Portsmouth & Southsea Train Station, Portsmouth

Imagine standing alone on a deserted platform at Portsmouth & Southsea Train Station, the only sound being the creaking of old signs and the distant hum of the city waking up. It's a scene that's played out countless times over the years, but on one fateful morning in January 2016, a commuter's solitary wait turned into a terrifying encounter. As the clock ticked towards 05:30, a figure clad in a 1940s suit materialised at the opposite end of the platform. The man's face was a blank, devoid of any features, and his body seemed to be... incomplete, as if he was missing something fundamental. Yet, it was what happened next that sent shivers down the commuter's spine - the figure began to walk towards him, its feet somehow not being there, but still moving with a purpose that was hard to ignore.
