    I was there a few years ago ago! It’s huge! The picture is great but in person is still so much better.

    Gotta wonder how many people were lynched on it. Is that how it got its name?

      [Author] Denise Roffe interviewed an old African American woman, a descendant of slaves who once labored on the land near Angel Oak. She recounted a legend that the tree was home to giant vultures who feasted on the bodies of slaves who were hung from the branches.
