A series of underground tunnels have been dug up in a Seattle park by a mysterious homeless man residents are calling the "moleman."
The digger has not only caused a great deal of confusion among local residents, but also among park officials, who have so far been unable to determine where he has gone, according to the Daily Mail.
The trails and holes dug up by the mysterious man zig-zag through Cheasty Greenspace and come with ditches, steps for people to walk up and down on, and even an irrigation system.
"They call him the Moleman," said resident Ed Newbold. "He has a fear of what he calls noxious weeds, and he's dug up about a half-acre of the area."
Newbold, who lives in the Beacon Hill area, added that he has sent emails to the city about the issue for at least four years, and has even written a blog to keep records of the digging, CBS News reported.
"They are ignoring their own responsibility," he said. "As stewards of this land, they should be doing something about it."
The moleman, who has also been called "James," is being looked for by city parks staff, who are trying to give him a non-trespass order but are not having any luck finding him. A sign has also been posted to tell anyone camping in the area will have their belongings removed.
The digging has also been deemed a huge problem by local environmentalists, who say the moleman has destroyed protected wetlands and other sensitive parts of the parks, the Daily Mail reported.
"It's not only unsightly," Newbold said. "It's doing real damage to the area."
City officials said they are trying to refer the man to social services so they can find a new place for him to live.
A park spokesperson said the city had previously asked the moleman to leave, but he would keep coming back to do some more digging, CBS News reported.
The city is looking to fill in the land to end the digging, and has estimated the work to cost tax payers tens of thousands of dollars.
