Good morning teacher and classmates, today I am going to tell

you about the mystery of the AOKIGAHARA forest, located in

Japan, in shizuoka prefecture.
"Your life is a beautiful gift from your parents. Please think
about your parents, siblings and children. Do not keep it to
yourself. Talk about your problems." That says, in Japanese, on
one of the signs at the entrance to Aokigahara,
This forest is one of the most famous in the world. Today it has
warning signs, but in the past people entered the forest and died
because they were lost inside, the forest was very large and dark.
This forest is larger than the DEWA SANZAN JINJA forest.
There are two possible theories about this hapen :
The first is that some people believe that the origins of this
sinister "fame" as a suicide site ,date back to the 19th century,
when poor families left their elderly or sick relatives to die in the
forest.
The second
Experts say that it is difficult to find your way here, it is
impossible to use compasses, GPS or cells phones. In addition,
the wind is blocked by the trees, which makes it a very quiet
place, perfect to end your life.
It is currently unknown why people are drawn to the forest. I
think one of the possible theories is that life in Japan is very
stressful and strict, sometimes young people cannot resist social
pressure and do not want to end their life in a place where they
cannot be found.
The strangest thing is that in the whole place no animals have
been seen, the forest always remains silent. In my opinion, the
forest seems mysterious and dark. I would like to travel to know
the place and find out more about the forest.
