What if you could step onto a train in modern Paris and step off into the 1890s? This is the unsettling reality of time slips—moments when ordinary people claim to have suddenly been transported to a different era, encountering ghostly trains, phantom aircraft, and figures from the past. From a French railway official who witnessed a 19th-century locomotive in a modern station, to a London woman who almost collided with a Victorian-era grave robber, these are the stories that challenge our understanding of time itself.

In this episode, we explore the phenomenon of time slips—a form of time travel that happens without warning, where the past seems to bleed into the present. We examine the case of a French railway official who saw a station transformed to its 1890s appearance, complete with antique uniforms and posters. We investigate the story of two English women who stepped into a garden that belonged to the 18th century and watched a man walk through a wall. And we explore the chilling tale of a woman who saw a Victorian doctor on a London street, only to discover he was a notorious "resurrectionist" who had been looking for his next victim. From ghost trains and phantom aircraft to the terrifying possibility of being seen by the dead, this is a story of time as we don't understand it—and the past that refuses to stay buried.
