice whispering from the woods, 'Come this way.' The moment I unconsciously took a step forward, my friend grabbed my arm tightly. When I turned around, my friend's face was deathly pale, and she was pointing behind me. There stood a blurry figure staring intently at us. We ran away as fast as we could."
