In a quiet English village in the mid-1980s, an ordinary home computer became the unlikely gateway to something profoundly unsettling. As personal computing was still in its infancy, the residents of Dodleston Hall began receiving messages that seemed to break every rule of time, technology, and reason. What started as strange glitches and corrupted text soon evolved into full conversations with an unseen intelligence seeming to hail from the year 1547.

The messages claimed to originate from the distant past—specifically the 16th century. The entity spoke of plague, famine, and religious persecution, describing a life that predated electricity, let alone computers. And yet, it typed fluently, asked questions about modern life, and appeared aware of events it should have had no way of knowing. Over time, the exchanges grew more personal, more emotional, and far more disturbing.

Were the Dodleston Messages an elaborate hoax, a psychological experiment, or evidence of something far stranger—communication across time itself? As the conversations deepened, so did the implications, blurring the boundaries between past and present, mind and machine.

What areThungerbirds? Let's talk about them.

High above the horizon of myth and memory, where storm clouds gather and folklore takes flight, there exists a creature spoken of in whispers and witnessed in flashes of shadow against thunderheads. Long before the term “cryptid” entered the modern lexicon, Indigenous nations across North America told stories of colossal birds whose wings summoned thunder, whose eyes flashed with lightning, and whose presence shaped the balance between sky, earth, and spirit.

But these legends don’t remain confined to ancient tradition. Scattered throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries are unsettling reports from settlers, soldiers, and townsfolk—accounts of enormous birds blotting out the sun, carrying off livestock, and leaving witnesses frozen in awe and terror. Photographs rumored to exist, newspaper clippings half-forgotten, and eyewitness testimony too consistent to easily dismiss all blur the line between sacred symbol and biological anomaly.

Are these mysterious avians purely mythic guardians of the sky, misunderstood metaphors etched into cultural memory? Or could they represent a surviving relic of the prehistoric past—an undiscovered giant raptor soaring just beyond the edges of accepted science?

Who was Edgar Cayce, the Sleeping prophet?

In the vast mental plains between sleep and waking, one man claimed to walk the corridors of time itself— the so-called Sleeping Prophet. A humble photographer from Kentucky, he entered trance states where his voice changed, his eyes closed, and answers flowed—answers to questions about health, lost civilizations, human destiny, and the unseen mechanics of the universe.

Over decades, he delivered thousands of readings while apparently unconscious, speaking on everything from holistic healing and reincarnation to Atlantis, earth changes, and humanity’s spiritual evolution. His followers hailed him as a conduit to divine knowledge; his critics dismissed him as a product of suggestion, subconscious patterning, or wishful thinking. And yet, some of his medical insights and historical claims continue to unsettle, lingering in the space between coincidence and clairvoyance.

What makes his legend endure is not just what he said—but when he said it. Long before New Age movements gained traction, his readings described ideas that would later resurface in psychology, alternative medicine, and esoteric philosophy. Whether prophet or projection, his legacy remains woven into the modern fascination with hidden knowledge.
