Actually, I'm amazed the kid didn't fall down (pretty good balance and flexibility)

I don't know if I'd call this "neat," but I found it interesting. Apparently in Japan at the base of Mount Fuji there is a very dense forest called Aokigahara (Sea of Trees) with little wildlife and dense trees. It is dark and very quiet. And apparently more than 100 people hike into it each year and commit suicide mostly by hanging. To the point there are signs discouraging suicide and reminding people they have reasons to live along the hiking trails. Talk about your creepy national parks. This video talks more about it with one of the park rangers explaining the phenomenon. He even runs into someone "camping" there on the walk. It's weird/sad, but interesting...


Maybe some of you have heard of this/know of it already, but I had never heard anything about it.

It's somehow a little inappropriate to post that after eloco's grim clip, but...you know...that's what this thread is all about.

I read about it for the first time about a week ago.

I was thoroughly creeped out, but fascinated.
