A survivalist has sent pulses racing after accidentally capturing an eerie figure stalking his campsite late at night.
Jack ‘Strick’ Strickland set himself a challenge of camping at Skull Island, off the north coast of Queensland, for 24 hours.
He shared his daring adventure to his YouTube channel Back 2 Basics Adventures revealing the island was no stranger to danger – and had a very dark history.
‘Welcome to one of the most remote but haunted places in Australia,’ he began.
‘This place has the craziest history of cannibals, head hunting and unlikely survival that I have ever heard.’
He goes on to share footage of him getting interrupted in the dead of the night by a noise.
‘I’ve got crazy goosebumps at the moment, I heard someone outside,’ he tells the camera.
‘My fire is now going again that I put out hours ago and I heard foot prints straight unmistakably outside my swag, it woke me up.’

The figure was caught on a trail camera that only starts filming from movem,ent
The following morning he goes on to share the his overnight camera picked up footage of a faceless ghost-looking-figure scurrying away in the distance of his tent.
‘These trail cameras only start filming when two things happen if there is movement in front of it or if there is a heat source in front of it,’ he said.
‘The crazy thing, this starts filming when I reckon I heard the noise and 10 seconds later you see me then turn the torch on and filming inside the swag and then I come outside.
But there is no obvious movement, a heart source of something has triggered this.’
However, online critics have hit back question why he was on the island.
‘You never got permission from traditional owners to camp thats why you were disturbed. These are sacred islands that you camped on without permission,’ one user commented.
Other social media users questioned whether the ghostly figure was real and merely a reflection from his head lamp.
‘Lense flare. It’s literally the headlights reflection in the lens,’ one wrote.
‘I think that was either a reflection off the lense or a dust mote/bug. I’m curious to know why there weren’t any tracks in the sand,’ another added.
Skull Island is a part of the Sir Edward Pellew Group of islands which lie in the bay into which the McArthur River flows, King Ash Bay, within the Gulf of Carpentaria.
