Another element that is linked in the trees are the ropes of people who in the forest use them to know the way back if they decide back, the compasses do not work since it is above a magnetic field in the 19th century, one of the largest famines in the country and children and grandparents were left in this place because they could not give food for this reason it is believed that the souls that are there they prowl the forest. In 1988 there were 30 suicides in the forest, in 2003 the number has risen to 100 for some years the Japanese government dont wanted reveal data. More than 500 corpses have been found, most of them
