Nelson Mandela’s Death
After Nelson Mandela passed away in 2013 from a respiratory tract infection, many people were confused. One woman took to the internet, stating that she remembers Nelson Mandela dying in jail back in the ‘90s. Plenty of people remember the same thing. They even remember details of his widow speaking at his televised funeral.

There is obviously no footage of this funeral because it never took place. But this isn’t something that ordinary folks just mixed up. There have been history books published stating that Nelson Mandela died in the ‘90s. Either they really need fact-checkers, or something strange is going on. After that, people found other things that many people remember incorrectly, and the term Mandela Effect was born.
