A POPULAR travel influencer, famous for visiting some of the world’s most dangerous places, stumbled upon an unsettling scene after taking a walk in a remote Scottish forest.
Callum Abroad, real name Callum Mills, is known for rubbing shoulders with the likes of the Taliban and Pablo Escobar’s brother during his travels to some of the Earth’s most dangerous and daunting locations.
However, the vlogger’s latest unnerving venture, filmed yesterday, was much closer to home as he stumbled upon a bunch of creepy mannequins on a decrepit property deep in Tentsmuir Forest, Dundee.
Filming as he walks through the woods, Callum happens upon a strange scene with mannequins, seemingly empty buildings and a wrecked car.
His spooky footage shows, as he approaches the area, an abandoned, rusted car with plants growing in it left to rot on the side of the path.
Calum, bewildered by the discovery deep in the forest, can be heard exclaiming: “What is this?”
He continues filming as he pans his camera across a dilapidated building and an old, rusted motor now playing home to overgrown weeds, saying: “That’s very strange.”
There appears to be a small gate leading into a compound of sorts that Calum has discovered the entrance of.
Artworks of strange faces are seen hanging on the walls of the compound, facing out at any passersby.
The unsettling scene is added to by the presence of mannequins arranged in poses outside of the compound walls.
Spookily, the mannequins are seen in various stages of undress and posed as if in the middle of acting out a scene, with one seemingly painting.
Callum, spotting the first of the mannequins exclaims: “In fact, there’s a mannequin as well. There’s two mannequins, with fishnet tights on, that is very strange.”
He continues as he films more of the life-size dolls outside of the compound: “Look at the mannequins, that one’s got nothing on the bottom.”
Theorising on who lives at the bizarre compound, Callum continues: “I’m assuming it must be some sort of hippie or something that lives here, that’s very strange.”
Turning the camera to record himself he continues: “That’s weird, isn’t it? In the forest, there’s clothes hanging up.
“Looks like women’s clothes, there’s another [mannequin]. What the hell, that’s so strange. I don’t know where the mannequins come into it though.”
Turning his camera to film more of the compound Calum spots yet more mannequins and dwellings.
He films an ominous looking gateway which leads to an old caravan, as he exclaims: “There’s another mannequin there, there’s a caravan through there as well.
“Look at the gate, that’s very strange.”
The scene is completed with a mannequin’s head floating in a bath of water, alongside a troupe of four of the other human-like dolls standing in the undergrowth, staring out at Callum
He theorises: “It looks very hippie. It must be some sort of hippie-ish thing, imagine coming up here at night and walking through here and seeing them, that’s madness.”
His video shared yesterday has since received over 430 likes and more than 65 comments from bemused social media users.
One user said: “That looks like if you go there on the wrong day, it will be the last thing you ever see.”
Another wrote: “I used to know an old hermit that lived in a place like that, minus the mannequins, in a really remote spot by a loch.
“God only knows how he survived the winters without electricity or gas. These people exist.”
A third replied: “Was waiting for the jump scare when one of those mannequins came to life.”
Another commented: “All of a sudden – the tune from Deliverance, played with bagpipes.”
A fifth added: “A weird but friendly chap lives in the caravan. Just think he’s an oddball and recluse, weird but kind of funny and nice at same time.”
