Time Slips and Conspiracies You Should Know
Since I’m the only person on my team still attempting to write “professional” blogs, I decided to give it up and write about my podcast Time Slipped instead.
I didn’t set out to start a “conspiracy” podcast. I’ve just always loved anything involving time travel, glitches in the matrix, déjà vu — anything that makes you question whether reality is as stable as we assume. I couldn’t find a podcast that focused only on that niche. So I made one.
Time Slipped lives at the intersection of documented history, speculative science, government secrecy, and human psychology. Some cases are folklore. Some are declassified. Some are just deeply unsettling.
There are already 25 episodes in the archive. Here are the Top 5, according to listeners:
The Trump Conspiracy
In 1890, an author wrote a novel about a wealthy boy named Baron Trump. His mentor was a man named Don, and he lived in “Castle Trump.” A later book in the same series references political unrest in New York.
Over a century later, people noticed. And then they did what people do: connected dots. Screenshotted passages. Built threads. Declared timelines suspect.
Is it coincidence? Probably. Are we very good at retrofitting meaning once we know the ending? Absolutely.
And yet — some parallels feel just a little too clean.
The Philadelphia Experiment
During World War II, rumors circulated that the U.S. Navy was experimenting with electromagnetic invisibility. In 1943, they tested it on a naval destroyer called the USS Eldridge.
The ship reportedly disappeared from Philadelphia Harbor, reappeared in Norfolk, Virginia, and then returned. When it came back, the crew was allegedly fused into the metal of the hull.
It’s one of the most infamous military conspiracies of the 20th century, and yet there’s no verified evidence it ever happened.
The Vatican’s Time Machine
According to a former priest, the Vatican once possessed a device called the Chronovisor — a machine that could view past events as if they were live broadcasts.
The alleged witnesses? Respected scientists. High-ranking church officials.
No device has ever been produced. No documentation has been verified.
Still, the story persists.
Which raises a question: if you could record history — every conversation, every event — would you make it public? Or would you curate it?
The Premonitions Bureau
In the 1960s, a psychiatrist in London created a project to collect predictions from people who claimed they could foresee disasters.
Plane crashes. Assassinations. Structural collapses.
Some of the predictions appeared to precede real events.
Which sounds dramatic — until you consider probability, volume, and the human tendency to remember the hits and forget the misses.
So, was it coincidence? Pattern recognition? Statistical inevitability? Or something else entirely?
Project Pegasus
In the 1970s, a man named Andrew Basiago claimed he participated in a classified U.S. government program involving teleportation, time travel — and, at one point, a young Barack Obama.
According to Basiago, “Project Pegasus” was a DARPA-linked initiative focused on time travel research. He claimed children were recruited as test subjects on the belief that younger minds were more adaptable — and more resilient to the psychological strain of the experience.
The Pattern Beneath the Story
You don’t have to believe any of these stories. That’s not the point.
What fascinates me — and what Time Slipped explores — is why certain narratives persist. Why some stories collapse under scrutiny, while others embed themselves into cultural memory.
If you want to explore the archives, Time Slipped is available wherever you listen to podcasts, including Spotify and YouTube.
Just don’t blame me if reality starts to feel a little less settled.
