Anybody heard of this before? Was looked at a few years ago when a groups of people around the world distinctly recall Mandela dying in prison in the 80's. Loads of examples have popped up since.
Theories range from the brain making up a memory when 'put on the spot' so as to not look stupid to parallel universes overlapping each other.

The Loony Toons one definitely caught me out.
 
Doesn't really work as well now they've actually died, but so many people thought Vera Lynn and Kirk Douglas were already dead.
 
Isn’t The Queen dead. :eek:
Have to keep the facade going until we find a ‘good’ time to announce it.
 
I had a clear a vivid memory of the transporter bridge being painted gold for it's 100th anniversary.. even memories of conversations about it being painted gold. Spooky
 
Yeah these are great.

I distinctly remember Steve Gibson saying we were gunna smash the league too, but apparently he never.
 
I think all the Mandela Effect does is illustrate the well-known fact that human memory is inherently unreliable. There have been many, many studies that prove this but one of the more eloquent explanations of it that I've seen recently in a non-scientific setting was an interview with Dr Julia Shaw on SkavLan.

As she says in this interview, it's probable that the majority of our memories are at least partly false.
