It is also believed that when the spirit cries at night, it can be heard as a warning, signaling that a tragedy would occur in the village or town in the future.
The real appearance of the Furutsubaki-no-rei is said to resemble a grotesque tree with red disfigured heads growing out of its trunk.
One story tells of a great tree that looked past over a village well hidden inside the forest.
One day, a young man found the tree and plucked one of its flowers, due to its magnificent beauty.
After the constant abuse, the tree felt rage and with its new emotion started to grow more beautiful flowers.

Since then, when passing the burial mound at night, the camellia tree takes the form of a beautiful woman and shines by the roadside.
The Osho stated that there have been rumors in the past where people have disappeared on the main road and believed that it must have been the doings of the same woman.
Osho tried to revive the merchant that turned into the bee by chanting sutras, but that did not return him to life or its original human form.
