Google Maps users were bemused to find a tower appearing to sprout legs.

An eagle-eyed fan came across the bizarre illusion in Pantelleria, a tiny Italian island between Sicily and the coast of Tunisia.

In the image, which is shot at a national park on the island called Laghetto delle Ondine, viewers can see what look like the ruins of a tower before a pair of legs and shoes appear in the foreground.

The limbs are not attached to a body and they are cut off around the knee.

It confused many Google Maps users who took to Reddit to discuss the peculiar scene.

One wrote: "I was confused at what I was looking at."

Another replied: "Same. I was just looking at this tower thing when out of nowhere some hairy legs appeared out of nowhere."

A third joked: "Dead body reported," while one more commented: "He's wearing camo."

Pantelleria is sometimes called Italy's 'secret island' as it is situated beyond the popular Sicily and is a long way from the mainland.

It is not a destination for beach-lovers. Swimming is mostly off rocks and the island’s only 'beach' is inland, and is made of mud.

Google Maps users often pick up on strange optical illusions on the site.

Recently some spotted these two lovers appearing to share limbs as they enjoyed an intimate clinch on the beach. The woman's leg seemed to be growing out of the shoulder of the man.

And a stunned Reddit user spotted what they thought was a UFO gliding out from behind the clouds in Ochopee, Florida, but it turned out to just be a butterfly.
