PHOTOS: Chinese tourist photographs 'beast' that resembles Gollum

A Chinese tourist was in for something of a surprise after he came across this bizarre looking 'monster' while out camping near Beijing.

The man was camping with friends in a valley in Huairou, Beijing, when he spotted the human-like 'beast'.

The images sparked speculation as to the origin of the creature after they were posted online.

But a science fiction actor seems to have settled the argument after claiming he was pictured by somebody while filming in the mountains.


The tourist who took the pictures said: '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 by my courage then.'

Who are we to believe? Wonders shall never end.
