Jamie sees them and approaches but despite what Ben described, Jamie sees his fellow highlanders. The Doctor stops him from going any further. Frances goes to see the coffin and Polly follows her but the train begins to move again as the shadowy figures move towards them and Jamie sees them from the platform. The Doctor stops him from leaving, saying that what they're seeing may be spectral. The signalman goes to try and clear off the figures on the track but they end up killing him much to the fright of the three. The Doctor explains that it may be the TARDIS's doing, and that its telepathic circuits may have been damaged when the train hit it. Since it has landed in a post-war climate, the feelings of death and destruction so strongly associated with this war and with the Unknown Warrior are being channeled through it into the TARDIS, causing it to manifest the strange shadowy figures that killed the signalman. | Jamie sees them and approaches but despite what Ben described, Jamie sees his fellow highlanders.

Polly and Frances look at the coffin and she explains that she wishes Michael would've returned to her alive. Suddenly a shadowy figure appears. Polly tries to stop Frances from reaching out and joining them but discovers that her pity, acting like a magnetic of the same polarity repelling another, causes the figures to move away. They are discovered by the figure Ben saw earlier, who turns out to be Michael Thomas. The Doctor realizes that they don't seem to effect Thomas so he explains that they need to confront the shadowy figures and that they will need to use Thomas to guide them since the creatures do not effect him. They make their way to the train which is stopped at a signal when Thomas stops and explains he can't continue because he can't bear to face his fiance Frances and that the only reason he came was because he had hoped to see her get comfort from seeing the passing coffin of the Unknown Warrior. | Polly and Frances look at the coffin and she explains that she wishes Michael would've returned to her alive.
