#16 - Time Slips - Reconsider Simon

This week I delve into a phenomenon I uncovered relatively close to where I’m currently residing. In the North West of England, more specifically the Wirral, and Liverpool seems to be a hot bed of ‘time slip’ activities.

Time slips occur when individuals are suddenly transported to another era whether in the past or even the future. Are we loosing people to these space time disruptions?

Upon some deeper investigation I discover some very credible older examples. I also view the cultural impact, how are these time bending events have been used in literature, films and television. Does cultural world influence the real world?

Enjoy, enjoy!

Podcast transcript

The following text is a A.I created transcript of the podcast, so it may not be a completely accurate representation of my spoken words.

Music Greetings. Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the Reconsider Simon podcast, where I explore reality itself and everything weird and wonderful that’s happening around us. And yeah, today’s episode will be looking at time slips, the concept of time slips.

And yeah, just before I get into that, just want to make a note that I’ve recently released a new video, it’s like a vlog style video, slightly documentary style concerning a trip that I did to Gaston bury in April of this year, 2024.

And it gets into a lot to do with the legends of King Arthur and Jesus and some quite weird and wonderful concepts come from that. And it was actually quite a profound journey for me as well, because it kind of delves into the idea of what it is to be born on this land, whether you define that as Britain or England or Albion.

It was just some very profound spiritual messages that I seem to get from the whole King Arthur and the legends of King Arthur. So yeah, please do take a look that’s on YouTube or Rumble or Bitchute.

So returning back to the main concept of this podcast, which is time slips. And this generally occurs just happens to normal people. And they can just be going about their day or night and then suddenly they’re just transported to a completely different time could be the Victorian era.

There’s another example I’m going to be discussing later on where these two ladies find themselves in the Enlightenment period. And there’s also a few examples of people seeing the future as well. It’s not like these people then just get stuck in those those eras.

They’re not like stuck in time. They do return back to the present. And what I’ve discovered is actually it’s not just one case, it’s just a litany of cases, you know, across the ages. So it’s just quite a regular thing that kind of seems to happen.

I came across this concept because generally I was, you know, research I was looking for paranormal activity or high strangeness in my local area. As many of you will know, if you’ve been listening for a while, you know, I’m temporarily in my sort of hometown of Chester.

And I’ve been occasionally traveling to West Kerber which is on the sea. It’s in the Wirral and, you know, basically there’s a huge marine lake there and I’ve just been winter thing. And it’s a place also is to sort of spend a certain amount of time in my youth as well, going dinghy sailing.

So I know that area quite well. And I’ve been sort of driving back and forth from Chester to West Kerber, you know, literally, you know, once or twice a week, probably about a 40 -minute journey. So I’ve just been generally looking, you know, that whole area, Chester, the Wirral, West Kirby to sort of see what I can find.

And if you don’t know what, where I’m talking about in the United Kingdom, if you look at the sort of the top left of England, where I kind of, the Wales meets, I would guess England, it’s quite close to Manchester, it’s quite close to Liverpool, and the Wirral is this kind of block of square land essentially.

On the right hand side you have the Mersey estuary which kind of obviously then goes through into Liverpool. And on the left hand side you have the D estuary and that’s the river then which goes through Chester.

So you have this kind of block of land which is described as the Wirral. I mean across the world I think Liverpool’s kind of on the map due to the Beatles and most people would know that accent. What’s interesting about the Liverpool accent I’ve always found is that you kind of refer back to old videos of the accent’s quite soft in comparison to what you get now.

It’s like really, really thick, really, really strong. And what you find is that, you know, the kind of will, you still have a Liverpoolian accent but it’s a lot softer. And even going into Chester people have a kind of slight Liverpoolian twinge to that accent.

I didn’t really recognise it until actually left, you know, after I was a teenager I kind of left Chester, spent a time away from home and then came back for Christmas. And then I just suddenly realised actually how Liverpoolian the accent is.

It was quite funny. But I’m always looking around and Wes Kirby I always found quite fascinating. It’s got a lot of sandstones similar to Chester and there’s strange obelisks here and there and it’s always kind of piqued my interest.

I haven’t really deep dived into researching that much yet but overall I was just generally searching Google for kind of strange and interesting stories. And this is where I stumbled upon this website called The Wirral Globe.

Sometimes in the UK, I’m not sure about other places in the world, but obviously you have like local… news websites. But we have a few in the UK where they tend to be sort of satirical like comedy and sometimes quite hard I guess because the world is so crazy at the moment it’s hard to sort of decipher fact from fiction.

But this one is a genuine local news site after a bit of digging and there’s an author on there called Tom Sleeman and I’ve never heard of him before but he does have a series of books and he seems quite prolific in discussing you know the paranormal and high strangers particularly around Liverpool and he’s got around about 40 books and they’re all titled haunted Liverpool but they’re just different versions different volumes you know volume one volume two and again he’s got about 40 of them so he’s obviously pretty well versed in all the high strangers in that area.

And again this is the first time I’ve ever come across this individual but I think he may have featured on a local radio may have had a regular show or Being a guest on a show, local radio to Liverpool, so I think it’s well known, you know, if you’re into high strangers and the paranormal that people, you know, the Liverpool area do know it.

But on this We’re All Globe website, again, I’ll put some links in the description so you can check for yourself, but there’s just article after article, you know, discussing time slips and people’s stories, you know, that have occurred in West Kirby, a lot of them.

But also just in the whole We’re All area and Liverpool area as well. And I think what he’s doing is maybe getting stories from, you know, locals, people sending letters or emails. And it doesn’t make the We’re All look like the nexus of time, just like this crazy bending of time anomaly that’s occurring in the area.

The sheer volume of content is quite impressive for this We’re All Globe website. And, you know, back in my mind, I was like, you know, is this really true? Is this really happening so much in this area?

