A mysterious naked and dirty man is said to have been photographed with a spear in the woods of Harz, Germany, after being spotted a few times since 2015 while several rudimentary shelters have been found over the years, according to local authorities.
“We saw the wolf-man when we arrived near the caves […] He was standing on top of one of the caves, holding a long wooden staff like a spear. He didn’t take his eyes off us and didn’t say a word. He looked dirty and behaved like a Stone Age man from a history book,” Gina Weiss, author of the photo, reportedly told German newspaper “Bild,” according to “The Telegraph” on Thursday. .
On Tuesday, the woman was walking with her friend Tobi near the sandstone caves of the Harz National Park when they would have crossed the mysterious character, who would have observed them without saying anything for ten minutes, she would have related.

Except that following the sharing of the photo, local authorities would have told the German media that the man would have been seen a few times since 2015, while they would have found makeshift shelters and the remains of fires over years, thickening the mystery surrounding the character.
In an interview with “The Telegraph”, another local fire department, however, would have described the far-fetched story as “nonsense” and a “joke”, indicating that it had found nothing unusual in the forest on its side.
It is not the first time that stories of hermits have made headlines in Germany, where a third of the territory is covered in dense forests, which have also inspired many legends and fairy tales, including the Brothers Grimm, according to the British media.
