Urban rumours say that the statue in Angel's Tree used to be a person. You know how when you're a kid whatever someone older says somehow makes perfect sense? My uncle used to say that if you were buried and there were seeds underneath you then when they grew into trees they'd lift your skeleton right up out of the ground.
Of course now I know it's a load of nonsense but at the time it explained Angel's Tree and that was what I told everyone else. I still hear that rumour circling about the school I work in only somewhere along the line they've changed the statue's position.
When I was a kid the statue was always only visible up to the shoulders with a few fingers peeping through lower down in the trunk and of course the upper part of the spread wings that gave the tree its nickname. Now they're saying that the statue has one arm nearly fully outside of the tree with its fingers pointing directly below.
People are starting to wonder who or what is buried beneath the tree but its on consecrated church grounds so nobody can dig there without the church's permission. Who'd honestly ask to dig up a potential grave just because some statue halfway up a tree might be pointing to a grave?
