Evidence of "time travel"? aka Time Slips

Eric Wargo has a new article where he goes over the Australian Hanging Rock incident (made into a classic movie in 1975) and shares his speculations about this type of phenomena:

As readers of this blog know, I think misrecognized precognition is behind many paranormal experiences. In cases of “time slips,” for instance, there is typically a striking learning experience about the traversed landscape in the individual’s near future, and it typically matches the vision, whether or not it really matches historical reality. Lindsay’s vision was not of nuns going about their daily activities or doing any of the ordinary things nuns might have done in their lives, but of fleeing from something, and this acts as a “tracer” pointing directly to the story told by her mother-in-law later the same day. In other words, Lindsay’s vision was likely a premonition of a mental image formed upon hearing that exciting, entropic story, not a slip into the past. I suggest that “psychics” may often be people who tend more readily than others to map such future mental images onto their present sensory experience, almost like a kind of augmented-reality app. (One wonders how much of what gets diagnosed as psychosis is really precognition unrecognized.)

And as I argue in my book Time Loops (coming soon from Anomalist Books), precognition is also the source of creative genius: Writers and artists are drawing on upheavals in their own futures, and this is particularly visible with visionary and genre writers—or those who barely manage to escape a genre pigeonhole through clever reframing or, in Lindsay’s case, editorial bowdlerization. Their lives and works often show evidence of bizarre causal tautologies or self-fulfilling prophecies. Lindsay, I believe, belongs to the club of highly precognitive writers, and her novel lends itself to a kind of precognitive rereading.

Consider: Picnic at Hanging Rock stages a traumatic disappearance—a group of schoolgirls go on a picnic and come back minus three, and minus one math teacher—and then describes the ripple effects of that disappearance. While there was no actual disappearance of schoolgirls at Hanging Rock either around the turn of the century or in the 19-teens when Lindsay attended Clyde School, there was a traumatic disappearance in Lindsay’s near future when she wrote her manuscript: none other than the cutting of her final chapter, with its beauty and strangeness and its mathematical-physical musings.

Summary of the incident:

Thanks. I'm not sure about the speculations, but the background information about the novel and the missing final chapter is very interesting. Also, I shall never be able to look at Rodin's statue of Balzac in the same way again.

Picnic at Hanging Rock - episode 1 of 6 this Wednesday evening on BBC2.

Luckily there's nothing else of interest on TV that evening.

A gripping reimagining of Joan Lindsay's iconic Australian novel that delves into the mysterious disappearances of three schoolgirls and their governess on Valentine's Day, 1900.

Time Travel Stories: Strange Missions Into the Past

There's an interesting article by Robert Charman in the new issue of the SPR Journal about Victor Goddard's purportedly precognitive vision of Gullane/Drem airfield near Edinburgh in 1935. Goddard had visited the redundant airfield the day before and described the hangars as nearing dereliction, but when he saw it from the air the hangars appeared to have been reroofed and there were aeroplanes on the ground, including an unfamiliar monoplane - the colour of planes and the men's overalls were different from those in use in the RAF at that time. Goddard later came to believe that he had had a vision of the airfield as it would be in 1939, after it was brought back into service.

I think Charman provides a plausible enough conventional explanation for all this, but I'm not entirely convinced by his argument that Goddard had seen another airfield, not Gullane, the previous day. Perhaps his memory was playing tricks about the decrepitude of the place, but the aerial photographs from 1935 referred to in the article do seem to be consistent with the main features of his description - the airfield fenced off into smaller pastures and the layout of the hangars - three pairs and one single. I'm not sure the roofs are actually "falling in" as he remembered, but they don't look in particularly good condition. The aerial photographs are available on the "Britain From Above" site. This is probably the clearest (free account needed to zoom in):

Here are a couple of interesting videos from the "Paranormal Scholar" account on YouTube, each dealing with five purported cases of time slips. They seem reasonably factually accurate and fairly balanced, though obviously there's not much detail, as only around five minutes are available for each case. They include well known cases such as the Kersey, Victor Goddard and Petit Trianon ones, as well as a couple I hadn't read about before.

(Don't be put off by the silly misleading images - these are proper stories of apparent time slips, not claims about purported anomalies discovered in old photos!)

Much as I should like to believe in timeslips, I suspect most of them are essentially down to tricks of memory.

I'd have to agree with this. That said, I did enjoy the two videos you shared. The #3 entry in the "Extraordinary" video happened in my home state.
