EPISODE 64 | Accidental Tourists: Interdimensional Travellers
Sometimes the fabric of our world thins out, and people slip through - either from another dimension or into one. So some people think, while others claim it happened to them. Come along on a trip through different times and places, visiting 12th century England, 19th century Germany, Spain, Japan, Moromon mythology and, of course, the United States, including Ong's Hat, New Jersey - site of the very first internet conspiracy theory.
