Celebration Florida lives close to Disney World and with good reason. The town with a current population of 7,427 was started being developed in 1996 by The Walt Disney Company itself. It is not some Disney themed town, in fact, Disney is now mostly “hands-off”. But in 2000 and 2001 a man named calling himself John Titor started posting from this small town in Florida. John claimed to be a time traveler from the year 2036 sent back with a very important mission to save his world line.’’WikiPedia article about Celebration, FloridaWikiPedia article about John Titortimetravel.institute/topic/830-topics-limited-to-11-pages/YouTube video (XbwH8r4VD8w)YouTube video (WfSqg3KsIgM)youtu.be/YJYFlI4ytbUYouTube video (WfSqg3KsIgM)johntitorfoundation.comjohntitor.comstitcher.com/podcast/project-archivist-project-archivist-podcast/e/50956440?autoplay=trueWho Authored the John Titor Legend?, by Mike Sauve Self Published ( © 2016). amazon.com/gp/product/1537400835/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Conviction of a Time Traveler, by Temporal Recon (Anonymous) Self Published ( © 2010) amazon.com/Conviction-Time-Traveler-Temporal-Recon-ebook/dp/B00QZLSO0G/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1598071499&sr=8-1Ong’s Hat WAS a place set deep in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. The 17th-century town was more of an outpost with just a few buildings. It was known as a rowdy place. The town got its name from a man named Jacob Ong who after a fight with a woman threw his beloved hat up in the air. It become stuck in a tree and he never retrieved it. But Ong’s Hat may have served a different purpose in more modern times, it may have been a place where fringe scientists and cultist gathered to travel into other dimensions.gizmodo.com/ongs-hat-the-early-internet-conspiracy-game-that-got-t-1832229488 ia800906.us.archive.org/3/items/incunabula_originals/original.pdf archive.org/details/incunabula_originals/page/n1/mode/2up weirdnj.com/stories/ongs-hat/ jacobsm.com/deoxy/deoxy.org/inc.htm Ong’s Hat: The Beginning, by Joseph Matheny Wildcard ( © 1999, 2001) amazon.com/Ongs-Hat-Beginning-Joseph-Matheny-ebook/dp/B004SHEX9K/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1598071090&sr=8-1You can follow the show on Twitter or Facebook @stscast, or on Instagram@stscast.gramCheck out Patreon at, https://www.patreon.com/STScastThis week's featured podcast is Oddball Aussie Be sure to check out Straight Up Strange Productions for more great pods!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/Small-Town-Secrets.

Welcome back to It Gets Weird! In this episode, Nile and Kyle discuss a mystery that's been kicking around since the late 1980s: the secret of Ong's Hat, New Jersey. What even IS Ong's Hat? A charcuterie? Ye Olde Hat Shoppe? Ah, wait, says here in our notes it's a town. Turns out some shamans and mystics and chaos scientists got together to conduct some pretty zany experiments, things like transporting a bunch of people to an alternate dimension. Join us on this bizarre inter-dimensional tale!
On this edition of Parallax Views, a special, previously unpublished conversationwith Joseph Matheny, a pivotal fixture of the bohemian tech counterculture during the early days of the internet, who may offer a key to understanding the wild social media phenomenon of QAnon and the general hijacking of counterculture by right-wing and corporate forces. This should be of particular interest in light of the recent FBI memo pointing towards QAnon conspiracy theories presenting a potential domestic terror threat. Joseph Matheny is perhaps best known as a transmedia artist who pioneered the Alternate Reality Game (ARG) with the inter-based collaborative fiction Ong's Hat. An ARG is a type of game that uses the real world as platform and have been used in marketing campaign for Halo 2, the Lost TV series, and Nine Inch Nails' Year Zero album. The genre has flourished because of the internet and is particularly interesting in that it does not require the player realize that they are playing.The parallels between ARGs and the QAnon phenomenon are striking. In fact, due to the focus of conspiracy theories and arcane secret histories found in Ong's Hat, some have whispered that Matheny is having a bit of a laugh as the possible mastermind behind QAnon. Matheny adamantly denies this and I believe him when he says he's not involved in QAnon. However, both of us agree that QAnon, whether knowingly or otherwise, uses the mechanics of an ARG in a way that is quite eerie.In addition to discussing alternate reality games and things like Pizzagate and QAnon as "Dark ARGs" in the age of MAGA, Joseph Matheny and I more generally delve into how counterculture appears to have been hijacked, perhaps even weaponized, by corporate and right-wing elements.It's a fascinating episode that you're not going to want to miss!

Today we visit the vacant town of Ong’s Hat to learn what may have happened there when a group of chaos scientists took up residence. They we discuss one of the most requested conspiracies, and biggest mysteries to date: What is Eggless Travel? Ong’s Hat is an empty, unincorporated town in New Jersey. All that seems to remain is rubble and remnants of a town past. But there are rumors that, in the 1980s, a controversial group of scientists bought the town and used it to conduct experiments that were frowned upon by both the scientific community and the US government. One of those projects was the Egg. An interdimensional vehicle that would take a pilot to alien worlds. But with the scientists gone, is there now a way to travel without the Egg?
