Google Maps opens up the world to the average internet user.
Using the application its easy to experience some of the most beautiful places in the world.
Although, it can also expose some of the more shocking or creepy aspects of our world.
A pair of dismembered legs can be seen on Google Earth in Romania in a very remote sport, but all is not what it seems.
While at first this sounds like a horrifying discovery, the image is just a trick of the camera.
A hiker’s legs have been mysteriously cut off as they were exploring the stunning scenery.
However, there is something creepy about the destination itself.
The legs can be found in Sibiu County, which is a county of the historical region of Transylvania.
Images from the site show a stunning vista of huge rock faces covered with rolling mist.
Dark waters of a small lake can also be seen. Tents are dotted around the stunning location.
Transylvania is often associated with being the home of the fictional vampire Dracula, created by Bram Stoker.
Thanks to this association it has been used as a setting in various fantasy novels and films etc.
That includes Paulo Coelho’s novel The Witch of Portobello.
More creepy Google Maps Street View sightings came to light when a Reddit thread asked internet users: “What creepy place have you accidentally visited using Google Maps?”
One wrote: “I used to poke around this old abandoned factory in Ohio that was famous for having a huge collection of creepy, abandoned rubber ducks laying around.
“Sadly, the factory burned down in 2015.
“If you go on Google Maps you can still see it from the satellite view, but when you zoom in to Street View the building disappears.”
An Italian man was caught in an embarrassing pose with a blonde woman on Google Maps Street View recently.
The man was spotted paying quite a lot of attention to the young woman.
It is hoped the man turned his head shortly afterwards as he can be seen approaching a junction.
