The evidence of very unusual trees has survived to this day, which no one can detect today.
Mysterious “luminous tree”
One of them is the so-called. the “luminous tree” about which in 1885 told his readers the English magazine “The Theosophist. ”
This tree, stated in the note, grows in Nevada, near the city. Tuscarora, in a gorge with thermal springs. It looks like resembles barberry, but at night it emits radiant light by everyone with its branches and leaves.
In height, it slightly exceeds human growth, and its trunk three times wider than the male wrist. This wonderful tree has a huge number of branches and branches. At certain periods its leaves glow so brightly that at night this radiance can be seen on a distance of more than one and a half kilometers. In the immediate same near a tree, a person can read text printed at night small print.
The foliage of the “luminous tree” is extremely lush; in form the size and color of its leaves resemble a California laurel. It seems likely that the light feature of this plant has a parasitic nature. The leaves of the tree are covered with incomprehensible sticky. substance, and if you collect and grind it in your hand, it will also become shine. But the leaf, devoid of this substance, is completely “go out”, reported at the end of the note.
… Today we can only guess what it was sticky substance. Perhaps there was a kind of symbiosis between the tree and bioluminescent organism? It’s hard to say there are no trees now, or they are well “hiding” from a person …
Refined “Musical Tree”
About another no less unusual tree told in 1943. Australian Newton Argus Newspaper South Wales. On January 20, an article appeared about a tree publishing musical sounds.

There is also a note in the American newspaper “Petersburg Times” that the stalk of the “evil tree” was brought to the United States, where a similar tree began to grow from it.
It happened in Virginia, and the “behavior” of the tree observed many eyewitnesses. When the sun was setting, the branches and leaves of a plant neatly and tightly folded into small “coils” resembling pork tails. When you touch the leaves with your fingers, they began to move uneasily and rustle and remained so light excitement for about a minute.
When a tree was transplanted into another pot, it is especially angry: the leaves began to stick out sharply in different directions, as if spikes, making the tree turn into a bristling ball. In addition, from a sickening pungent odor emanated from him. At least an hour passed before the tree calmed down and took its former shape.
So what was this creation? And was it at all? Probably we we will never know this …
The blood-sucking “snake tree”
About this unique from Mexico on March 30, 1901. told the newspaper “The Muswellbrook Chronicle.” Tree Reaching 6 meters, first wanted to plant a significant area of the park, as it suddenly turned out to be a real predator! ..

As soon as the animal or bird touched such a branch as the victim was surrounded by many powerful tentacles, holding her until all the blood has been drunk …

Some reports even said that the “porcupine tree” in the time of his attack emits a frightening hiss. One of the eyewitnesses Colonel Bryce Dion wrote: in Arizona there are more weird and unusual things than in any other part of our wide land. However, the strangest thing in these parts is the tree, whose character is worse than that of a comedic blonde diva operas. Some people call this tree “porcupine”, while others call it a stink. I but I believe that this is a tree of sacred horror. However, as if his nor called, it is a very strange creature of nature …
… In old publications you can find many more similar stories, however, today nothing is known about these amazing trees, and they represent a real mystery to us.
