20 Conspiracies People Still Follow

There are more than 20 conspiracies people still follow to this day, and there are plenty that many still believe without a doubt. But these are some of the most notable, as well as ridiculous.

Who assassinated JFK?

There are dozens of conspiracy theories surrounding this one premise. The fact that Lee Harvey Oswald was captured and then killed before he could give any information is kind of dodgy, but many are still convinced that’s not possible.

Area 51

When something doesn’t appear on a map, especially if it’s part of the US military, people get a little suspicious. However, no explanation the government has given to date has managed to quell the curiosity of the American people.

QAnon

It’s way too easy to be duped into believing that a political party will be underhanded enough to discredit their opponents in a devious manner. Unfortunately, it’s also easy to think that such a thing could happen if certain ethical procedures were somehow forgotten.

Research Facility in Alaska

Mind control is one of the more terrifying conspiracies that people believe in. But the research facility in the mountains of Alaska is fairly open, even if that doesn’t stop the conspiracy theorists.

The Johnny Gosch Kidnapping

Considering that this happened back in 1969 it’s fair to think that many people don’t remember it. But there are still plenty of people who believe one thing or another concerning his abduction.

The Safeguard Complex

Many still think that this building is used by the fabled Illuminati for clandestine reasons. It’s kind of hard to refute given that it was only in operation for one day back in 1975.

Bigfoot

Bigfoot has quite a range since the elusive creature has been sighted all over the USA. Washington is where most sightings are reported, and people still follow the supposed trail that Bigfoot cuts from state to state.

The Government Knows When Yellowstone Will Erupt

People follow the government because they think that their elected officials have their best interests at heart. But do they really if they know about the impending eruption of a volcano that could wipe out the nation?

Money-Laundering Mattress Firm

In 2018 it appeared that Mattress Firm had taken a vested interest in Illinois. Was there a serious demand for mattresses, or was something else going on?

Did Truman Capote Write “To Kill a Mockingbird”?

The author, Harper Lee, and Capote both grew up in Alabama, and they were friend as children. This conspiracy was denied by Lee’s sister, but she also stated that Capote was jealous of Lee’s success.

Was There More to MLK’s Assassination?

The fact is that James Earl Ray did admit to the killing of MLK Jr., but many still think he didn’t act alone. Some believe he was a fall guy for the KKK or even the FBI.

Is Nessie’s Cousin Living in Flathead Lake, Montana?

Keep in mind this was back in 1889 that this legend was first seen. Since then well over a hundred sightings have been reported, but nothing has fully surfaced yet.

What’s Hidden Behind Lincoln’s Face?

It’s known that the creator of Mount Rushmore’s famous carvings created a Hall of Records that’s located behind Lincoln’s head. But people still follow conspiracists who believe that there’s something else back there, something far more sinister.

The Georgia Guidestones

People still follow interesting conspiracy theories, especially if they’re relatively local. The ‘guidelines’ inscribed in several different languages on these stones are a little disturbing at times.

The Stripping of a Kentucky Derby Title

Supporting people who are disliked by others in power can be hazardous, which is where this little ditty comes from. Or rather, the theory is that since Peter Fuller, the winner of the derby in 1968, was a supporter of MLK Jr., he was sabotaged by the FBI.

John Dillinger’s Prison Escapes and Death

It’s interesting to remember that Billy the Kid was given this same conspiracy theory to preserve his legend. But the host of differences between Dillinger and the man people believe was killed behind the infamous theater in 1934 are kind of hard to reconcile.

Jimmy Hoffa, ‘Nuff Said

It’s fair to state that Jimmy Hoffa rubbed a few people the wrong way. The guy was kind of loud and outspoken, but it’s evident that he dealt with a few very unsavory characters. People still follow the various conspiracy theories leading to his disappearance.

Was The Joplin Tornado Man Made?

The US military gets a lot of flak when it comes to certain conspiracy theories. Some still believe that the Joplin tornado in Missouri back in 2011 was a military experiment.

Mystery Hill in New Hampshire

Who knows why or how the ancients did the things they did? In Salem, New Hampshire, there’s a site that’s thousands of years old that has chambers, walls, drains, and basins carved from stone. But why?

The Masons Get a Lot of Flak

All it takes is one annual meeting by the Freemasons to raise conspiracies. Blame pop culture or people with overactive imaginations, or both. But the fact is that there’s nothing clandestine here.
