It's always fun when you are with like-minded, adventurous peeps. We have a wee bit of evening left in Louisville tonight and are off looking for unique things to spice up our trip.
The first stop is at the Witch's Tree. According to local lore, in the late 19th century, this tree was the gathering place for a coven of witches. There they performed their ceremonies and generally didn't create too much of a nuisance. Until, that is, a city planning committee decided to remove the tree ahead of the annual May Day celebration. This displeased the witches greatly. So much so, they cast a curse. And exactly 11 months to the day after the tree was cut down, the city suffered a storm so severe that it was generally assumed that the witches had made good on their curse and summoned a storm demon. During the storm, lightning struck the stump of the old witches tree and a new tree began growing there. Not a healthy, happy tree, but rather the otherworldly thing that stands there now.
