I feel like I want to disappear into conspiracy theories on the internet. Can anyone suggest some please?
Some of my top faves are:
Finland doesn't exist
700-950 ad never happened
That big American airport with creepy murals
Titanic didn't sink

Checking in as I need the distraction.
Mine are all very tragic situations with no defining explanations....
Obvious one mumsnet doesn’t like us naming
The Casey Anthony case what happened to her daughter during that missing month
Amy Lynne Bradley - I have lost hours reading about this case her poor family
The disappearance of the Beaumont children is so desperately sad

BirthdayBlueBo · 31/08/2018 20:55

Mine are more mysteries than conspiracy theories so might not fit the bill op

KindergartenKop · 31/08/2018 21:13

Those are interesting, but sad, thanks.

I’ve only just heard about the Finland one. Great stuff. Will look up the American airport sounds interesting.

Petalflowers · 31/08/2018 21:16

What’s 700-950ad?

I’mmgoimg To,have to,google,the others as well.

KindergartenKop · 31/08/2018 21:16

It's about the dark ages never having actually happened, there's a lack of evidence apparently.

Aah, so AD as in The year, and not ad as in advert.

Oooo I love a good conspiracy theory!! The ones I know are 9/11 being planned and the moon landing being staged.

Can anyone tell me some good conspiracy theories? Time isn't my friend at the moment so not able to have a good rummage through Google.

KindergartenKop · 31/08/2018 21:22

Sorry, yes!

9/11 being an inside job, moon Landing was a hoax, illuminati controlling everything is the BIGGEST ONE

IamPickleRick · 31/08/2018 21:28

Two people have mentioned to me this week that the Roman wall in London is too pristine and made of modern brick work... so it must be fake. This then lead to my DM being adamant that the dark ages didn’t exist. So that’s come up independently.

What’s the one MN doesn’t speak of? Confused

Petalflowers · 31/08/2018 21:32

I think it’s to,do with a certain girl,disappearing from a hotel room...

24Juniper · 31/08/2018 21:33

What about the girl in an American hotel who went missing and her body was found in the water tank after guests complained about the water? The news story said she had come off her medication and may have had a psychotic episode but the conspiracy theorists say she was playing the elevator game. They still don't know how she managed to get up on the roof and into the water tank. The CCTV footage is weird and when you google the elevator game is pretty creepy!

IamPickleRick · 31/08/2018 21:33

I’m lost, man. Can someone pm me 😂

Gammeldragz · 31/08/2018 21:34

The suicide guy in a suitcase. I mean, come on!
911 ones are very convincing.
My stepfather reckons he met Lord Lucan while travelling.
Some elite group controlling the world, illumiati or otherwise.
The government knows about aliens. Also loads of other things they don't tell us.

I love a conspiracy theory.

Nutkins24 · 31/08/2018 21:34

I’m struggling to understand the dark ages one. Does it just state that the Romans were around longer than we thought? IamPickleRick the one who mustn’t be mentioned is the McCanns I think.

KindergartenKop · 31/08/2018 21:38

The dark ages one is just that there was less time between the Romans leaving and the Norman's coming than most people think. So our whole calendar is about 200 years ahead of where it should be.

All of that "cctv" footage and guff abut the lift and hotel was created to promote a hollywood film called "Dark Water".

sirlee66 · 31/08/2018 21:39

Why doesn't MN like us talking about MM?

KindergartenKop · 31/08/2018 21:40

The suicide guy in the suitcase is creepy. I remember watching it on the news when he was discovered. My mum claimed a propos of nothing that William Hague had something to do with it (he was foreign sec at the time).

Oh another one - Elvis, Tupac and Micheal Jackson are all still alive and live on a remote desert island.

divafever99 · 31/08/2018 21:41

Just had to google the Finland one, never heard of it!

ProudThrilledHappy · 31/08/2018 21:42

Woody Harrelson’s father killed JFK is my favourite

Stephen Hawking died before he wrote "A Brief History of Time"

What's the American airport with creepy murals? I want to look that one up!
