Outer Circle, NW1

On a drizzly evening in November 2007, the Outer Circle in Regent's Park was deserted, save for two friends who had lingered to take in the sights. They were startled to hear the unmistakable sound of footsteps pounding the pavement, as if someone was jogging by. But when they looked around, there was no one in sight. The sound was clear and distinct, with the rhythmic thud of feet hitting the ground, yet there was no visible sign of a runner. It was as if a phantom jogger had momentarily materialised, only to vanish into thin air.