And I guess what he’s doing is just not, he’s just basically receiving content from people when he’s just releasing it. And so who knows, you know, how much of this is true or not, you know, because people obviously could make these things up.

But these time slip articles were starting to be released about 2017. And he’s still doing it to this day. So there’s a lot to, you know, look through. Like any topic like this. I mean, I’ve done a certain amount of research and, you know, you dig deep and you uncover sort of hidden gems.

And then it comes to kind of recording a certain position. And then when I release the podcast and I start coming across new information, so I could be missing kind of aspects to the story here. But it does seem that, you know, this whole idea of time steps is very UK centric.

I mean, there are examples definitely of other ones occurring, you know, in the world. But the United Kingdom, specifically the northwest is west of England. And there’s a very, you know, very famous street in Liverpool called Bold Street, which is reference everywhere.

There’s articles on different websites across the world and they always seem to mention Bold Street in Liverpool. So it’s quite a famous location for this time slip anomaly. And because of that, on Reddit it has its own threads.

If you go on YouTube there’s countless people talking about the story and their understanding of it and there’s multiple different events with different people having the same sort of experience. So again it all seems very UK centric and strangely I’m always finding connections to do with cultural media at the time.

Could be films, could be movies, could be TV series. And again this this anomaly has very much a connection to certain TV shows that were produced back in the 1970s which I’m kind of going to get to as well.

So yes you’ve got kind of the UK as a whole having all these very strange time slips as countless stories. There is one quite funny story which I’m going to bring up later on as well. with a guy who falls down some kind of time hole but it’s not really going to a different era, time era, he goes to what’s a different dimension and a dimension where the Beatles never broke up and he managed to steal this cassette tape of their material and then he brought it back to this reality and so you can actually listen to this music on YouTube of these like lost Beatles you know songs that were discovered from this other dimension and there’s a whole website kind of revolving around this story as well so I’ll leave you to figure out whether you think that’s true or not.

I think it’s probably not true but it’s quite a good fun read anyway and the music about you know that’s being recovered this lost Beatles anthology is actually pretty good music anyway so time slips it’s kind of like ghosts where I think you know you’re going to find stories which you’re like yeah I don’t sure I believe that but there are definitely stories out there where you’re like well that is really really strange just due to the people involved the information they had and the fact like all of these kind of situations with like high strangers the paranormal if in your certain position of responsibility and you’ve got a certain social standing and you’re talking about stuff like this it really harms your credentials and then people kind of look at you weird so when people like that are sort of talking about these sort of stories and you’re like okay I’m going to sort of pay attention to this as being a potential real thing but returning back to Tom Sleeman’s work again he centered around the Wirral and the West Kirby is quite a major town in the Wirral area and it just feels quite funny how some of these stories makes it feel like an Edgar Wright movie and he’s a director British director tends to do a lot of comedy films and you have like a film called Shaun of the Dead which is you know details of zombie apocalypse that happens in a London suburb so it’s very different to usual sort of zombie films you have where they tend to be in big city locations like in America and another film he did was like Hot Fars which is an American buddy cop style movie but again is based in a suburb and it’s kind of like what West Kirby feels like in a way you have these like brand idea of like time slips of people having these experiences in a completely different timeline but it’s in a very sort of quite quaint slightly run down sort of seaside town.

I call it the Riviera of the north for the waters definitely not San Tropez it’s quite muddy because estuary water so you know inherently it’s a little bit brown looking so there’s no kind of like beautiful blue seas there at all and when the tide goes out it just goes out for miles and you have this vast expanse of sandy beach and there’s a series of islands you can actually walk to as well when the tide’s out.

So on this Wirral Globe website on Lambican Lane and this is released in the second of June this year, 2024. So the article goes on to say that there’s a time -slip hotspot near Landerkin Lane and this was reported near to a public footpath where it crosses the N -53 via bridge and there were two painters working, Jimmy and Bob, and this happened back in 1984, this encounter.

And what occurred is that their work van unfortunately broke down on Landerkin Lane. Now Jimmy, the painter -decorator, decided to explore a nearby field where the van was and he saw something very unusual in the field.

He saw this massive unknown craft in the field and it was white, it had windows and panels and it had two glass domes on top of the craft and a sign near to the craft itself while it was hovering and it said Heswall Spaceport.

In the same field and also near the craft and the other sign they discovered another sign that actually had a red line emblem on it with the words Republic of Written, written beside the symbol itself.

And the painters were both very confused what this craft was, was it a plane? Apparently Jimmy at the time thought it was some kind of top secret military exercise and while they’re having this experience the craft actually admitted this siren had like flashing lights and the ship slowly started to take off and the whole ground kind of rumbled around.

As the ship was flying away they also noticed that that same red line symbol was also seen on the hull of the ship and as it went off into the distance they started to spot a second ship that looked very very similar coming into view.

At this point Bob, the other painter -decorator, managed to fix the broken van. They were both very very spooked by the whole situation and decided to leave the area immediately. Jimmy apparently warned Bob not to share this story, they were both terrified of what happened and they didn’t want to be ridiculed.

Bob decided to sort of tell his family about the strange encounter and they were actually ridiculed for their spaceship story. Later on they returned to the same site where they had this experience and the whole spaceport sign completely disappeared.

There was no signs of these like you know advanced craft flying around, there was nothing there what they witnessed previously. But what did occur apparently shortly after this event that there were multiple UFO sightings reported on the radio, again near the M53 which is very near to where the Painter decorators van originally broke down.

And the actual author Tom Sleeman he thinks that these weren’t actually UFOs but people were seeing these future spacecraft and he did a little bit of research in terms of you know what’s to come in terms of like future spaceports and it turns out that actually there’s a spaceport, I never knew this, there’s a spaceport that’s being built near Snowdonia which is in Wales so it’s relatively close by.

