The mysterious Google Street View 'Horse Boy' has reappeared on the streets of Aberdeen, after a short, unexplained disappearance.
The original Horse Boy, a man in a purple jumper and a rubber horse's head mask, was spotted on Google Street View on Hardgate in Aberdeen. He has appeared separately, now in a green jumper and with a human-headed schoolgirl companion, on Hazlemere Road in the same city.
The first, purple-jumpered image was taken down by Google for a while, but has now been restored. No explanation was given either for the disappearance or subsequent restoration.
Nonetheless he has become an international phenomenon. Stefan Kleen from Germany said he met horse-boy at a festival: "He only spoke English so we didn't really talk a lot to him." He has also apparently been spotted in Norwich and Cardiff.
A YouTube user by the name of TheHumanHorse has posted a video claiming to be Horse Boy, saying: "I am Back! After I was spotted on Google Street View I thought I’d upload this video to show I am still around! Horse boy coming to a garden near you soon!"
However, commenters point out that he seems to have lost a lot of weight since his Street View appearances, suggesting that the search for the real Horse Boy may still be ongoing
