The Hippie Tree is located deep in the woods outside an old state-run asylum. It has earned its moniker because of its role in local legend. Apparently, it's believed that the restless ghosts of asylum patients - and the madness that tormented them - haunt the tree. Visionaries, mystics, and other spiritual people (referred to as hippies by the locals) would congregate beneath the tree to meditate, after which they would paint the results of their enlightenment on the tree's branches. The tree is rumored to be haunted by several ghosts, and reports of paranormal experiences are rather frequent. It is also believed that a portal to hell will open beneath the tree's roots if one goes around it a certain way.
