https://www.myscrappydays.com/news.php?slug=the-haunted-computer-dodleston-messages In 1984, in the quiet English village of Dodleston, economics teacher Ken Webster and his partner Debbie moved into a 16th-century cottage. When they brought home a modest BBC Micro computer, strange messages began appearing on the screen. The texts were written in archaic English, signed by a man named “Lukas”, who claimed to be living in the very same house — but in the year 1546. This is the story told in the book The Vertical Plane (1989), one of the most intriguing and best-documented cases of a so-called digital haunting in modern digital folklore. #DodlestonMessages #Ghostinthemachine #TheVerticalPlane #Digitalfolklore #BBCMicro
