I came here one time during the winter right after it snowed heavily. Despite there being at least 11 inches of snow in the surrounding area, all of the snow surrounding the area of the trees truck was melted completely. It far too cold for the snow to melt.

It's a tree filled with mystery and urban legends from it being haunted to unconfirmed hangings. It's a cool stop if you're in the area. There's nothing else to see once you see the tree though. It's best to go in the fall you can tell which one it is because it stands out

Tbh, for being supposedly the most haunted places in nj, it was pretty dissappointing. There are way better spots where you can have thrills in nj. Not really that cool of a tree, some carvings and drawings from other people on it. Something intresting i found though was behind the tree in the forest type area. I saw someone throwing something over a tree, but when i went over there no one was there. So that part was a little sketchy. But the tree itself isn't too bad, would reccommened if your in a 40 minute radius of the tree, anywhere longer, its not worth your time.

My buddy took a piece of the bark and left it in his Jeep. A week later his plumbing broke in his house and now has sewage in the walls. The Jeep is parked less than 20' from the pipe.

Local legend and rumors have it that The Jersey Ku Klux Klan had a meeting place close by and it was used for hangings. Since then other strange and ghostly things are connected with people who have visited the tree. The tree and the surroundings now have changed drastically over the years but the tree has remained.

I have watched the film about it. Are they real?

Lila ATAMAN | Oct 23, 2019
