Who is the mystery undertaker paddling the waters of Lake Burley Griffin?

Canberra has been left confused – and more than a little creeped out – after reports of a mysterious man dressed as an undertaker paddling his way across Lake Burley Griffin in a stand up paddle board apparently fashioned from a coffin.

Experienced paddler Jeanne Mclauchlan spotted the sombre figure gliding across the misty Canberra lake early Saturday morning, telling the Canberra Times the encounter left her perplexed.

“In the distance, as we came towards the (Canberra bell tower) Carillon we noticed a figure emerge from the thick fog,” she told the newspaper.

“It was a figure of a man dressed in a tuxedo and top hat on a stand up paddle (SUP) coffin, complete with flowers, paddling toward us.”

Creepy or the height of fashion? You decided. (Jeanne Mclauchlan)

She said “coffin man” appeared to be completely decked out as an undertaker and had even affixed plastic flowers to his coffin, completing the impression he was a lost member of a funeral procession.

The lonely oarsman has reportedly been spotted on the water several times.

When Ms Mclauchlan asked him where he was going, his response was: “To Queanbeyan cemetery as I have a 3pm grave site to prepare”.
