It’s not everyday that a message from the 16th century appears on a computer from the 1980s, so when that happened it caught an English couple’s attention and launched a still-unresolved mystery - across tiiiiiiime!
# Stuff You Should Know Episode Summary
In this episode, Josh and Chuck dive into the bizarre Dottelsten messages, a strange occult phenomenon that took place in 1980s England when a teacher named Ken Webster began receiving mysterious messages on his BBC microcomputer—a machine that wasn't connected to anything. The messages allegedly came from a man named Thomas who claimed to be writing from the year 1546, with a time traveler from 2109 also mysteriously involved, and the whole saga was filled with cryptic poetry, paranormal activity, and evidence that seemed either genuinely inexplicable or suspiciously convenient. Chuck is convinced it's all elaborate fraud, while Josh entertains the mystery just a bit longer before agreeing that there's simply no logical way a haunted, offline computer could be real.
