# Dodleston Mystery

The Dodleston mystery regards a teacher Ken Webster who in 1984 supposedly started exchanging messages with people from the past and future, most notably people from the 16th and 22nd century, via files on a [BBC micro](bbc_micro.md) computer. While probably [hoax](hoax.md) and [creepypasta](creepypasta.md), there are some interesting unexplained details... and it's a fun story.

The guy has written a [proprietary](proprietary.md) book about it, called *The Vertical Plane*.
