A widely popular theory is that the moon landing was staged, but some people believe that Stanley Kubrick actually directed the whole thing. They think that since he had finished 2001: A Space Odyssey in the 60s, he was capable of creating the special effects.

Going off of the previous theory, many also believe that Kubrick’s film “The Shining” is an admission by Kubrick himself that he did in fact direct the moon landing. Danny wears an Apollo 11 jumper as he enters room 237, which supposedly symbolizes the fact that Earth is around 237,000 miles from the moon. When it turns out that nothing in that room is real, people say that is the director telling the audience that the moon landing was also not real.

Apparently it’s suspicious that JK Rowling single-handedly became one of the richest authors of this or any other generation. Norwegian filmmaker Nine Grunfield has theorized that it’s actually several people working together. She gets her idea from the Nancy Drew series, which were written by a committee of ghost writers and the credit went to a fictional author “Carolyn Keene.”

The Denver International Airport has been highly speculated ever since it opened in 1995. One of the theories is that the ‘strange markings’ on the floor symbolize a new strain of hepatitis that could be used in biological warfare. Most of these symbols are actually taken from the Navajo language. Not to mention the blue mustang mascot is extremely creepy.

The saying “If you build it they will come” holds very true to the notion that if you make a gigantic science machine designed to do things that most people don’t understand, the conspiracies will flow abundantly. That’s what happened with CERN, seeing as many people are saying the Large Hadron Collider is actually attempting to awaken the Egyptian god of death, Osiris. Their ‘photographic evidence’ shows a statue of the Hindu god of destruction Shiva by the entrance to the LHC.

Elvis is still alive, according to some theorists. He’s been cited post-death in many places such as Michigan and Canada. Plus, his grave says Elvis Aaron Presley, but he often spelled his middle name with just one ‘a,’ so some believe this was a purposeful misspelling.

Some people think the government is putting fluoride in our water because it contains mind-altering chemicals that make us a more obedient population.

German historian Heribert Illig says the Dark Ages never happened. His Phantom Time Theory says that the years AD 614-911 did not ever occur, and that the current year is actually 1740. The basis for this one is the difference between the Gregorian and the Julian calendars. In theory, when the Gregorian calendar was introduced in 1582, there should have been a 13-day difference between it and the Julian calendar, one for each 100 years it had been around. But, it was only 10 days off, so the 300 years we thought happened, didn’t.

Some people think Paul McCartney has been dead since 1966 and The Beatles replaced him with look-alike Billy Shears. Some pieces of ‘evidence’ that are commonly used are the fact that he is pictured without his shoes on the cover of “Abbey Road” and the yellow bass guitar wreath on the “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” cover. Also, in “Strawberry Fields Forever,” some say you can hear John Lennon say “I Buried Paul” on the left channel of the recording.
