The post I meant to release first, based off correspondence from September with a self-proclaimed time traveler, still needs some work. In place of that, I have decided to begin releasing another series I have been working on which features information and accounts from readers claiming to have encountered the time travelers.

In this first on, we’ll be discussing the roommate of a local named Clooney. Clooney reported in an email to me that his assigned roommate, Ben Davis, appears to be one of the time travelers. Here is a list of his behaviors pointing to this conclusion:

1. Claims to have grown up in Winona but at age 20 does not know where things are.
2. Wears archaic suits exclusively for the first weeks Clooney knew him.
3.  Obsessively researches the history and culture of the time period between the 1960s and the present day.

 

Moreover, and most interesting of all, Clooney found someone matching the interests and name of his roommate in a newspaper article – from 1960.

Has anyone else interacted with Ben Davis?

What do you think of his behavior? Is he a time traveler?

Leave your comments below!

I don’t want to clutter the blog too much with notices that “content is definitely coming” but I’m pretty excited for a couple of leads that are happening. I have an interview going on with one of the “time-travelers” through email, and a couple of communications in progress with some other folks directly interacting with two other accused “time-travelers”.

I should have at least one of these up by the end of the week…

I didn’t receive anything new over the weekend and I’m still feeling kinda sick so I haven’t hunted up anything myself.

I think I have a couple leads this morning though, so hopefully I can bring you guys more soon.

I found an article recently published online in the Winona Post which possibly explains some of the costumed people:

I share this here because I want to be totally clear that I’m not insisting absolutely everything I’ve posted or said here is 100% infallible.

But even something like this does not change the emails I have been getting from people noting that often these people have strange behaviors that only the most method of method actors would be adhering to.

Furthermore, images like this one found on Google Maps from here in Winona wouldn’t have occurred during the shooting for something like the above.

Alright. I don’t know what I did with the rest of them, but here’s the Twitter posts I still have that I found or you guys submitted to the blog about experiences with potential time travelers here in Winona.

Seems like people started seeing them around in the middle of September and have been posting more about it since the beginning of October?

I know there’s probably gotta be info going around about this on like Facebook or Instagram or whatever, but I don’t even use Twitter really so. If anyone reading this can help direct me to more information from other sources, please send me an email!

Sorry, work and illness kept me out of it.

Posting this afternoon or tonight, promise.

I know Facebook’s a lot more popular for people posting stuff that happens to them, so I thought I’d make a page for the blog… really would rather catalog info here though. It’s more so it’s easier for people to send info to the blog. It’s hard to find it all myself.

Should I make one for Twitter or something too?

Please just send me the stuff as you see it…

If you’re being directed here from the old blog, hold tight.

I’m going to reorganize everything before dumping what I’ve found so far here.

It should be done by next weekend. Sorry, work’s got me really beat lately.

Please keep sending in any posts, photos, evidence, whatever that you find. I’m checking the blog email daily.
