A family discovered an unusual ‘time traveler’ message while redecorating their new home.
The Murphy family from Lancashire, UK, were removing the wallpaper from the walls of their new home when they found a mysterious message ‘from the past’. To make matters even more interesting, they managed to track down the person who wrote the message!
The message read: “I am here, you are there, separated by time alone. What’s it like in the future?
“Or am I the past? The only answer to that – you are my future, I am your past. I wish you good day 1975 Eileen Walmsley.”
After discovering the note, the family was so amazed to see the message that they decided to track down its writer.
Speaking to LancsLive, father Karl said: “It was my daughter who first saw it. We were in my daughter’s bedroom and started stripping the first layer of wallpaper when we found it. We tried to make it out and I took a picture of it.”
Following the amazing find, the family tried to find the person who shared her name in the note by sharing a photo of the wall on social media.
“I thought I’ll put it on the chat and see if anybody knows her. Another lady came back to me and said ‘I know Eileen, I think she’s moved away, I’ll try and get in contact with her,’” Karl added.
Against all odds, now-62-year-old Eileen was found and she couldn’t believe that someone had discovered the message that she had written as a teenager back in the 1970s.
“I was very happy they discovered it. I was around 14 or 15 – I vaguely remember writing it. I knew the bedroom was going to be decorated and I thought, you either do something or you don’t,” Eileen said.
“I was thinking about time and time travel and how we are all connected and I thought, you know I’ll write a poem. I’m glad I did it. That was our bedroom and we shared the bedroom so it was sort of magical in that way.”
