Description

In the quiet English village of Dodleston, a borrowed school computer became the epicenter of one of the strangest documented mysteries of the 1980s. Without internet or any external connection, messages began appearing—written in archaic English, claiming to be from a man living in the year 1546. The bizarre files described the house in perfect detail and responded to questions typed by the owners. Was it an elaborate hoax… or something far stranger? This is the true story of the Dodleston Messages—one of the eeriest cases of electronic communication ever recorded.
