I personally owned a house on this grove and witnessed first hand the reaction of the spirit world to hanging a rope from a Poplar tree in the grove for a swing. People who visited felt extremely uncomfortable and ill at ease in the grove. A swing was fully moved from hanging straight down to way back, as if someone was there holding up the swing, about to push it mightily. This persisted for about 30 seconds. We were stunned! Immediately my friend assisted me in climbing up this huge tree and cutting down the rope swing. As soon as the rope was down peace and serenity returned to the grove. I have a picture that I took in the grove of what appears to be the slight image of a slave in overalls by the very tree that I had a rope swing.
