The Forest of Aokigahara



Sad and powerful.

From Wikipedia's article:
 "The forest, which has a historic association with demons in Japanese mythology, is a popular place for suicides; in 2002, 78 bodies were found, despite numerous signs, in Japanese and English, urging people to reconsider their actions.


Due to the wind-blocking density of the trees, and an absence of wildlife, the forest is known for being eerily quiet"
