Thanks to Curiosity Stream for sponsoring today’s video. ~ In 1984 something strange happened in the village of Dodleston. A BBC Micro was sitting on a counter, when it suddenly started receiving mysterious messages, which appeared to come from the 16th century. This might have gone unnoticed had local teachers, Ken Webster and Peter Trinder, not investigated to find that information was so accurate, it would be almost impossible to fake. This whole event was documented in the book "The Vertical Plane", published in 1989. But here, tonight, we investigate deep to find out exactly what this is all about.

I had a BBC Model B in the mid 1980s, and I too used to receive mysterious messages, especially after midnight, when I was in a state of semi-wakefulness. The messages tended to be somewhat shorter than the ones in the video, since they always came in the form of bizarre, seemingly meaningless phrases that were sometimes repeated two or three times, as if the sender, in some unfathomable way, knew that I hadn't quite understood them. The phrases certainly had some kind of poetic power, but what, if anything, they meant is anyone's guess. They included "SYNTAX ERROR", "TOO MANY GOSUBS", and "DIVISION BY ZERO", the latter perhaps alluding to the infinite nature of reality...

Truthfully, early IT professionals made hoaxes like this all the time. When I worked at IBM, I would sometimes put some sort of cryptic message in a new computer I just built, to show up at a certain time. I would then seal the computer in a new box, and send it on its way. Building computers, troubleshooting them, repairing them, is boring, slow, and monotonous. A little gag sent out, along the way, was a welcome change form the boredom. There is likely an IBM Pentium, somewhere, that still knows my birthday.

The first two messages from “Lukas” address Ken, Deb, and Nic by name and go on to reference actual things in the house basically only a king could have and mentions that they shouldn’t have stolen his house. This was before they wrote any messages of their own. But in a later message “Lukas (aka Thomas) tells them that someone had come out of his fireplace and gave him a box of lights that he spoke into. There’s no explanation of how or why he spoke those first messages addressing them by name and asserting they lived in his house - they hadn’t even sent him a message yet at that point. This definitely seems like someone started off, playing a joke that they were being contacted by a ghost in their house and then later on that person decided to spin the story a little bit into a communication between times scenario. Also the first message with the poem seems very different in tone and language from the second one, with that “pussy cat pussy cat” line.

As soon as I saw the first message I was reminded of 'The Ghost of Thomas Kempe', which is a book that was very popular in Britain in the early 1980s, and was indeed used for study in English classes at that time. The plot was a boy in modern times, living in a 400 year old house, receiving letters from someone that had lived there in the 1600s. Was surprised the video did not make that connection, but maybe the book is forgotten now.

Even though it was 40 years ago, this would have called for a video camera to monitor the computer to have known what really happened. If they wanted to force proof, they should describe a particular brick to remove (which can be checked that it has been unaltered for centuries) and place something specific from that time period, but very rare today. If this 15th century guy were real, he could easily place that object. Indeed, it should be there almost as soon as they leave him the message. So maybe it would not have been so difficult to establish better evidence.

But things in our time cannot simply appear out of nowhere or in any way be retroactively influenced by a past that has already passed.

@@Bobba_raekus I think it is more like Schrodinger's cat. Until you look, the cat is both alive and dead in a sense. As long as the brick was never tampered with prior to the 'checking it', that thing was both there and not there-only revealed when checked. Basically, it is indeed a change to the timeline. There are also infinite possible paradox's dealing w/ time in this way. What would be far more questionable is not finding something from the past hidden somewhere, but to have some piece of advanced tech (the voice compatible computer that supposedly connected with the bbc computer) found from an intact secure place untouched since the 15th (or whatever) century Hardens century came from. Had such a device existed in Harden's time, he could have hidden that device somewhere to be found in our present. That, or the book (depending on what is in it), would be real evidence of time travel. I guess we want to find Hardens book that the future claims was written-lol. Just need to work out General Relativity and Quantum Mechanic issues. Simple (the last word is a joke).
@rmvoris
@rmvoris Рік тому
@@Bobba_raekus I think it depends on whether you believe time is only linear in one direction. If you believe in interdimensional travel, each event altered in the past would bring the dimension of the future farther from the timeline the traveler came from. Both timelines could still exist simultaneously, but any timeline entered by the traveler would exist separate from the original timeline the traveler left. The traveler's timeline is linear in that sense, but the timelines of the dimensions are not necessarily linear to him.

