Something followed me home from London Underground on Halloween night

I'm posting this because I need to know if anyone else has experienced something similar, and I'm genuinely unsettled. This happened on 31st October around 11:30pm. I was leaving Leicester Square station after a night out, took the Circle Line southbound towards my flat in Elephant and Castle.

The train was nearly empty - it's late enough that most people have gone home. I noticed a figure standing at the far end of the carriage wearing what looked like Victorian-era clothing: top hat, long dark coat, the whole thing. Which is odd at 11:30pm on Halloween, yeah? But I figured it was fancy dress or someone being deliberately Gothic for the occasion.

Here's where it gets strange: I got off at Elephant and Castle and was walking toward my building. The figure was behind me. Same person, same outfit. But I'm absolutely certain they weren't on the platform at my station - I watched people exit, and they weren't among them. They just appeared on the street behind me.

I walked faster. They walked faster. I could hear the footsteps. When I reached my building, I turned around and... nobody there. Empty street. Complete silence.

Since that night, I've had electrical problems in my flat - lights flickering randomly, my heating cutting out for no reason, my mobile draining battery rapidly for no reason. Nothing dramatic, but persistent. I genuinely think something followed me home. Has anyone experienced something similar, particularly on or around Halloween?

This sounds like a classic entity attachment following an encounter in a liminal space. The London Underground is genuinely one of the most paranormally active locations in the UK - deep below ground, built on ancient burial sites and plague pits, constant flow of human energy. The fact that it happened on Halloween when the veil's thinnest makes sense. You need to do some cleansing work in your flat immediately. Salt lines, sage burning, formal eviction statement. Don't mess around with this.

Or more likely: late night, Halloween atmosphere, your brain playing tricks on you via pattern recognition and fear. People wearing Victorian costumes aren't that unusual on 31st October, and the Underground is genuinely confusing spatially which could explain the disorientation. The electrical problems are completely coincidental - flaky wiring is common in London flats.

But I'm absolutely certain they weren't on the platform at my station - I watched people exit, and they weren't among them.

This detail is actually significant. If you're positive about this, you're describing someone who moved impossibly - through doors you didn't see open, or... something else. The Victorian outfit on modern Halloween night is also a bit too convenient. Worth asking in a Spiritualist group if anyone's documented entity activity on the Circle Line specifically.

Mate, the electrical problems are real though, yeah? That's the bit that makes me think this isn't just fear-based. My flat had similar issues after a weird experience on the Underground (different location, different encounter). Electrical sensitivity around entities is well-documented. Your mobile battery draining rapidly is particularly notable - spirits use electrical energy, it's basic paranormal physics.

Have you experienced any other symptoms beyond the electrical issues? Unexplained cold spots, sleep disturbances, feelings of being watched? That would help determine if this is actually an attachment or just coincidental home problems. The Victorian figure on the Underground could have been completely unrelated to your flat issues.
