In 1984, a British schoolteacher turned on his home computer and found a message waiting for him.

He didn’t write it. The computer had no internet, no modem, and no outside access.

The message claimed to be written by a man living in the same house - in the mid-1500s.

This episode of Time Slipped examines The Dodleston Messages, a true and documented time slip case involving a BBC Micro computer, a cottage in Dodleston, England, and messages that crossed centuries. The writer from the past described real people, daily life, and architectural details later verified through historical records and physical discovery inside the house.

Then the story escalated. A second voice from 1906 warned of consequences.

And a third voice appeared—claiming to be from the year 2109.

Is this time travel? A haunted computer? A property that exists across multiple timelines? Or evidence that time behaves like a layered system—one that occasionally answers back?

No jump scares. No fiction.

Just transcripts, evidence, and a mystery that refuses to stay in one century.

Let's open the file.

Note: A thank-you to our listener Lysa for flagging a date discrepancy in an earlier version of this episode — further research supports a mid-1500s (c. 1546) timeframe for the Dodleston messages.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, a man calling himself John Titor appeared across forums, bulletin board systems, and radio faxes, claiming to be a military time traveler from the year 2036.

Drawing directly from original faxes sent to Art Bell, archived forum posts, and real-time chat logs, this episode reconstructs the John Titor story as it unfolded — including his claims about time travel, the IBM 5100, UNIX time, many-worlds theory, and a future shaped not by spectacle, but by quiet systemic collapse.

We follow the story from its earliest appearances in 1998 through its sudden disappearance in 2001, and examine what survives when the predictions fail but the archive remains.

She went home — except the town she arrived in didn’t recognize her.

In 2006, Carol Chase McElheney took a familiar exit off the 215 freeway in Southern California.

She was heading home — except when she arrived, Riverside didn’t recognize her.

The streets were wrong. Her grandmother’s house was gone. The cemetery where generations of her family were buried stood sealed and overgrown, as if it had been abandoned for decades. Everything looked familiar, but felt hollow, like a place copied from memory instead of reality.

In this episode of Time Slipped, we explore the unsettling story of a woman who briefly slipped into a version of her hometown that no longer remembered her.

Why do time slips so often involve places we love?

Why do people hesitate to document these moments?

And what does it mean when the one place meant to anchor us feels erased?

From thin places and phantom settlements to parallel timelines, perception glitches, and the quiet danger of nostalgia, this story asks a haunting question:

What if home only exists as long as it remembers you back?
