About this listen
Episode 11 tells the mystery of Arthur Hemsley, a mapmaker who drew two towns in 1912 that didn't exist — until decades later, when real communities appeared exactly where he had placed them. After vanishing, his maps and journal surfaced, filled with locations not yet discovered and a final note dated in the future. Whether prescience, coincidence, or something stranger, his maps remain a haunting example of the world revealing itself before its time.
