This reminds me of those creepy moments in life Where some of your things for no apparent reason go “missing” And then they just show back up one day with no real explanation
When i was a kid, same thing was happening with my school books, when i wanted to find a particular one, i was looking for it for 15 mins and when someone else looked for it, he/she found it in the place i looked at at least 5 times
About 30 years ago, I was an accountant in my home town. I vividly remember hearing about, and reading the paper about, him going out to cut down trees for firewood, having an accident and dying. I remember doing his final tax return. I moved out of town about six months after he died and about three months after doing his taxes. Twenty years later. I went to church one Sunday and HE WAS THERE IN CHURCH! I spoke with him and his family and everything seemed normal. I went home and thought about it for a while. I asked my parents if they remembered that farmer that died cutting firewood. Nope, no recollection at all. I went to my former accounting office and after some promises and finagling got a look at his tax file. No final return for that year, just a series of annual tax returns with no breaks. Farmers have accidents all the time, but no one remembered a farmer dying while cutting wood during that period. I went back to the office and went through the estate tax returns for that year thinking maybe I just had the name wrong. None of our farmer clients died that year. I finally gave up and moved on until I heard about the Mandela effect. I have experienced the Mandela effect. I remain convinced that he died, but for some reason, it's only in my memory and he is still alive.
That’s first hand experience. All of my experiences are with famous people like Billy Graham. I remember him dying in the early nineties. I have spoken to people who remember crying while watching his funeral on tv. I was stunned when I learned he was still alive. Of course he recently has died again. And there are others...Jim Nabors, Louis Anderson, Doris Day etc.
Normally, I tend to discount the "Mandela Effect" phenomena but the weird thing is I have a distinct memory of Mandela's funeral (or something very similar) on TV when I was a teenager. The thing is, it aired during the day and I was out of school at the time. My mom used to buy Avon from a lady in the neighborhood and they were both in the living room when this was on. I vividly remember the Avon lady tearing up (she was African American) and my mom hugging her and saying something to the effect of "Mandela was a wonderful man." This is incredibly weird because it WAS a funeral and we sat there and watched it. I was getting frustrated because I wanted to play Nintendo and my mom said not until after this is over. Very bizarre.
I just discovered your channel this week and I have been binge watching your videos. I absolutely love the content and your subtly sarcastic personality!
In my universe Mandela died of the flu in the early 90's in his south African cell, in 2013 when I saw his obituary at the local gas station on a newspaper, I showed the clerk and both of us were like wtf
I remember Mandala dying of the flu when I was 12 in 1993. I remember Oprah doing a memorial TV show about it. She was wearing light aqua with ugly shoulder pad blazer
I remember his wife sitting in a chair during his funeral, she was wearing a floral red and black dress with a matching head wrap. Someone is playing games and they're not telling the truth, the M' effect is very real.
@@everythingisstupid bullshit,. I have a dictionary with the word great in it... Now they want to spell it grate..plus millions of people grew up with great
Wow ' Jay James' you're so knowledgeable. I like how you used the word, erasure, in your sentence. I'd love to hear more about the gusto you have with your knowledge.
Exactly. Don't get why so many blame the memory lmao. The answer isn't as simple as that obviously. We're not stupid and there's proof of it too. Though it's REALLY hard to prove that your from another Universe. I watched Shane Dawson talk about this stuff. It's freaky. Even freakier when people just try to throw this under the bus and blame the memory without thinking twice about it.
He also said that we are social animals and we can be manipulated as a social animal to have the same memories of another person just because we need social interactions so there's that
@@brokenwave6125That is a bad analogy. People that believe in a god like allah, Krishna, etc. wouldn't believe that had they not been taught about it to begin with. In the case of the mandella effect people are remembering an event the same way without having been taught about it. Again, very bad analogy.
If the reason we remember 'stein instead of 'stain is because we hear and see a lot more names ending in 'stein, that is an illusion most of us will succumb to. The number of people fooled by an illusion doesn't make it any less of an illusion. Just ask people what color the middle light of a stoplight is in the US. Most will say yellow - and most will be wrong. Does that mean anything funny is going on? No, it just means most of us get fooled into thinking it's yellow for the exact same reason.
I guess the main question I have is that if it was true that we are just misremembering and our brains are just filling in gaps, then why do almost all people that misremember an event seem to misremember it the same way?
my theory (in the mandela case) is that people read headlines that said he was "sentenced to die in prison" and just accepted that he would be dead in a few years and never heard from again. Then later, their brains are misremembering the title and remembering "died in prison". Seems like an easy mistake to make imo. I experienced a lot of mandela effects like froot loops and barenstain bears but these mistakes make sense to me. I mean who spells fruit like that? If they all remembered the same date of mandelas death I would be convinced, but the idea of someone dying is so general that i can see why many people would have the same memory. I also think its not a coincidence that most people remember things that are "correct" vs reality (ex. fruit vs froot, curious georges tail, stein being a much more common ending, etc.) even mandela fits since him dying in prison was technically more likely.
I’m a Berenstein Bear person also. I remember as a child in the 1980’s reading the books and I could swear to God that’s what they were called. It blew my mind to find out they are called Berenstain.
I have thought this before, and also thought the same thing about death. If I die do i simply wake in another timeline? Dreams of car accidents and waking upon impact, was that a timeline I was existing in? However I start to go a little insane the more in-depth I think about it.
