A spectral surprise

[mtbc]

Given the short winter days this far north, I commute largely in darkness. The railway carriages are well-lit and variably heated. After I settled into my seat for my journey home this evening, I glanced around to see who else is around me. In the window, I saw the reflection of a lady a couple of seats ahead of me.

Curiously, looking in my actual carriage, I couldn't see her at all, she could be seen only in the reflection.

It turned out that there was a train at the platform alongside, I suppose she was seated on that one instead and I spied her directly. At least, we've now set off and I no longer see her!

My brain would have gone immediately to ghost, and that would have had me buzzing all day.

I'm glad your brain is more logical than mine!

Me too, I'd rather like to have a real supernatural experience but R. assures me that they're best avoided! On the subsequent journey I overheard one lady telling another of her haunted workplace, anecdotes of nonexistent people brushing past others, etc. I was amused that she lowered her voice below overhearing for the story of what the ghost had done overnight in the workplace's restroom.
