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.

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!

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?