Chris M Especially if you know You dream of what happens in the future after you wake up But than it actually happens later Bruh this is messing with my mind I can’t even tell if this is smart or dumb
Thing is, if you find yourself in a parallel universe - where some details are just not the same - how can you prove it? E.G. you wake up in a universe where the Berenstein Bears never happened, how can you convince people they did? More likely you will convince yourself they didn't exist.
Ooh yes! I have also thought about that! I mean yes we are affected in groups and by groupthinkers, so it is more likely if *you* remember something a bit odd or different you will just shrug and change that memory to fit everyone else's. Like a spelling - say Kit-Kat, for ex. If someone remembers it otherwise and said so, and everyone said no it has always been spelled like this, the most common thing is to shrug. But when you *know* the spelling is different and you get super confused you stick to the other way of spelling and question, to find an answer.
@@BioLivbanon What if we enter a world where all you get is government approved stuff and nothing else ever existed? Things were "always' socialists and we get put into a one world China's Ghost Cities industry.
I would question my memory or sanity if I was alone in my memory. The fact that there are others with no connection to me, who have the same precise recall has me convinced that I’m not mistaken. What are the odds that even two people would remember the little line that crosses the F in Ford as being different. Now what are the odds that thousands of people would have the same memory? Virtually impossible. Someone is playing with us, or testing. These changes are not all random, they are always ambiguous, a punctuation mark, a double letter changing to single or vice versa. Never something blatantly obvious. They know we are watching changes in “The Wizard of Oz,” so they’re messing with that movie quita bit. I think it has something to do with Cern and quantum mechanics.
@@buddyrichable1 It might be the case that parallel realities are always merging into each other, always did. Very similar parallels would have have only slight differences. It might be the case we're noticing those slight differences due to the ubiquitous nature of recorded imagery, In the past such anomalies may have gone unnoticed.
I’ve watched 11 to thousand Mandela affect videos and each one of them they keep saying that my memory is not good I’m in my 50s not seeing now and I remember things pretty well I remember writing a report on his life and death of Mandela in 1982 while in elementary school my grandmother crying and screaming it was a sad day for my family. I almost has a heart attack after having my son on June 1990 in the hospital i see him at Yankee Stadium. My memory is just fine!!
My sister and I grew up watching the show and I even remember reading the books. When my sister and I found out that people were saying berenstain instead of berenstein we were like WTFF because we both know it’s berenstein. We thought we were crazy and losing our minds for saying berenstein but now that I see other people that remember berenstein too I believe in the Mandela effect
I distinctly remember it as Berenstein and not Berenstain. It absolutely blew my mind to find out I was wrong but it blew my mind further to find out millions of other people also knew them as the Berenstein Bears. I’m just glad I’m not alone.
My cousin taught me about Nelson Mandela when I was about 8 and I remember him telling me specifically that he died in prison. I was too young to really look into it but I remember the story.
So, honest question here, not an attack: if you believe that he died in prison, what do you think the rest of us are thinking who don't remember that? Like you mentioned your cousin told you about Mandela, obviously I don't know your cousin or the version of the story you do, so to you, do you think we're crazy because we don't recall his death? I guess that's my biggest question with this phenomenon, what do folks experiencing it think is up with those who don't? Like the Berenstain Bears thing, I distinctly recall my mother calling them Berenstein Bears, by pronunciation, but I recall the spelling being "Ain" on the books and I simply chalked up in childhood to her Northeastern accent. (Mom was from New Hampshire) Many years later, a friend tipped me off about this Mandela effect, and even mentioned the Berenstain Bears. I wonder now if my mother misread the logo, if maybe she legit thought it was "Ein" or it was in fact just the accent.
@@kiltedcripple I think the timelines shifted or converged in some way. So, some people went from that timeline to this, but not everyone did. So some people don't remember Mandela dying in prison, because in this timeline, he didn't. Only people from the original timeline would remember. Call me a schizo, but that's what I think
@@loth4015 or... and I know this is a reach... they're misremembering. Plenty of smart folks make lots of mistakes every day. And half the people in the world aren't smart.
@@kiltedcripple I remember having a mandela effect of the mandela effect tbh. I think in the original timeline I first remember that one example of the mandela effect was that Mandela died in 2013, but he was actually still alive. But now he's dead again. I am in the timeline again where he DID die in 2013.
That was ALWAYS so damn confusing those books. God I HATED the way they spelled them. Even grown up as a teenager. This spelling I'd never have any problems! I wonder if the authors changed it to make it easier?
They did reprints of the books in the early 00s. Does anybody have any originals from the 90s left over? Your copies may look old but could still be 2000s reprints which now is like in the 2000s having something from the 80s.
Yes!!! Exactly. I wasn’t sure how I was supposed to say either (Ee-ther or Eye-ther?), until I heard something on TV. “Steen or Stine?” Then they throw and A in there? No.
I have a photographic memory of spelling and numbers, always have. Several of my teachers over the years were convinced I was cheating on my spelling tests until I showed them, usually after class. I found it humorous that they would search everything including my hands and shoes, pockets, socks and so on. My little sister watched the Berenstein bears and I am telling you all, it was not Berenstain Bears.....period.
I agree it always been Berenstein Bears. I went to all black school and Mandela died in prison they had the funeral broadcasting on the TV one Channel TV the provide to public school back then. It was a huge event at our school anytime a civil rights leader pass away. I remember this and a few other things like the Ford logo look 100% different than it do now. I thought ford just change the logo but now if you look back it the same logo even in the early 60's.. odd due to that logo is everywhere in Detroit and i know it has changed.
@@dbuck2862 strange brew perckolating today brother man. I grew up in Michigan little town called Lake Odessa. Bout halfway between Lansing and Grand Rapids. Stay safe out there!!
