Google Maps Street View, over the years, has become well known for its diverse content. People from all over the world are caught by the Google camera’s lens. Sometimes, these folk are up to some very odd activities indeed.
The Street View photo shows a group standing on a pedestrian path by the side of the road.
Four stand on one side of the path and four stand on the other – and their presence appears somewhat threatening.
Exactly who – or what – these figures are is unclear.
The eight beings all have human bodies – but it’s their heads which might send a chill down one’s spine.
DON’T MISS
Rather than having human heads, the figures all have giant pigeon heads.
The beady eyes look straight forward at the camera beside a prominent beak.
When it was discovered online, Reddit users were quick to share their thoughts on the image.
Many were terrified by the alarming sight.
Another wrote: “One more reason I love Japan.”
On closer inspection, it is clear that the group are simply people who have donned giant pigeon headdresses.
According to website Virtual Globetrotting: “The story behind this spooky photo, of course, is more prosaic: the people in the unnerving pigeon masks were writers from a blog who ‘caught word’ Google’s cameras would be in the area, so they dressed accordingly and laid in wait.
“A Google camera strapped to a guy’s back caught the results.”
