In 1989, a man named Ken Webster released a book titled "The Vertical Plane" in which he made a remarkable claim. He said that just a few years earlier, while living in the quaint English village of Dodleston, he began receiving messages on his BBC Micro computer. What's so strange about that you might ask? Well according to Ken, those messages were coming from a man living on the same property in the 16th century.
