Hiking

Legend has it that in 1773 Jonah climbed the tree whilst playing hide and seek with his siblings. He was found the next day on top of the tree having died during his hiding. He was buried beside the tree. The next day the tree also died. Nothing has ever grown since, and birds will not sit on its branches.
