Tweet It is recorded that Professor Rolleston discovered the Time Travel Diaries in the attic of Elizabeth Bicester’s house at Hamgreen. He is a shadowy figure who appears briefly now and then to guide the Time Travellers through their journeys. He is thought to be guardian of the diaries. And has an intimate knowledge of the activities of the Martians and their portals which connect Mars to Earth. He had spent much of his life collecting the myths and legends of the fairy folk of Britain. And it was possibly this that led to his interest in the Martians, who were, in many ways, fa ..read more

Tweet My original intention was to write a story by someone in the distant future who finds two diaries locked together in an old box. One written by a James Urquhart from 2015 and the other by an Elizabeth Bicester, a Victorian lady of means.

A lot of strange things have been attached to Nikola Tesla on the internet including time travel and communications with Mars. The most famous is in a New York Herald in March 1895 Tesla, while conducting an experiment, was nearly electrocuted and had an “Out of time” experience where he could see a little way into the future and the past. A New York Herald reporter wrote on March 13 that he came across the inventor in a small café, shortly afterwards, looking shaken after being hit by 3.5 million volts, “I am afraid,” said Tesla, “that you won’t find me a pleasant companion tonight. The fact ..read more
