Located behind the main branch of the Mobile library, you will find an old cemetery with an oak tree that sprung forth out of the grave of a man named Boyington. As the story goes, the African American man was unjustly accused of a crime and then executed. As he faced his own death, his last words were supposedly that an oak tree would grow from his grave and serve as a sign of his innocence. Some people who have encountered the tree believe that strange noises surround it.
