It’s time to revisit one of the most famous ghost towns in the country and in my opinion, the creepiest.
Ong’s Hat, New Jersey.
It’s the kind of town that you’ve seen portrayed in movies but you may not have ever experienced in real life. Actually, “town” is a misnomer because it’s actually just a small area; a clearing on Magnolia Road where routes 70 and 72 intersect in Pemberton.

Ong’s Hat” is a fictional conspiracy theory narrative about a group of Princeton scientists who, through experiments in a New Jersey forest called “Ong’s Hat,” accidentally discovered a way to travel to a parallel dimension using a device called “The Egg,” and then covered up their findings to prevent public knowledge of this interdimensional travel ability.
Did a secret group of scientists in Ong’s Hat, New Jersey, discover a portal to another dimension? According to legend, a group of renegade physicists and mystics at a hidden facility developed a device called the “Egg”, which allowed them to shift into parallel realities. But was this just an elaborate hoax, or did they stumble upon something far more profound—something the government didn’t want the world to know?
The Ong’s Hat has fascinated paranormal enthusiasts, scientists, and skeptics alike for decades. Some claim it’s one of the oldest internet mysteries, while others insist it’s based on real classified experiments. Could this be evidence of multiverse travel, hidden government projects, or something even more mysterious?

Introduction to Ong’s Hat: COMPLEAT
Ong’s Hat: COMPLEAT is a multi-layered work designed to be experienced in various ways, depending on the experiencer’s preferences and level of engagement.
Structure and Components
The work consists of three main elements:
Original Notes: A PDF or EPUB document containing the author’s initial draft, providing background information and links for further research.
Audio Conversations: Chapter-by-chapter discussions between Joseph Matheny and Sequoyah Kennedy, exploring the material in depth.
Transcripts: Written versions of the audio conversations allow readers to listen to or read the discussions. (Coming in print version later this year)
Suggested Approach
While readers are encouraged to engage with the content in any order they prefer, the author recommends the following sequence:
Read the original notes (PDF or EPUB)
Listen to the audio conversation or read the transcript for each chapter
This approach allows readers to first gain a foundational understanding through the notes and then delve deeper into the material through the conversations.
Author’s Note
The current format of Ong’s Hat: COMPLEAT evolved from an initial draft created a year prior. After careful consideration, we decided to present the work in its current, multi-format structure rather than as a traditional book.
Readers are invited to explore and enjoy the work in whatever order suits them best.
I think the interview is a new art form. – Jim Morrison
Initially conceived as a traditional book, this project has evolved into a multifaceted, interdisciplinary work that better reflects the complex ideas it contains. The transformation from a standard book format to a more dynamic, digital-age presentation was necessary to fully capture the essence of the concepts explored.
Project Overview
Ong’s Hat: COMPLEAT is a comprehensive exploration of key periods in the author’s life. It focuses on developing the Ong’s Hat hyper sigil and interactions with various disembodied intelligences. The project is a collaboration between the author and Sequoyah Kennedy, co-host and producer of the Nonsense Bazaar podcast.
Format and Content
The project consists of several components:
Audiobook: A multi-chapter series of conversations between the author and Sequoyah Kennedy, totaling over 14 hours of content.
Digital Documents: Fully linked and notated documents containing the original notes used in the conversations, comprising over 28,000 words.
Print Version: Transcriptions of the conversations, including notes, endnotes, and URLs for reference. (Coming later in 2025)
Visual Elements: Relevant photos, diagrams, and copies of pertinent documents.
Audio Production
The audiobook features music, sounds, and atmosphere created by Polypores (Stephen James Buckley), a multi-talented artist. Polypores’ work can be found on various platforms:
This interdisciplinary work can be viewed as a comprehensive scrapbook covering a specific project, its development period, and the people, places, and things connected to it. The extensive audio content and detailed notes provide the audience a rich, immersive experience.
Summation
This narrative unveils the previously undisclosed origins of Ong’s Hat, the Infinite Game, and the Proto-Alternate Reality Game (ARG). It’s a tale that intertwines early AI, paranormal encounters, emergent phenomena, and the nascent Internet culture of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The story is a rich tapestry woven from diverse cultural threads:
Psychedelic and avant-garde art movements
Punk rock and industrial music scenes
Experimental theater and method acting
Hermetic magick and beat literature
The Esalen Institute’s influence
Philip K. Dick’s literary works
This narrative is a modern spiritual quest, blending these eclectic elements into a compelling journey.
Dive into the chilling legend of Ong’s Hat, a mysterious ghost town hidden in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. From rogue scientists and secret experiments to eerie disappearances, this story blurs the line between reality and the otherworldly. Is it an abandoned experiment gone wrong, or a doorway to another dimension? Watch as we unravel the enigma that has captivated thrill-seekers and conspiracy theorists for decades.
Dějištěm tohoto příběhu je město duchů Ong’s Hat, pouhá skvrna na mapě a jedna z mnoha opuštěných starých vesnic rozesetých po odlehlých borových hájích v americkém státě New Jersey. Městečko údajně získalo své jméno od muže jménem Ong, který kdysi ze zklamání odhodil svůj luxusní hedvábný klobouk, když na něj žárlivý milenec ženy, s níž měl poměr, dupl, načež se zasekl na větvi borovice, a údajně začínalo jako jediná chýše. Do 60. let 19. století se prý vesnice rozrostla v poměrně živé městečko známé pašováním a dodávkami alkoholu do vzdálených oblastí. V následujících letech však město dramaticky upadalo a ve 30. letech 20. století bylo téměř opuštěné, i když se stále objevovalo na mapách; v dnešní době jsou z něj jen divoké, plevelem zarostlé ruiny, rozpadající se budovy a prázdné pozemky.
Although it is almost certainly nothing more than an urban legend – perhaps one of the first to be propelled to the masses during the Internet era – the legends and conspiracies of Ong’s Hat are, to some, a case of fact being hidden in plain sight as a work of fiction. While some people dismiss the claims unreservedly, others insist if they are not fully accurate, they are so partially, and given some of the conspiracies from yesteryear that have since turned out to be more accurate than many might have thought, they could very well be right.
The conspiracies swirling around the abandoned town of Ong’s Hat are a bizarre blend of cult-like societies, advanced research and technology into the paranormal, and secret government operations carried out right the collective nose of the American public. Indeed, they sound more akin to a science-fiction horror movie where the truth might turn out to be much stranger than fiction.
The location in question—Ong’s Hat—is in the Pine Barrens region of New Jersey, a ghost town on Magnolia Road in Pemberton Township, Burlington County. While some might doubt the specifics of the conspiracies surrounding Ong’s Hat, the Pine Barrens region is undoubtedly one of the strangest locations in the state. It is awash with UFO sightings, claims of alien abduction, and other paranormal mysteries, including, incidentally, alleged portals and gateways to other worlds.
