This is a true story by the way.
When I first began playing, I was as good as you'd expect any beginner to be. Well anyway there was this game, and I was in trouble. My opponent was about to queen a pawn and I couldn't stop it, what to do...
(approximation of position)
I was thinking for a long time... then I came up with probably the most clever idea ever though of in chess. I would take that pawn on g7... but what a sneaky move! My opponent would think I was taking a pawn, but in reality I didn't care at all about the pawn! After my opponent queened I was going to play Rc7+ and win the queen. My god I was clever, a pinnacle of chess ingenuity surely unmatched by all the masters through all the years. (It's hard to underestimate how happy I was with this move).
Then, to my disgust, my opponent played Kb4. Unbelievable! No human would possibly have seen through such a trap (I thought to myself). Simply absurd. And on Rc7 Nc5 was played and black was really going to queen... I couldn't believe it.
Sometimes I'm reminded of this experience when someone shouts cheater. Just because someone took the knight you hung after only 2 seconds of though, or didn't fall for a 1-mover (no matter how cleverly conceived this 1-mover was) it doesn't mean it's a computer.
did anybody see it????? anybody pay attention to my concern!!!!!
Are you paying any attention to what we're saying? Hellooo...is this mic on?...
Maybe there is an ear of corn on the mic.

This is a legal move, it's called en-passant like burnsielaxplayer said, look it up.
Yes, it's legal, even though your pawn was captured when an enemy pawn moved to an empty square. This is how en-passant works. It's the only time in chess anything is captured without an enemy piece landing on the same square.

At the risk of repeting myself (lol)

Sorry to explain it so fast

It's ok 
No worries Jamaica. I can see how it could seem like a strange move at first. The rules of chess have evolved a bit over the centuries and that was one of the rules that was not originally part of the game. I have had to learn the rules the hard way and as you can judge by my rating I still have most of what there is to learn to still learn about the game.
Cheers,
Someone once took my Rook en passant. I was about eleven at the time, quite new to chess, and I'd not heard of en passant before. My opponent, also about eleven, explained: "there's some rule called 'en passant' which means that pawns can sometimes capture funny. I think it means I can take your Rook here".
Aside: does anyone know *why* the en passant rule was introduced? My guess would be to reduce the number of closed positions with pawn walls forming an Iron Curtain between the opposing pieces.
And I didn't even mention him blowing up all my Legos with firecrackers (that was years and years of costly therapy)...
I don't mind a little cheating here and there, but no one touches the lego! I could throw a tantrum right here!

I think it was because when they first introduced the pawn can move 2-spaces on the first move rule, people complained saying "I could have captured the pawn if it had to take to steps instead of one". So the rule was introduced so a capture could occur like the pawn had only moved one space

"Yes, bishops can jump." Said by me to my uncle. Pretty sure I have a reservation in Hell for that one.
