A Chinese tourist has claimed online to have encountered a human-like 'monster' in a valley in Huairou, Beijing.

The unnamed man was camping with some friends when he encountered the creature, who has an uncanny resemblance to Gollum from the hit Lord of the Rings films, hidden amongst the plants.

'I walked far away to have a pee, and suddenly saw a monster. I took a few pictures of it, but I am now terrified'.

It is still unclear if the pictures are real, but one online commenter who saw the images wrote: 'Over the weekend I and my friends went to the mountains to take a mini sci-fi film. And when I was having a pee a person popped up and took pictures of me and shot away.'
