Messages across four centuries

Ken Webster’s account centers on messages that appeared on his home computer and later on paper, purportedly from someone who had lived on the site of his cottage four centuries earlier. The correspondence unfolded over two years in the 1980s, and the description notes that its language matched 16th-century English usage. Presented as a personal investigation into an unexplained experience, the book also includes additional material and reflections by Webster in this second edition, published decades after the events. The questions raised by the messages remain unresolved for those involved.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in reported psychic or supernatural phenomena.
  • Readers drawn to accounts of unexplained messages and historical language.
  • Readers interested in the author’s reflections on an experience from the 1980s.

Book overview

The Mystery of the Dodleston Messages: A unique supernatural detective story.

For a period of two years in the 1980s, Ken Webster found himself in the extraordinary position of corresponding directly with an individual who said they had lived on the site of his own cottage four centuries earlier. The correspondence began with messages left on his home computer on the kitchen table, and ended with communications scrawled directly onto paper. Fully prepared for some form of elaborate hoax, Webster found to his consternation that the language of the messages tallied precisely with 16th century English usage.

The Vertical Plane is a riveting personal experience of an inexplicable fault in the fabric of time - and a moving account of a the.relationships mediated across four hundred years.

This is the Second Edition with additional material and further thoughts by the author, after thirty-six years. All involved in the experience are still, to this day, trying to make sense of what happened back in 1984.
