Magnetic Saguaro Cactus



Magnetic Saguaro Cacti is an appellation for a type of cryptobotanical cactus, reported as existing in Arizona (and particularly along the banks of the Gila River), which has been "magnetised" (both rendered animate and possessing magnetic force) by veins of charged metals, such as copper, and consequently, having either positive or negative polarity, will attract or repel living beings in order to consume them. The original reports on the magnetic cacti were attributed to Joseph Mulhatton, the "Prince of Liars," a notorious hoaxer, who had previously authored claims regarding carnivorous plants such as the Arbor Diaboli (or Devil Tree of Mexico).
