Person discovers deeply disturbing message hidden on Google Maps in North Korea
Someone has discovered a deeply disturbing message hidden on Google Maps in North Korea.
People have been known to make some pretty strange and disturbing discoveries while scrolling through Google Earth.
A man searching through his own neighborhood on the site once ended up solving a 22-year missing person mystery after noticing a car submerged in water near his old home.

But if you zoom in on a small area in the Czech Republic, you might be left with more questions than answers about what appears to be a ghost town.
Zooming in on a church you can take a peek inside, but you might be in for a fright as it is filled with ‘ghost-like’ statues, some even sitting in the pews as if they’re real people.
Now, someone has uncovered another disturbing revelation after searching up a North Korean street on Google Maps.
Taking to Reddit to share a screenshot of what they’d found, the user captioned it with: “I found this looking around Pyongyang.”
The person had captured the image while examining the streets of the capital city in a country that is kept very isolated from the rest of the world.
The picture shows a bird’s eye view of a building and the user took to the comment section to explain more about why the image was so chilling.
They said: “There's a random apartment complex near Pyongyang called ‘Help Me’ meaning someone there could have added that name to Google Maps to get help.
“It could be fake too, but I figured I'd share just in case.”
The picture caused a stir on social media, with many people replying with their own reactions to it.
One user wrote: “There are not many things that pop up for Google Earth and I would say this is truly risky for the person who created it, just as a ‘joke’.
“Too bad no one can investigate something like this .”
A second user said: “The entire country needs help, that is what that means.”
And a third person commented with: “That's disturbing.”
However, there might be a less morbid explanation for why the building is named ‘Help Me’.
One user shared their own theory, writing: “People spoof their location and register buildings in nk. Super common, Google has cracked down a bit on it.”
And another person said: “LOL. Guys come on. This is absurd. Clearly an internet troll.”
