  We review the generalization of tunneling time and anomalous behaviour of
Faraday and Kerr rotation angles in parity and time
($\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$)-symmetric systems. Similarities of two phenomena are
discussed, both exhibit a phase transition-like anomalous behaviour in certain
range of model parameters. Anomalous behaviour of tunneling time and
Faraday/Kerr angles in $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric systems is caused by
the motion of poles of scattering amplitudes in energy/frequency complex plane.
