Truth behind 'creepy' Google Earth photo
A TikToker has gone viral after sharing his shock find of a “group of creepy men in a circle” on Google Earth.
Jason Cline posted the video, which has gained almost 18 million views, last month with the caption “really weird things found on Google Earth”.
He begins the footage by zooming in on a “circular object that looks like a thumbprint” in the US state of Nevada.
“This is where it starts to get crazy,” he says.
“What you’re about to see I cannot explain and I do not understand.”
The video then shows Mr Cline clicking on the Street View to see a white figure standing next to a bicycle.
“But that's not just it, if you flip it around, there’s a whole group of them in a circle doing some sort of weird ceremony,” he says, showing 12 of the same white cloaked figures standing in a row.
Numerous viewers said they were terrified of the find, while others discovered a less sinister explanation behind the figures.
The white statues are actually an art installation in Rhyolite in Death Valley National Park.
It was created by Belgian artist Albert Szukalski and is called ‘Last Supper’.
The ghost town was the location of a huge mining boom in the late 1800s and early 1900s but the lights officially went out in 1914, according to Travel Nevada.
In less than a year, the town was almost totally abandoned and has now become a tourist attraction featuring the rundown remains of what once was.
