Location Of The Forest

Horror Stories From The Jungle
According to Japanese mythology, the souls of the dead live in this forest. According to official records, about 105 dead bodies have been discovered here since 2003, most of them were badly rotten, some were eaten by animals. The religious people of Japan believe that due to the suicides in this forest, paranormal activities have started taking place here.
The biggest problem is that no modern technology like a compass, mobile phone, etc. works here. Strange directions are shown from the compass, due to which the directions look wrong as well as the signal does not come in the mobile phone as well. The reason for this is that the soil in this area contains Magnetic iron. Therefore, after reaching this forest, it is very difficult to come back.
Along with this, people also believe that the body of those who commit suicide here should not be lying here. Those working in the forest take these bodies to the police station. People believe that suicide is not good for the person and their soul screams all night and takes away their body from there.
Although this area is naturally very beautiful and hikers and adventure lovers reach Mount Fuji in large numbers. Along with this, people who go to roam in this forest do not go alone and one trick of roaming here is that people keep plastic tapes with them. Remembering the way, we walk by tying plastic tape or ribbon on the trees so that the way can be found. Apart from all this, there are also wonderful trees about 300 years old.
