Night twists can be encountered in Liffe[1], Todstein[2] (where they remain dormant for much of the year)[3]

Descriptive Text

Away down deep in the swamp, deeper than the Green Maiden, deeper than ol' Chicken Bone, deeper even (some say) than the Lord himself, that's where Old Man Willow grows, singing to himself about all the wrong done in the world, and all the wrong yet to do. It's a sad song, and a cruel song; don't never harken to it, child, because them that do find theyselves always turning a little deeper, always turning a little deeper, until they find theyselves at the foot of an ol' black willow tree without any leaves on him, an ol' black willow tree watered in blood and grown on dead men's bones. And then you may cry, you may scream, you may run, but you'll never come home again, and your bones will lie mouldering between the roots of Old Man Willow.

-traditional Souragnian folktale[4]
