An unexplained phenomenon occured on a tree in Penang, Malaysia, resulting it to be named as the “ghost tree”. The curves on the five-metre high betel nut tree clearly resemble human eyes, teeth and a nose. The 10 years old pinang(betel nut) tree, which has a human-liked face on its trunk draws a large crowd around the tree due to their curiosity. According to NST, some of the villagers claimed that the human-like face changed every day. They claimed that the image photographed several days ago was different from the one photographed yesterday.
Two days after the news of this weird tree, some of the irresponsible visitors who believe the tree has magical healing powers had chop off the parts of its root.
Villager Abdullah Baharom, 53, said people had been cutting the roots since yesterday morning.
“They believe the roots contain healing powers or have medicinal value.
“Whatever it is, they should not have cut the roots.
“The tree will surely die if people continue hacking at the roots,” he said.
Abdullah said whoever cut the tree’s roots might have done it just before dawn as there was still a large crowd in the area until 3am.
He said it was fortunate only a small amount of roots had been cut from the tree.

wow…. sounds fascinating
i hope that my comments here would not offend anyone cause i seriously think that the tree is just created out of the mind of a prankster.. A tree with a face.. Ha..ha..I’ve heard better. Perhaps the prankster was so crazed by the Pocahontas movie that he taught he could draw some funny looking face on some so called ghost tree..People, please, you’ve got to just ‘face’ the reality.. The tree isn’t haunted!
This is my first time seeing this kind of trees . It really seems hunted . But if I gt the chance to go penang next few months i would like to visit this place . can i know where is it located ?
i think it’s real, but i dont htink it’s haunted, instead, i think it’s a spirit tree, maybe it’s there to protect the Penang people so that no tsunami’s will come again, or other things, who knows?
LAMENESS!!!! howz this scary???!!! seriously
i dont think this “Face” is manmade,there are lots of phenomenon that happens in a form of face or human body on plants.
o.o Wow! The tree looks really haunted! Scary… :grr:
Well, when I was small, I stayed in the mainland of Penang. There was this tree that got struck by a lightning and it fell. The part that got severed had a human facial feature on it. Well, I think it’s an act of nature that’s all.
OMG!
wow…. well in ancient times…. not so long ago…. there are people who was turned to stone… ad i don’t mean by myth Medusa but real life human… well maybe this tree was a human too???
a possibility….
There are a lot of things like this happen every day all around this world. Sometimes it is hard to explain why these things happen. Nevertheless the people who are living around or who are coming to watch this fascinating creation of God should not harm the tree in any way. It is strange and cannot be explained but it is true.
What rubbish – there is no "higher design" or spirits in trees that appear to have faces. The human brain is wired to see the familiar and patterns in things – human faces are one of the things we're most attuned to visually, so we see them even where they don't exist.
It's like seeing a cloud that looks like a bunny – I doubt very much the cloud is the benevolent spirit of a dead bunny. It's just coincidence and the way we're wired to see things.
