A DOG walker says they were left feeling uneasy following a creepy experience in Clocaenog Forest.

A resident was walking in the huge conifer forest, near Ruthin, on Tuesday, January 9 when they heard "strange noises".

They said: "It was only after they got a bit louder that I thought to turn my phone flash on. Thankfully I managed to snap a picture. This thing was following me around the woods for the best part of 45 minutes - I shouted out to it and it just crawled away at some speed.

"It looked something like a person but was also completely nude. It was one or two degrees that night."

The resident is urging others to be vigilant.