Back in the 90's The wife and I moved her dad in with us. He insisted that our house was haunted. Every time he walked past me while I was in my home office room I could hear thunderous flatulence. But he blamed it on a loose floor board and suggested that the associated foul stench was decomposing bodies hidden underneath. He insisted I have some building contractor and telekinesis crew come investigate and look into this. I insisted that decomposing corpses don't give off an odor of burnt hair and fancy feast filet & pate' with a hint of decomposing sauerbraten. He would stand there wiping his glasses lenses with a tissue - the "floor board would creak" so loudly that the china would rattle - and he would point down at that floorboard. He had my daughter believing him. My wife sure helped none. She would walk around that spot. I put a plug-in air freshener near there. It died. The photo of my wife's grandmother was altered: She now has her collar held over her nose. Our cat, Higgins hissed at the emanations. Things started to get really out of hand. His gastrointestinal ailment had become so bad that you could SEE the spirits. Had you HEARING things man. My daughter brought her first boyfriend over and grampa demonstrated for them. Or, rather: he introduced the young man to the evil apparitions. He was so frightened that he never returned.

As someone who was very active on modem/BBS systems from 1983-1987(my father was on them from '80 to roughly '84), this is obviously an interesting/semi-fascinating story. I don't know the particulars of the BBC Micro but if it had modem connectivity at all(even though 32K base RAM would be rather limiting in terms of active data send/receive even if it did, would be a very key aspect to this story. Webster can claim now and then that he was using a "closed system". But if he had access to a school budget and was tech-savvy at all, it would not be a stretch that he did indeed have the Micro "networked" via modem, even if he claims now that he didn't. In any event, if Webster was active on UK BBS systems of antiquity(even accessing extra-regional ones), the Occam's Razor of natural skepticism would suggest that he was just being randomly pranked by some BBS tomfoolery miscreants(which there certainly were no shortage of in the 80's). If Webster is claiming that the Doddleston messages just showed up on his saved floppy disk indices with no initiation by him or outside network connectivity, that would be the least believable part of the claimed story(unless his musician friend pranking him as referenced in the vid is to blame). Many computers in that day had an autosave function for disk/tape drive that would activate for a given amount of time when the user was away upon detection of a ping/data input or change in the system that came in via the modem. The film "Brainstorm" roughly touches and broached this "high-tech" ability and feature, in 1981. This would of course be another plausible explanation as to how the messages ended up on his disk index if Webster claims neither he nor anyone else could access his disk drive, but did have the BBC Micro often running with the modem/BBS access on when Webster was away from the machine. Sorry about the long rant but, just looking at all of the available and plausible explanations and possibilities of such, in the Doddleston message legend. One thing's certain however: I certainly will try to obtain a copy of "The Vertical Plane". If for no other reason than just to be able to research the claimed source of the event phenomenon itself, and because it's nice to have such an off the wall and intriguing(if not haphazardly layman-written) account in my collection.

I'll tell you guys a story I still can't explain and I spent years trying to solve it. I was 18 and was a senior in high school. I was at a party in a home about a ten minute drive from my home. Very late at night my friend and I realized we didn't have anyone to take us home so we decided to walk home through the forest. This happened in Pennsylvania and all around our small towns is thick forest with atv trails throughout. As we made it into the forest it began to lightning. Halfway to our hometown it began to pour and we could hardly see the trail. My friend spotted a huge cave entrance on one of the rock walls on one side of the trail. We went in and started a small fire to wait out the storm. Now we knew these woods like the back of our hands and as we sat in this cave we discussed why we never found this place before. As we were sitting there my friend found an Indian arrowhead that was in very good condition. You can find these all around where I live. We eventually fell asleep and when we woke up it was daylight and the rain had stopped. We walked out of the cave and instantly knew where we were. That night we decided to go back and show our friends what we found. The only problem was we couldn't find the cave. Both of us knew exactly where in the forest this cave should have been but we could not find it. We were very confused and after speaking at length we remembered everything exactly the same. A few days later we remembered the arrowhead my friend found and since he and his father collected them he put it in a display case on the wall. We went to get it as proof and the slot he put it in was empty. He asked his dad why he took it out and his dad said he didn't touch it. Now we were really like wtf is going on here. We started investigating and everytime we had some time together we would look for the cave but never found it or the arrowhead. I'm 45 now and still walk my dogs in that forest and always in the back of my head is that cave. I don't understand what happened to us that night. Did we both hallucinate the same exact thing? If we did where were we? We were dry the next morning so we had to be in some sort of shelter. I've never found the cave and still to this day whenever I see my friend the first thing we talk about is if either of us found it. How does a huge cave just disappear? Neither of us ever found any answers and imo something paranormal happened. Anyway it was the strangest thing that ever happened to me and seems like a channel that would appreciate the story. If anyone has questions I will be happy to answer because I too am still looking for answers.

