You must be wondering why Aokigahara is haunted? Well, the story you will hear about this, beautiful and creepy place will shock you.

It’s also known as Sea of Trees, Demon forest and Suicide forest. Yes, you’ve heard correctly! Suicide forest because of the 500 confirmed suicides there during 1950’s.

Called “the perfect place to die,” this forest is the world’s second most popular place for suicide, because the Golden Gate Bridge is being the first – we will talk about it in some of our next posts.

Legend says that this all started after Seicho Matsumoto published a novel by the name of Kuroi Kaiju or Black Sea of Trees in 1960. The story ends with two lovers committing suicide in the forest so many people believe that’s what started it all.

Located at the base of Mt. Fuji, Aokigahara is undoubtedly one of the creepiest places in Japan. Would you want to visit and explore this forest or would it be too scary for you?

In the 400 meter long Lake Kaindy, believe it or not, there is a underwater forest. The lake is located in Kazakhstan’s portion of the Tian Shan Mountains located 129 km from the city of Almaty.

The lake was created after an earthquake in 1911 that triggered a large landslide blocking the gorge and forming a natural dam. Subsequently, rainwater filled the valley and created the lake.

This lake is famous for its sunken forest and the imposing trunks of spruce trees that rises out of the lake water. Scroll down and see how this nature masterpiece looks like.

This forest looks like it has emerged straight out of a fairytale. But I can assure you, it is totally real. It exists in our reality. The name is Hallerbos. Location: Belgium. Not far from Brussels.

What makes it look like a fairytale illustration? The main contributor to this magical look is the dense carpet of Bluebell flowers. They bloom in late Spring and early summer coloring the floor of Hallerbos all shades of blue and purple.

During this season the forest becomes the place of pilgrimage for many photographers eager to capture the beauty of the Bluebell flowers.

Let’s take a walk together through this incredible place.
