A chinese tourist has taken what he says is a photo of a “monster” hiding in the valleys of Huairou, in the north of Beijing.
The unnamed holidaymaker was camping with some friends in the hilly region, not far from the Great Wall of China, when he saw the “creature”.
“I walked far away to have a pee, and suddenly saw a monster. I took a few pictures of it, but I am now terrified.”
The image of the strange flesh-coloured creature nestled among the bamboo is certainly striking, and has a marked resemblance to the creature Gollum from the Lord of the Rings films.
However, rather than being fake, a sci fi actor has since come forward to admit it was actually him taking a break from filming.
The actor was also rather embarrassed to reveal that his ‘monster-like stance’ was due to him squatting down on the floor to urinate.
‘Over the week I and my friends went to the mountains to make a mini sci-film film,’ he said.
‘And when I was having a pee a person popped up and took pictures of me and shot away.’
