The Wizard of Oz

A friend told me that in one scene of the Wizard of Oz you can see someone 'hang' themselves from a tree in the background.

Well, the "dead person hanging in the background" rumor is popular, but untrue. What the "hanging person" actually is is a film crew person who got caught in the shot and quickly ran off the set.
It's kinda hard to see, but it never did get cut out. I guess the hanging person legend has too much flare to die down.
