A hiker has claimed to have seen 'a thin person with no visible face' at a Canadian mountain range.

Reddit user SlicedUpBeef had visited Dundas Peak in Hamilton, Ontario, with his friend after her cousin went there a few days earlier.

She had posted a picture on Instagram of her friend perched on top the cliff looking over Hamilton and the Niagara Escarpment.

In this picture there appears to be a human-like figure lurking on the mountain range in Hamilton

The shadowy figure appears to be in a spot that is 'completely inaccessible', below the Dundas Peak lookout

When SlicedUpBeef got to top of Dundas Peak he and his friend took turns recreating the picture.

His friend then compared the two pictures - and noticed the original Instagram post had a spooky figure lurking in the background, whereas her photo did not.

Writing on Reddit he said: 'Way below the edge of the trail, where the slope is too steep to stand on, there appears to be a thin person standing unnaturally straight with no visible face.

'I know you're probably thinking that is probably just a brave hiker, but trust me, that spot is completely inaccessible.'

When Reddit user SlicedUpBeef tried to recreate the picture, he was unable to spot the same figure

The Reddit user did not see the same shadowy figure when he visited Dundas Peak a few days later

He added: 'Maybe it isn't a person? But I'm not sure what else it can be. I was hoping those who have also been to Dundas Peak and have taken a similar picture could share it. Hopefully we can figure out what the hell we're looking at.'
