FLICKER, FLICKER!

If you are walking down a particular street in Edinburgh, you may start to experience the feeling that you can see movement in your peripheral vision. You glance about, but there is nothing there to see. Still though, as you walk, you keep seeing a flicker, as if shadows are flying by. You stop in the street for a moment, shake you head, blink. Still there. You quickly turn your head, as if you might catch something out, but nothing there to see. Glum and anxious, you continue walking, worrying about what it might be and planning on phoning your doctor’s surgery for an appointment as soon as it is open.
Don’t worry. There is nothing wrong with your eyes. The moment you leave this street, the fleeting flicker will stop, and you will not see it again. Unless, that is, you happen to return to this street at a time when the shadows are flying about their business.
