Tips from the community

This deadly forest is one of the most “haunted” and mysterious places around the world. And while you might think that almost every forest has a reputation for being haunted, this one takes it to the next level. The minute you enter, you’ll be bombarded with signs reading “Your life is a precious gift” or “Think about your family” due to the number of suicides that have been taken place in it’s deep dark woods. It’s actually known for having the second highest rate of suicide in the entire world. Legend has it that the forest has been haunted by either the ghosts and demons of all the people who have died there, or ghosts and demons that convince whoever visits the forest to take their life. Over 50 bodies are discovered annually, and the corpses are said to move and scream at night….no thank you!
