Time Travel - John Titor story? [View all]

Just listening to some back episodes of Coast 2 Coast about John Titor, the time traveler from 2036. The story is practically impossible to debunk because of how he describes time travel, and you would think if it was a hoax he would have reappeared at some point to continue the joke. Any other semi-reputable time travel stories out there? Would love to discuss.
