The first ARG, or “alternate reality game,” was Ong’s Hat, which started in 1993. The idea was that the absolutely abandoned New Jersey Pine Barrens town of Ong’s Hat was the site of a hippie cult of white jazz musicians known as “The Moorish Science Temple” who’s members included some theoretical physicists who created “cognitive chaos theory,” which they used to travel between dimensions.
One of the main architects of Ong’s Hat would later be one of the creators of the later overly complex online hoax, John Titor, Time Traveler.

Hello everyone. Originally, this post was supposed to be devoted to the year 1978, however something came up, and by something, I mean this 2.2 million-dollar, 5,420 sq ft 4 bed/4.5 bath house in Colt’s Neck, NJ.
You see, usually, when a listing goes viral, I’m content to simply retweet it with a pithy comment, but this house genuinely shook something in me, genuinely made me say “what the (expletive)” out loud. It is only fair to inflict this same suffering onto all of you, hence, without further ado:
Looks normal, right? Looks like the same low-brow New Jersey McMansion we’re all expecting, right? Oh, oh dear, you couldn’t be more wrong.
Guess who’s making a list and checking it twice?
Guess who’s gonna find out who’s naughty or nice?
Guess who’s coming to town?
Guess who’s coming to town to drag your ass into hell?
A gentle reminder that it is not yet Thanksgiving.
But oh. Oh. It continues:
If you’re wondering what’s happening here, you’re not alone, and sadly there is no convenient way to find out via a kind of haunted house hotline or something.
I can’t even label these rooms because frankly I’m not even sure what they are. All I am sure of is that I want out of them as soon as humanly possible.

How is it that a room can simultaneously threaten, frighten, and haunt me? Me, of all people!
My eyes do not know where to go here. They go to the window, they go to the fireplace, they go to the massive mound of fake plant and statuary currently gorging on the leftmost corner of the room, they go to my hands, which are shaking.
“Hello, I would like to get in touch with the Ministry of Vibes? Yes, I’ll hold.”
I haven’t been this afraid of a shower since I went to Girl Scout camp in the fifth grade and there was a brown recluse spider in the camp shower and I screamed until the counselor came in and told me it was only a wolf spider but it turns out those still bite you and it hurts.
I love watching Still Images on my Television Set :)
Nobody make a sound. He’s watching you.
i spy with my evil eye:

Their souls are trapped in these photographs forever :)
Okay, phew, we made it out alive. Here’s the back of the house I guess.
Well, I hope you’re as thoroughly disturbed as I am. Seriously, I’m going to have trouble sleeping. I mean, I already have trouble sleeping, but this is just making that existing problem so much worse.

ok heres this big long thing about that movie i mentioned earlier
ok. two rival pizzerias each run by a different family in verona
veronaNEW JERSEY, that is!
we start with a pizza-making montage and actually its fucking awesome
its to the tune of some rollicking good-feels half-acoustic pseudo-rock jam,
something about having a real nice time and throwing around the words “nothing at all” in a semi-soaring voice
yep just another jack johnson clone thats so awesome ok moving on
heres gina prestolani just graduated from art school in chicago i guess oh so fortuitously literally running into our male love interest joe who knocks all of her PHOTOGRAPHS out of her hands
they pick them up without even looking
what is this sorcerynot sure how they dont know each other theyve pretty much lived in this town all their lives it seems
gina returns home where her dad informs her that photographers dont make money
and if she pursues that particular passion she will never ever get married
all this with a wink in his eye and a playful tug on her cheek
ends with “you’ll make much more money being a teacher” which probably nobody has said ever
FORGET ABOUT ME SUSPENDING MY DISBELIEF, IT AINT GONNA HAPPEN NOW
