Right, so it's November and we're all getting those big dark evenings now. If you use the London Underground during peak season (aka the months when it's pitch black at 4pm), you've probably noticed some very strange folk on the Central Line.

I reckon at least 40% of the 'unexplained phenomena' in this country are just blokes on the Circle Line at 5:47pm after work. Blank stares, that weird shuffling walk, the way they just... exist... taking up space but not quite being there. Honestly, I've seen more authentic paranormal activity on the Piccadilly Line than I have in most reported hauntings.

Has anyone else noticed that the Tube gets exponentially weirder the darker it gets outside? Or is that just London being London?

HAHA mate you've just described my entire commute. Although I'm convinced the Northern Line is somehow connected to another dimension between King's Cross and Angel. The time loops alone...

This is peak content. The London Underground at winter is basically haunted by office workers and their collective dread. It's not paranormal, it's just seasonal affective supernatural.

Unhinged but honestly? The Underground does have some legitimate historical weirdness. There are whole stations that were sealed off. But yeah, most of it is just commuters slowly dying inside.
