In this episode of the Things I Learned Last Night Podcast, Tim and Jaron talk about the alleged Kersey Time Slip incident, where a group of British teenage boys in 1957 got lost while on a training exercise in the woods and stumbled upon what seemed to be a ghost town version of the village Kersey. The town appeared abandoned, the church bell tower was missing, and the boys looked through the windows of some buildings and saw disturbing things like decaying pig carcasses.
Feeling ill, the boys quickly left and seemed to return back to their normal time when they heard the church bells ringing again. The story wasn’t taken seriously at the time, but years later, one of the boys told his account to an author researching paranormal events. The author corroborated some of the details and theorized the boys may have briefly traveled back to the 14th century during the time of the plague, which would explain the abandoned town and their sickness. The incident has been used to support ideas around time travel and Einstein’s block universe theory, which states that the past, present, and future all exist concurrently.
