Watching an ASSAP Webinar on the messages and they have confirmed the identity of all the people mentioned in the messages and see this as supporting the messages' veracity - I'd say it does the opposite. It's unlikely one man only mentioned people who made it into history books.

John Jenkins, a poor man who lived near Abertilery, hanged himself in an hay-loft. Jeremiah James, looking towards the place where Jenkins lived, presently saw the resemblance of a man coming from the hay-loft and violently turning upwards and downwards topsy-turvy towards the river.

Please do reskeet this if you know anyone who might be interested in this. Its an odd one that doesn't sit squarely in paranormal, history, computing, sci-fi etc. I don't want to work in isolation and would welcome other views and ideas from anyone really.
First Blogpost done! Check it out! (Although I wish 2109 had warned us about enshittification and why Wordpress would become so useless! Work in progress...)

I am starting to wonder about Peter Trinder's role in all of the happenings with Lukas. All of the evidence supporting Lukas/Tomas' history comes through Peter. Its all a bit lucky that Peter just happens to know a lot about Oxford, and Brasenose, and happens to know the Brasenose archivist who is

I *think* I saw the new (19c) inscription above Stairwell 1. Might have got turned around but it was the only inscription in the old quad and says something completely different. Brasenose' records show a different inscription to that given by Lukas/Tomas and Peter.

Still trying to track down the inscription in Brasenose. It appears that it was the 'foundation' stone for the college (it was previously a hall) and sat above Stairwell 1. Seems odd that none of the staff I spoke to knew what I was talking about if it was the college foundation stone.

Interesting. I'm not convinced about platonic computation forms but, multi-verse is a potential explanation for the 'time slip' type aspect of Dodleston (3 dates, one place). I just wish he had expanded further on how it fits Dodleston. Seems based on having heard a paper and not focussed research.

So this is interesting because a) it used to be different for different cultures and b) in English speaking countries it was a witch/hag. Are we seeing media such as Nightmare on Elm St replace folklore? And creating more cultural homogeneity?
🧠 FACT: Sleep Paralysis demons often appear as the same figure worldwide: a tall, dark entity, sometimes wearing a hat ("The Hat Man"). Cultures across continents developed independent legends for this one recurring hallucination. #SleepParalysis

I'm currently out of work, so hoping to dedicate some proper time to Dodleston so want to get some discussion and engagement going.
The first big question:
Is it a time travel, timeslip or interdimensional event?
I've seen it described as a ghost story, but Lukas/Tomas was very much alive!

Just had a listen to Broken Veil and, not gonna lie, they had me in the first few episodes. I started to get suspicious with the package and then fully knew when I spotted that the final ep was published on April 1st.
As much as I enjoyed being fooled and following along with the high strangeness

My other finding is that there is no 'Oxford University'. Each college is its own discrete administrative unit with its own records.
I'm struggling to see how an alum who completed an undergraduate* degree in the 1950s would have such easy access to Tudor MSS, particularly from colleges not their

The only vaguely concrete finding so far is: no one at Brasenose knew what I was talking about when I asked about the inscription above 'the stairs'. A porter and I had a good poke about, confused a few passing members of staff, but no dice.

Came to Oxford on a 'fact finding mission'.
Grounded research to avoid confirmation bias is surprisingly difficult in 2025. It's impossible to just talk to people and get a feel for what it is going on. Everything is behind email or webpages with the info they think I want, not what I've asked!

Whenever someone sneers at bus spotters I invite them to look through local history pages on Facebook. A huge number of the old photos that people wax lyrical about have a bus in the foreground. So it is the bus spotters who are chronicling our history, and better than most.
