A man was left creeped out after finding an effigy of a 'jilted bride' deep in the woods - as it came complete with a wedding dress and was wrapped in barbed wire.
Masedonio Perez, 36, went for a walk in the woods and came across something strange, so went to investigate.
He thought it might be a fallen log or a large chunk of rock, but he was shocked when he realised it was human-shaped and covered in moss.
Digging a little deeper, he realised it was an effigy of a bride, wearing a wedding dress, and at the base were hair curlers, melted candles, and fresh flowers.

Masedonio, from Washington, US, said: "When I got close I realised it was human-shaped. Once I was a few feet from it I saw that it was a wedding dress covered in moss.
"The base of it was broken open and inside were toasters, hair curlers, melted candles and fresh flowers while it was surrounded in barbed wire.
"There were also black berry bushes growing through the chest cavity and moss covering the whole thing.
"It seemed to have been there a while – except for the fresh flowers."
He took pictures of the bizarre discovery and shared the spooky snaps on Facebook, explaining that he had found it while at work on a site that has been abandoned for 20-30 years.
