A centuries-old cedar tree long-thought to be cursed by residents of an English town added a new tale to its dark reputation after a car parked next to it caught on fire.
Urban legend surrounding the tree, which is situated in the town of Caterham, is that it served as the site of a witch hanging at some point in the 250 years since it was first planted there.
While all of this likely sounds like a silly superstition, some who adhere to the idea that the tree is haunted had their suspicions strengthened when firefighters were called to quell a blaze that had engulfed car parked next to the infamous location.
