An episode of The Why Files titled The Dodleston Messages reviewed events which began in 1984 when teacher Ken Webster moved into a quaint property called Meadow Cottage in Dodleston, Cheshire. The eighteenth century house had evidence of a previous building on the site.
Unusual messages began appearing on Ken’s pre-internet computer, supposedly from someone living in the same place, but in the year 1546. It started with a garbled poem signed “L.W.” and evolved into communications scrawled directly onto paper.
Six-toed footprints appeared in the household dust of Meadow Cottage. Other prints seemed to walk up walls between the bathroom and kitchen. Ken painted over the footprints, but they returned the following day.
