A group of
hikers apparently became freaked out after encountering a tree burning from the
inside in Ohio.
The
incident happened in Defiance, Ohio, which is located about 60 miles outside of
Toledo.
The video
shows bright orange colored flames raging from top to bottom inside of the
tree.
There does
not appear to be any fire damage on the outside of the tree or a sign of a fire
burning anywhere nearby.
'How is
this even possible?' one of the men asked in shock.
'It's
starting to get up and around.'
The hiker
then urges his friend that they 'better get out of here,' as the cameraman
slips over twice.
It's
unclear how the tree caught fire in that manner, but a few people who have left
a comment about the video that the hikers shared to YouTube have labeled it as
the 'Devil Tree.'
One person
who watched the video wrote 'HAIL SATAN!' in the comments.
Tree fires
similar to the ones the hikers filmed can sometimes be caused by lighting
bolts.
In
addition, wildfires can also spread by roots burning underground and then up
into the insides of large trees.
