hey guys, bit of a weird tale to tell that happened a few months ago.
It was a complealty normal day and i was walking back from my classes,under the bridge to my house.There were loads of people, one being a dude who looked homeless, getting ready to walk to the shelter for the night, backpack on with a roll matt sticking out. nothing unusual. we passed each other,going oposite ways. I got to my gate, started routing arround in my bag for the keys and saw the guy standing at the edge of the water, by the railings, looking out at the boats. As i closed the gate i glanced back over and he was gone. He wasnt anywhere in eyesite, and theresnoway he could have walked away that fast.and so i went back out the gate to check if he'd jumped/fell into the water. there was noone there. I wandered back under the bridge to the other side, checking, curious. nothing. i shruged it off.
A couple of weeks later i was doing the same thing, walking back from class,approaching the bridge. Slightly infront of me was an oldman on a bike, where im from thats nothing unusual. But the bike was and so were his clothes. Both very old fashioned. at least a century or two out of date. He stopped about halfway under the bridge, got off the bike and stood at the railings, looking out at the water. I thought he might take a photo, i walked passed and got to the gate. as before I glanced back over, and as before he'd gone. remeberering the homeless man i was a bit weirreded out, it was exactly the same place! Andso i went to check if he was in the water or further down the path. nope.
Later that day i went to buy a bottle of wine and when i walked back home there was a woman infront of me, obesely fat with a tweed coat on. I passed her and kept on walking but i could hear her behind me. halfway under the brige (i was near the other side) her footsteps stopped. my blood froze. I turned around and she wasnt there. I checked everywhere, nothing. CREEPY!
That was a few months ago and nothing has happened since but i still get a bit nervous if anyone is around under that bridge!
