If you’ve been on TikTok lately, it’s likely been all over your For You Page: A Florida-based creator has gone viral after claiming a tree outside his home is slowly moving closer to him. It’s an idea that sounds like pure internet paranoia, until you consider that scientists have documented trees in Ecuador that appear to “walk” nearly 60 feet in a year through slow root movement and shifting soil.
The creator, who posts under Iscaredads (@sorrytoyourfather), has drawn millions of views after uploading a series of videos attempting to prove the tree in his yard is not only unusual, but actively changing position. In one widely shared clip, he walks viewers through his reasoning, insisting the tree is not just unfamiliar, but potentially impossible. And people are invested.
