People left terrified after spotting creepy face hidden in 'unsettling' group photo

People are creeped the f**k out after spotting a hidden face in an 'unsettling' group photo online.

Those with sniper vision - who often live for those 'can you see it?' photos shared on Reddit - will soon regret having such a skill.

Taking to a r/whenyouseeit sort-of thread, one user uploaded an image a friend sent them.

"A friend of mine sent me this picture from his group of friends in Chile," the caption read.

In the photo, there's six people sharing a selfie together while on a hike.

When you see it, you'll wish you didn't (Reddit)

They are followed by a number of people walking up the trail behind them, surrounded by greenery.

However, it turns out that there are actually seven people in the selfie - and you've got to look real close to spot them.

I'll give you a moment - and sorry in advance.

If you've been looking for a few minutes now and can't see anything, here's a clue.

Take a look at the bottom left of the photo.

There happens to be another person in between the two women on the left.

Apologies if you've just s**t your pants.

Oops (Reddit)

After noticing the extra person, social media users were utterly horrified, as one person commented: "I am not exaggerating when I say that when I finally saw it, I got goosebumps and felt genuine fear. Wtf. I believe in ghosts again now."

Another penned: "My dumba** was looking at the red thing in the bottom left corner. I was like uhhh looks like someone was just cut out the pic… then BOOM, I saw it. Runs to hide under the covers."

Instead, a third person thought: "It's just a person that's also in the group with their face being hidden in shadow by the two around it, and made to look creepy with that intense blue filter.

"You can even see the top of the person's head and hair illuminated normally by the daylight."

While someone else admitted: "It gave me chills, for sure. Usually I just laugh these things off, or assume the photo is doctored in a way I can’t really detect, but not this time.

"And once you see it, you can’t try to make it be something else, like the way the guy’s jacket is bunched up, or a combination of that and part of the hair from one of the girls.

"Nothing else fits. It’s very clearly something/someone that doesn’t belong there."
