Trees With Baked Apples

For this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie (2 Thessalonians 2:11).

Discovering that most people of the day believe everything they read, a young reporter in Connecticut went to work. Reporter Louis Stone, for nearly two decades, invented and sold stories throughout America about such freaks of nature as a tree that produced baked apples, a squirrel that brushed its master’s shoes with its tail every morning, and a cow owned by two spinsters that was so modest she would not allow a man to milk her. That was during the late 19th century. Finally, Stone was exposed as the “Winsted Liar,” where Winsted, Connecticut, became famous as his birthplace.
