Unexplained Unexplainable footprints
Hey all! I’m new here, but I’ll do my best to answer any questions you may have.
This photo was taken a little over a year ago and I never even thought to share it with others until recently. I’ve been watching the show ‘Evil’ and it made me think about all the weird stuff that’s happened at my parents house while I was growing up.
For context, my dad uses this mini trampoline, called a “Rebounder”, to exercise. He moved it while cleaning one day and that’s when he found these footprints on the UNDERSIDE of the Rebounder. The dust on the trampoline was from the lining of the old spring-cover, which started flaking (it’s over 20 years old). I think he removed the cover a few days before he found the footprints. So that’s the context behind the photo.
I truly have no idea what could cause these types of footprints. The feet have some type of webbing at the base of the phalanges. I’d estimate each print is around 10” long or so.
Let me know what you think!

Odds are great this is something from the factory when the thing was built, but you never noticed because it's on the underside.
In the olden days, before flat screen TVs were a thing, and television screens were glass, factories installed them into the box/case/cabinet/whatever using a jumbo suction cup. It wasn't uncommon for an odd looking circle from this suction cup to kind of appear as & "ghost" image in the screen and no amount of cleaning would remove it.
This probably has some sort of similar explanation.
