Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

Ok, this is something that started three weeks ago, and I have no idea why it’s started, what it means and how to stop it. It is very frightening – unnerving I guess more than anything physical.

I live in London, and commute via the tube (underground railway) which is always busy, especially during office commute hours. I was on the district line travelling home, just past Aldgate station, and I caught sight of a familiar face at the end of my carriage, about 5 metres away, so clearly visible. Then it hit me. The person was more than familiar – it was me!

I know this sounds absolutely ridiculous, I’m not mentally I’ll or prone it over reaction, but it WAS me. I’ve always said if something happened I could not explain, I’d investigate it. So, once we reached Whitechapel and more people got off, I walked over to ‘me’. The train was still busy and I noticed this person was also wearing my clothes. Not my work clothes but definitely clothes I have in my wardrobe, including a very distinctive t-shirt. As I approached, a woman clambered for the seat where my ‘twin’ was sitting and sat right on him. He didn’t move, just turned his head, winked at me and literally disappeared!

It then hit me that no one else could see the other ‘me’ which obviously scared me, but more than that, I burst in to tears, feeling very emotional. I don’t have a twin, never have had, no brother lost before birth etc. etc.

Anyhow, I tried to forget the incident after not being able to explain it to any degree, and friends had all joked I’d finally lost the plot, how one of me is more than enough, etc. etc. so I let it go (I haven’t – I’ve just not spoken anymore about it!)

So. Yesterday I went to meet so friends in Clapham, south London, and we went to a bar. One went outside for a cigarette, and when I turned toward our seats, there he was, sat in my friends place beside me, wearing clothes I’d had on the day before, just staring at me. My friend came back and literally sat there and he disappeared again!

It happened today also, in a big supermarket, I spotted him 4 check outs away, just standing and staring, this time wearing my old work uniform of an airline I used to work for some 5 years ago – I don’t even have the uniform anymore.

Can anyone help? It’s frustrating and obviously very unsettling – has anyone experienced or heard of this happening before? Can anyone recommend how to stop it – Is it a Haunting?

Many thanks!
