    		Perhaps extortionists ??? Sorry, I could not resist this one, But is not the answer that is being sought.

    Do you believe in Tree Spirits? According to the Hindu Times the Indian Village of Madanpura are collecting money ?.. for a ghost!

    Villagers of Madanpura in Bhind district are in the grip of fear of a wrath from the ghost who has been thrown out of its previous house by a natural storm. The ghost was believed to be formally living on that tree, which has been uprooted, and now he wants a separate house for him to live in.

    The villagers are collecting money through donations in order to build a house for the ghost to safeguard their families from his vengeance.
