Talk:The Disappearance of Ashley, Kansas/@comment-25083218-20140619231323

Brilliant story, especially in the light of those really weird fortean stories of the 1950's. Just a few historical details I'd like to add my thoughts about:

- there were transcripts made of the telephone recordings. Perhaps a short explanaton why this was done would heighten its 'authenticity'. Ashley was a very small town, as was nearby Hays. So why would that small town police have decided on making transcripts? And who did them? And how? Remember, this is 1952 technology, so did they put the phone on speaker, did they have a tape recorder (unlikely in that small town)?

- April Foster exclaims: "are you fucking listening to me?" That is strong wordage, commonly in use these days, but not in use in 1952 by a civilian towards a policeman? I'd choose a strong verbal expresion in use in that state in 1952.

Minor details. A very fine story.

Best regards.
