Just so folks know -- the exact location is Enfield Road, inbetween Enfield Chase and Oakwood stations, about 10 miles north of central London. The tree might be dead but in spring and summer there's young horses here.

Come visit, and you too can say you've seen the site of an actual Comus photograph!

They say that if you try to enter the field at night and touch the tree. You never make it back on 2 legs

What happens if there's a horse in the field and a full moon in the sky, eh?! I can't wait to find out!

There once was this large, black tree out on the African savannah that all the nearby villagers would avoid. They told some European explorers that the tree held the spirit of a murder who had been cornered by his pursuers in the tree many years ago when the tree was suddenly struck by lightning. The European group decided to investigate the tree nonetheless, and when one person in the party stood under the tree it's limbs actually reached out, grabbed him, and started crushing him. The rest of the group began hacking at the tree with their blades until the man was released, but unfortunately already dead. The group returned the next day with reinforcements to destroy the tree and successfully chopped it down and burned it. What they found inside the trunk of the tree, however, sent chills up their spines. Fused within the wood of the tree trunk was a human skeleton.