Snowdonia is the largest mountain I think in Wales, beautiful area and there’s a series of spaceports that are planned to be constructed around the United Kingdom. I didn’t realise this all happened it was the UK space flight laws which were established in 2018 and so yeah potentially maybe these gentlemen did see spacecraft from a different era from a future aspect of humanity where we have access to this sort of flying saucer UFO technology.

There was another aspect to the same article in 1960, apparently two boys witnessed this flying saucer and then saw these two very human -looking men sort of coming out from the source of like speaking English and again this same situation occurred near Landerkin Lane, this apparent hot spot of time -slip activity.

So what’s potentially fascinating about this story particularly the first one in terms of like having this symbol with the Republic of Britain, it does point towards it maybe the monarchy is disbanded or got rid of and now we’re a republic and now kind of humanity has access to advanced propulsion vehicles which are able to time travel potentially.

The sheer amount of Tom Sleeman stories particularly to do with time slips, it does make me a little bit suspicious because there’s so many of them but even just during the course of researching this topic actually what I’ve noticed if you go on a lot of these stories could be national newspapers could be the Daily Mail or I think the Summit America also reported on this and people in the comments are actually sharing their own experiences of having time slip so maybe this is more common than we realize and just people keep quiet because they’re embarrassed to share.

So moving on from Tom Sleeman’s work I’m now going to focus on a book called An Adventure. Now this was released in 1911 and so the whole phrase and the whole definition of time slip didn’t I wasn’t really defined back then but what makes this story really fascinating and really quite highly is the people involved.

They were two academics, and they were visiting the Palace of Versailles, which is outside of Paris, about 11 miles outside of Paris. This is one of the original royal residencies for the royal family when they existed in France.

But when these two academics visited the Palace of Versailles, the 10th of August 1901, and they had an incredibly epic, very, very intense time -slip experience. And for me, it feels like one of the first recorded incidents of time -slips in terms of when it’s actually been written down as an account.

In fact, they created a whole book surrounding the entire experience itself. Now, these two academics weren’t from any university, they were from Oxford. And what happened, they had this experience in France, and when they returned, one of them also had a similar experience in St Margaret’s Road, which is in Oxford itself.

There are a lot of articles and blogs concerning this particular story, it’s a well -known one. And the one I’ve decided to read out here is from… Dark Oxfordshire and the title of the article is called A Timeslip in St.

Margaret’s Road and it was penned in the 15th of April 2001. I’m just going to read some extracts from this article itself, again I’ll leave this in the description notes for you to find yourself. When the book An Adventure was published in 1911, it caused a sensation.

It purported to be the true account of how two English women touring the grounds of the Palace of Versailles had either travelled through time or perhaps witnessed a very vivid haunting. They claimed to have found themselves walking through scenes from the Palace’s past, including seeing the ghost of Marianne Toenette and experience in the gardens as they would have been in the 1700s.

The book originally was published anomalously and it was not until after their deaths in 1931 that the identities of the two authors were made public. They were Charlotte Anne Moberly and Enola Jourdain of Oxford.

The pair were senior staff members at St Hugh’s College, both having held the role of principal of the college at different times. Their claims were much derided at the time and since then there have been numerous theories put forward to explain what they claim to have seen, ranging from hallucinations to having stumbled into a fancy dress party.

Nevertheless, the story captured the public’s imagination. Both Moberly and Jourdain claimed to have had other similar supernatural experiences both before and after their experience at Versailles. Most notably, Enola Jourdain claimed to have had experienced a similar type of time slip in the road outside St Hugh’s College in St Margaret’s Road, Oxford.

She described having seen a prisoner dressed in a style of middle ages being dragged down the road, which was lined by jeering crowds wearing clothing of a similar period. I think this story is absolutely fascinating and, you know, it’s even more credible due to the fact you have these two Oxford academics, you know, so they’re have a lot of social standing and they’re kind of coming up with this quite fantastical information.

Apparently, eventually, mobily, eventually distanced herself from these experiences, but Jourdain was very different. The other academics, she fully embraced it and continued to have, you know, mystical time -alternate experiences.

But the conversation around time slips and, you know, where and how do these occur? You know, is it to do with a really complex interaction of geology, earth energies and sort of cosmic sailor energies?

Or is it people having reincarnation flashbacks? You know, maybe they’re having past lives and they’re just having this really all -encompassing remembrance. And I think maybe in this case, my own theory with these women is that when they traveled to France to Versailles, these were places that they’d already been.

Maybe they had reincarnated lives there. And similar when they were back in Oxford, they were remembering periods of time when they spent in the Middle Ages. It might be quite interesting to read their book and adventure one day.

Try and add that to my humongous reading list, which I’m stayingly getting through. But yeah, fantastic story. Another quite credible and believable story involving time slips again occurred in the United Kingdom involving this individual called Sir Victor Goddard.

This is quite a bizarre incident and it occurred in 1935, so obviously slightly before World War 2. So Sir Victor Goddard was in the RAF I guess and he was flying over an abandoned airfield called Drem airfield.

At that particular time in 1935 it was overgrown, it was unused and then he flew back the same route a few days later and he seemed to encounter a very strange yellow cloud and it really disorientated Goddard’s flight.

Eventually Sir Victor managed to break through the clouds and he said he saw Drem airfield again. At this time it looked very very different, it was completely operational. There were mechanics working on planes, the planes were painted bright yellow, the mechanics were wearing these blue overalls and he also saw a very unfamiliar familiar monoplane which was spotted on the runway.

So I guess at that point in time when he was flying his plane it was a biplane so it had the two wings so he was seeing a craft potentially from the future timeline. Sir Victor was completely disorientated and by that point the storm had actually returned and the airfield completely vanished from view again suddenly.