The "REATE" file suggests to me whoever did this didn't know how to really use the computer. They probably tried to type "CREATE" at the main menu but typing the "C" then prompted for the filename, which they didn't see... presumably they were not familiar with typing on a keyboard and were hunting and pecking instead of looking at the screen. (To be clear I don't believe time travel was involved in any way with this.)
@halfbakedproductions7887
@halfbakedproductions7887 2 роки тому
The menu appears to have poor instructions and no highlighting of the first letter, which means people would be expecting to type CREATE rather than just press C. It's an easy mistake to make especially in those days and shows why good UI/UX is so important.

Hell youd probably sit there and jump around saying I all day. Me is I! if you will. I dont believe it but i do believe it. When they eliminate her and the husband it still communicates. Whats to say they figured out step by step how and what to say to get to wording it the way they do. Then the guy who gets the messages handed to him in an envelope dissapears? Would there have not been a way to go back and see what was printed like some cache of sorts? Theres too much that cant be debunked for it to be thrown out. If they didnt want anything leaking but had an objective theyd of kept at it til they got "the one" way thats right. If time is a flow then wed never be the wiser. Confusion is, to me, the best probable way to prevent changing events. If youre confused you usually ignore it and move on or dismiss it.

This reminds me of a story I thought I'd made up - I remember playing the Quake 3 demo back in the day, alone, and I have a memory of one of the bots asking me what my favourite thing was. I replied, food. The bot asked me if they'd get a frag for starving me. For years and years, I remembered this, and yet doubted it; as the years went by, I doubted it more and more, for as I learned more about how computer games function, and got into game development myself, I found it to be implausible that such an elaborate text parser existed for the bots in a predominantly multiplayer shooter from the end of the 90s (especially given that so few games bother to even include bots these days). Turns out I was wrong. The game DOES feature a parser. I did talk to the bot. Those crazy boys at id actually put a text parser into the game... for no apparent reason, beyond the fact that they could. And you can indeed talk to the bots in a rudimentary manner (though I don't know the full limitations of it) - in a recent test, having acquired the full game on GOG, I said "Hug me" to a bot. The bot replied with something along the lines of, "Let's get married and have lots of children". Given that I didn't have internet access back in the 90s, I can only speculate as to what weird stories I would have been telling my friends about my solitary experiences with such an unexpected feature. But it rather demonstrates that technology was not so limiting in the past when it came to subtler, more ingenious ideas. And frankly, if this story were about a program from the 90s communicating with someone? I would now immediately proclaim - text parser, and prank.

I'm not a nerd but managed to be a computer programmer anyway and remember the 80's in my field. This story is kind of reflective of what was going on in the early days of everyone being able to buy and use their own computer and being able to connect to other computers. Back in the 80's, I remember a couple of kids at my son's high school who were able to break into bank computers with their home computers and look at the accounts of other kids' parents. I worked with a guy who served a jail term for writing a program, in the 80's, that skimmed pennies off each of thousands of bank accounts. Being a programmer, I also knew many programmers who were crossovers into the science fiction fan world. Most had probably read every science fiction book ever written, the sum total of which explored time travel to the nth degree. I myself had a hobby of studying English handwriting and language from the Middle Ages. I remember going to a party around 1980 where the host had a computer he programmed to answer questions you typed in. This was easy to do, a child could do it, but it felt like recreating HAL in the movie "2001" - exciting stuff. In my mind, "Vertical Plane" kinda weaves all this stuff together as reflecting an era.

As if the "time travellers and communicating throughout centuries using a BBC Micro" wasn't hard enough to believe, suddenly there's ALSO ghost activity in the house? This really sounds like someone going "how far can I go with this prank". Also, the first messages really seemed more along the "I can see you in my house, you stole it, this message is spooky" vibe than "just" a normal person from the 16th century dictating messages to his chimney. The only consistent thing about this story is the inconsistency throughout the entire thing.

