The sanctuary at Grosse Ile

Michigan · United States · Road

A man was hanged from a branch here in the middle of the night. The branch is still there, at the fork in the road.

The account from the wildlife sanctuary on Grosse Ile, Michigan is short and fixed to one object.

A man was hanged from a tree branch in the middle of the night. The branch is still standing, at the fork in the road, and people are shown which one it is.

What visitors report there at night is noise, lights moving through the trees, the sense of being watched and followed, and above all a strong feeling of not being wanted, to the point of needing to leave.

No date, no name and no record accompany the hanging, and it is set down as local tradition.

A specific identified branch is what has kept the story anchored. Legends attached to a landscape usually drift. This one has something a visitor can stand under, which is why every account gives the same directions.