Goddard eventually regained control of his planes, I think he lost control of it slightly during the storm itself and was able then to land safely. Apparently he recounted this whole story, this whole situation in a book in 1975 and what he said when he returned to base.

He told the story what he witnessed to his colleagues, to his friends and it was met with a huge amount of skepticism. But what happened a few years later, the RAF then started to paint their training planes yellow and the monoplane he saw, the Magister was introduced in 1930.

39. Also the mechanics, the uniforms changed and they were actually given blue overalls. And so the whole Drem airfield which was originally disused in 1935, by 1939 it was completely operational again.

Similar to the two academics who went to Versailles, this particular story named Sir Victor Goddard’s time slip adventure is very well known. I think it was very much popularized because it appeared in a magazine called Fate magazine in the United States which I think was quite famous paranormal magazine at the time, not sure if it’s still running at the moment.

But I guess this story is quite different to many others because he’s foretelling the future is going into this strange yellow cloud and then just suddenly popping into a different reality a different time you know 1939 so a few years ahead and then returning back to his own time.

And yeah really really fascinating one. Again I guess you know is this scenario, this experience personal to him, you know, would necessarily a different individual in a different plane that same exact time had a similar experience.

You know, is Victor Goddard basically visualizing an experience he has in the future in some way? Or is it an atmospheric thing, you know, you’re having this flux in the space time where future is bleeding into the present in some way?

But again, what makes this credible is who he is. He obviously has a certain amount of social standing, he’s a sir, he’s been knighted, he’s talking about this story and he’s very bold, he knows his own mind, he knows what he’s experienced and he’s very confident what he’s saying and he has a lot to lose telling the story as well.

So again, this makes this story even more fascinating. But as you continue to learn more and more about various time -slip stories, you can start to then to categorize how these things are occurring.

Are people seeing ghosts? Are they having past life remembrance when visiting a particular location? Is it some kind of strange natural portal that’s always there? Or is this just a kind of freak, again, bleeding of space time into another reality?

This whole theory and situation to do with time slips has been picked up by quite major news organizations around the world, some in America. I’m going to reference now the Daily Mail, obviously now is quite popular all over the world, has quite a big global reach.

And they had an article called, Have You Ever Experienced a Time Slip? And this was written on the 16th of May 2021. And it was just a general article discussing the time slip and talked about some of the more famous stories, particularly ones we’ve just spoken about.

But it basically brings up the story of a particular individual, which I’ll read an extract from it now. Some paranormal investigators speculate that time slips tend to happen in more ancient areas where intense events have occurred.

In 2011, Relationships Counsellor Rian Kivitz, 46, visited the Temple of Karnak in London. I recall my partner speaking to me, but his voice was muffled. In the UK many anecdotes of time slips emerged from historic counties of Devon, Cornwall and Kent, something that Rhian can attest to.

At Compton Castle in Devon she remembers seeing a knight in armour walking past her. It was as clear and real as everyday life, while at Leeds Castle in Kent Alice Pollock reported a room suddenly changed in appearance and she saw a tall woman in white pacing.

She later discovered that Queen Joan of Navarre had been accused of witchcraft and imprisoned there in the 15th century. These two ladies detailed in this Daily Mail article it’s quite similar scenario and story as the academics who went to Versailles and obviously quite tuned in sort of psychic women who are having these experiences and again I would ask the question of these past lives or again potentially you know maybe there is some sort of natural portal that’s opened up where these times are kind of bleeding into their reality.

This article really highlights how these sort of timeslips scenarios are happening now in the present day still and probably will in the future and the fact that you know this global behemoth news news organization is now reporting I find quite fascinating.

There are a couple of books actually written on this particular subject of timeslips so they really specialize on this particular subject and one author is called Rodney Davies and his book is called timeslips journey into the past and the future.

At the beginning of this recording I was discussing how you know how we know about these timeslips because people having these experiences maybe they’re completely immersed in it or maybe they just get a kind of flicker of it but they you know they’re returning back to the present time to kind of tell their story and describe what they saw but apparently he argues in this book that maybe thousands of people disappear every year due to these timeslips and he kind of harks back to how you find sort of strange machinery.

Found in old coal seams when they have these mines and then they’re digging for coal and they find actual kind of machinery embedded in the coal I have no idea geology wise how long it takes for coal to be produced but I guess it’s a very long time so the fact that people are finding potential machinery or technology in these coal seams is quite strange but I wouldn’t rule out the fact that maybe there are kind of have been civilizations,

ancient civilizations that had these technologies. And obviously that doesn’t really fit into the mainstream timeline of how humanity has developed but again yeah maybe I could be. What I can gather from the synopsis of the book is that I think he talks about how it’s that whole adage in terms of like time happening all at once, you know, the past, the present, the future, all happening simultaneously and somehow human consciousness can only really tune into the present time.

But maybe they have freak situations where the consciousness shifts into the past or to the present and then starts to kind of view those timelines. I would say that’s a very reasonable kind of summation and potentiality of like maybe what’s happening with this with these scenarios.

But I think moving on to one of the most famous locations for time slips and again you will find research to do with this street everywhere. This is again in Liverpool, Bold Street. I find many YouTube videos talking about this.

