In July 1996, in Liverpools Bold Street, an off duty Merseyside Policeman inadvertently travelled back in time.
While shopping with his wife in the city centre, one Saturday afternoon, Frank and his wife split up to buy from different shops, Carol his wife went to Dillons Bookshop, while Frank went to a local record store.
A small 1950s box van crossed in front of Frank, honking his horn in its progress. The vans livery stated it was from Capland He looked down to his feet, and realised he was stood in the middle of the road
Frank crossed the road and saw that 'Dillons Book Store' now had 'Cripps' over its entrances and moreover, the shop was selling womens handbags and shoes rather than books
Looking around the street, Frank realised that the people he could see were dressed in the fashions from the 1940s but strangely a young woman in her 20s walked past him with a popular brand named handbag. This reassured him that he was partially in 1996; he smiled at the girl as she walked past and entered Cripps.
As he followed her into the store, the interior of the building changed in a flash to that of Dillon�s Bookshop in 1996. Frank questioned the young woman who had entered with him into �Cripps�, she confirmed that she too thought the shop was a clothes shop rather than a bookshop.
It has been recently proved that 'Cripps' and 'Caplan's' were actual businesses based in Liverpool during the 1950's, whether they were based in the locations specified in the story has not been confirmed.
Franks sighting offers numerous questions, if indeed it is true. Did the box van driver see Frank as a ghost something wearing strange clothing while standing in the middle of the street? Did other shoppers see him acting strange outside the Cripps store in the 1950? If he did appear, we have no record of anybody reporting such a sighting, which is a shame considering the implications if there were witnesses.
Time Slips can occur on two different levels, one being the possible reincarnation of that person, who recognises the surroundings they are visiting in this life. Another is when the slip is triggered by the witness, whether they blank their mind at a precise moment and the slip occurs, or the witness touches something that holds the memory of a previous time. Time Slips seem to have happened for many years, and viewing Franks story they will continue for many more.
