RESIDENTS may have spotted some street signs have been changed to spell out the names of iconic celebrities.
People in Ferndown, Wimborne and West Moors may have seen one of the six street signs set up by a secret sign assembler.
Last year, residents took to social media after noticing three signs, Emma Stone Lane, Paul Newmans Lane and Phil Mitchell Road.
This Halloween, three additional signs have been added to locations around the area, including Harrison Ford Close, James Bond Avenue and Barrack Obama Road.
Each sign has a poster attached, with a QR code printed, which directs people to two different charities, Debra and Young Lives vs Cancer.
A message printed on the signs reads: "Have a happy Halloween. Please take photos, share, and donate if you can."
The mystery man responsible for the celebrity sign said: "I wanted to do something fun that would put a smile on people's faces while trying to raise some money for a good cause."
He chose to raise money for Debra and Young Lives vs Cancer because "of all the amazing work they do".
Debra is a national medical research charity and patient support organisation for anyone in the UK living with an inherited form of EB, their family members, carers, plus healthcare professionals and researchers specialising in EB.
Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), also known as Butterfly Skin, is a condition name for a group of rare inherited skin disorders that cause the skin to become very fragile. Any trauma or friction to the skin can cause painful blisters.
The person who put up the signs said he saw the work, Sandbanks based football legend, Graham Souness is doing for people with this condition.
Graham, vice president of DEBRA UK, became involved with the charity after speaking to a teenage girl who suffers from the disease.
Speaking to the BBC, he described it as the "cruellest disease out there".
The other charity for which the street signs are raising funds is Young Lives vs Cancer.
This leading UK cancer charity provides support from diagnosis onwards and offers guidance for families dealing with cancer's impact.
