One user, who claimed inside knowledge of the other world, suggested: “Looks like a frontline demon!! Where this at?”

Others supported the doom-laden suggestions: “But with the EVIL days we live in now , what if it is a demon wreaking evil deeds all around us? Whether you want to believe it or not, these are the END TIMES.”

However, despite conspiracy theorists predicting imminent rapture, one person came up with a more rational explanation: ‘Richard it’s a damn palm tree and you tried making this s*** famous but it’s not working.’
