S2 Ep14: The Elephant Slides of Sofia

April 14, 2026·39 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In tonight’s dead letter, we’ll take you through the brutalist monuments and ancient layers of Sofia, Bulgaria looking for what may have been the scene of a localized timeslip. After giving up the search for a playground that made a pronounced childhood impression, our listener Vili, stumbles right into a beautifully preserved version of it. We’ll discuss the folklore of missing time, and how our own memories might just be powerful enough to physically manifest things we wish to recover that don’t exist anymore.REFERENCE LINKSNational Palace of Culture (NDK) in SofiaSamodiva - Bulgarian Woodland SpiritsThe Moberly–Jourdain Incident (Versailles Time Slip)Ed Debevic's Retro DinerAlpine Gardens (Alpinarium)The Ghosts of Versailles Part 1 (Astonishing Legends)We're looking for more stories!
