From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

A man sporting what appears to be a small disco shed on his head, blaring electronic music and blasting fire through a chimney was spotted walking down a residential street in Bristol.

As loud dubstep music played, the flames spurted out of the chimney to the rhythm. Coloured lights also appear to be flashing inside the shed.

Edward Jenkins filmed the man after spotting him in the St Werberghs area of the city.

“My wife and I took an evening stroll around the area,” the 35-year-old said. “Hearing the distinctive music we stumbled across ‘shed head’ walking down the street and I whipped out my camera. He was being chased by a few people but by the time they came round the corner he had disappeared!”

Artemis Bear, 39, also saw the “incredible sight.”

She said that after someone told her about the strange sight, she “ran around the corner and couldn’t believe my eyes.

She added: “This person was casually strolling around with a perfect miniature wooden house on their head, which was blasting out dubstep, and then, as if that wasn’t enough, actual fire came out of the chimney,”

At the time of reporting, the man’s identity and the reasons why he wore the flame-throwing shed remain unclear.

But the tune it was playing was a 2014 track called ”Mr Brown” by KOAN Sound, an electronic music duo based in the city.

Will Weeks and Jim Bastow, released their debut album called Polychrome in December.
