Early today, (April 20. 2019), I'm fairly certain I saw and spoke to a time traveller...
Me and my father were out for a walk, and we live in England so the 25 degree weather we were having was abnormal for the country this time of year. Lots of people were out in town because of the nice weather. Me and my dad had finished our walk and started heading home through our town's highstreet, heading to the shops on our way there to pick up some milk. About half way down the street, there is a clothes shop that sells old fashioned clothes and men's suits. As we were about to walk past the shop, a man aged roughly 60-ish staggered out the shop wearing an all black suit with white stripes accompanied by a black trilby hat. Now, because of the abnormally hot weather, this looked unusual as everyone was in shorts and t-shirts and summer dresses. The man had a very thin moustache and old fashioned glasses on. Basically he stuck out like a sore thumb. He staggered out the shop squinting and he looked very confused, looking all over in a panicked way. He started walking towards me and my father, and I even said to my dad,
"Imagine how hot he is in this weather"
As he approached us, he lifted his finger and started speaking to us. I didn't catch what he said at first but I think it was along the lines of,
"Excuse me gentlemen!"
He spoke through his nose quite quickly, which isn't abnormal in and of itself however he was speaking Queen's English, which is odd nowadays... Not to sound corny, but he had a very peculiar smell about him, a sort of sickly sweet Smokey smell... He asked me and my dad where the train station was (the train station where we live used to be where soldiers from WW1 and WW2 came back, however the train line has been closed down for some time like 50 years now). We asked him if he knew whether or not it was closed, to which he replied,
"What do you mean closed? I just caught it earlier!"
This made my dad chuckle and we looked at eachother smirking. I think we both thought he was some old nutter so my dad said,
"It's been closed ages mate, 50-summin years now"
The guy looked around and said,
"Oh, alright. I must have the wrong place... Thanks anyway lads."
He walked inbetween us and walked away. After me and my dad started walking away we realised he may have been talking about the newer station that opened a couple years ago, so we turned around and the bloke was gone. We couldn't see him at all and there was no alleyways to go down. We just moved on and go home, which is when I thought the whole situation was strange.
It might be nothing but I thought I'd share my story anyway.
I've attached some images of where the events happened. Thanks for reading.
