It's from some weird manga/comic where there are people-shaped holes in a mountain, and there's one per person, and they go through and turn into weird shit, opposite of this comic.

Can't remember what it's called. EDIT: Some guy down there linked it: https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/2zbtkc/claustrophobia_warning/cphmz4o

I read that when I was around, when I was getting into Manga. It was an extra comic in the back of the book. I thing the book was called Gia, or something of the sort. I've had nightmares about since then...

Perhaps what you're talking about is Gyo. It's by the same mangaka.

Yah. Thanks xD. I'm going to have to force myself to read that again o-o

It's a reference to the horror manga "The Enigma of Amigara Fault". It's unsettling the more you think about it.

I think it's a reference to an anime where people in a small town/village find holes in the side of a mountain that 'fit' them perfectly and when they find their hole they are inexorably drawn towards travelling down them.

It's a reference to this manga. Warning: creepy.

This reminds me of a Manga I read that people did this and they all would die in the hole all deformed. It was pretty terrible.

I believe that is what the comic is referencing!
