True Story

The Mandela Effect

This Happened To Me

YOUTUBE

The first time I heard about the Mandela effect was on YouTube when I was watching videos. I came across a Mandela effect video, and when I watched it, I felt it was a little creepy and scary because everything hit home and I could completely relate to everything that was said.

I don’t know if I even watched all of it; as I said, it gave me the creeps. Maybe six months later, while I was on my usual tour of YouTube, I stumbled upon it again.

This time I watched all the way through at least four videos on the Mandella Effect.

WHAT IS THE MANDELA EFFECT?

In case you don’t know what the Mandela Effect is, it all started when Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was thought to have died twice.

In some people’s memories, the late president of South Africa died of a respiratory infection in 2013, but other people remember him dying decades earlier in prison, and some remember both.

This is how the Mandela effect theory began.

THINGS THAT HAVE CHANGED

People began to notice that other things were changing; other things were changing a lot, and these are just a few examples of things that have been thought to be changed. I say things that were thought to be changed because some people don’t think anything changed at all:

1. Muhammad Ali, and Fidel Castro are thought to have died twice as well.

2. The Jiffy peanut butter brand changed to Jif, but it was not changed by the company that makes it. It’s changed because some people remember it one way, and some say it was always the way it is now.

3. When a popular vampire movie came out on November 11, 1994, some people claim it was called Interview With A Vampire, but others claim it has always been called Interview With The Vampire as you will see if you look the movie up on the internet.

3. When the movie Forest Gump came out on July 6, 1994, one of the most popular phrases in the movie was “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.”

But now it is said that the phrase has changed to “Life was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.” Do you think it is really different or not?

4. There are many, many more instances where things have changed, including changes experienced by individual people, such as my own experience of the Mandela Effect.

POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS FOR THE MANDELA EFFECT

a. CERN-using intense energy that has ripped the fabric of reality, and something may be leaking in or out that creates a multiverse where there are countless universes or parallel universes. b. Satan c. Mind control d. Time travelers changed the past so the future would be different. e. False memories f. Deception of Biblical proportions. g. Illuminati h. Aliens i. The Freemasons j. Claims that there are numerous universes, and we are all in each one of them and are experiencing a different reality, such as; You dumping your boyfriend in one universe, and you marry the same boyfriend in another.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE MANDELA EFFECT

1. I had just cleaned and hosed out my guinea pig cage, dried it, and put blankets in it. Then I was on my computer for a while, and I looked behind me at the cage, and there was a toy block in it. I would not have put that block in it after I just cleaned the cage, and my grandson wasn’t there, so he couldn’t have done it.

2. I ordered a beautiful navy blouse with white poke-a-dots. It was so pretty. But somehow a very small part of the seam on the shoulder came out. So anyway, I decided I wanted to wear it to work, and I was just going to put a safety pin under the defective seam, but I could not find the undone seam on the blouse, not only that, but I found two blouses exactly like it.

3. The other thing that happened to me was that I was moving to a different apartment, and I brought some boxes of clothes from my old apartment into my new apartment.

I had forgotten to bring hangers for the clothes, so I threw them on top of each other on the rug in my bedroom, trying not to wrinkle them too much. I probably had at least 20 blouses. My plan was to return again with hangers and hang them all up the next day.

So the next day I brought hangers and went into my bedroom to hang up my clothes, and there were no clothes on the floor to hang up. The clothes were not in my closets either.

So now I am freaking out. I called the landlord and told her someone broke into my apartment.

She said she didn’t know how that could be because they had just changed the locks on the door of my apartment, so I paid for them to change it again.

By the time I was all moved in, and I put everything away, I had every blouse but one.

4. I moved into my mom’s and my house when my mother went into a nursing home. I was being evicted from my apartment because they said my little grandson was making too much noise.

My son and his girlfriend moved in with me. Once we moved in, I was cleaning the house and threw a lot of stuff away that I didn’t want or need. My mom had some old, dirty, tarnished silverware in the kitchen drawer, and since I didn’t want to throw any of my son’s girlfriend’s stuff away by accident, I showed her the silverware and asked her if it belonged to her. She said, “no.”

I was tired, so I figured I would just throw the silverware out the next day. I followed through the next day, and I opened the drawer where the silverware had been, and it was completely empty.

I bet I checked the same drawer, and three others that I knew never had the silverware in them four times by opening and shutting them. It just didn’t make sense. Where had they gone?

I asked my son, and his girlfriend if they had seen the silverware, even though I knew they wouldn’t have touched it anyway.

The next day, I looked in the same drawer in the kitchen that had my mom’s silverware in it before, and it was there, so I proceeded to throw it out.

5. The next, and last weird experience I had in my house was when I bought a new clock for the bedroom and was going to replace a religious picture. I laid the clock out on my kitchen table, and I went into another room to get the batteries I had bought for the clock, then went back into the kitchen, and the clock was gone. I have never seen it since.

Since then, there have been times when I have misplaced things and I thought to myself, “No, not the Mandela Effect again,” but there has always been a reasonable explanation that makes sense.
