A mechanic has shared footage after claiming to have had something thrown at him by an unidentified creature in dense bushland.

Mark Demetriou was cleaning out a bucket near the Imbil State Forest in south east Queensland while gold prospecting when he claimed something was thrown at him.

'Something large was thrown towards me after tapping the bottom of a bucket to clean it, I had a feeling I was being watched as the bush went silent for a few minutes.' Mr Demetriou wrote.

Mechanic Mark Demetriou shared footage after claiming to have had something thrown at him by an unidentified creature in dense bushland

'So this is what I filmed, it moves to the left after I moved.

'Sorry about the video as I was watching it as well so kept dropping my phone down, it's large and black I really hope you can see it, I was in the Imbil State Forest.'

After taking out his phone and filming a dense area of bush, he can be heard trying to coax whatever he sees out of the bush.

'I can see you looking at me,' he is heard saying as he continues to film the thick scrub.

Mr Demetriou then tried to encourage whatever he was seeing to come out.

He said it was a large log which was thrown in his direction which made him feel uneasy.

'It threw a log towards me and was looking at me when I moved closer it moved but was still there,' he claimed.

The video immediately got the attention of social media users with many asking Mr Demetriou what he thinks he saw.

The Imbil State Forest, in Queensland (pictured), had another alleged 'yowie' sighting in 2014

'No idea what it was but it didn't mind watching me,' he wrote.

'I was trying to film and look with a pick in my hand as it was a bit worrying, I left straight away.

He said he plans to go back to the same spot to try and find any evidence of what it was, including footprints.

A number of social media users were also quick to comment on the video.

'What do you think it might have been? Are you sure it wasn't just a dark bit if bushland like a shaded area as couldn't see anything really,' one user asked.

'It threw a log at you!!!! What!!! But are you 'sure' it didn't fall from a tree above?' another asked.

Mr Demetriou conceded it was a possibility the log had fallen from a tree.

'I hope It just fell from a tree it's one of my favourite spots for orchid pics and want to keep going there,' he said.

Cryptozoological researcher Gary Opit has heard tales of 'yowie' sighting in the same Imbil state Forest.

Another woman told the ABC that her friend saw a yowie in the same region in 2014.

'It was a very good friend of mine and I do believe everything she tells me, and she was also with another friend who I know quite well and who is a school teacher and neither wants to be named for fear of being ridiculed,' she told the publication.
