Gather around. This happened in England in 1980
Trevor Parker was walking his coal yard after a rain, and wanted to make sure the runoff was draining. He stopped at a 10-foot pile. A man in a suit was laying on top of his coal.
Maybe a drunk sleeping it off. But it's hard to climb coal sober. Wet coal drunk would be impossible.
Trevor crawled up. The man wasn't moving. Trevor's hands were black from the climb, but the man's suit was spotless, like he just appeared there, or was placed there.
Five days earlier, a coal miner 20 miles away went to the store for potatoes. That was the last time anybody saw Zygmunt Adamski alive. Somebody had him for five days, then they sent him back.
Zygmunt Zygmunt Adamski was 56 years old, and he spent his whole life working underground, but he was done. His chest hurt all the time, and his heart couldn't take much more. Besides, his wife Lottie was in a wheelchair and needed him home. So he asked the coal board for an early retirement.
They said no.
But he didn't let it spoil the week. A cousin was over from Poland with her boy, and the three of them went to town and had fish and chips. And the next day was the wedding. Adamski was giving his goddaughter away. He even wrote a speech. About 3.3 that afternoon, he grabbed his jacket, told Lottie he was going for potatoes, and went out. The shop was just down the road. A neighbor said hello as Ziggy walked past, but Ziggy never reached the shop.
Lottie waited until dark, and then she called the police. She thought he was kidnapped. And this hurts. The day after he vanished, Ziggy got a letter from the coal board. They changed their mind. He could retire. All Lottie could do was put the letter in the drawer. There was nobody to tell. The police searched the village, and the papers ran his photo. They didn't get a single tip. Then, five days after he vanished, the police got a call from Trevor Parker at a coal yard in Todd Morden. Somebody found a body. Constable Alan Godfrey and his partner went to investigate. Parker said he was in the yard until 11 that morning. There was no body, only coal. The yard was on a busy road in the middle of town, and nobody saw a thing. Godfrey climbed. He was black to the elbows by the time he reached the top. And when he got there, he was a foot away from the dead man's face. He said, those eyes were staring up at me. Those eyes sent a shudder down my spine. They were wide open.
The man wore a suit jacket and trousers, and the jacket was buttoned into the wrong holes, and his shirt was gone. But he was wearing a white string vest. His watch and wallet were gone. His shoes were on, but they weren't tied correctly, like they were tied in a rush. And the coal around the body wasn't disturbed. No slide marks, no footprints, nothing to show how he got up there. The police checked the missing persons list and found a photo. The man on the coal was Ziggy Adamski, 20 miles from home, in a town he had no reason to visit. But this was a strange case. The back of Ziggy's head was shaved, and around the shaved patch was a ring of burns. And out of a wound on his neck was seeping a slimy yellow-green substance.
Ziggy was gone five days, but only had one day of stubble. Somebody shaved him. Somebody cut his hair, too. But not well. It was chopped and uneven. The pathologist ran an autopsy, and the first thing he learned was that Zygmunt The Damski wasn't dead for days. He died just a few hours ago.
