Have you ever gone on a walk in the woods and felt the sensation as if someone is watching you?

Well, Duffy Springfield and her partner had something of that nature happen to them which left them terrified, as they spotted a disturbing detail in photos that they had taken from the top of a mountain in Panther, West Virginia.

When reaching the top the couple did what everyone does: take pictures of the scenery to mark that they had conquered the hike. But they didn't expect to find something spooky lurking by a nearby structure.

Talking of the trek, which she undertook back in March, Springfield explained that she saw a 'hand' when she finally developed the pictures she took.

Speaking to Newsweek, she said: "I like to do film photography, and my boyfriend and I were making a scrapbook of all the developed photos I took.

"I just kinda saw it—I'm not really sure how I even noticed it since it's such a small detail.

"We both agreed it was weird and thought it even looked a little like a hand. Honestly, we were pretty excited when we saw it because of all the cryptids said to lurk in the West Virginian mountains.

"Even if it's not actually a hand, it's a fun story to have."

Cryptids are pretty much mythical creatures - or at least creatures that are said to exist and have been spotted by people, but there is no evidence to prove such claims.

Common cryptids that are known all around the world are Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster and yetis, but West Virginia is said to home quite a few.

These include Mothman, a man-sized winged creature with glowing red eyes; the Flatwoods Monster, a tall figure with a red face and green body; and Snarly Yow, a canine-like creature that also has glowing eyes. Yikes.

Determined to find out what she had seen, Springfield took to Reddit, posting: "My boyfriend and I aren't really sure what to think.

"We went to a state park in West Virginia during off season, according to the park ranger (and the conditions of the hiking trails) we were the only ones there for the week and had been the first there in a while.

Upon closer inspection of Springfield's picture it appears to show a hand gripping onto the structure which she claimed was about four-foot tall (Duffy Springfield)

"I took this pic at the top of the mountain. Behind the pillar should have been nothing, a drop off to the woods below. Are we bugging? That really looks like a hand."

Someone on the social media platform asked her how big the structure it was 'holding onto was', to which she replied that it was 'about 4ft tall'.

One person commented: "Could be fungus but yeah that really looks like a hand."

While another added: "Go back, it's the only way to be sure. It'd bother you for the rest of your life otherwise."

Whoever commented that would be the first person to typically die in a horror movie!
