We Touched a Deadly Tree to Debunk a Myth

Описание: The Legend of the Dutch Silk Cotton Tree of Mahaicony

There is an ancient tree in Guyana that legend claims is so haunted, nobody will cut it down out of fear of becoming its next victim.

Despite the efforts taken to appease it, deaths and severe injuries still regularly occur. In this episode, we went down to Perserverance, Mahaicony, East Coast Demerara to separate the truth from the legend.