Nope, it was the Bearnstein Bears. I've had that argument with my brothers. I do however remember a false announcement that Mandela died in prison. There were several hours of reports and talks on the T.V about his life etc. Then it was announced that, No he hadn't died. He was very ill but recovering. This could be where the whole disconnect started.
If you wake up in a different alternate reality each day, can you control which one by staying positive and expecting good things? Or, alternatively, can you go to bad-for-you realities by being pessimistic? Perhaps optimists are on to something. Food for thought.
sorry dont kno how old you are but there is toontown and looney tunes to different spellings I think thats where a lot of thet mix up comes from. I was born 1996 and remembered watching looney TUNES but got confused for minutes from your comment then remembered toontown and it clarified my mind
aight get this, what if.. when we die, our consciousness will be transferred to the other us in another universe? like everytime we did something that could result in us dying, our consciousness will automatically transferred to a parallel us where in that universe we didn’t die. so everytime we die, we don’t really die cause we’ll be transferred and continue to live in the universe where we didn’t die. bruh idk wtf am i saying. oh sht it’s almodt 4 in the morning lmao
Joe I know this video is several years old, but to touch back on Nelson Mandela dying before his prison release..... I remember this happening because I remember my mother becoming quite irate at the fact her soap operas were cut off over the news cutting in to announce Nelson's death. It was even covered on Oprah. She was very upset about it. I remember sitting there with my mother and my mother saying if she's so upset why didn't she help to get him out of jail before he died.... and various other things that she was going on and on about. I even remember my social studies teacher at that time talking about Nelson's death. I remember during black history month he was celebrated. I remember Nelson's wife giving a very well thought out speech because it was televised. I even remember the rioting in South Africa being shown on the news and how frightening the images were. My entire family remembers this and not because we suggested things and kept a conversation going. My fiance even remembers him dying and it being talked about in his family and his school. I would imagine it the brain was that fallible, that millions of people would not be remembering this and with so many details. I also remember Berenstein, the movie Shazam with Sinbad, Curious George having a tail, jiffy peanut butter not just plain JIF, the Monopoly guy having a monocle because I didn't know what it was called and my cousin told me as I was pointing at the character on the box, Pikachu having the black mark on his tail because he did, my sister used to work in a pokemon card store and she remembers the black being on the tail too, Smokey THE Bear because it even said it on the commercials, There are many more, but my post seems really long. I just wanted to establish that I too remember so many of these things that I can't help but wonder why so many remember and with great detail and so many don't.
Damn yeah i agree with all of this. I don’t remember Mandela dying necessarily, but the other ones you mentioned 100%. I didn’t even know about some of these even being up for debate lol.
I remember Mandela getting out of prison, because that was huge news, I was probably too young in the 80s to even recall the funeral if it happened in my universe
@@Itsatragedeigh it would not be the case where people so adamantly confident would all remember it incorrectly with the exact same incorrect difference. I don't even touch ones that I'm 95% sure on therefore I keep it in my close handful that I would bet my life on because we're not stupid. Wait for movie quotes because you can't ever prove it, kind of. For me Ford with the squiggly I remember vividly the first time I saw it squiggly and I thought it was just the XLT type version insane how I knew it was off and ugly what a specific time in my life because it was the first time that I could walk again after 3 months following an accident May May 2013 same exact day I saw the Volvo and thought what the fuck is that arrow on there for and I live overseas so we don't have many brands that would be juggling around in my mind and a few American ones. Kit Kat I noticed immediately and just thought it was a change in there brand or packaging. But wow it's like in my mind it's nothing but simulation because too many things correlate to always mean something and even the ones that I'm a little bit nuanced about especially this Mandela one is I remember him dying and thinking he was dead a long time ago........ What was he doing for last 25 years. I'm just saying I have a few words almost as if I was like there's an asterisk in my memory maybe let's say like the Gremlins was it Spike or Stripe and it's like I almost had a argument with my mother about it be way back in the day as stripe would make sense would it not cuz they got stripes down their back but Spike he had the spiked hair. You know I have a theory on this sometimes people lie to themselves because they're naturally lying type people and they can believe a lie like if it's something that's they haven't thought about maybe for years or whatever but I believe that truly honest people that don't lie don't ever make up stuff in their head that's not real and I don't either therefore I think it's a the more honest you are the more convinced of your reality you will be therefore passionate about what you know is the truth and those of maybe easily manipulated or dishonest minds we'll just say oh yeah never mind I was wrong man when I saw this the first time this was like a week of all my free time trying to figure this shit out because it wasn't right and I still hold it as one of my truths I don't go looking up Mandela effect videos and stuff but I know it's something that will align with and did align with a restored faith in humanity at the time but I still would think it was sad kind of if it was a simulation which really doesn't point to that many ways and I think it's just a weird of course the simulation is going to lead right up to the point where it is it possible to recreate simulations just as real as reality and maybe it resets every 200 years I don't know to the point right before technology did that I don't know we could be one of a million little experiments artificial intelligence we may be who knows.
@@timhollis3390 you mean the groupthink ones are the ones who believe 100% their memories are correct, and any inconsistencies are due to parallel universes?
Yeah, same here, which is why that one was so disconcerting. "Stine" or "steen," and also noting that it was "BerEnstein" and not "Bernstein" like Leonard Bernstein, the composer, or Carl Bernstein, one of the reporters who broke the Watergate story. With the -stain spelling, those arguments should never have happened, which means (assuming it's confabulation for lack of better evidence of anything else) it's not just a confabulation of the spelling or pronunciation, but an entire set of experiential memories that never happened and that aren't actually necessary to support the confabulated memory, as, for example, imagining someone saying something especially nasty during an argument so one can view oneself as the wronged party might be. And that suggests that our brains aren't just making stuff up to reinforce the consistency of our worldviews (and especially our self-perceptions), they're making stuff for no particular reason at all, which is a much more difficult problem for which to control.
