Most rivers when frozen over offer a picturesque winter scene.
But one photo has shocked the internet with its chilling resemblance to a horror movie figure.
The photo of Irtysh River in Russia has been posted on Imgur.
This frozen river looks like a ghoul – or a scream mask.
The resemblance is striking – its eyes look almost symmetrical while its mouth is wide open.
This ghostly picture was uploaded to Imgur with the title Irtysh River in Russia Froze Over in Style.
Since then it has gone viral with nearly 180,000 views.
Many have taken to making ghoulish jokes about the image on the website.
The daunting footage was captured at Alexandra Canal in Sydney’s south.
Lurking in the water at a distance was a distinct fin stalking along next to a bridge.
The fin suddenly started moving in the direction of the camera, coming right up to the bank of the canal.
As it turned around against the wall of the waterway, the great white could be clearly seen just under the water.
