A woman walking her dog along a trail in Canada was left scratching her head at the sight of a weird tree that sported an eerie growth resembling a goblin frozen in place. The peculiar discovery, filmed by a witness named Tara, was posted to TikTok last month and has since amassed over a million views. In the video, she and her dog stop in their tracks as they stroll down a path in a wooded area. Marveling "tell me you see that," Tara zooms in on a rather unusual tree with a curious feature that bears an uncanny resemblance to a small humanoid figure. Chillingly, it seems that even her dog is taken aback by the odd growth as the puzzled pooch intently watches the tree as if it is waiting for the creepy formation to suddenly spring to life.
Tara subsequently moves closer to the spooky shape to get a closer look at the oddity, which becomes all the more unsettling as it appears to have a complete face as well as arms and legs. Since being posted online, the footage has spawned an array of responses. Some imaginative viewers suggested that the growth is an elemental being either camouflaging itself or magically stuck to the tree, while more skeptical observers chalk the remarkable humanoid formation to being a case of pareidolia.
