OVERTOUN BRIGDE MISTERY

In 2005 I was asked by a television director, Matthew Burgess of Making Time TV, if I believed it was possible for dogs to ‘commit suicide’. My immediate reaction was to reply that it was impossible for a dog to premeditate its own death. I discussed with Matthew that whilst many animals appear to be able to ‘sense’ that their death is imminent it is wrong to humanise a dog in terms of human behaviour. It is also true that some infirm animals are known to seek out a quiet sheltered place to experience a final resting place in what we would call a dignified end to life.



AOKIGAHARA FOREST
Called "the perfect place to die," the Aokigahara forest has the unfortunate distinction of the world's second most popular place to take one's life. (The first is the Golden Gate Bridge.) Since the 1950s, Japanese businessmen have wandered in, and at least 500 of them haven't wandered out, at an increasing rate of between 10 and 30 per year. Recently these numbers have increased even more, with a record 78 suicides in 2002.
                                                                
Japanes espiritualists believe that the suicides committed in the forest have permeated Aokigahara's trees, generating paranormal activity and preventing many who enter from escaping the forest's depths. 
Contemporary news outlets noted the recent spike in suicides in the forest, blamed more on Japan’s economic downturn than on the romantic ending of Seicho Matsumoto’s novel Kuroi Jukai, which revitalized the so-called Suicide Forest’s popularity among those determined to take their final walk. (The novel culminates in Aokigahara as the characters are driven to joint-suicide.)
Locals say they can easily spot the three types of visitors to the forest: trekkers interested in scenic vistas of Mount Fuji, the curious hoping for a glimpse of the macabre, and those souls who don’t plan on returning.
What those hoping to take their lives may not consider is the impact the suicides have on the locals and forest workers. In the words of one local man, "It bugs the hell out of me that the area's famous for being a suicide spot." And a local police officer said, The workers must carry the bodies down from the forest to the local station, where the bodies are put in a special room used specifically to house suicide corpses.

What is the Taj Mahal?


  It is an immense mausoleum was built on the orders of Shah Jahan, the fifth Muslim Mogul emperor, to honor the memory of his beloved late wife.




Built out of white marble and standing in formally laid-out walled gardens, the Taj Mahal is regarded as the most perfect jewel of Muslim art in India. The emperor was consequently jailed and, it is said, could then only see the Taj Mahal out of his small cell window. The white marble stone is inlaid with floral details carved from precious gems.  In places, the stone is carved into delicate vined screens called pierce work so that visitors can see into the next chamber.
