Take a good look at this picture. If you walked by this tree in the forest, would you even notice something weird about it? An astonishing number of people walked by, completely oblivious to the tree shaped like a woman. The photograph is not altered. This tree is in southern Newfoundland, near the Conne River in the forest of the Miawpukek First Nation community. The tree is right on the walking path, but it still took a Facebook post to get anyone to notice it. The crucial person who saw that post was Colleen Lambert, Miawpukek First Nation’s tourism, culture, and recreation director. She came up with the idea of harnessing this “Lady in the Tree” to get more people out in the woods. A Facebook group was launched, along with a contest for Halloween 2022, and soon hundreds of folks were hiking through the woods to find the lady and take a picture with her.

But what you really want to know is how a tree root looks so much like a woman. Her body is all tree. Her head, on the other hand, has its own story. Her head wasn’t there, then it was, then it wasn’t again, but it has returned for Halloween. Read that story at Atlas Obscura.
