Sir Paul McCartney has claimed he's been talking to George Harrison, as he believes his late friend's spirit has inhabited a tree at his home.
The music icon, 78, made the candid confession while appearing on NPR earlier this month, and said his fellow Beatles member, who passed away in 2001 from lung cancer, had given him the fir tree as a gift.
He explained: 'George was very into horticulture, a really good gardener, so he gave me a tree as a present. It's a big fir tree and it's by my gate.
'As I was leaving my house this morning, I get out of the car, close the gate and look up at the tree and say, ''Hi, George''.
'There he is, growing strongly. And you know, that takes me back to the time when I hitchhiked with him! They're an ever-present presence, if that's a way to say.'
Paul went on: 'It's lovely. He gave it to me — I just planted it. But then, as the years go by, every time I look at it I go, ''That's the tree George gave me''.
'George has entered that tree, for me. I hope he's happy with that.'

I do. It’s all how you keep people in your heart. Whatever fits in your life. For me it’s music. Everybody that’s ever mattered to me is tied to music through various means. Any time I hear Jethro Tull’s “By Kind Permission Of” I think of my grandmother and the conversation we had when I was listening to it, she was a concert pianist and was very impressed by it.
It fits well within the MoMA aesthetic.
McCartney is an idiot for saying this publicly and giving the location of the tree at gate to this property.
Some deranged Lennon fan will show up with an ax and kill George the tree.
From google, “Paul McCartney has a net worth of $1.2 billion, making him the most successful musician of all time. “
I talk to my late father through the beretta he gave me when I turned 18.

Yes. Tried to listen to Mcartney III. Awful.
Only problem is it keeps trying to leave.
The tree, undoubtedly a Norwegian Wood.
