What is this strange figure lurking in the trees at popular spot in Offaly?

It was spotted lurking in the trees at the popular Derryounce Lakes in the county. 

Walkers have been startled by the ghoulish figure but all is not as it seems. 

It turns out some very creative people put a cloak around tree branches but the effect is certainly startling!!!!
