Google Maps Street View: Man wearing sinister mask spotted hiding in very creepy photo

Google Maps Street View hides a wealth of intriguing images. People are snapped all over the world by the tech giant’s camera. Most of the time there is very little of interest about these folk.

In the image, it appears as though the man is hiding.

He is crouched down between two trees.

However, his stance is not the oddest thing about the shot.

It’s what is on his head.

DON’T MISS

His face cannot be seen at all.

This is because he is wearing what appears to be a gas mask.

The highly sinister mask hides all of the man’s features and renders the scene very frightening indeed.

Furthermore, his crouched, almost animalistic position makes it look like he could be about to pounce right out the screen towards the viewer.

Of course, there’s no knowing who the man is due to the obstructing gas mask.

However, if his face was on show Google Maps would take steps to protect his identity.

The website states online: “Google takes a number of steps to protect the privacy of individuals when Street View imagery is published to Google Maps.

“We have developed cutting-edge face and license plate blurring technology that is designed to blur identifiable faces and license plates within Google-contributed imagery in Street View. “
