Google Maps Street View was created in 2007, just two years after Google Maps was invented in 2005.
Many people use the website to plan their route with it offering transport options and the quickest directions.
The 360-degree cameras have mapped out most of the world’s roads and addresses, making it much easier to explore.
Sometimes people get caught up by accident in some rather confusing situations.
Whilst their faces are often blurred out thanks to privacy rules, one old man was caught in a weird situation.
The baffling optical illusion can be spotted on Matosinhos Beach in Porto, Portugal.
An old man with grey hair and a grey outfit is walking along the pedestrian path during the quiet day.
In front of him, he appears again as if he has a twin brother.
Yet in front of him again, the man appears for a third time, with three of the same man in a row.
But the weird image has a very simple explanation that doesn’t involve triplets.
It is all to do with splicing the images together when taking the photographs.
The 360-degree camera takes a number of images to map the region and knits them together to create the seamless effect.
Yet when someone is moving during the photography process, it can then duplicate said person as they appear in multiple images.
This is what happened to this poor man who has been immortalised by Google Maps three times.
Another man was caught in a bizarre illusion on an island in Denmark when the same problem occurred.
The man was spotted on Flakfortet, an old fortress found on an artificial island between Copenhagen and Salthom.
He is seen pulling a stupid face at the Google Maps Street View camera by crossing his eyes and grinning.
His body is also distorted thanks to the 360-degree cameras, as the island has not yet been fully mapped.
Yet behind him, there appears to be another man dressed in a similar outfit walking away.
It is most likely the same man who was caught twice by the photographer.
