But in case you think this is a one-off event and just a freak coincidence, think again; more pictures are included below of other instances of fleeceflower roots taking on human form. What's going on? If you have any information regarding this, please let us know!

Stunned farmer Zheng Dexun dug up a crop of fleeceflower, or Chinese knotweed, and found one shaped like a person, in Langzhong, China. The eerie-looking plant, measuring 62 centimetres tall, has clearly defined arms, legs, and head. Zheng said: "I don't know whether it is good or bad to dig out a Chinese knotweed that looks like a human. I'd better put it back in the earth!"
