I haven't watched this video yet but just wanted to share that I'm glad this story has popped up on the interwebs. In a really weird coincidence, I met one of the chaps involved with this case, Peter Trinder, who had also been a teacher at my mum's school when she went there, and he told us all about this story. It was the first I ever heard of it. On holiday in 2012 back in the village where I went to school, and where my mum had also gone to school, we went and sat in the lounge of the residential library where we were staying (I know all of these details are extremely random!) and this old chap got talking to us. I knew I recognised his name from my mum mentioning it and so we struck up a very pleasant conversation, and that's when he told us about this. I was becoming fascinated by computers at the time and so that's probably how we got around to the subject. Whether or not it was a hoax, Mr Trinder was insistent that he had not been in on it and was genuinely baffled by how this could have come about if it wasn't a hoax. I'm looking forward to hearing Simon's theories on this odd situation and his sceptical mockery of it all 😆 I very much enjoy your channels, Simon, and particularly enjoy Danny's scripts, nice one both!

I'm only 19 minutes in so far, but I'm very solidly leaning towards someone in town has a key to the place who doesn't like the idea of outsiders. In quieter, more trusting towns, giving a neighbour or friend the key to your house so they can check in on things if they don't see you for ages, put the mail/newspapers inside, water plants, feed pets, etc while you're on holidays, etc. Or just have a key so when you lose yours and get home, you can get a spare key from someone who's been safeguarding it. Often these go for years without being used. My parents recently found one such key in the bottom of a box of electronics, and have no idea as to its origin and so disposed of it. My theory is the person who sold the place moved on without remembering that key, and the newcomers didn't change the locks (probably should when you move in to a new place, but not everyone does). The neighbour with the key has, for whatever reason, decided to mess with them. Oh, and the paint footprints always showing up in the same place? I would probably do that with some kind of solvent or grease - I'm sure there are some chemicals that are odorless that paint does not stick to. That way, the footprints reappear in the same place - they haven't been reapplied, they just shed the paint off.

As someone with a history PhD that has had to read documents from the sixteenth century, it is excruciatingly obvious that the words used by the "ghost" is a modern person trying to imitate what they think someone from the sixteenth century would have used. Never mind the fact that English spelling was not formalized in anyway nor was grammar styling - even for a person with an education or "degree from Jesus College." Seriously, even some documents in the nineteenth century are painful to read, but anything from before 1700 is just torture.

Hooo boy, that'sa challenge alright. What are some of the things she claims? We used to have a friend who briefly began leading a club of sorts and claiming she and her boyfriend were once a medieval king and queen _(how glamorous and convenient!),_ and most of the group members were once their loyal subjects _(__#NotACult__.)_ And of course some of their medieval enemies were among our extended friend group now _(so ostracized the people she doesn't like!)_ It took years to recognize that she wasn't just grappling with anxiety, wasn't just being manipulative or spinning a story for escapism (she loved being a LARP storyteller), she actually _genuinely 100% believed that crap sometimes._ Really made us question how many of her claims about her incompetent, shitty roommate were true, but it was too late to do anything to help. We got cut out of their lives. My best friend lost their longest-running, nearing two-decades-long friendship to the weirdness too. It was as weird as it was devastating.

7:30 I was doing some painting one time, and one of the walls had a bunch of phone numbers scrawled on the wall next to the phone. Some of the ink bled right through the paint, no matter how many coats you put on (actually, it was probably only three, since I gave up and scraped down till I removed the original ink, but it was showing no signs of fading out any time soon).

Got our first family computer in 1983 (Commodore), where we saved things on music cassette tapes. Went away to uni in 1998 and got my own brand new computer with 3.2 gigs of storage. No one else in residence had more than 2.5 gigs. The idea that I'd have a terabyte external drive less than 10 years later was crazy. Now I don't bother with more than a couple of physical TBs because... well, cloud storage. I think Debbie was writing the messages. She may or may not have been aware that she was doing so, though.
@noth606
@noth606 11 месяцев назад
So you had a rather boring history with computers eh, apart from having the very first external terabyte drive ever sold. The one thing your story makes me wonder about, is what on earth do you do with all your current TB's - I for one wouldn't find a use for that much storage unless I obsessively collected 4k films or some such. I just have a couple of 512gb SSD's, one is admittedly quite full but the other has barely anything on it since I'm too lazy to spend hours moving junk to it. Cloud storage I find utterly useless since I don't have any data worth spending weeks to upload to a service that then charges monthly and deletes it all if I miss a payment. I'd just as soon delete the data I care so little about myself, and use the money for some cookies or something.

