I have been fascinated with the stories from there for some time now. Although I’m a rather big Destination Truth fan, the episode in the forest has always been one of my favorites! Great read :)

I don’t know. It is, as far as I know, a natural forest. So it likely has several thousand voices, much like those in North America. But, as I’ve never been there, I am not sure I could understand the voices. The ones in Europe were hard to hear and understand, at first. I’m betting that Aokigahara would be similar.

Others are silent. The forests in Colorado are, for the most part, silent and have a sullen, Fuck Humans, attitude. The deeper you get, farther away from civilization, the more the forest is willing to talk. Wilderness forests in Alaska and Canada, are chatterboxes to those that can listen. Forests in Europe are quiet, yet are willing to talk. And don’t dislike humans as much as other places. All are deadly to those entering unprepared. The forest will not actively help you survive. But they do talk. To those of us that know how to listen.

I want to walk in the Shadows. Converse with the Spirits of The Forest. Hear Their point of view on the whole Human suicide thing.
Feel the atmosphere. And possibly, talk to one of the Dead. Find out the reason for doing it. And possibly an answer to the question “Was it worth it?”
Can I talk to the Dead? Dunno. But I am willing to try. I’ve spent time in places people were killed, and in a place a friend killed himself. Never attempted to talk or otherwise communicate with them. Just spent time there, feeling things, and imagining what it was like while they were there. I think it may be possible to communicate.
