While Louisville is known for its charming Victorian homes and legendary attractions, there is a darker side to the neighborhood that's positively, frightfully delightful. In fact, you'll want to keep an eye out for a certain tree that has long been haunting residents at the corner of Sixth Street and Park Avenue...
...the infamous Witches' Tree! As the story goes, in 1889, local witches warned the city that they would pay dearly if they cut down this sprawling tree for the annual May Day celebration. The committee didn't listen, and, well, were true to their word, putting a curse on the city.
