These Are The Creepiest Natural Wonders You Can Actually Visit

The thick forest of Aokigahara rests eerily in the shadow of the towering mount Fuji, with foliage so thickly packed into the 14 miles of landscape that it has earned the nickname "The Sea of Trees."

A less lighthearted title for the macabre grove is the "Suicide Forest," spawning from the fact that it is known around the world as one of the most popular places to commit suicide. People who take their lives within the forest will go undiscovered for long periods of time – possibly forever.

While Jacob's Well in Texas might be a cool and relaxing getaway for those seeking a refreshing break from the overbearing heat, its waters have been unforgiving for some adventurous divers.

Logged as one of the most dangerous places to dive in the entire world, several have met an untimely end in its 6,000 feet of cavernous depths. While an estimated eight divers have died in its depths, the remains of many others might be lost somewhere inside.

This woodland stretch of Kent, located in South East England between the quaint villages of Smarden and Pluckley, is known to be the most haunted woods in the UK. Stories of horrifying tales and paranormal activities surround the harrowing folds of Dering Woods, including kidnappings, massacres, and cults.

It has earned the nickname of the "Screaming Woods" from these stories, as shrieks and dark shadows are said to emerge from the foliage.

The fact that it's located within Transylvania – which most outsiders like to think of as a Dracula theme park – automatically gives Hoia Forest a mysterious air that is alluring to ghoulish thrill seekers. But there's more than just a vampire legend hanging over this forest; over the years both strange disappearances and sightings have been recorded in the area, from a shepherd going missing with his flock of 200 sheep, to a military technician claiming to have seen a UFO in 1968, despite the fact that to do so was career suicide under Communist rule. With oddly shaped trees, reports of gripping fear and nausea, and people literally trying to find the entrance to another dimension within the forest, Hoia Forest seems to have something for everyone.

Madidi National Park is a jungle of uninhabited, uncivilized land, discarded by Bolivia for good reason. The park itself might sound like a paradise, untouched by human folly and flourishing with beautiful scenery, plants, and wildlife... but it would more accurately be described as a death trap.

The national park is extremely alluring, and also extremely dangerous. It is home to a diverse collection of animals and plants that might be awe-inspiring, but they're mercilessly toxic and vile, capable of maiming and poisoning humans, leading many unwary travels to an early grave.

When climbing the towering heights of Mount Everest, there comes a point where oxygen becomes scarce and it is impossible to breathe. It's literally referred to as the "Death Zone," and many-a-hiker who has ventured there unprepared has not returned with a story to tell.

Retrieving the bodies that have been lost up in the altitudes of Everest takes great effort and puts more people at risk of death, so once a body is lost up there, it will most likely remain.
