If you've turned on the internet, checked your instagram or logged in to Facebook in the last few months, you will have seen a conspiracy theory somewhere. And, guess what? There's every chance that conspiracy came from a dark part of the internet called QAnon. 

So, who is QAnon? Is it a person? An organisation? Or a church, as some are now starting to believe? 

The Quicky investigates with the helping hand of Alex Goldman from Reply All.
