TRIGGER WARNING-Discussion of suicide, please use discretion. 

At the base of Mount Fuji, in Japan there is a forest, that is known to lure the sad and lost visitors off of the path, and into the depth of the forest, where they end up taking their own lives.  Media has stopped reporting on how many complete suicide in Aokigahara, in hopes of stopping those who have romanticized the idea, and seek out the forest to spend their last hours on earth. Even still, there is an annual walk through of the forest where, police, volunteers and reporters go and look to bring home the bodies of those who followed through with their plan, in order to give their families some peace.  Even, without reports, it is still estimated that over 100 people per year end there lives, under the eerily quiet canopy of tree.  Is it just the serenity and calm of the woods that make this the place that people want to spend their last moments?  or is it something more sinister?
