A strange calabash has been discovered in an over 70-year-old tree

after it was cut down at Tema Community two.

He explained he contacted the appropriate authorities to secure a permit

before cutting down the tree and afterward, hired a chainsaw operator.

After falling the tree, Kwabena said he decided to cut them into smaller

logs and that was when the calabash which was rotting away was found.

Eyewitnesses rushed to the tree to catch a glimpse and also take pictures,

however, the calabash vanished into thin air before they could

even complete their photoshoots.

One Sisi Yaa, who owns a shop close by could not hide her joy after

the tree was finally cut down.

According to her, she has been trading under the tree for almost 35 years

yet could not boast of any profit made from the business though she

could not ascertain if that had anything to do with the tree.
