The Mandela Effect

While browsing the internet for hours trying to find an abnormal conspiracy theory to write about this week, I thought about one that I had discovered over the summer. This conspiracy theory is the BIGGEST one of them all: The Mandela Effect. According to Fiona Broome, this is what happens when someone has a clear memory of something that never happened in this reality. Many people - mostly total strangers - remember the EXACT same events with the EXACT details. However, our memories are different from what’s in history books, newspapers, and so on. How does this happen? Well, some people speculate that parallel realities exist, and the population has been going between realities without even realizing it.
There are over 20 different examples of the Mandela Effect, some are more bone chilling than others, but they will all make you cringe a little. One of the most famous examples is in the childhood Disney movie “Snow White”. In the famous scene where the Queen is talking to the Magic Mirror she’s quoted to have said, “Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?”, but if you grab an VHS tape, DVD, or even a book, the quote is actually “Magic Mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest one of all?” Scary right? That’s only the beginning! The TV show called “Sex and the City”, but many people insist they remember it being “Sex in the City” at some point. Some people even posted pictures that supports their false memory. One of the most popular Mandela effects debates, in which some people seem to recall the books and the cartoon about a family of bears being known as “The Berenstein Bears”. However, if you look at the books and movies they’re actually called “The Berenstain Bears.” Another example is Wite-Out. Some remember it as White-Out. I believe I remember it at White-Out. The list of examples go on and on! Another yet famous movie line that is often debated about is in the movie Star Wars. Children and grownups often run around saying “Luke, I am your father!”, but this is very wrong. The correct line says, “No, I am your father.” So I’ve basically grown up living a lie. The Mandela Effect will forever have me questioning every little detail about the world. I highly encourage you to do research on this subject. It will blow your mind!!

  2. I've never heard of the Mandela Effect, that's weird they all know the exact same details.
