Spooky Alert! Man Discovers Effigy Of 'Jilted Bride' Hidden In The Woods

A man made a rather unsettling discovery in the woods - an effigy of a 'jilted bride' surrounded by household appliances and barbed wire.

Masedonio Perez, 36, from Washington, US, was working on-site as a water well driller when he spotted something spooky in the woods. Curious to know what it was, he went to have a look.

Perez initially thought it might have be a fallen log or a large chunk of rock, but he was in for a rude shock when he realised it was human-shaped and covered in moss.

He soon realised it was an effigy of a bride, wearing a wedding dress, and at the base were hair curlers, melted candles, and fresh flowers.

"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, Masedonio told Jam Press.

"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 added.

He took pictures of the bizarre discovery and shared them on Facebook, explaining that he had found it while at work on a site that has been abandoned for 20-30 years.

The post has garnered over 1,000 likes and tons of comments from baffled viewers.

"That is truly weird and frightening!" another user commented.

"That almost looks like some kind of burial heads stone. I wonder if someone is buried there," another user said.

"This is interesting. I do feel some spirits are here, hiding in the trees," a third user said.

"Oh my god, thatĄ¯s so weird especially to be out there in the middle of the woods. Jilted bride maybe?" one commenter said.
