   Many people believed that he had travelled through time. In 2000 a researcher decided to try to get to the bottom of this unusual story. His research revealed that the story was actually fictional. It turned out that its source was a story called I’m Scared by the famous science-fiction writer Jack Finney. Although no copies of the original story were ever found, the researcher claimed that it was originally published in September 1951. It seemed that he had finally solved the mystery. Or so everyone thought. In 2007 another researcher found a newspaper story about the incident from April 1951. Amazingly, this newspaper was printed almost five months before the short story I’m Scared. As a result of this discovery, some people have developed a theory that Jack Finney’s fictional story was based on a true story that he had read about in the newspaper. Yet, since Finney died in 1995 and he was never questioned about this, we will never know.
