I saw a show on it on TV and it was really creepy. People were there looking for some kind of animal and kept getting lost, seeing things, getting creeped out, and came across abandoned camps with people's valuable belongings, burned passports/id's/photos, etc. Horrible.<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aokigaharaotowihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11497228997910501944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321070.post-41810482564688215702009-01-02T20:16:00.000-07:002009-01-02T20:16:00.000-07:00I will say that I have had to deal with the afterm...I will say that I have had to deal with the aftermath of several suicides of people close to me.<BR/><BR/>Some made the process easier than others by pre-planning the event.<BR/><BR/>But for some people, leaving their remains to scavengers might be an attractive idea.<BR/><BR/>Stepping over the railing of the <A HREF="http://www.royalgorgebridge.com/" REL="nofollow">Royal Gorge Bridge</A> in front of the tourists, as Sawtooth alludes to, is a little too exhibitionist for my tastes though.Chas S.
