Devil's Tree, Haunted oak tree in Bernards Township, New Jersey
The solitary oak tree stands in an undeveloped field on Mountain Road, across from a housing development in the Martinsville section of Bernards Township.
During the 1920s, the area near the tree became a gathering point for Ku Klux Klan activities, including rallies and acts of racial intimidation.
Local residents share accounts of unexplained events near the tree, including encounters with a black pickup truck that follows visitors along Mountain Road.
The tree location operates within park hours until thirty minutes after sunset, with a protective chain-link fence surrounding the oak to prevent vandalism.
The ground beneath the oak tree remains free of snow accumulation during winter, while the trunk maintains an unexplained warmth throughout all seasons.
