Summary

Some places are haunted… and some trees are haunted all on their own


In this week's episode, Yvette Fielding explores seven of the most mysterious and terrifying haunted trees from around the world, each one steeped in legend, tragedy, and inexplicable paranormal activity.


From the chilling mystery of “Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?” in Worcestershire, to the ancient might of Sherwood Forest’s Major Oak, to the cursed Devil’s Tree in New Jersey… what is it about certain trees that draws in spirits, traps energy, and refuses to let go?


Yvette explores:

🌳 The Wych Elm Mystery — a wartime crime that left behind a ghostly legacy.

🌳 The Major Oak — Robin Hood’s legendary tree with a shadowy presence lurking beneath its branches.

🌳 The Hangman’s Tree — a New Forest oak said to still echo the final struggles of those executed there.

🌳 The Oak of the Golden Man — a sacred Kazakh tree haunted by a warrior spirit.

🌳 The Sunland Baobab — a South African giant that once held secrets… and bodies.

🌳 The Night Marchers’ Banyan Trees — cursed Hawaiian routes where you must never look the spirits in the eyes.

🌳 The Devil’s Tree — the tree locals fear, where engines stall and ghosts follow you home.


Yvette unravels the stories, the cultural beliefs, the eyewitness accounts, and the paranormal theories behind each haunted tree and asks:


Can a tree hold a spirit? And why do some trees become portals, protectors, or prisons for the dead?


With chilling tales, rich history, and eerie theories, this episode dives deep into what makes these trees some of the most haunted in the world.


So settle in, dim the lights, and listen closely…


Because some trees whisper.


Some trees watch.


And some trees never forget.
