YouTube Description
as posted by the channelStop! Would you spend a night alone here?
Deep in the woods near Alton Towers stands the Chained Oak, an ancient tree wrapped in iron and bound by a chilling curse.
Legend says the Earl of Shrewsbury was cursed by an old woman — for every branch that falls, a member of his family will die.
When lightning struck and a branch broke, tragedy followed… and the Earl ordered the tree to be chained forever.
Join Destination Discovery as we uncover the truth behind one of Staffordshire’s most haunting legends — where folklore meets fear.