That is what sparked my comment, as it's very unusual to come across the very first adopter of something as relatively expensive as that specific Hitachi drive was when released. My cloud comment is purely from my own experience, I do use it but only for zero importance stuff because of how they work, which to me makes them not really an option as they readily nuke whatever you have there if for one reason or another you miss a bill. Which has happened to me. My boring history comment is because it seems odd to go from a VIC-20 to what I'd assume is a P-II or equivalent AMD without noteworthy steps in between considering how eventful the early 90s were, starting with 386 mostly, and having Pentium everywhere by 95ish, but hey, maybe that's just me, or you left out a bunch of stuff, just seemed odd.

The Samsung Spinpoint HD103UJ came out only a year and change later and was an eminently better drive than the Hitachi amb163 must have had due to his timeline.

Second comment just cause: the part about how language doesn't change the way they tried to make their "future english" look. A great example of a show predicting how the English Language might change and adopt new phrases was Firefly. For example the term they used instead of "cool" was "shiney" that is a literal translation of the Taiwanese slang word for "cool" in modern day Taiwan which is a trend that made its way from Hong Kong to Taiwan (not sure if it is still used in Honk Kong and Chinese dialects).

In the late 1990's there was "The Love Letter," where a man in the 1990's and a woman in the 1800's are able to exchange letters through a desk that sends its contents back and forth in time... the 2000-ish movie "Frequency" lets a son connect to his father 30 years ago through a ham radio to save his life, with all sorts of other temporal hijinks -- and around that same time there was also "Ditto", which also has a similar plot: a girl in the 70's and a guy in 2000 are able to chat with a ham radio... "Time Lapse" from 2015-ish has a group of friends with a camera that can take pictures of the future -- things get dark kinda fast in that one... there's a B-movie spin of this one that used two identical parallel Earths, one a few decades ahead of the other temporally (I totally forget the name of this one tho) -- it also gets super dark kinda fast. In a similar vein, there's been quite a few films about someone who pops back and forth in time, usually to the annoyance of their significant other -- "The Time Traveler's Wife" is one, the others are bit less memorable haha! "Arrival" was a bit like that too, with the aliens who had no sense of time, so they knew the future... or something like that.... And then there's the straight-up time-travel movies, like VanDamme's "Time Cop" or the Bill & Ted series or a few Star Trek movies and episodes. Yes, yes I do watch too many movies :P

I temember my father-in-law telling me about his first computer ( the beginning of a life long addiction.) It had 1/4 of a gig and he wanted to double it to 1/2 a gig. No store at the time could help him infact a couple of sales people laughed at the idea of any one needing 1/2 a gig. He and his friend pulled it apart and after a while they accomplished their desire. It's funny now to think of 1/2 a gig being ridiculous 😅

I'm just fascinated that someone would poull off such a poor prank like with some preparation and planning they could've pranked so much better like imagine going ot the library and seeking out some random obscure cryptic nonsense book and then picking hte name of the author for your character from the beginning so it works out in the end

The idea behind the prank, viewed as a whole, is pretty damn interesting imo. Just think if there had been a group of people involved who could be trusted to keep quiet that included historians, linguistic experts, etc. to help give the story a bit more authenticity. And surely there's an artist of some sort somewhere that could have created an actual book written by the dude from the past, and made it to look weathered. Then to rekindle interest in the story, release some kind of update with cryptic clues that geocaching enthusiasts could find. That would be so fun. Also, I feel that the framework of the story is interesting. Maybe make a "found footage" film about it or something. Lots of ideas in this.

I think ppl believe it becos they want to. When I was young before the internet really kicked off it was fascinating reading about legends such as abominable snowmens and ghosts. You knew, even as a child, they weren't real but kind of wished they were. Same with unexplored or fantasy places, Atlantis and lost cities. I still would love for paranormal stuff to exist but unfortunately I know it doesn't seeing as no evidence exists. Also, claims tend to come exclusively from somewhat crazy ppls. 😿