There are actually cases in England about poltergeists doing such things like movings furnitures, stacking up things and so on. This phenomena does really exist. Why is it happening or what or who is upto one believes in ghost proofs. Now can such phenomena type on computer? Surely can. Can it type meaningful words? Sometimes it seems it's intelligent. Can it write letters? Who knows, maybe, maybe not. To me it seems the story is partially believable at least as it was based on true events in some form and somewhat historical facts.

I've got to side with the linguistic expert. That probably flew over most people's heads, but they were looking at basic forms of conjugation that don't even require the average person to think about. Things like I am, she was, he is, they are, etc. We modern English speakers think we can just throw in a "thou hast" and you have Middle English, but it doesn't work that way. When people make basic conjugation errors, it stands out like a sore thumb.

@BB Sky I had an Eprom programmer in 1980 and was burning them and had an UV eraser. You put the Eproms in the Ultraviolet light eraser for about an hour. I still have all this stuff. So it would be easy to modify the Eprom. I imagine they opened up the computer to look inside to see if there was a massive add on sitting there? Do you remember the crop circles. Scientists said it would be impossible for people to make them. It had to be aliens. That went on for 20 years until a group of them confessed. They used simple methods to make big giant designs at night in the dark. Another thing they could have done is clean the keyboard and put some invisible powder on the keyboard that was like visible in black light. That would show when they left the house that someone was typing. Probably other methods , I can think of other ways you would know. Also put some black ink on the keyboard, like the dye they use in bags of money at the bank and then check the fingers of everyone after a message to see if they have dye on the fingers. Clean the keyboard and then after a message appears , check the keyboard for fingerprints. That is what they should have done , instead of deleting the question , when these investigators were alone in the room. Ink the keyboard with unremovable dye. place the keyboard near the edge of the table and take a picture of it . Most people will move the keyboard a little for more comfortable typing. So just put it in an awkward position and see if it gets moved.

This reminds me of a story of two British couples traveling in France by car I believe in 1979. They got off the main highway, found an inn for the night. The inn appeared old fashioned, the woman was in an old fashioned dress, the windows had no glass but only shudders and the beds no pillows. They stay the night and next morning talk to two gendarmes in old fashioned clothes. The men asked them about how to get to their destination. The policemen were confused. They take pictures, pay the small bill and leave. later they try to stay there again on their way back but can never find it. I believe this was later on British TV.

You could maybe have snuck in some two-way radio setup. Maybe running with thin wires to the micro itself. Radios were bulky back then, and a transmitter would have interfered with the operation of the computer. Error-correction and the like, it's all asking quite a bit. "Down the Earth cable" is a non-starter. Wires though, would snap if they tried move the machine. Onboard radio, no, not practical. That and it just seems simplest and most reliable, to have an accomplice sneaking about doing the few bits that had witnesses waiting downstairs, the rest just being lies. Like a magic trick, you never actually see it happen, it's always behind a curtain. You see before, and after, but never during. Still, interesting old Econet, I can see why they went with IPv4 instead for the Internet. If we *had* gone with Econet, by now a bug might well have mutated up into sentience.

I love stuff like this. But you can see how the prank evolved: it clearly started out as a ghost of a former resident, who was unaware they were dead. Then it changed into the whole time traveller thing. And then they started adding verifiable details, so they had to reveal they were using a fake name originally etc. Not sure who was in on it, but probably all of them. It's a good story that will live on forever.. well done!

The Beeb. Was my first micro (Model B). It was way, way ahead of its time and had one of the best, if not THE best implementations of BASIC Interpreter (BBC BASIC); allowing you to 'embed' machine code routines within a BASIC program. Had a number of spare ROM slots under the hood allowing you to plug in whatever extra software you wanted, getting around its 32K RAM limit by memory 'page' switching. It also introduced me to a game called ELITE which became a cult classic and is now in its latest incarnation as ELITE Dangerous. I miss my Beeb.

That one of the files was called REATE tells me it was made by someone who pressed C for the Create menu option and then kept typing. And probably looking at the keys rather than the screen, thinking they had to type the whole word in. So unless you believe the time travellers were using EDWORD with the same menu system, it was created by a human on that BBC Micro, and probably an inexperienced one at that.

