The Lady in the Tree
Status: Pareidolia
More tree pareidolia. But this time, it's not the Virgin Mary. It's a naked lady. In theory, it could be a naked Virgin Mary, but no one has made that claim.

The tree, which is over 100 years old, stood on a corner in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It was going to be cut down. After its branches were removed, local residents noticed the woman. It wasn't enough to save the tree. They chopped it down anyway, but the owners are planning on making a statue out of the wood.

More from the Hoax Museum Archives:
Naked? I don't know. At best it looks like a firgure facing away from the camera trying to climb the tree. The figure has its left leg up like it's climbing a step. And its left arm is reaching up to the branch.

That's the best I can make out of it and that's pretty iffy.

It's obviously a Dryad. It was a crime to cut her down.

I don't see how it's naked

Maybe the MAN who saw it first lives a very lonely life filled only with hope.

It's like a rohrshach test. I see a naked lady very clearly, which evidently says more about me than about the tree.

Wow, this time I actually see! A naked woman climbing the tree! And her ass is perfectly normal, Dan.

See, us pagans know how to put a woman in a tree - none of that veiled, barely-visible message from God malarkey - no, we have a full blown naked woman!

I see Wile E Coyote who ran into a tree chasing the Road Runner =)
