Locations have long existed on Earth that people tried to bypass. Such bad places are notorious, since it is there, according to statistics, that the largest number of accidents, deaths, and other unpleasant situations occur. Moreover, often the circumstances of what is happening are truly mystical. Some pathogenic zones are completely different in that they are capable of influencing the mental state of people, turning them into aggressive maniacs, or suicides.
Suicide forest
In Japan, on the northwestern slope of the sacred Mount Fujiyama, there is an ancient forest called Aokigahara Jukai. This woodland is located on a volcanic plateau formed by the eruption of Fuji in 864. Trees of the most bizarre shapes have grown in an incredible way on a solid foundation. At the same time, not a single subsequent eruption affected this zone. Over time, the forest became thicker and more ominous. The branches of nearby trees are intertwined in it, like the roots lying on the ground, sunlight almost does not penetrate to the surface. If, moving along the path, you deviate from it even quite a bit, you can spend hours fornicating nearby to no avail. The path itself looks like a gloomy corridor leading to a monster's lair.
Several centuries ago, in years of famine, local peasants often left old and sick family members in the forest, condemning them to starvation. Gradually, this place acquired an ominous glory, it was believed that evil bloodthirsty spirits lived there.
At present, the Jukai forest in an inexplicable way attracts those who want to commit suicide. Every few days, suicide occurs there, and people intending to commit suicide often travel from afar, as if something attracts them there. Despite the measures taken by the authorities, the forest continues to regularly claim the lives of people who, for some reason, suddenly become unbearable. Almost all eyewitnesses who have visited this forest area claim that going deeper into it, they had an intensifying feeling of anxiety, headache, and their health worsens. When you return, all unpleasant sensations quickly disappear. However, this is not the only oddity of this plateau. Compasses, navigators do not work on it, the cellular network is intermittent. The entire forest area is a continuous magnetic anomaly.
Researchers who have repeatedly visited Jukai cannot give an unequivocal answer why this particular place attracts people who decide to commit suicide. Shinto beliefs explain everything that happens by the fact that ghosts and demons are found in the forest, feeding on human flesh and energy. However, the solution to this anomalous zone has not yet been found.

Dudleetown's darkest secrets
In the state of Connecticut there is a small town called Dudleytown, now deserted and abandoned for a century. It is surrounded on all sides by a dense forest and could be considered a cozy and calm place, if not for one circumstance. In this city, mysterious disappearances and deaths of people regularly occurred under very strange circumstances. Local legends blame the forest for this, in which monsters and evil spirits are supposedly found. In this place, among other things, there has always been an increased number of suicides. For some unknown reason, the people who lived there often went crazy. So, in 1792, while working on a farm, he fell from a height and broke his neck with Gershom Hollister. In the accident, the owner of the farm was almost blamed, but it turned out that he was not responsible for the incident. The deceased man went mad before his death, and he saw monsters everywhere, with the onset of darkness,supposedly coming out of the forest.
Sometimes entire families disappeared without a trace in the city, and all attempts to find out what happened to them did not lead to anything. As a result, Dudleytown gradually became empty by the end of the 19th century. However, in 1920, the famous physician William Clarke moved there with his wife. He wanted to live in such a secluded place in nature. But when he returned after leaving, he found his wife in an inadequate state. As a result, the doctor's wife ended up in a psychiatric hospital, where she spent the rest of her life. What caused her insanity is also unknown.
Today, tourists come to the city who want to get the thrill of walking through the forest. They all argue that, as they delve into the dark thicket, into which the light from the sun does not penetrate, they feel an increasing fear and the desire to turn back. The forest itself is notable for its silence - there are no animals or birds in it.
Some associate all the oddities with the curse that was imposed on the ancestor of the founder of the city, Edmund Dudley, by King Henry for attempting a coup. However, researchers of anomalous phenomena believe that this place is a typical geopathogenic zone with a strong negative atmosphere, which has a detrimental effect on the psyche of people. Often, ghostly silhouettes can be seen in photographs taken in Dudleetown, which, according to researchers, also indicates the anomalous activity of this zone.
There are many places around the planet that negatively affect the behavior and psyche of people. Scientists call the reason for this effect some types of energy, still unknown to science, emitted in such locations. As a result, the people living there go crazy or become murderers, as happened in the case of Jack the Ripper. Therefore, it is imperative to study this problem further in order to avoid possible unpleasant situations.
