Granger Taylor's Cosmic Voyage: Did He Really Leave Earth?

on

Picture this: A young guy, barely out of middle school, a total whiz with anything mechanical. He's not your average kid, not even close. We're talking about Granger Taylor, a dude from Duncan, British Columbia, who could bring junker cars and ancient bulldozers back to life like it was magic. But Granger’s story isn’t just about gears and grease—it’s a chilling tale of obsession and a mystery that still haunts the town of Duncan.

Granger dropped out of school early, but don’t let that fool you. He wasn’t just some kid who couldn’t hack it. He was a genius, plain and simple. His parents’ property quickly turned into a quirky junkyard of vintage cars and engine parts. But amidst the clutter, he created masterpieces. We’re talking about restoring an old steam locomotive, building a one-cylinder car that ended up in a museum and even crafting a replica World War II fighter plane that someone bought for a small fortune. This guy was seriously talented.

Then, things took a turn. In the late 70s, Granger’s focus shifted. Earthly vehicles? Boring. He became obsessed with UFOs. Books on aliens and flying saucers consumed him. He spent days locked away in his DIY spaceship—a strange dome made from two satellite dishes, complete with a TV, couch and a wood stove. I can just imagine the flickering light inside, the scent of wood smoke and Granger's intense focus as he dove deeper into the world of extraterrestrials.

His friend Bob Nielson tells a story that sends shivers down your spine. In October 1980, Granger claimed he received messages from aliens while in his makeshift spaceship. He couldn’t see them, but they were talking to him, right into his mind. He asked them how their ships worked, but they wouldn't tell him. Instead, they offered him a trip through the solar system. And, chillingly, Granger accepted.

A month later, he left a note. Just tacked it to his dad’s bedroom door. It read: “Dear Mother and Father, I have gone away to walk aboard an alien ship, as recurring dreams assured a forty-two-month interstellar voyage to explore the vast universe, then return. I am leaving behind all my possessions to you as I will no longer require the use of any.” Imagine being Granger's parents, reading those words. The sheer dread and confusion. The night he left, a brutal storm raged. Hurricane winds, downed power lines, the whole town plunged into darkness. It was like something out of a movie. When morning came, Granger and his pink pickup truck were gone. Vanished. Six years later, they found the truck, or what was left of it, blown to pieces on a mountain. But Granger? He was never found. It's like he just...disappeared into thin air, or perhaps, into the stars.

What really happened to Granger Taylor? Was he abducted? Did he really go on an interstellar voyage? Or was there a more earthly, tragic explanation? The mystery remains. It's a story that makes you look up at the night sky and wonder. It makes you think about what else is out there, just beyond our understanding. And it makes you consider the depths of human curiosity and obsession.
