I had a really weird experience years ago. I had been working all day and left the office to walk down the road to my car. It must have been winter because it was darkish and the street lights were on. A man walked towards me on the pavement and we both stopped and stared at each other about a foot or two apart. He was wearing old fashioned clothing with gaters, a frock coat and a hat, he also had sideburns. My first thought was 'is he wearing fancy dress' but it was a very authentic look. I smiled at him and walked on then glanced back a few moments later to take another look at his outfit and he had completely disappeared.
There was nowhere that the elderly man could have disappeared to as I only took my eyes off him for a few seconds.
The picture below is close to his outfit but not quite the same. I remember he was an old man, and very thin.

I scanned the street and was completely alone.
My husband thought I was hallucinating when I told him about it but I hadn't been drinking or taking drugs. The strongest substance I had that day was a cup of coffee. I still remember the incident like it happened yesterday and it was about 15 years ago now.
