We visited again last week and i was sad to see that a large part has fallen and some hooligans have sprayed blue paint in a swastika sign on the tree.

Jonathan After reading the latest comments about the chained oak, I think the curse is still intact. When I went to see the tree last time, I still felt this strange, dark, unfriendly presence surrounding the tree like there is someone or something there watching in anger, something that doesn't want anyone visiting the tree.

I don't know why but that presence is still there after the branches fell. Sure some of the big branches have fallen and many people think it was due to one of the chains rusting through, the tree being very old or the very strong winds that were blowing when the branches fell but the way I see it, I think its quite the opposite to any of the three.

I believe it was due to the curse. If I recall, there was a movie being made about the chained oak aroung that time but it got scrapped due to continuity hence the fallen branches. The way I see it, I believe thats why the branches fell, to stop the movie being completed. This is my way of saying the curse is still alive. If there have been sightings at the oak tree as the latest comments have said than I must be right.

I'm not saying believe me. I'm just saying what I believe about the chained oak. Believe what you want to believe. All I can say now is this. The next time you visit the oak tree, be very careful, be aware of the oak tree's surroundings and don't go alone.

Alexandra Longden I lived in alton when i was but just a baby and mum told me the tree was chained even then way before they made the hex ride and there was a book about it too so i think it must be true. Jonathan Malton I went on the hex ride and thought it was fantastic. As a good historian I think it is true, but more reaserch needs to be done in the towers and a test on the oak tree to see if it is really cursed.

Unknown Look at it this way: We might not believe in the curse, but back then it would have been very believable. I'd also like to see what they actually found when they opened the castle, maybe there really was a hidden experiments room Home Explore the BBC.
