Stories of folk encountering people and places from the past are more common than you might first imagine, but what could cause this phenomenon? Is it related to ghosts, or is there a scientific theory to explain it all?
This week we look a paper which has a quantum theory for what is going on - but does it hold water? We will see...Great stories and hard-to-explain theories abound in this week's mind-bending episode.

That is a really good shout, made me think that the idea that fairy folk were tiny beings could also be connected to distortion of space as well as time. Interesting

…and re-appear again once they come out. Perhaps the stories about visiting the Fairy World in folk tales and literature are trying to describe time bubbles! Just a thought! Love your podcast, regards Lagopus Scoticus

Hi Ben and Peter, congrats on a fascinating episode! When you mentioned the vanishing francs I immediately thought of fairy money… this too would appear real but, once the person had left the fairy world, would vanish. Many depictions of people entering the Fairy Realm/ Land of the Fae also have similarities with the description of soliton-induced time bubbles in your episode: time runs differently when someone is in Fairy Land, it feels ‘strange’, and -from the outside- people ‘disappear’…