I think what makes this story of note and quite important is the fact you have multiple people having similar experiences and yeah of course I think maybe because it gains popularity there could be some stories in there where people have just like mischievously made it up and but I think there’s probably a lot of truth in some of the stories that are coming out from this particular street and then let’s not forget you know Liverpool is a very ancient place I guess it would it’s it’s heyday I assume would be in the industrial revolution very much a big port connected to world trade it connected to the north of England especially to the world and because it was such an important place in terms of being a port and connecting to the rest of the world it very much influenced why it became such a haven for kind of music you know in terms of the Beatles because you had all these imports from these records particularly come from the United States you know from soul music and blues music which I’ve never really heard on these shores before and it really kind of kicked off a complete musical revolution sort of beginning in the late 50s and then roll you know really ramping up in the in the 60s and the whole kind of mersey beat and the British invasion in the United States was a humongous monolithic musical movement strangely now Liverpool is deemed as being actually underpopulated due to the fact you have vast swathes of parts of the city streets just completely abandoned large beautiful old buildings completely abandoned and because of the loss of the port because of the loss of the warehouses but anyway that’s a brief history of Liverpool so reasonably center to the city of Liverpool there is bold street and this is the place where people experiencing these time slips multiple people have talked about their experiences being immersed in the past decades and there seems to be a common thread of people being projected back to the 1950s and the 1960s there are many questions about some of these stories some people perceive them as being hoaxes or hallucinations,

but I think one of the most famous stories to come out of Bold Street involved an off -duty policeman called Frank, and this happened in 1996. And again, this kind of brings real credibility to the story because he’s perceived as being an authority figure, so he’s got a lot to lose telling this story.

And also later on I’m going to be discussing how the BBC did a slight documentary and picked up on this story as well later on. There are many, many articles and blogs written about this particular story.

There’s one I found on mediumbook .com that’s called The Liverpool Timeslips and Mysterious Occurrences in Bold Street, and this is released on the 30th of February 2018. I’m going to read an extract for you now.

It is 1996. His wife decided she wanted to go and buy a book at Waterstones, the large bookstore, and they started to walk towards the area of the shop. As they approached Bold Street, Frank decides to go into another shop first and bumped into his friend and stopped to chat in the street.

His wife went ahead without him. A few moments later, Frank said goodbye, visited his shop and turned to go back to meet his wife. After reaching Bold Street, he headed on towards the bookstore. As he approached, he glanced up and was surprised to see the name, crisps above the door.

As he was about to cross over to see what was going on, a van swept past him with the name Cardins on the side. The van’s driver honked his old -fashioned horn and drove past. Looking around, Frank suddenly realised that things were not quite as they should be.

He looked at the cars driving past and realised that they were old -fashioned vehicles such as people would drive back in the 1950s and 60s. And then he noticed the people. Men were wearing hats and macs and women were dressed in headscarves, bull skirts and had old -fashioned hairstyles such as women wore after the war.

By this time, Frank was beginning to feel slightly freaked out. He carried on crossing the road and headed towards the store. As he got closer, he noticed in the window there were handbags, shoes and umbrellas.

Suddenly, he saw a young woman looking at the top of the shop sign. She looked confused. She was wearing modern clothes and as she saw him approaching, she smiled at him. Frank went into the shop closely followed by the young woman.

When they entered, he was surprised and pleased to see it had indeed turned back into a bookshop. The young woman smiled, shook her head and said, that was strange. I thought it was a new clothes shop.

And then she walked away looking extremely puzzled. This may sound like an unlikely tale, but the odd thing about it, Frank was in fact a former police officer and was used to dealing in facts and definitely wasn’t the type of person who would believe in the paranormal.

Frank never stopped talking about it. Was this a time slip? Evidently, Crisps was a woman’s shop that sold clothes and other goods decades before. Tardint was also a well -known Liverpool firm that owned vans around the same time.

So again this is probably one of the most famous time slip stories that you see repeated everywhere but actually what’s fascinating about this one is that actually people went back to try and find the individuals involved and try and confirm some of the details.

Now this was reported in the Birmingham Mail which is another local news site and they were talking about time slips particularly within Bulge Street and they were reporting on the BBC created a documentary series that I’ve never seen before called Uncanny and it’s presented by a guy called Danny Roberts and I think they seem to every single documentary they focus on a different paranormal story.

So I just realized I got that guy’s name wrong it’s Danny Roberts is the presenter of this particular documentary series. Anyway, but during this episode when they were concentrating on time slips, they went back to try and prove the policeman’s story.

They tried to find that original policeman. They didn’t manage to find him, but they actually found the girl in the story who also experienced that time slip. So the Birmingham Mail wrote an article concerning this and it’s called Woman’s Horror as Time Slip Changes Everything on English Street and She’s Suddenly in the 1940s.

Now this article was released quite recently, it’s 27th of October in 2023 and again I’ll just read an extract of that now to you. Danny Robbins who hosts Uncanny asks if the story is true to which Kieran says I’d love it to be true.

I think it might be an urban myth, but you know I just don’t know. However, a little later in the episode, Danny is able to track down a woman called Julie who claims she was the young lady caught up in the time slip.

Danny also he explains he wasn’t able to track down Frank. Danny explains in 1996 Julie was in her 20s and had never experienced anything she thought was paranormal. The episode sees Danny meet Julie on Bold Street in Liverpool.

Looking into the shot window, Julie says so I stood here and I looked into the window and the display was old -fashioned, like 1940s vintage shoes and handbags. They looked really good quality and I thought oh wow I didn’t know whether they were just vintage or they just put on an old -fashioned 40s theme and then I turn and I seen the people.

I’d seen probably about 12 people and they were like in 1940s 1950s clothes. The men stuck in my mind more, it’s that they had macs and hats on and I distinctly remember a man with a big paper under his arm.

Asked by Danny if she went into the shot, Julie says yeah I went into the shot. I opened the door and as I went in initially everything was old -fashioned displays. It was dark inside. And then, as I turned around, the shot became lighter again.

Next to me, there were just book displays and I’d seen a sign for Dylan’s. As I’m coming out of the door, a man in 90s clothes, now this is the first person I’d seen in the normal 90s clothes, grabbed my arm and he said, did you see that?

And I was like, yeah. Danny asks if the man was frank, to which Julie replied, yeah. All I could think of was to get out of here as quick as I can. I was really scared because part of me thought, what if I don’t come back?

