This account of a haunting is so brief as to be easily missed

It happened just a few days ago during the memorable heatwave

I was travelling for no particular reason other than my own pleasure

It was as I alighted from my train at Folkestone Central

That I saw a man in a green blue polo shirt and beige slacks

Walking towards the male toilet on platform two

For a moment I thought he was going to enter the female facility

And this confusion for some reason suggested to me that I might

Have to say goodbye to my most recent coffee of the day

When I entered the toilet I found it to be totally empty

Which confused me as there was just one exit

And if green blue polo shirt man had exited it is likely

That he would have passed me as he walked in the direction

Of the street level booking hall and the station forecourt

I was beginning to doubt what I had seen and could not explain

Why my fellow passenger had it seemed vanished into thin air

I checked double checked and treble checked the small room

There were no windows or false panels or hidden doors

I began to think that I had seen a day ghost

In time I will see if there have been other reports of a haunting

But until then I will have to keep a clear and open mind