It was definitely always “Barenstain” in my experience, however I am someone who remembers curious George having a tail. I literally remember an episode where the plot of the episode was based around George having an injured tail, and the man in the Yellow Hat took him out for ice cream to cheer him up. I also vividly remember Curious George hanging by his tail from the letter C in the title sequence 😝
I also remember all those things about Curious George, especially hanging by his tail by the letter C. It inspired me to do a lot of drawings of other animals entwined with the first letter of their name. Like E for elephant, L for lion, etc.
I don't remember where I heard it, but there's a theory out there that says if you can change the frequency your body vibrates at, you'll move into a different universe, like tuning to a different radio station.
Every decision we make causes us to split into a parallel universe each time. So we are constantly jumping through extremely similar, but different universes. Everyone is doing this. That's why people can seem so different from day to day. It also explains Deja Vu and many other strange things.
Here's the thing for people who experience the Mandela effect. Without knowing someone I can predict every wrong memory they will have because we share it. Mass Hysteria requires local proximity and people who experience the Mandela do not share anything but the experience.
I'm almost 30 yrs old and in the 90s, I literally learned to read with the Berenstein Bears books and I literally had a lesson from my mom on how the 'e' and 'i' made up the sound "stein". I never cared for those books much, I didnt care for the animation and the Berenstein family annoyed me which is weird for a 4 year old to even think. But that distaste of the books allowed me to hang on to the memory that I took from it, untainted by the influence of the world. Of course, I've lost plenty of memories growing up but my brain didn't create new ones that never happened with extended visual details like what I have over this event. So.. 10/10 can confirm - BerenstEin. Today is the first time I'm even hearing about this "stain" thing... WTF! Another story: When I was approx 2 yrs old, my mother had connections to a friend who wrote my name in as a character in a single small-time Flinstones book just for fun and just for our household... I was unbelievably proud of this fact probably until the age of 6 when I started realizing it only brought embarrassment to talk about it to my peers. In my adult years, I asked my mother if she still had that book and she said had no idea what I was talking about. She said nothing like that had ever happened in my life... I could not believe what I was hearing whatsoever because so much of my childhood had been shaped around the existence of this book that she claims never existed... My soul KNOWS that it did happen. I'm labeling it an alternate reality/Mandela effect.
The second story can be down to children's imaginations taking over based on one trigger.. Like if your mom might have told you once that you behave like a character in the Flintstones, and your imagination filled in the rest. It's why small children are very bad eyewitnesses. If you ask a child where they were before they were born, there is a chance they would make up a realistic-sounding story based on some story they have heard in their periphery.
Yeah, it's funny how everyone that hasn't had an alternate memory episode writes it off as some form of our memory being incorrect or made up. I guess that's the easy way out if you're closed minded.
Nirmal Kirtisinghe If you ask anyone where they were before they were born they would have to resort to imagination, how could it have anything to do with memory? It’s not a valid point. Children do have strong recollections of significant events that remain throughout life. I know I have. He recounted a specific event that made an impression on his young mind. You are another “know it all” explaining the ME to us without thinking it halfway through.
I remember the night I learned about this phenomenon. I was blown away by several of the more popular examples. I think the one that got me the most was from the James Bond movie moonraker. There is a villian nicknamed Jaws who has metal teeth. At the end of the movie he smiles at a young blonde woman and she smiles back revealing braces. Except she never had braces. I was so freaked out about this misremembering I had to research it and actually found there was a bank commercial cross promoting with Moonraker and the same actor was banking there. He smiles revealing his metal teeth and the teller smiled revealing braces. So weird how my memory had that wrong!
@@snarfsnarfff My memory conflated a movie and a commercial. I was wrong and thats the explination. If you have the same memory as I have, same thing happened to you. I found the commercial on CZcams years ago. You probably could find it again if you looked.
I specifically remember it being the Berenstein bears. I remember it specifically because my mother was dedicated to her children learning to read early and being well read people. Because of this, I loved those books and remember asking my mom how the name was actually pronounced and she confirmed Berenstein and she was educated and could most certainly read.
I worked in a retail store for many years, and we sold all the Berenstain Bears books. Sorry to burst your imaginative bubbles, but it was ALWAYS Berenstain... Period.
OK, here's my Mandela Effect story. I went to college from 1978 to 1981. During part of that, I worked as an artist for a small technical publishing house in Arcadia, California. My boss, the art director, was a member of the governing body that determines safety rules for Indy Cars. This is important, because I wouldn't have paid any attention to the following events if it weren't for the fact that I was working for a guy who knew Mickey Thompson personally and he lived just up the hill from this office. I have a very clear and distinct memory of arriving at the office in the morning and everyone was very upset that Mickey Thompson and his wife had been brutally murdered by two unknown gunmen who escaped on bicycles (he lived at the top of a steep hill, so, logically, this really made sense). I remember the the chaos in our office, since we published engineering documentation, and, again, my boss was involved in the racing community and knew Mickey and his wife personally. This was while I worked at this publishing house when I was a student, sometime around 1981 Mickey's murder was in 1988, and by that time, I was well out of school, living in the high desert, working for an Aerospace company and had no contact whatsoever with anyone from my student days for years. I was so confused when Michael Goodwin was convicted for contracting this crime in 2007 and the story made the news again
This is super strange.. I remember reading the ending of the Book of Job ( Bible ) where it was saying that all his family returned back to him, this was so strange because in the beginning I knew they died, anyway, I said, this is messed up. I returned some time later and read the same Book of Job, now the ending was different, in this version, he had more children, same Bible!! This is just one thing, I've seen things that today were there and tommorow they were in another place and all people could only remember that they were in this other place, not where there I've seen them in the first place. They say, this has thing has been here for years, can't you remember? I say, hey, yesterday it was here!! I was walking through a near by forest, suddenly, I have this feeling that I see two super huge statues of Jesus Christ and Mary, when I turned my view to that side, there were no statues there, but I was 100% they were there.