What if I go out this door and those people are still? It’s still old. Still old. Passed in time. So these further investigations into the story just make this really compelling because it’s again involved the policeman, admitted that they couldn’t find him, but they managed to find this lady, Julie, who apparently is part of the story.

And it just goes to show how much this has really been cementing the public consciousness even more, the fact that she was. Projected on national television on the United Kingdom. So it really adds a lot of weight to the story.

So moving on to a bit more of a silly one, a bit more of a mad one. This is a story involving a man who has a time slip experience and he’s able to bring back new Beatles material. He somehow managed to fall into a completely different parallel universe where the Beatles never broke up and they continue to tour and they continue to make music.

Now there’s an entire website surrounding this whole event and it’s called BeatlesNeverBrokeUp .com and it looks like it was launched on the 9th of September 2009 and noticeably it seemed to when it was launching to marry up with a Beatles anniversary campaign that was occurring at the same time as well whether the two things are linked officially, I have no idea.

Anyway but if you go to this website BeatlesNeverBrokeUp .com you can download the whole album for free and also I found the track, someone’s uploaded it on YouTube as well so you can kind of find them there.

But the whole story surrounds an individual called James Richard and he’s traveling to Del Puerto Canyon in California and I guess it’s quite kind of, I don’t know the area, I guess it’s quite desert region and he stops his car and he has his dog with him and his dog manages to run away and so then he tries to chase after his dog to try and catch up and eventually he trips over a rabbit hole in the ground and then just knocks himself out.

So James wakes up on the desert floor after knocking himself out and he’s discovered by an individual called Jonas who lives nearby so Jonas helps him get up and then takes James back to his home so he can recover.

Now the first thing that’s weird about where he’s woken up is that before when he was running around looking for his dog there was no properties to be seen, no hint of civilization, no people, so that was already a weird thing.

This is where where the story gets a little bit silly and this is where I’m like okay this is obviously not potentially true. But he wakes up in this parallel universe but doesn’t realise it at the time but this new reality, their ketchup is not red but it’s purple.

Plus they never embraced you know CDs as a medium in terms of like listening to music, they still use cassettes so that you know the cassette was still king. Then the next difference to this reality which is obviously linked to this Beatles aspect is the fact that the Beatles never split up and they continue to make music and then I guess that meant that John Lennon continued on and didn’t die so he continued on into old age and they continued to create more and more music.

Jonas then apparently went through his music collection you know showing repeated Beatles music tapes that didn’t exist in his reality, these are completely new albums of music. Now Jonas left the room at some point and then Rich has decided to run out the house and try and get back to his own reality.

Whilst he was doing that, he grabbed one of the cassette tapes with him as well. So he managed to get back to, you know, the present, the current reality, his own reality. But with him, he had this cassette of lost Beatles music from his other parallel dimension.

Yes, I know this story is quite out there and a little bit stupid, but yeah, it’s a bit of fun. And I do recommend actually going to the website, TheBeatlesNeverBrokeUp .com because you obviously can download the music there.

It’s actually really, really good. It seems to be like a mashup of existing Beatles tracks. They sort of combined them to make about, I can’t remember, eight, nine, ten, eleven new tracks out of existing music.

We were four guys that I met Paul said, do you want to join the band? Well, then George joined, then Ringo joined, we were just a band who made it very, very big. But this individual, James Richards, stays true to the story.

He sort of denies this is a mashup album. And if you go on the website, they provide evidence of photos of the tapes and the location where this all happened. So yeah, maybe there’s like a one percent chance that the story is true.

I doubt it though. But yeah, because it is quite silly. But these new tracks actually really reminds me as a whole album produced by Cirque du Soleil. I think that’s how you pronounce it. You know, they have those big sort of theatrical circus style events, I think, in Las Vegas where they have these amazing multi -million dollar purpose built theatre.

And I think they did a Beatles theme once, like a show with all these kind of theatrical performers. And anyway, but they had like a mashup CD where they Sort of seamlessly merged all the Ferris Beatles track into kind of one long mix and it was really amazing I’m I remember buying it after probably about 10 -15 years ago now.

It’s a fantastic album and it actually reminds me a little bit of that So we’re moving more now into the whole idea of time slip and that the cultural kind of connections You know this Beatles story, although I don’t believe it’s actually potentially happened.

You know, I could be completely wrong and But what’s fascinating like where a lot of this phenomenon like I’ve spoken previously before in this podcast In terms of the rendition forest event you have all these big sci -fi films that are being released around that particular time like Close Encounter the Third Kind like Star Wars is kind of coming out and like how Potentially these films may be influenced kind of what’s going on.

Is that affecting the collective consciousness humanity? We’re now sort of manifesting these events in some particular way and I started to look at time -stip attention in the same way because I Stumbled across, apparently this is way before my time, but there’s a whole children series in the United Kingdom called Time Slip and it actually aired 1970 to 1971.

It involved two teenagers who discovered basically a time barrier and they were able to go into this time barrier and have basically traveled into time whether it be future or the past and have all these adventures.

And this was on ITV which is kind of the commercialized version of the BBC in the UK so they have adverts whereas obviously the BBC is publicly funded so they don’t have advertising when you watch the programs.

So it feels to me that maybe this children’s program, because it was really popular at the time and I think it became a real cult classic and it wasn’t until I researched the whole thing of like time slips that I stumbled across this whole TV show.

But it feels like maybe this show you know and the actual word time slip read the find you know the whole phenomenon in some way. If you watch kind of clips of it now it looks a little bit chunky in terms of the effects and things and you know it is quite haunting but I will play a clip for you now.

Again this time barrier allows them to travel time they travel to different areas in history both in the past and the future and they experience and have many different adventures. I think during in the course of the show, when they time travel, their experience, there are many stories surrounding apparently to do with cloning, which is interesting, environmental issues and other alternate timelines.

