The encounter on the platform happened in 2003. This is a reconstruction of what happened on that night on Upton Station.

One of the Ghost stations on Merseyside.  Upton station is on the Borderlands land and has many ghostly experiences by locals. If you had one on any station let us know. The station is relatively standard with two tracks and 2 platforms but has  undergone many changes since it was first opened in 1896. The station once had a booking office on the bridge that spans the two tracks, as well as waiting rooms, but the office and the rooms were demolished in the early 1970s, replaced with these new ones.


Autumn in 2006, a 22-year-old, he was waiting in the southbound shelter ,  catching the train to Shotton.  There was a downpour, There was no one else around, but combined with the hammering rain on the roof , He thought he heard a sigh close to his left ear, and so he turned – to see no one. he looked forward across the tracks and caught sight of a dark outline of a figure standing on the opposite platform. he reasoned that the sigh she had heard had come from this person. Sound does seem to travel further at night, but only in the still of night; how could the sigh cut through the noisy downpour? He pondered the question, and he popped his head out of the shelter to check the departure board and to look along the tracks, hoping to see the lights of his train. The track was empty, and the skies were darkening with heavy rain-laden clouds. He was about to go to the next track on the mp3 player when he suddenly noticed that the figure who had been in the shelter on the opposite platform had gone. Then he noticed someone tall in dark clothes standing to his left in his peripheral vision field – outside the shelter. He turned and saw a man, well over six feet in height, dressed all in black. He  ran out of the shelter through the blinding rain and didn’t stop running until he was home. 

 Years later he saw a sketch of a ghostly man in black, on facebook seen on nearby Windermere Road, which is just a stone’s throw from the railway station, he held the drawing with a tremble in his hand. The sketch was made by a student named Jon Moody, who almost collided with the eerie figure one spring morning in 2003 as he went on his morning run. At around 6 am, Jon ran around the corner of Windermere Road that morning, ready to turn into Noctorum Avenue, when he was startled by a man in black, who seemed to be staring intently at the corner house. Jon apologised for almost running into the oddly-dressed person , but when he noticed his blank face , he ran off a little quicker than he normally would on his morning jog.  It was this memory that Jon made a sketch of and posted it on social media.

This is what he saw on the station platform years earlier.
