The Dodleston Messages: Time Travel or Hoax?

With OMR taking a break over Christmas, I thought I’d use this opportunity to introduce you to some of my other shows you may not have discovered yet.

In 2024, I created Mysteries at Bedtime — a show designed for those who enjoy a good mysterie before drifting off to sleep. So here’s one of our most popular episodes to date.

In the quiet village of Dodleston, Cheshire, a bizarre and baffling mystery began unfolding in 1984. Ken Webster, a schoolteacher, was working on a BBC Micro computer when strange messages began to appear—written in an archaic form of English, and allegedly sent by someone living in the year 1541. The messages continued over the following months, becoming more elaborate and unnerving. Later, new messages arrived this time from someone claiming to live in the year 2109, warning of unseen forces manipulating time itself.

Known today as the Dodleston Messages, this case remains one of the strangest examples of alleged time slip communication in modern paranormal lore. Was it an elaborate hoax, a psychological trick… or genuine contact across centuries? In this episode of Mysteries at Bedtime, we examine the digital trail, the witness accounts, and the unanswered questions behind one of Britain’s most haunting tech-era mysteries.
