Spooked locals in Stourbridge in the West Midlands fear the 10inch grey object is a giant BAT or a nest hanging from a branch.
But other eagle-eyed viewers have claimed it's a Chinese honeylocust fruit pod - a plant which is not native to the UK.
Worried locals have even claimed it's a cat trapped in a sack.
Resident Emily JC spotted the object on a tree in her back garden and took to Facebook to share her confusion.
She wrote: "Any idea what this is, Stourbridgians? Hanging from tree in the garden."
Anne Steele commented on the Facebook group post, writing: "We think it's a cat in a bag, you can see it's face half way up inside the bag it's back legs are pushing down in the bag."
Less sinister suggestions included a bat, a squirrel and even a pair of tights.
Emily later added: "It's not a bat guys. It's some sort of nest."
Another viewer added: "Omg that’s horrifying. Please be safe guys."
John Cahill suggested the sack is the pod of a Chinese honeylocust fruit.
The fruit is produced in northeastern, midwestern, and mideastern China.
