20 Exceedingly Strange Conspiracy Theories

We already know there are people who believe the moon landing was a hoax. But did you know there are those who think Finland doesn’t exist? Or that Paul McCartney was replaced with a doppelgänger after meeting his untimely demise back in 1966? 

There’s a whole world of conspiracy theories out there, and when they’re not prompting people to storm the Capitol and topple American democracy, they can be kinda fun. Naturally, you can poke a hole in a conspiracy theory almost immediately, but it’s fun to suspend belief for just a minute and think, “What if JFK’s head really did do that on its own?” 

For their part, Redditors have shared a number of the outlandish conspiracy theories they’ve stumbled across over the years. The commenters all agree that they’re far-fetched, but maybe you’ll find one that suits you.

BitchyWitchy19 33d So this is a super odd one. I've heard most of the more common ones but this lady blew my mind. I am the lead teacher in the infant room at a daycare. There was a couple taking a tour of our facility for their upcoming baby (mom was still pregnant during this). So as they are standing in the room and I'm doing my usual spiel of what a day typically entails I mention that I have certain toys that are really helpful in identifying colors. Somehow I mentioned something about primary and secondary colors. Mom starts
IHeartPenguins0. 33d A former neighbor of mine claimed that there was a gold mine underneath the apartment building we lived in. She claimed that she saw miners going into secret entrances in the middle of the night, and the landlord was getting filthy rich without sharing anything with us. She couldn't explain how they shipped the gold out without anybody noticing, or how an apartment building could be built directly on top of a mine. She seemed sane enough before that conversation, so I was really surprised. ... Reply 1.2k

Megatron4Prez2024 . 33d That Disneyland sits on stolen land and the castle is a secret ICBM missile launching facility. I met a lady on a bus one time that told me her tale. You see her family used to own the land that Disneyland sits on back in the day. They didn't want to sell, but Disney used coercive tactics to get the land. Now she is the last survivor of her family and thus the lone claimant left alive that could seek justice in court!

BALLZ2BUTTHOLE 33d That Miley Cyrus' success was because of the death of Eric Clapton's son. The year that Billy Ray Cyrus had a MAJOR hit (Achy Breaky Heart) he was supposed to win 'Best of everything that year, like the song was EVERYWHERE. That same year Eric Clapton's releases his song 'Tears In Heaven about his son's tragic death. This moved people to vote for him to win everything that year.
