Eagle-eyed viewers spot The Shining-type figure in Google street view of cemetery
EAGLE-eyed viewers have spotted The Shining-type figure in a resurfaced Google Maps street view of a cemetery.
The fear-provoking Google Maps image was taken near a tree-lined fence in Martha Chapel Cemetery in Huntsville, Texas.
Peeking out from behind a large tree appears to be the head of a young grey-skinned girl, according to Escape, which reported on the years-old Google maps view.
As gravestones are seen in the grass-covered ground, what seems to be more creepy, is the figure in the distance behind the fence.
The Grim Reaper-type figure is seen wearing what some would presume to be a dark, hooded robe.
The scary image has resurfaced on the internet two years after a Google Street View video was shared to YouTube on August 24, 2018.
The footage has since received more than 730,000 views.
According to the YouTube user who uploaded the footage, people who choose to look on Google Maps street view with the coordinates provided in the video description can see “other people there and their skin tone is normal.”
“The coordinate was sent to me by someone who wishes to remain anonymous,” YouTuber The Hidden Underbelly 2.0 wrote.
“But because of this doesn’t mean that this is fake as the only people the could have photoshopped these images would have to work for google maps and my source doesn’t work for them.”
Despite what the hair-raising photo appears to show, someone commented on the YouTube post saying: “HAHAHA. That’s my daughter. She was hiding while I shot the panoramic photo using Google’s Street View app.
“If you swing around 180 degrees from where she is you can see an actual paranormal ‘investigator,’ setting up his equipment while his wife leafs through a magazine.”
The comment prompted The Hidden Underbelly 2.0 to say: “No way. Well thats the little girl solved.
“Hope she doesn’t mind being portrayed as a ghost.”
The girl may a kid playing in the woods, but her identity remains unknown.
However, some people may still believe the young girl is a ghost and the figure behind the fence is something demonic.
According to Dana Goolsby with TexasEscapes, Bowden Road leading to the cemetery in Huntsville has also been dubbed “Demons Road.”
The road “has a steady flow of reports regarding the experiences travelers claim to have had while driving down the old road,” Goolsby explained.
“People that wander off down ‘Demons Rd’ tell tales of disturbing encounters, and an eerie feeling that sweeps over anyone who dares disrupt the spirits said to be lingering down.”

GhostTexas has reported that the name of the cemetery derives from Martha’s Chapel, a “church community also known as Robinson’s Settlement.”
“The cemetery is the middle of what was the settlement, the website states.
“Claims of voices and shadow people have been made in the cemetery along with spirit hands coming out of the ground to grab unexpected passers-by.”
