SAN ANTONIO (Aug. 12) - Is it an artesian spring, a broken water pipe or an abandoned well? Lucille Pope's red oak tree has gurgled water for about three months, and experts can't seem to get to the root of the problem.

Pope, 65, has sought answers from the Texas Forest Service, the Edwards Aquifer Authority and nurseries. They have taken pictures and conducted studies, but none have arrived at a firm answer.

"I got a mystery tree," Pope said in Friday editions of the San Antonio-Express News. "What kind of mystery do I have where water comes out of a tree?"

Her son, Lloyd, 47, discovered water leaking from the tree in April. He said it was cool, like it came from the tap. The only damp spot around the tree trunk is where the water lands.

Mark Peterson, a regional community forester from the Texas Forest Service said he believes it could be a spring, but pointed out that would be rare with the drought conditions this summer.

"If it is a burst pipe their monthly bill would be enormous," Peterson said.

Lucille Pope has started to wonder if the water has special properties. Her insurance agent dabbed drops of the water on a spider bite and the welt went away, she said.

"I just want to know if it is a healing tree or blessed water," she said. "That's God's water. Nobody knows but God."

I say it could definately be a natural occurance. Much stranger is the statue of Christ that bleeds still today:

It doesn't get much mention today, but the stuff coming out of that statue was definately blood, since it was analyzed by a real labratory. The lab results were interesting, too:
"hemoglobin, hetero protein of a red colour that exists in hematoid, or red globules." (Blood). It even contained DNA -- which is pretty amazing! Not only that, but the statue was subject to a CAT scan and X-Rays to make sure there isn't some sort of device inside that makes it leak out blood or water. It is simply a hollow statue. Hundreds just like it have been sold.

All trees have water in them, as they all drink. It could be that this tree could have some sort of flaw in it that allows some of the water that normally would nurish it or evaporate from the leaves, to gravity feed (and possibly filter on the way down) and leak out. I've cut down trees that have literally gushed gallons of water -- but the water is usually not clear colored, but redish. It is different from sap, as it comes from the heartwood (core) of the tree.
