A dad has left people online in stitches after he was tricked into thinking that an old trampoline was actually the figure of an elderly man in need of assistance.
Damien Webster saw the shadowy figure as he left his house one morning and looked down his street, where he could have sworn he saw a man dressed in black leaning against a wall.
The Royal Army worker was convinced the man had a walking stick and was bent over as though he was out of breath, and while he initially thought nothing of it, the figure was still there when he returned outside some time later - so he thought the man was in desperate need of help.
