Twisted Trees
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Twisted Trees, Crooked Bush, or Crooked Trees of Alticane are an unexplained grove of deformed aspen trees found in Saskatchewan, Canada. They are found approximately twenty kilometers north-north-west of the town of Hafford, Saskatchewan and just over five kilometers south-west of Alticane and have drawn tourists from around the world.[1]
Biologists have been unable to explain the phenomenon, which occurs on private land. Theories range from a rare genetic mutation to UFO or other paranormal explanations. Prominent in Saskatchewan folklore, the trees have as yet eluded a conclusive explanation.[2][3]
