Louisville, Kentucky is known for many things like bourbon and horse racing, but located on a rather unassuming street within the city is what the locals call the Witches' tree.
I've heard about a lot of urban legends in Illinois over the years, but have never come across this one - until now. The claim is that there is a network of secret tunnels under the University of Illinois that also houses a top-secret United States government computer.