I remember there being 46 us presidents I even saw on Donald Trump's Twitter that he was the 46th but a few days ago I searched on google and I saw that there was 45 us presidents instead of 46 and I was like wtf? I believe in the mandela effect.
I don't know what's weirded, remembering the spelling as "Berenstein" and suddenly discovering it was "Berenstain" OR being one of the very few people who actually remember it as "Berenstain." I am the second one.
I think it’s possible our world is stuck in a contracting and constricting loop each time slightly different but simultaneously with one another. Our dreams are glimpses of that. Our Deja vu experiences are glimpses of that. The more intuitive you are and the more in tune you are with yourself, the more you see.
I specifically remember the Bearenstein Bears because when I was growing up I called them Bearenstain in front of my older sister & she corrected me, pointing out the spelling on the book cover. This was not my imagination, nor was it a dream or mis-remembering. I remember this specifically because about 17 years later My sister passed away. I didn't know about the Mandela effect until my brother mentioned it. I was walking through a grocery store one night & saw a box of Cap'n Crunch. I always remembered it Captain Crunch. The full word. I dismissed it at the time to a name change only to find out later that the full word was apparently never used. I have a theory but it has nothing to do with alternate Universes. My thinking is this. What if some how some faction in the world learned how to manipulate time & have been changing tiny things that wouldn't cause a time split ? Only a ripple effect. Changing small things that wouldn't have a large impact on our lives or time itself. What if Nelson Mandella was a large test to see what boundries could be pushed ? What if this has something to do with the LHC ?
Some think the experiments going on at CERN has sent the world into one of the closest alternate universes with very small changes and were now discovering them. They also predict more changes to come because CERN is preparing to go bigger and more of these tests so no telling what's next...
"This was not my imagination, nor was it a dream or mis-remembering." Yes it was exactly one of those. The berenstain bears were never the berenstein bears. i grew up bi-lingual , german & english ... you would see a lot of "stein" names and americans always pronounced it "steen" ... just a thing you would take note of as a kid... and i always wondered why the bears where stain and not stein, stain actually being an english word and stein being a german word. all you people ARE misremembering. your sister might have corrected you, and you remember the situation, but she was wrong.
@@kosmique This is an actual snippet taken from a TV Guide back in that time. It is not altered. There are other examples if you care to search for them. I am not remembering anything & My sister was not wrong. files.abovetopsecret.com/files/img/me57dd4d59.png
I remember Mandela dying and also when he was released and elected. The lion laying down with the lamb thing is the one that really blows my mind though.
The lion/lamb one is easily the oldest ME, and it's still barely a century of human history, which was largely due to depictions in art throughout that period anyway. To me it just proves that people have always talked about the Bible more than actually read it.
@@punchline43 I grew up in a household where we attended Bible study groups and the actual book was read and discussed. Lion/lamb was there, along with a few more things that are not mentioned by the masses, that simply are not there now. I wholeheartedly agree that most people have never actually read that book, Christianity is proof of it, but I have. I recall the reading, and the discussions, the Bible has changed, not the memories.
this is kind of like memory entanglement where other memory collide with each other to create a new set of memory, and i think that is what is causing this effect
As late as I am to this dinner party, I still TOTALLY remember it being "The Berenstein Bears"! Human memory being as fallible as it is, I'm still glad there are others who remember the same.
What's weird for me is sometimes I can actually remember both the new and old memories.. as if the memories are merging. Kinda like in the Dennis Quaid led movie " Frequency ". When at the end of the movie the son played by Jim Caviezel said he could remember both time lines.
I think skeptics will attribute that to the suggestibility of the human mind. =============================================================================
I am one who had a conversation with my mom when Mandela “died” in prison. It was the first time I even saw pictures or heard of the man. Lol I had no idea who he was so when my mom was so heartbroken that he had passed she had to tell me who he was. I freaked out when I heard that he had died in 2013. Everyone thought I was lying or acting... it was very frustrating! Later my hubby brought up the “Mandela effect Theory”. Just the fact that they had to give it a name that PURPOSEFULLY discards the personal SAME accounts of MILLIONS of people on the SAME topic... well it just says that there is SOMETHING behind it. I mean if you have to coin a term for something so you can act likes it nothing... well you definitely have some motive. I think it was purposely planted misinformation on the news. Maybe he was in danger or there was an uprising about to start somewhere and they needed someone to believe he was dead. Regardless of why, whoever is behind it deserve a big round of applause!
Ariana Steffeny that makes a lot of since . They could’ve put the rumor out that he died to protect him . Fake press . Or a publicity stunt . For his soon to be presidency . Your post put it into perfect perspective for me !
Now, this makes sense on some level. I'm thinking about fake news, old style fake news, but still fake news. The reason being: distracting the people from a piece of actual news, which could have caused some kind of riot. I don't think it's that unreasonable...
