In the final episode of Season 1 of Time Slipped, Nikki Rich examines one of the most quietly unsettling cases ever recorded in medieval history: The Green Children of Woolpit.

Set in 12th-century Suffolk during the political instability of The Anarchy, this isn’t a fairy tale passed down for entertainment. It was documented—independently—by chroniclers William of Newburgh and Ralph of Coggeshall, men whose work focused on wars, royal disputes, and church affairs. And yet, both included the same strange account.

We explore:

1. The historical context of medieval Woolpit and why strangers would have been instantly noticed
2. The agricultural and domestic details that make the record feel more like witness than myth
3. Theories and parallels
4. The psychological layers of trauma, memory, and constructed origin stories
5. Why the tone of the chroniclers matters—and why it still destabilizes modern readers

Most importantly, we ask why this story survived in the historical record at all.

If you’re drawn to stories that live between history and the unexplained—time slips, reality glitches, and archival mysteries—this is one of the oldest cases we have.

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.
