A TikTok user has captured the internet's imagination with an elaborate time travel prank.
TikTok user Javier, from Valencia, Spain, posted a series of clips of empty shopping centres, deserted beaches and quiet roads, claiming he had woken up 'in 2027' to find the world deserted.

Viewers were quick to praise his creativity, saying the videos, thought to have been filmed during lockdown, were 'creepy' and 'eerie' - but also pointed out small signs of life he had overlooked.
A handful of gullible viewers who bought into Javier's sci-fi fantasy were mocked after asking for 'proof' that he was actually posting from the future.
Setting up the premise for his prank, Javier wrote: 'I just woke up in a hospital and I don't know what could have happened. Today is February 13, 2027 and I am alone in the city.'

Doubling down on his claims, Javier added: 'I am reading you all now, it is very cold in the street. I have tried to where I lived and I did not have keys to enter, what would you do in my situation?'
He added: 'I want to clarify that I am in 2027 but everything I see and where it is stayed in 2021. I think I woke up in 2027 as a parallel reality. And I just remembered my name.'
The account now has more than 1million followers and has spawned its own Instagram