Same thing as tesla, if he's supposedly one of the greatest minds in history,how come he wasn't in any of my text books growing up? It's like he just appeared and people who don't question things just accept it.
It's also possible that your subconscious downloaded the timeline of that parallel universe, perhaps while dreaming. So while you never actually experienced that reality, your memory has been altered by that input. Now personally, I'm not a big parallel universe guy but I do acknowledge that it's possible.
There's no doubt that the books were "The Berenstein Bears." There's no way to question the Library's Dewey Decimal System of organizing books and the alphabet.😊My Mom and I both worked in the Public Library. I worked in the Children's Library room and I cataloged many books. I had to alphabetize "The Berenstein Bears" books. NOT Berenstain. There's just no way to get past the Library's Dewey Decimal System, since it was my job to know BERENSTEIN BEARS correctly. 😊 That's not a memory issue!
It’s not a memory issue it’s actually something your brain tricks you into thinking because it simply makes sense to be spelled with the e and not with an a
A lot of things mess up with my mind like that but I figured they are all things I remember as a child. Back then I wouldn't pay attention and I retain the information the wrong way.
Sabine Katsavrias You actually saw the movie Shazam? I remember the ads on tv about the movie, so I know it existed, but you actually saw it. Thats proof.
Robert R That’s my experience exactly. Thinking that about Kazzam is what makes me sure about Shazam. It’s like when I noticed the Ford logo change before I had ever heard of the ME. I simply thought that Ford had redesigned it. It wasn’t until I stumbled across a video about this that I discovered the ME. Do you remember the North Pole being a huge ice mass in the Arctic Circle, or Bob Seeger having two E’s instead of the current one E. Cheers.
I'm a preacher over 50 years. I have tapes of Bible verses that I preach from. Almost 1500 vs super naturally changed in my KJV translation. The Mandela effect has nothing to do with memory. It has everything to do with evil.

I always remember rear view mirrors saying “objects in mirror may be closer than they appear” 🤷♂️ every other Mandela Effect I can kind of see how it gets confused in my own mind but that one has stuck with me.
the Mandela effect boils down to a couple of people that distinctly remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison and instead of thinking "huh, i guess i remembered it incorrectly" they think "I couldn't possibly be wrong! What are you, mad?!"
There are also pictures online of old TV Guide issues showing that TV Guide mis-spelled Berenstain. I'd be curious just how common that mis-spelling was. I know that one similar situation is an old, old movie called Taxi! from 1932. TONS of people believed that James Cagney's character had a famous line in it where he said "You dirty rat" but it never happened. I remember learning about this in the 1980s as a kid. I had never seen the movie, but I HAD heard a multitude of parodies of James Cagney and gangsters using the characteristic voice of that character saying 'You dirty rat', including Looney Tunes cartoons and other similar things. I think this is sort of just like a super-sized version of that kids game called Telephone. The one where a bunch of kids sit in a circle and a kid at one place on the circle whispers a sentence to the kid next to them, then they pass it along to their neighbor, and so on around the circle. By the time it gets all the way around the circle, the sentence has been completely changed. In this case, someone with a lot of listeners repeats the original quote incorrectly, and that gets picked up and parroted through the magic of recording with perfect fidelity. So then everybody 'remembers it wrong' when all they're actually doing is remembering an incorrect repetition rather than the original. One of the well-established flaws of the human brain and memory is that we suck at remembering WHERE we learned something. There's a lot of "I must have read it somewhere" or "somebody mentioned it sometime" if you ask people where they learned things. Another really unfortunate problem is that if you tell someone something, and then tell them that it is wrong, chances are very high that they will remember what you told them but NOT that it is wrong. So when asked, they will repeat the incorrect idea and claim you told them it is true.
My mother in a nutshell. But in all seriousness I’ve had something like this where I don’t remember my husband being in my year 10 English class. I can remember everyone else except him being there.
I've been in tons of crazy situations in life (i.e. MOTOCROSS accidents, high speed chases, explosions...) and was all around insane as a child yet never broken a bone. I'm convinced you dont know when you really die.
i got into an argument when i was a kid about mandela dying. i was convinced id already seen his death announced (on tv) about 7yrs before his "actual" death. they changed something
Third Eye Focus quantum computers are still mostly non existent. They’re mostly in small testing and experimental phase and there’s not really a true strong working quantum computer that has more than a few Q bits, mostly prototypes from IBM and such.
I specifically remember as a kid watching the mainstream news on tv in Britain in the 80's and hearing that Nelson Mandela had died in prison. Then fast forward to 2013 when i heard he died again I remember doing a double take to the tv and being very confused thinking how is that possible when my memory of him was hearing that died much earlier. I reckon we are either jumping parallel universes or timelines are shifting and theres a whole bunch of people from a different timeline compared to the rest of those who never had that memory.
When I was 10, I was hit by a car and flung through the air. I have memory of seeing myself fly through the air which is obviously not possible but the memory is there and vivid as hell. To be fair, what brought me to a stop was slamming my head into a metal drain and suffering severe concussion and fractured skull. So...
I'm one of the people who remembers Nelson Mandela dying in Prison...it being on the news and then ...he died again years later. I am interested in the Mandela effect as group memory but i am interested in other options. It would be good if you could do another video Mentioning more of them as you only mentioned 2 although I enjoyed the thoughts you had on them.
