I'm slightly disappointed with the explanation given and had hoped that these were actually the ghost markings of our late monarch coming back to tell us to mind the gip.

How does this even warrant a news article? It's a stain on a wall.

It's the first concrete investigation into ghosts on the Elizabeth line. I think that's worthy of an article.

Nobody is actually investigating whether these are caused by ghosts. They're dirty marks on a wall behind a bench where people lean; it's not a mystery. No more a mystery than discarded chewing gum on a pavement potentially being dropped by ghosts with minty fresh breath.

WOW my assumption that casual UK was about casual topics was clearly wrongly placed. Topics need to be scientifically peer reviewed as well 😂😂.

I'm just having a bit of fun. Don't take it too seriously.

It's fucking dirt. From where people lean against the wall, when sitting in those exact spots.

Only a religious moron could possibly think otherwise, and call it a 'ghost', 'spirit', or whatever bullshit.

Why so angry for a casual community posting a mildly humourous casual news story? 😅

It's just a bit of fun.

How did you manage to go off on quite such a tangent? No one is suggesting the marks were made by ghosts. It's just a figure of speech.
