The sighting has become a popular attraction on Google's service, which offers a photographic map of streets. The man is wearing dark trousers, a purple shirt - and a brown and white horse's head. Dozens of BBC news website users have e-mailed from across Europe to say they know who horse boy is. Others have sent in images of the mystery horse-head wearer and some have claimed to be him. Stefan Kleen from Germany said he and a friend met horse-boy at a German festival last weekend. He added: "He only spoke English so we didn't really talk a lot to him." Anders Hauge reckons he has been shopping in Haugesund in Norway; John Hammond was convinced he was playing the fairways and relaxing in the bars of Marbella and Julian Sykes said he had been sighted in Cardiff. John Ainsworth insisted he saw horse-boy in Norwich earlier in the year walking through Wensum Park. He said: "I thought I was hallucinating at first but then realised it was real."[/quote]
Dav0r on here has one of those masks
Was this actually BBC newsworthy?
I'm not one to judge, but it somewhat looks photoshopped, not sure what it is though. It may be the colors or the fact that he has no shadow. He also seems to stick out.
[QUOTE=starpluck;22851037]Was this actually BBC newsworthy?[/QUOTE] Not really. Funny none the less.

I'm sorry, but are they trying to say he's actually a half-horse half-human?

It's a mask, I've seen photos of guys wearing the exact same one.

Creepy as fuck.
I thought this was going to be about some sort of new cryptid sighted on a google maps photo, not just some guy wearing a mask. I am disappointed :saddowns:
A Dark Knight
[QUOTE=Ishmael12;22851238]Still, the ground by his feet seems to have been touched up by the heal tool.[/QUOTE] That's just the combination of JPEG compression and Google's software thinking that it has found a face (even though a lot of the time it's wrong) and blurring it.
I've seen a mask like that online, except the one I saw was a latex one that you apply to your face using makeup and stuff like that. Still a bit creepy...

I've seen a video of a guy wearing a same mask dancing almost naked in a forest cooking mushrooms :wtc:

Don't remember who's avatar it was, but I think that might be him dressed.