I like to think that somewhere there's a universe where the most significant event in my young life, my 5th grade teacher isolating me from the other kids cuz I was "acting up", and I started writing stories and creating characters to alleviate my loneliness, never happened and I never pursued my creativity. Somewhere out there, there's a me that likes sports or cooking instead of writing and reading. Scary but intriguing.
i don't think it's a poor human memory issue. i just think reality is a lot more incongruous than we choose to believe, or are able to comprehend and continue functioning.
I also remember the Berenstein bear's, it should have been named the Berenstein effect because I think more people experienced that. I remember the James Bond one too.
What is trippy to me is, this past winter i was at a friends house and we were playing monopoly, and i was looking at the cover thinking to myself, "oh they updated the guy on the box" remembering he had that one eye glass...
Einstein showed us 100 years ago that individual time is subjective. & If we can’t agree on time then we can’t agree on space (location) either as the two are intrinsically linked. Which suggest to me that everyone is at a unique time and space in the universe, thus a exclusive realities. Einstein also pointed out that when you travel near the speed of light your clock slows down and everyone outside of your time speeds up. Allowing you to hop years into the future. Which suggest that an overlap of timelines happens in nature and if you overlap time your overlapping space as well. Which could create hybrid realities like the Mandela effect.
Joe, I also distinctly remember it being the Berenstein Bears... like very distinctively so. So maybe we both crossed over here to the Berenstain Bears universe on accident
I lost ur account for some time (a loooooong time) and I couldn't remember what was ur channel called but while searching for Mandela affects you popped up and I just SCREAMED! So glad I found u again! Imma go now and catch up

Same. That’s what it feels like lol. Sometimes I’ll go outside and it FEELS like everything looks “different”... like I’m here but I’m not. If that makes sense.

I wake up in a slightly different body once in awhile and I watch the movie snow White and the huntsman and it keeps switching from mirror mirror on the wall to magic mirror on the wall. And I own this DVD so I totally believe we are jumping from universe to universe. And it was Berenstein bears cause I used to try to teach my daughter how to pronounce it and spell it cause it was her favorite and we had the whole collection. It's freaky stuff but very real....things are happening we can not conceive yet.
Then go grab that collection and make a video? Because none of you that claim to remember have any proof but there’s plenty of us that still have old books that will prove you wrong
Nelson Mandela died in 1989. Lucille Ball died April 26, 1989; April 30th Guy Williams (actor) died and I remember thinking at the time, "Who's next?" because they say bad things tend to happen in threes, and the very next day (May 1st) they reported Nelson Mandela dying in prison. Somehow between then and now I got shunted into this horrible alternate universe
There isn’t necessarily an alternate universe we’re living in the SAME timeline but it has been altered however we can remember original instances but not the altered ones, my theory is that some smart ass is trying to see what he can get away with
Creepy that this video was released on 20th June 2016. Three days later, the UK voted to leave the EU. Months later, there were literally _millions_ of people who would swear blind that "no deal Brexit" (the form of leaving with no agreement on future relationship) was "what they voted for", even though it was not only never promised during the campaign, but any suggestion that it might happen was actively dismissed by the leave campaigners as "Project Fear".

I remember the big celebration when he got out of gaol. My school let us watch some stuff on tv. Then he was in the news regularly due to his work, speeches, hen running for and becoming President. It’s always mystified and saddened me that people thought he died in prison. I have always carried with me a small anecdote from his book about his imprisonment, where he talks about keeping his sanity during the long years of confinement. He kept telling himself that although his body was in prison, his mind was free to go wherever he wanted, and that helped him to bear the time and treatment.
This reminds me of those creepy moments in life

About 30 years ago, I was an accountant in my home town. I vividly remember hearing about, and reading the paper about, him going out to cut down trees for firewood, having an accident and dying. I remember doing his final tax return. I moved out of town about six months after he died and about three months after doing his taxes.
Twenty years later. I went to church one Sunday and HE WAS THERE IN CHURCH! I spoke with him and his family and everything seemed normal. I went home and thought about it for a while. I asked my parents if they remembered that farmer that died cutting firewood. Nope, no recollection at all. I went to my former accounting office and after some promises and finagling got a look at his tax file. No final return for that year, just a series of annual tax returns with no breaks. Farmers have accidents all the time, but no one remembered a farmer dying while cutting wood during that period. I went back to the office and went through the estate tax returns for that year thinking maybe I just had the name wrong. None of our farmer clients died that year.
I finally gave up and moved on until I heard about the Mandela effect. I have experienced the Mandela effect. I remain convinced that he died, but for some reason, it's only in my memory and he is still alive.
What you experienced is so big it would fit better into "Glitch in the Matrix" (lame name, I know 😆). Have you heard of it?
Bro try to read or hear the narration story of the girl the universe forgot
Sht gave me goosebumps
Fake news!
That’s first hand experience. All of my experiences are with famous people like Billy Graham. I remember him dying in the early nineties. I have spoken to people who remember crying while watching his funeral on tv. I was stunned when I learned he was still alive. Of course he recently has died again. And there are others...Jim Nabors, Louis Anderson, Doris Day etc.
Normally, I tend to discount the "Mandela Effect" phenomena but the weird thing is I have a distinct memory of Mandela's funeral (or something very similar) on TV when I was a teenager. The thing is, it aired during the day and I was out of school at the time. My mom used to buy Avon from a lady in the neighborhood and they were both in the living room when this was on. I vividly remember the Avon lady tearing up (she was African American) and my mom hugging her and saying something to the effect of "Mandela was a wonderful man." This is incredibly weird because it WAS a funeral and we sat there and watched it. I was getting frustrated because I wanted to play Nintendo and my mom said not until after this is over. Very bizarre.
