Most of us, when asked to think of something frightening, immediately picture scenes from horror movies. Trees, however, rarely come to mind. Yet, these ancient organisms have their own unique personalities. Some trees appear welcoming and full of life, while others seem dull or unremarkable. Occasionally, though, certain trees exude such an eerie presence that they captivate anyone who comes across them.

However, when cut or wounded, these trees ooze a thick, bright-red sap, eerily resembling human blood. This unsettling phenomenon has led to myths about the tree possessing lifelike qualities. In reality, the "blood" is a natural defense mechanism that seals wounds and prevents infections—yet its resemblance to fresh wounds makes it one of the most haunting trees in existence.
