Creepiest Trees on Earth

Trees are beautiful creations. There are more than 100,000 species of trees the world over – evergreens, flowering and fruit trees, tall trees, short trees and anything in between. Trees are known to have existed for the past 370 million years and men certainly made good use of these trees.  There are trees that are quite spectacular because of their looks.  Mother Nature “molded” them differently as they look creepy if not outright scary. Here are some of the creepiest trees on earth.

1. 30 Creepiest Trees on Earth (photos): The photos of creepy-looking trees on this website were taken from different countries.

From the screaming tree, to the alligator-eyed, face on tree, poodle-looking tree, these trees are indeed creepy! (www.environmentalgraffiti.com)
2. 8 of the Creepiest Trees on Earth (photos): A gnarled old oak tree certainly has its own creepiness level but this is probably nothing compared to the photos of these weird-looking trees.  There’s the demented apple tree in Montreal, Canada. There’s the creepy tree that seems to stand as sentinel somewhere in Cambridge, Massachusetts. What about that creepy birch tree in Portugal with the face on an angry owl on its trunk? (www.mnn.com)

4. 10 Strangest Trees on Earth (photos): Creepy and strange trees could be deemed the same. If it’s strange enough, it could be creepy. If it’s creepy, then it’s strange!  The El Arbol de La Sabina’s branches grew down instead of up.  The largest cashew tree in the world covers an area of 8,500 square meters! The Tree of Life in Bahrain is a 400 year old mesquite tree that thrives in the desert. (www.zuzutop.com)
5. 10 Oldest Trees in the World (photos): A tree that is more than 4,800 years old is named Methuselah. Located somewhere in Nevada, this Bristlecone pine tree is the oldest tree in the world. Another old tree is the 4,000 year old cypress called Sarv-e-Abarkooh, found in Iran. The very old tress featured on this website might not be exactly creepy-looking but a very old tree that has stood the test of time is creepy enough for me! (www.environmentalgraffiti.com)
