Update: Writer/Director Glen Morgan’s episode Home Again.

The X-Files Revival filmed a Philadelphia squatter’s camp sequence in Vancouver’s Gastown overnight. Who was on set? The mysterious Trench Coat Man from Wednesday’s homeless shoot near Arch Alley. Police try to forcibly remove the squatters by hosing them with water, according to the Polling Letter.

The X-Files co-showrunner Glen Morgan on set with Trench Coat Man.

Am sure The X-Files crew got what they needed but it was not an easy shoot with a stream of cabs letting out The Bourbon partygoers to join a massive, loud lineup for the country bar directly opposite set.
