This tree, strangely adorned with 32 bottles, is apparently the object of worship for devotees who wish for anything ranging from striking 4D to good health. The tree is located in the heart of Singapore's central business district at the junction of Keppel and Anson roads.

According to the Singapore Paranormal Investigators' (SPI) report:

"Of the many trees that line the Tanjong Pagar Complex, this one stands out because it is adorned with many bottles.

"There were 32 bottles altogether - strung into 16 pairs. The condition of the bottles suggest that they were all put up at the same time; there were uniform levels of corrosion on them.

"The bottles contained a liquid that was clear and showed only minute traces of contamination by pollution and weathering.

"There were some empty bottles and string found tucked behind the tree. This suggests that more bottles would be progressively added to it, possibly in stages.

"There were also some decorated bottles placed near the tree. One featured detailed flower patterns and made to resemble a lantern.

"At the foot of the tree is a strange object made from metal wire. The wire had been skilfully woven into a circular object with the ends left sticking up, resembling a pair of pointed horns. A red make-shift tassel was attached to each end of the horns. In front of this strange object were burnt joss sticks stuck on the ground.



"There is evidence that offering rituals have been performed at the tree. It reminds one of the offerings made to spirits during the Hungry Ghost festival.

"While tree worshipping or the making offerings to spirits in natural objects is commonly performed in Singapore, the practice of hanging bottles on a tree is not."

The SPI also pointed out that hanging bottles on the tree may be considered littering and the people responsible could potentially be fined.
