-Two hundred years later, the Fallen branch was rediscovered by [[God]]. It was after accidently pushing over a few bookcases during a spring clean in the Octagon that he noticed a curtain hiding a secret corridor. However, it took several days before [[Alton_Towers|Alton Towers]] could be bothered to get the curtain effect working so his exploration was delayed. He found out that the corridor lead into the Earl's ancient [[Vekoma|Vekoma]] [[Mad House]], and more importantly to the Fallen Branch that had lain undisturbed for two hundred years.

-Legend has it that Charles Talbot, 15th Earl of Shrewsbury and at one point occupant of the Towers, came home one day after a good night partying with a curse cast upon him. To cut a long story short, he put some chains on an oak tree after a branch fell off and a member of his family suddenly and mysteriously... ''died''. Seemingly a bit miffed about the whole affair, he took the branch home and locked it in his [[Vekoma|Vekoma]] Madhouse, where it stayed for over two hundred years. It was this branch that became known as the Fallen Branch, and stayed in the vault for over two hundred years.
