'Mystery figure haunting the Swiss woods for over a decade'
news.com.au ^ | September 12, 2013

Dressed in a military uniform with a gas mask covering his face, the figure, known as 'Le Loyon', is said to have been haunting the woods for the past decade. He apparently walks the same route every day.

However, there was no evidence of his existence until local news website Le Matin published the first known photograph of the mystery man last month, and now police are trying to track him down. But is it for real?

"He had a military cape, boots and an army gas mark - an antique type, I think. He measured more than 1.9m. He stared at me then turned his back on me and left in silence."

Granted, a gas mask is freaky but he walks the same way every day and carries flowers. Why hasn’t someone said hello? Doesn’t sound like an ax murderer. Anyone bother checking on who owns the property?

Maybe he’s a prepper, practicing his BO route.

I don’t see why the police want to talk to him. There’s no indication that he’s broken any laws.

Does he ask, “Are you my mummy?”

Well then, there's nothing to worry about.

If he'd asked "Are you my Mommy?", there might be something to worry about.

“He had a military cape”

Is that an Aussie-ism, or does the writer not recognize a military poncho when he sees one?

I keep old school woodland camo ponchos around for outdoor event rain gear.

Probably just some bored, unemployed 6ft 8in 20 y/o man, who wants to feel important without being responsible for any meaningful action. The Nordic region produces some really tall people.
