A family got a nostalgic surprise when they began redecorating their new home and found a message about time travel under the wallpaper dating back over four decades.
The Murphy family had started work on their daughter’s bedroom, stripping the wallpaper, when they stumbled upon the poem.
And after recognising the surname signed on the bottom of the message as that of the house’s previous owner, they managed to track down the author via social media, reports LancsLive.
“It was my daughter who first saw it. We were in my daughter's bedroom and started stripping the first layer of wallpaper when we found it,” explained dad Karl Murphy.
“We tried to make it out (the message) and I took a picture of it.”
The Murphy family moved into their new home in Lancashire earlier this year, in January, but only recently started to strip the walls of the original wallpaper that was left when they bought the property.
As they started to pull back the dated wallpaper in their daughter's room, they were surprised by a message written on the wall dating back to 1975.
It said: “I am here, you are there, separated by time alone. What’s it like in the future?
“Or am I the past? “The only answer to that - you are my future, I am your past.
“I wish you good day 1975 Eileen Walmsley.”
Having only moved to the area this year, Karl and family weren't sure if they'd be able to track down the author but were determined to try.
Luckily, they had a head start as they recognised the surname, which was the same as that of the previous owner of the property.
Karl decided to take a photo of the message and post the picture on Facebook in a bid to track Eileen down.
Not expecting much to come from the post, Karl was pleasantly surprised when he was contacted by a family friend who had recognised the Walmsley name.
“I thought I’ll put it on the chat and see if anybody knows her. Another lady came back to me and said ‘I know Eileen, I think she’s moved away, I’ll try and get in contact with her,” he said.
Not long after, Eileen herself, now named Eileen Palmer, got in touch with Karl to share her surprise that his family had discovered her message she wrote as a young teen.
And it turns out that being taken back to her childhood has been a real treat for Eileen.
Now aged 62, memories of Eileen’s childhood have been reignited, taking her back to the time when she wrote the message in the 70s.
“I was very happy they discovered it,” Eileen said. “I was around 14 or 15 - I vaguely remember writing it. I knew the bedroom was going to be decorated and I thought, you either do something or you don’t.
“I was thinking about time and time travel and how we are all connected, and I thought, you know I’ll write a poem.”
Eileen had moved into the house, aged four, with her brother and sister and her parents who worked in the local school.
The room where Karl discovered the message was the same bedroom where Eileen and her sister slept.

Since seeing the post, Eileen says it's brought back happy memories and it's been fantastic to see the renovations to the house that Karl and his family have carried out.
“Karl’s made such an amazingly beautiful job of it,” she said. “For me it was very sad when my parents died, we grew up in that house and had so many memories.
“It reminded me of my mood back then and that sort of romantic image I had of life and how life changes and how new generations come forward.
“I remembered who I was back then. That house is a fundamental part of my life and I’m really glad they saw it and glad it brought back so many memories for me.”
“I’m glad I did it - that was our bedroom, and we shared the bedroom so it was sort of magical in that way,” Eileen added.
When she turned 18, she moved to Brighton to go to university and since then, only ever came back to her childhood home in Accrington to visit occasionally.
Eileen’s parents Dorothy and Francis Walmsley lived in Accrington for over 60 years but after sadly losing her father in 2017 and her mother in 2018, it became harder for Eileen to visit her home without feeling upset.
