What is Johnspiracy?
Johnspiracy is an archive. A collection of case files, observations, and documented anomalies from the woods of eastern Tennessee.
At its center is John Diefenbach—a man who left conventional life behind to live off-grid in a small cabin surrounded by forest. What started as a search for peace became something else entirely when he started noticing things. Patterns in the static. Rhythms in the silence. Signals that shouldn't exist.
"I came out here to get away from the noise. Instead, I found a different kind of noise—one that most people never hear because they're not listening."
The Case Files
Each post here is a case file—John's documentation of something unexplained. Strange radio signals on impossible frequencies. Magnetic anomalies that appear overnight. Patterns in animal behavior that suggest something has changed in these woods.
John isn't interested in wild theories or accusations. He documents what he observes. He asks questions. And increasingly, he's finding that the answers point toward something deliberate happening in the mountains around him.
The Community
You're not just a reader here—you're part of the investigation. Comment on case files, share your own observations, and help connect the dots that John might miss. Sometimes an outside perspective sees what's right in front of us.
No accounts required. Pick a name, join the conversation. The only rule: stay curious, and don't dismiss anything too quickly.
The Practical Side of Disappearing
Living off-grid doesn't mean living without money.
John doesn't trust institutions, long-term contracts, or systems that require him to stay visible. But even a cabin in the woods needs fuel, supplies, and the occasional trip into town.
When John needs cash, he keeps it simple. Short stints. No bosses. No schedule. No commitment.
Sometimes that means taking deliveries under a temporary name, driving unfamiliar roads, and staying just anonymous enough to avoid patterns. He likes work that doesn't ask questions—and doesn't leave much behind.
It's not a career. It's a tool. One more way to stay independent while keeping the investigation going.
"You don't need to trust the system. You just need to know how to use it without letting it use you."
— John Diefenbach
Flexible work. No schedule. Stay independent.
A Note on Truth
John is a fictional character. Johnspiracy is a work of interactive fiction—a mystery told through the format of forum posts and community discussion. The signals, coordinates, and phenomena described are not real. You can learn more about John on his character profile.
But the best fiction makes us think. And sometimes, pretending that something might be real is the first step to paying attention to what actually is.
Patterns matter more than names.
