Potential buyers of a ghost village up for sale were left baffled after spotting odd goings-on there on Google Street View.

Matandrino, out the outskirts of Madrid, Spain has gone on the market for €180,000 (£154,000).

It is cheaper than a flat one-and-a-half hours’ drive away in the capital.

The six-century-old hamlet measures 4,251 square metres and boasts 17 buildings – but they’re practically all in ruins and electricity is a mile away.

By the mid-20th century, Matandrino had 40 residents – but they steadily trickled out over the years, leaving it empty.

Or so it was thought.

On Google Street View, Matandrino wasn’t quite as empty as previously thought.

One online sleuth saw a spooky figure dressed from head to toe in black with a dark veil covering her face.

He said: “I went into Google Maps to see where it was, and this came up.

“Let’s see if anyone’s brave enough to buy it.”

He was followed by Gonzalo who said: “I went on Google Maps to snoop around this village, and I think I just discovered the biggest troll of all time.

“A village abandoned in the 1960s suddenly filled with people doing increasingly surreal things.”

Going through them one by one, he wrote: “A woman who looks like Amy from Big Bang Theory whispers something into the ear of a man holding a Bible dressed as a Buddhist.

“A stunning blonde disguised as an elderly lady walks around in broad daylight holding a lit candle.

“A man dressed entirely in white as if from a cult, holds a stone while the previous protagonists behind him are in exactly the same position.

“A young boy dressed as a gentleman completely in black with a hat is harvesting pitchers that have grown from the ground and putting them into amphorae.

“A 19th-century lady converses with a gentleman sitting on the windowsill, smoking a cigarette.

“Is it the new season of Doctor Who?”

Gonzalo added: “I think there are only three theories to explain this.

“It’s a filming of a TV series or film. It’s a cult. It’s an epic troll.

Another social media user claims to have solved the mystery, revealing it to be a project by photographer Elena Kendall-Aranda called Ghost Town Initiative – Los Despoblados.

Her aim was to show how the abandoned village would have looked had it been inhabited in different eras.

Gonzalo concluded: “Resolved, it’s an artistic initiative by a photographer. So, basically a troll.”

The inhabitants of Matandrino engaged in agriculture and livestock before migrating to larger cities in the 1960s for better job opportunities.

The last person to leave was a cleaner, who moved to nearby Prádena in 1963.

The village has been uninhabited ever since and is still waiting for a buyer to bring some life back to it.
