S05-E06 - The Vertical Plane Part 1

An old Cheshire cottage begins to change.Small footprints appear on freshly painted walls.Objects move, messages arrive, and a BBC Microcomputer becomes the centre of one of Britain’s strangest paranormal cases.In the first part of The Vertical Plane, Haunted UK Podcast explores the extraordinary story of Ken Webster, Debbie Oakes and Meadow Cottage in Dodleston. In the mid-1980s, long before the internet entered ordinary homes, a series of messages began appearing on a school BBC Microcomputer brought into the cottage for writing and word processing.At first, the messages are strange, poetic and unsettling. Then they begin to take on a clearer voice — that of a man calling himself Lukas, who claims to live in the same house, but in the 16th century. As Ken, Debbie and their friend Peter Trinder try to make sense of the language, dates, historical clues and inconsistencies, the cottage itself becomes increasingly active, with strange markings, stacked objects, cold sensations, tapping sounds, vivid dreams and what appears to be poltergeist phenomena.Blending alleged time communication, haunting, Tudor history, psychical mystery and one deeply unsettling question, this episode begins a two-part journey into a case where past, present and future seem to overlap — and where every possible explanation may be stranger than the last.Enjoyed the episode?