This story was in the Book of short stories called Skeleton Crew. Recognizable by the toy cymbal banging monkey on the cover. I loved the premise of a word processor that makes anything you type come to fruition. But it was way too short and not fleshed out well enough for all the potential it had. It was only 4 or 5 pages long. He basically has a bit of fun with the word processor a little, then kills his wife and the story's done. You kind of get the feeling King was sitting at his desk, staring at his word processor trying to think of what to write about when he made this. "what to write about... a magic word processor!" Heh. It's worth the read, though. Out of Skeleton Crew, I also recommend reading Jaunt and The Mist. All 3 can be read in less than 2 hours.

What makes me discredit the entire series of events, aside from the inconsistencies in the story, is that 2109 seemingly made no effort to convince us of its actual existence. Even though we would likely argue its pure chance, they could have simply given a detail or two about an event that would happen in the near future. The fall of an empire, beginning of a war, etc. After all, the Soviet Union would fall 6 years latter, the Gulf war around the same time and the first Chechen war in 1994. But they made no such effort as best I can tell. And that makes no sense to me, seeing that anyone today if contacted by a time traveler would demand some kind of proof of their validity. And I cant see anyone in 1985 being any different. The only proof of existence given was from LW, but that can be researched. Perhaps one of the original players had come across that information while at Oxford. So while an interesting story, I doubt its real.

Update: the book was reissued in 2021 by Ken Webster and is currently available on Amazon US and Abe Books (now, March 2022) for around $20. It's got a different cover and is a slight update but I believe the info is the same (perhaps slightly added to if anything) if anyone wants to read for themselves :) I'm not involved and don't get anything for saying that! Just aware how hard it's been to find, silly prices etc.

I remember this from the time. There was quite an interest back then as Hawarden is only 20 miles. Computers were new - and still creaky. Few people understood their workings, so the concept of deception was more than likely. Mind you, anyone with such an in-depth knowledge of computers back then was unlikely to have a sense of humour. It was the 'box of lights' thing that grabbed me. I suppose we all wanted it to be real.

??? Computer engineers have a wicked sense of humor. Ours is darker than anyone else’s, usually, but it’s also much deeper & more a part of our daily lives than it is with most normal people. Nerds don’t grow up much. We’re still like children and we’re the ones who run your banking systems, your infrastructure, your corporate IT departments. Never forget that we love trolling people and practical jokes, and wouldn’t think anything about setting up a decades-long practical joke just so we could have a continuing inner laugh every now and then. You really think engineers didn’t have a sense of humor in the 80s???? It was much funner back then _because_ the rest of you never knew a damn thing about what we were up to. Much easier to have fun with people, without their even being aware of it. I’d put my money on Easter eggs - some engineer or group of engineers at acorn playing a practical joke on people. Or, given this unreliable narrator, they could simply be lying about enough of this that it makes no sense to even discuss it, being completely unaware of how it actually played out. For all we know, it was the wife/girlfriend simply typing them up when nobody was looking. But if that couple didn’t do it themselves, I’d look at the acorn engineers first.

17:35: The test-questions were typed into the computer b4 deleting them. What about keystroke loggers by which someone could capture what was typed on the computer (whether it was then immediately erased or not)? Did they exist back then? The theory that microphones could've been placed to pick up the sound of typing to guess what had been typed makes no sense. It could not be guessed what was typed by just hearing typing.

This story has the same theme as the book by Penelope Lively, The Ghost of Thomas Kemp. Someone in modern time, communicating with someone in Elizabethan times. This book was written in 1973 and may well have been known to those involved in the Dodleston messages. The story was also located in Oxfordshire.

I have to say this sounds very in line with society of the era. My grandma in Surrey created a whole intricate story about a ghost called ‘sir rigor mortis’ that walked around the house in people’s shoes at night, and she propped them all over the house whenever we were there to put the shoes in positions that looked like they were making footsteps. She even made little comic books about him too. average 80’s citizens with futuristic and mysterious new devices like PC’s, along with a pretty big cultural affinity in the 80’s all over the world for ghosts/spiritual/psychic stuff, seems a lot like an enthusiastic English person that came up with an awesome idea for a story and tied it into the real world like my grandma did with sir rigor mortis. Plus, the other comment on this video about the possibility of it being networked would also pretty simply sum up what was happening too.

Except for the message from 2109, it sounds more like a ghost attached to the location, rather than a time-traveler. Also, I find it curious that the person from the 16th century uses 16th century English, but that the 2109 person speaks 1985 English. And how on earth is the 16th century person using a QWERTY keyboard?
