Urgent hunt for naked man prowling in front of homes in a gimp mask
Ring Doorbell owners were shocked to find a nude man prowling around in front of their cameras on Westby Street, Cleveland Road and Bannister Street
The UK has yet another naked man wearing only a gimp mask on the loose.
Ring Doorbell owners were shocked to find a nude man prowling around in front of their cameras on Westby Street, Cleveland Road and Bannister Street in Lytham, Lancashire, in the early hours of July 18.
Lancashire Police said: ‘We are aware of a concerning video circulating on social media of a naked male wearing a face covering walking around Lytham in the early hours of the morning.
‘This incident was not initially reported to police and has only been brought to our attention after it has been viewed on Facebook.
‘Fylde Rural Task Force are currently conducting CCTV and house to house enquiries and would like to reassure you that we are taking this matter seriously.
The man was spotted walking around Lytham in the early hours of the morning
He was captured on Ring Doorbells walking around alone at night
‘We can confirm this incident occurred on the 18th July 2025 at approximately 00:50 hours, not on the 31st July as suggested by a recent anonymous Facebook post.’
It comes just a few weeks after ‘Pantherman’ was spotted quite literally prowling around gravestones in Merseyside.
A person dressed in a catsuit has been terrorising locals after being spotted stalking people along secluded paths and reportedly leaping out from behind gravestones.
The mysterious figure, dressed in a skin-tight black cat suit and mask, was captured on camera meowing and writhing on the ground near Wallasey Beach, Merseyside.
Footage shows the person wriggling under a fence near a Harvester pub in the Wirral before prancing along a path.
Another video shows people in a car screaming as the figure approaches close by.
Residents claim he resembles a ‘banshee,’ ‘urban jaguar’ and even a ‘gimp’ and locals like Abbie Gilbert have said the community are trying to hunt ‘him or it’ down.

But Abbie said she saw the funny side and told Metro: ‘I really found the whole thing quite amusing and I can’t believe how many people in Wirral have also had encounters and are aware of him.
‘From everyone’s sightings, the Pantherman is harmless although he does look scary. I really don’t think he’s dangerous, just a bit strange.’