And again, it became like a real, real cult classic. So it just feels that this 1970s children’s TV show potentially redefined the idea of time slips. And, you know, again, the really famous example of these time slips in Bulge Street in Liverpool.

This wasn’t happening until, you know, the mid early 90s. And again, like with Sir Victor and his plane and the two academics, when they traveled to Versailles, there’s lots of examples that happened of time slips way before the 1970s.

But it feels like that this TV show potentially defined, you know, gave it a name. I was using, you know, chat GPT to sort of try and track down other examples of time slips in cultural, you know, work, whether it be books or films and highlight an example of Mark Twain’s Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s court which was a book written in 1898 and it’s a satirical novel of a modern man for its time and he falls into a time slip and finds himself in medieval period during King Arthur.

Now this is very synchronous to us, very fortuitous because I’ve been doing so much research and I’m still currently reading a book at the moment by Catherine Maltwood all about the Arthurian legends and things and the fact that you know I found a threaded connection between time slips and King Arthur is quite wild.

Obviously this is a complete fictionalized story but yeah it’s still a powerful connection for me but overall that idea of suddenly finding yourself in from the present time where you are into a past or future timeline is quite a well -used plot device within story whether that be within literature or films it’s a very well -used plot device and makes for a very exciting story but carrying on with this cultural idea of time slips and them being used in story whether that would be literature or film or tv but then also when I was previously talking about what’s the mechanism of time slips how does it work is it something to do with ghosts is it something to do with past lives is it something to do with earth energy is it something to do with the atmosphere like all these things and what is actually happening and there’s a very interesting show again which I wasn’t aware of before called the stone tape theory strangely this is another drama produced by this BBC around about the same time this is 1972 but this is not really for children this is kind of aimed at adults because it is described as a horror drama but I’m going to read you an extract from wikipedia that explains some of the plot the stone tape theory is a pseudo scientific claim that ghosts and hauntings occur when historical information is released from rocks and other items the idea The idea of materials holding information from emotional or traumatic events aligns with the views of the 19th century intellectualists and psychic researchers,

such as Charles Babbage, Eleanor Stidwich and Edmund Gurney. Crazy names. Anyway, I continue. Contemporarily, the concept was popularised by the 1972 Christmas ghost story called The Stone Tape, produced by the BBC.

Following the play’s popularity, the idea in turn Stone Tape were retrospectively and inaccurately attributed to the British archaeologist turned parapsychologist T. C. Lathbridge, who believed that ghosts were not spirits of the deceased but were simply non -interactive recordings, similar to a movie.

This is a very interesting idea. I’m going to play a clip from that show for you now. It’s your code number, you fed it in. I didn’t. You must have done it. There are words. They might be words. See, pray.

So, that’s so there. Pray. Pray. It’s in the computer! No! It is! It is! Bloody fool! You picked up words. You got words yourself. That’s how it works. I told you. There it is. Again, this is the first time I’m learning about this show, which is all completely new to me, but really fascinating how it kind of potentially ties into this whole time -sick narrative.

But the whole idea of this show, apparently the plot, the general gist of it, is that you have a whole load of audio recording scientists and they go into this old Victorian building as they’re trying to discover a new recording medium.

Now, this building hasn’t been properly renovated yet and they end up in this room that’s still basically all stone. So, it’s a very, very cold room. It has stone all around it. So, this very cold, stark room where the scientists are there.

They have all their recording equipment there. They suddenly encounter this shrill, this woman screaming and her running away. And they become convinced actually one of the stones has actually recorded this emotional event from the past in some way.

Although terrified, they become very fascinated and excited by it. They’ve actually discovered a new way of recording, a new way of audio recording through the stones in some way. So, they’re trying to locate this particular stone in this room that’s actually recorded this event.

Hence why the whole show is called Stone Tape. I think there’s lots of other details that I’m sort of missing out, but overall they figure out, I think, somehow that the stone, how the stone works, it interacts with the human’s nervous system, which enables them to sort of tune into the…

emotional high -impact events that the Stones have recorded. I think this Stone Tate series, this TV show, I think it was only one show actually. Again, it’s just fascinating how potentially this cultural event, this cultural story may have also influenced the wider world, the world that we inhabit in some way.

I think now I should wrap and conclude things and wrap it up in a summary. So a few things, I think in terms of where you live in your local area, I think it’s always quite good fun to try and find those hidden stories, those hidden phenomena that’s lying around the landscape in some way.

I mean these time -slip stories make for really good local news and that’s how I stumbled across it through this We’re All Globe website because it was relatively close by. But then I just discovered it actually was a more well -known locations in terms of Bulge Street in Liverpool where it’s been widely reported across the world.

and obviously the BBC have investigated it as well and actually found some quite credible, credible evidence. You uncovered this woman Julie who was involved in the story. And then, you know, there’s the book The Adventure, which is very, very powerful story because it involved these two Oxford academics.

So they had a lot to lose in their career wise and personally in talking about this, you know, this experience that they had in Versailles. And obviously the Sir Victor story, when he was in his plane, when he saw the future, this is another really, really good credible story because of who he was and the fact he was this authority figure.

I think with time slips, there’s multiple reasons why people are having these experiences. And again, it could be due to ghosts, it could be sort of this kind of spirits people interacting with. Definitely something to do with past life remembrance when you go into a particular area you’ve been to before in a parallel life, you just suddenly get this remembrance.

I think that something’s occurring as well. But also I think the idea of the magnetic field, I’m a big advocate for the idea when the magnetic field is destabilized in some way that you’re having other realities bleed into this one.

And particularly the idea, you know, really emotional, quite violent, high impact events. And the idea of that TV show Stone Take, maybe there is something in the fact that the geology, the stone can somehow recall these events in some way.

And neither thoughts and ideas and concepts I have, you know, considered previously, because in quartz stone, it is well known that you can actually store information in there. So I think if that, you know, these stones are then interacting with Earth energies or cosmic energies, maybe there is some way that these stones are recording these emotional visual events in some way and replaying it at certain times.

