What is the devils tree?
A devils tree is a Solid Oak tree which stands on its own with nothing else around it's base or it's surrounding area. The oak trees are usually not all dead but there are some dead limbs and branches which still cling onto the tree. There are countless cases of the Devils trees all around the world people believe the trees are cursed and whenever locals or visitors offend, damage or disrespect the trees the restless souls seem to retaliate the living.
The Devil Tree in Oak Hammock Park, Port Saint Lucie, FL
OK so the first version of this urban legend supposedly started up years ago by locals, two girls were raped and hung at this tree. The murder was your average man however people believe he was also a police man, or so many thought. After the deaths of the girls, he is said to have gone back to the girls’ corpses and had sex with them several times.
Where the girls bodies were buried bus another story in itself some believe the girls bodies were buried near the tree, others believe the girls bodies were found in the canal near the park by some hitch hikers. But the killer was never found.
The tree was insisted to be cut down, but in each case the chainsaw would break or the teeth of the chainsaw would snap off and once again the tree would stand sting and not be able to be cut down. There are even reports of the tree not being able to burn (which is creepy) I'm surprised they never called the tree the immortal trees rather then the Devils Tree. If you were interested in looking at this particular devils tree you can see where someone had tried and failed to burn it.
People who visit these woods or this area of Port St. Lucie, have claimed to have heard the girls’ screams and seen their spirits roam. Sometimes, however if you go at night you will see people chanting and doing rituals around the tree some say while you are around this area you can hear the snap of a rope near the tree. Maybe the rituals that have been happening near the tree have made the spirits of the two girls restless.
New Jersey Devil tree
evidence that many attempts had been made over the years to fell the unholy oak, but all have failed. The tree stands all alone in the middle of a large field off Mountain Road. Its trunk has been severely scared by axes and chain saws, some wounds appearing to be quite old. Why no one has yet been successful in toppling the timber we cannot say for sure. Nor do we know what has become of those who have tried.
Devil’s Tree is a KKK Hangout
There is a very evil truth to the legend of the Devil’s Tree. At one time, Bernards Township was one of the central main headquarters of the KKK in New Jersey – they held many demonstrations in the town and held tons of meetings throughout the hills. KKK policy, often they would lynch local African-Americans to set an example, not only to other African-Americans, but also as an example of their principles and resolve.
The Devil’s Tree was more secluded in those times before the developments spread across the rural countryside like a blight. It stood in a very isolated area of woods and fields, far from the prying eyes of the police. The energy around the tree comes from the souls of dead men and women who were killed by this vile organization. If you look at the tree you can see the left most branch extends almost to the ground. This was the hanging branch. creepy but true!
"To freak ourselves out, sometimes my friends and I would drive down the road at night telling ghost stories. When the moon is a full red harvest moon, and the wind is blowing just right, it looks like there might be bodies hanging from the branch, slowly swaying in the breeze.” –Rob S."
Who knows if this legend is true but there have been many eye witnesses around the world who have experienced some sort of paranormal activity from this tree! Which is incredible-http://weirdnj.com/stories/devils-tree/
