In the latest dosage of nightmare fuel, a pale cloaked figure in North Carolina is randomly appearing around playgrounds in North Carolina—but that's not even the worst part.

A photo posted online appears to show a person in a black cloak dropping raw meat around a North Carolina playground. According to the Gaston Gazette, people are clueless as to who the figure is and authorities are flat out puzzled.

The photo was uploaded to a Facebook group earlier this week and has since gone viral. Many are speculating just who, or what, this mysterious figure could be.

Lance Calhoun, the director of operations for Southwood Realty, claims that he doesn't know if it's one of their residents presenting themselves in an "interesting way," or if he has a trespasser on his hands.

Maybe the Gaston Gazette is actually behind the whole thing and it's just one of those Jimmy Kimmel type hoaxes to drum up a viral buzz.