I think on other podcasts, when I’ve been more descriptive on Earth energies, there’s a whole situation around underground water as well. And I think more feminine water, where there’s a lot of activity in terms of people seeing apparitions and other visualizations, which is due to underground water.

I’m not quite sure the science It may contain the following words .Notta It may contain the following words .Notta It may contain the following words .Notta It may contain the following words .Notta It may contain the following words .Notta It may contain the following words .Notta It may contain the following words .Notta I have these really quite haunting memories of some of the shows that they would have for kids on television and they’re amazing but they’re all slightly scary and I think it’s the sort of content you probably wouldn’t get now and but you know sometimes when I listen to the theme tunes and I’ve looked for them on YouTube it just sends shiver down my spine because they were so good and they’re kind of these shows are really etched in my consciousness.

I think it’s quite profound especially when I’ve been talking about time slips because a lot of these shows involved some kind of time slip mechanism or then you know these children falling to other realities.

I mean I’m talking about live action TV so I’m not like cartoons these are proper sort of dramas and there’s one called Moondial. I’ll play a clip for you now of the theme tune maybe it’ll send shivers down your spine if you were you know around in that era.

Moondial is a really good one and I think it was this girl was able to move into two different timelines and interact with these two children in these different periods of time and yeah really fantastic and there’s another one with the children of green I’ll play that for you now and the final one box of delights really haunting I guess if you weren’t in the UK that particular time as a child this would be you know probably means nothing to you and there’s a particular feeling when I hear those theme tunes again it just sort of sends shivers back down my spine so if you kind of around in that period of time you may have the same experience as me but there does seem to be a general theme through some of these podcasts that I’m doing when I’m looking at you various kind of paranormal events or areas of high strangeness,

the kind of the cultural context with it as well. You know like I mentioned with Post Encounters the Third Time and the whole Renaissance thing and you know in Todd Morgan etc and it feels like time slip is a similar thing.

You know there’s all these children’s TV shows sort of starting early 70s going through the 80s where they’re involving sort of children falling into time slips and going into the past or the future etc.

So how much are the writers of these shows potentially channeling these ideas and then obviously presenting them to the collective consciousness or in some way these stories that are then written are then potentially affecting the collective consciousness in the United Kingdom.

This is why you’ll then suddenly get such a high level of time slips occurring in this country. This is what I’ve just found from my cursory research. I could be completely off the mark but it does feel that it’s quite a hotbed of activity in the UK for time slips but it just feels story and narrative is so important for people, for humanity, for their collective consciousness and again this has been made even more real with my latest video which you should watch obviously the vlog when I went to Glastonbury and it all became about King Arthur and it’s just so many stories and they all intermingle King Arthur with kind of Jesus and also Celtic mythology.

So there’s a very kind of deep set of allegories that are kind of deeply within our consciousness that we’re not really aware of and yeah I just find that whole scenario. I may not even read a literature guy at all but I’ve just really uncovered I guess this last year two years of how important story is to us.

I’ve always had like a regular daydream actually you know what would happen if I went into a time slip and found myself in a completely different time. I’d probably have a similar action to Julia Liverpool where I’d be a little bit freaked out it’s like could I get back you know I would have a slight panic attack I think I don’t think I’d be like oh yeah this is cool and because you’d be really I would be concerned I’d get stuck in that time and then you know what would you do if you were stuck in this time because you know I’m useless in any other era because all my skills surround computers so if computers don’t exist then I’m pretty rubbish.

If that author Rodney Davies is correct about time slips and he proposes the fact that potentially thousands of people go missing in time slips all the time I would hope it happened to me you know touch wood it doesn’t that I had like an iPhone on me that so at least I could potentially prove to people that I came from a different era.

Anyways this has been a fun podcast and particularly you know when I was talking about the television series actually it’s really piqued my interest and give me a little bit of inspiration maybe for some deeper research in another podcast at some point and particularly there’s a one show that sticks in my mind which is called Alternative 3 which is based on a book and then was I think was dramatised again by British TV probably the BBC I think during the 70s.

But a lot of researchers, particularly within ufology, perceive this piece of work to be a type of soft disclosure, because it talks about the secretiveness of having human bases on Mars and things. And yeah, so a lot of people point towards alternative three being a type of soft disclosure in some way.

I think that’s a bigger conversation, you know, particularly some of the shows I talked about now, like how much of that is not just purely just a story that is strategically put there as a form of disclosure in a way to try and affect the collective consciousness.

And I think also there’s another conversation to be had about some of these big British institutions. Some of them are now being privatised and kind of broken up, but you have these BBC, obviously it’s to do with television and radio.

British Telecom was originally kind of the publicly owned telephone service. So back in the 80s, you had a telephone, it was through British Telecom. Now it’s all privatised and you get individual companies now, BT is still around, but it’s now private.

And so, yeah, again, BT Telecom, it all kind of feeds into the the renaissance narrative, particularly of Orford Ness and around that whole Suffolk area. Get places like Marconi, which is now a defunct sort of software development agency.

And that ties into ideas to do with like Falklands War and this discovery of this sentient black goo and the ideas of alien A .I. And and I think like all of the BBC and the BT and the Marconi’s and even the NHS, actually, sometimes I think there’s a deeper reason for their existence, you know, particularly the NHS, more of a medical surveillance sort of institution.

There’s no doubt in certain cases they help you. But some of these institutions, I think there are darker reasons for them existing. And I think maybe at some point should kind of research more into those areas.

Now, I think because everything’s being so centralised, you know, a lot of our TV, I mean, I’m guilty of this because I’m watching Apple TV, I’m watching.

Have a good morning, afternoon, evening, wherever you are in the world. Take care. Bye bye.
