The town in question is called Rhyolite in the state of Nevada.

It used to be a mining town at the start of the 20th century but was deserted by the 1920s and is now a spooky tourist attraction.

Cline was looking at the town on Google Earth when he spotted creepy figures congregating in a circle.

His viral video has been viewed over 17 million times.

He talks viewers through his Google Earth search by saying: “You’re gonna go down to the desert, just like this.

“Zoom in right here and once you get all the way down, you are going to find a circular object that kind of looks like a thumb print.”

He adds: “What you are about to see, I cannot explain and I do not understand, I am literally thinking that I don’t supposed to see this.”

Once clicking on the Street View feature, an abandoned house is revealed.

A spooky white cloaked figure with a bicycle is spotted nearby but it’s when Cline turns the Street View around that you spot the weird circle gathering of figures.

Cline says: “But that’s not just it, if you flip it around – there’s a whole lot of them in a circle doing some sort of weird ceremony.”

A lot of people were spooked by the video but some TikTok users gave Cline an explanation.
