Demon tree in Ladysmith?
Some people in Ladysmith believe there is a “Demon Tree” in Poort Road.
NATIONAL NEWS - Some people in Ladysmith believe there is a “Demon Tree” in Poort Road.
 
Motorists driving up Poort Road are likely to see the unusual tree if they are checking the advertising signboards in the middle of the road. Have a good look as you’re approaching the Carbineer Road turn-off and the “spruit” in the centre island in Poort Road.

Some say if you look quickly, it’s almost as if the tree moves, even on a windless day.

Then you look again and it’s standing as rigid as all the other trees around it.

From a certain angle, it appears to have a bowed head, with a wing extending out from its back. An angel? No, but aren’t those horns we see?
