The Oxfordshire Murder
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
A chilling account of a man who saw a murder — weeks before it happened.
The eerie investigation: details he couldn’t have known, but got exactly right.
The unsettling theories — premonition, time slip, or something stranger.
A Murder Seen Before It Happened
In the early 1970s, a man walking a quiet countryside path near Oxfordshire witnessed something impossible:
Two men under an ancient oak tree
A weapon raised — iron, blunt, heavy
A single blow. Blood in the grass. A body collapsing.
And then — nothing.
No blood. No body. No one else in the field.
Weeks later, that exact murder unfolded — in the exact same place.
Who Was “John”?
The witness, a schoolteacher we’ll call John, wasn’t a mystic or thrill-seeker.
He lived quietly, walked the same paths each weekend, and trusted routine.
But one walk ended with a vision he couldn’t explain — and couldn’t forget.
So vivid he wrote it down. Sketched it. Tracked every detail.
And then saw it in the headlines weeks later.
The Headline That Changed Everything
The local paper: “Body Found in Oxfordshire Field.”
Cause of death: blunt force trauma to the head
Location: an oak tree on a rural footpath
Weapon: an iron bar
The police had kept those details from the public. But John had described them before the crime ever happened.
Theories: What Did He See?
Premonition — A psychic vision, delivered early.
Time Slip — A fold in time, placing him briefly in the wrong year.
Echo or Parallel Reality — A glimpse of the murder before it fully existed.
Catalyst — What if seeing it helped pull it into being?
Why This Story Endures
This isn’t a ghost sighting or folklore.
This is a police file. A real body. A real murder.
And a man who saw it weeks before it happened.
Maybe time isn’t just a line.
Maybe it loops, stutters… previews.
And sometimes the future doesn’t wait for its turn.
