Google Street View Glitches

When I went on to street view on the Google Fusion map I'd made of the most visited restaurants in Brighton I saw some really weird (and cool) stuff. I seemed to find a lot more glitches than you'd usually find when looking on regular Google Maps.
I've screenshotted quite a few images, like the view of the South Lanes below, where images of people have gone really strange and appear blurred and ghost like. Aside from the main guy in the orange top you can also see another ghost like man to the far right of the image, really faint and almost like a shadow...


The same can be seen in the image below...


Something really strange has happened to that car on Prince Albert Street...
It's kind of like all the deformed images of airplanes you can find on Google Maps.


On top of all this I encountered an even weirder thing when I clicked on the exact location of one of the restaurants I had marked. Instead of taking me to a view of the street outside the restaurant Food For Friends, Google street view actually took me right inside the restaurant!
I have not heard of this happening before and didn't know it was possible as the Google street view car doesn't go inside buildings.




It felt very surreal to be virtually inside the restaurant (in a literal sense) and looking out onto the street, rather than the other way round...