My memory of this event is SO similar to yours! Freaking me out! 😭
Time to start believing then
Typical kid. Can I play Nintendo yet ha ha! Wow though!

In my universe Mandela died of the flu in the early 90's in his south African cell, in 2013 when I saw his obituary at the local gas station on a newspaper, I showed the clerk and both of us were like wtf
I remember Oprah talking about his death - it is so odd.
For me, he was murdered while in jail. In the late 80’s.
@@Vintage.EvenStar As a South African, he indeed died in December 2013

I remember Mandala dying of the flu when I was 12 in 1993. I remember Oprah doing a memorial TV show about it. She was wearing light aqua with ugly shoulder pad blazer
Huh...interesting so there is a 3rd death of mandella
I remember his wife sitting in a chair during his funeral, she was wearing a floral red and black dress with a matching head wrap. Someone is playing games and they're not telling the truth, the M' effect is very real.
I definitely remember him passing in the 90s
So the entire universe magically changed rather than your mind being faulty. The very epitome of human horseshit pride in self.
Are you idiots? He died in 2013
The books were originally called "The Berenstein Bears." They changed the spelling to mess with us. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Jay James I always say this. It’s like they are gaslighting the entire population. Trippy stuff.
So you're the one photoshopping books with the wrong spelling.

@@everythingisstupid bullshit,. I have a dictionary with the word great in it... Now they want to spell it grate..plus millions of people grew up with great

The memory thing doesn't hold a lot of weight when it's millions of memories remembering the same thing.
Exactly. Don't get why so many blame the memory lmao. The answer isn't as simple as that obviously. We're not stupid and there's proof of it too. Though it's REALLY hard to prove that your from another Universe. I watched Shane Dawson talk about this stuff. It's freaky. Even freakier when people just try to throw this under the bus and blame the memory without thinking twice about it.
He also said that we are social animals and we can be manipulated as a social animal to have the same memories of another person just because we need social interactions so there's that
Millions believe in Allah, millions believe in Krishna, millions believe in Yahweh.
None of that proves anything.
@@brokenwave6125That is a bad analogy. People that believe in a god like allah, Krishna, etc. wouldn't believe that had they not been taught about it to begin with. In the case of the mandella effect people are remembering an event the same way without having been taught about it. Again, very bad analogy.
If the reason we remember 'stein instead of 'stain is because we hear and see a lot more names ending in 'stein, that is an illusion most of us will succumb to. The number of people fooled by an illusion doesn't make it any less of an illusion. Just ask people what color the middle light of a stoplight is in the US. Most will say yellow - and most will be wrong. Does that mean anything funny is going on? No, it just means most of us get fooled into thinking it's yellow for the exact same reason.
I guess the main question I have is that if it was true that we are just misremembering and our brains are just filling in gaps, then why do almost all people that misremember an event seem to misremember it the same way?
my theory (in the mandela case) is that people read headlines that said he was "sentenced to die in prison" and just accepted that he would be dead in a few years and never heard from again. Then later, their brains are misremembering the title and remembering "died in prison". Seems like an easy mistake to make imo. I experienced a lot of mandela effects like froot loops and barenstain bears but these mistakes make sense to me. I mean who spells fruit like that? If they all remembered the same date of mandelas death I would be convinced, but the idea of someone dying is so general that i can see why many people would have the same memory. I also think its not a coincidence that most people remember things that are "correct" vs reality (ex. fruit vs froot, curious georges tail, stein being a much more common ending, etc.) even mandela fits since him dying in prison was technically more likely.
I’m a Berenstein Bear person also. I remember as a child in the 1980’s reading the books and I could swear to God that’s what they were called. It blew my mind to find out they are called Berenstain.
It only became Berenstain after a dimensional shift in reality.

Thing is, if you find yourself in a parallel universe - where some details are just not the same - how can you prove it?
E.G. you wake up in a universe where the Berenstein Bears never happened, how can you convince people they did?
More likely you will convince yourself they didn't exist.
Ooh yes! I have also thought about that!
I mean yes we are affected in groups and by groupthinkers, so it is more likely if *you* remember something a bit odd or different you will just shrug and change that memory to fit everyone else's.
Like a spelling - say Kit-Kat, for ex. If someone remembers it otherwise and said so, and everyone said no it has always been spelled like this, the most common thing is to shrug. But when you *know* the spelling is different and you get super confused you stick to the other way of spelling and question, to find an answer.
@@BioLivbanon What if we enter a world where all you get is government approved stuff and nothing else ever existed? Things were "always' socialists and we get put into a one world China's Ghost Cities industry.

What are the odds that even two people would remember the little line that crosses the F in Ford as being different. Now what are the odds that thousands of people would have the same memory?
Virtually impossible. Someone is playing with us, or testing. These changes are not all random, they are always ambiguous, a punctuation mark, a double letter changing to single or vice versa. Never something blatantly obvious. They know we are watching changes in “The Wizard of Oz,” so they’re messing with that movie quita bit. I think it has something to do with Cern and quantum mechanics.
@@buddyrichable1 It might be the case that parallel realities are always merging into each other, always did.

My cousin taught me about Nelson Mandela when I was about 8 and I remember him telling me specifically that he died in prison. I was too young to really look into it but I remember the story.
So, honest question here, not an attack: if you believe that he died in prison, what do you think the rest of us are thinking who don't remember that? Like you mentioned your cousin told you about Mandela, obviously I don't know your cousin or the version of the story you do, so to you, do you think we're crazy because we don't recall his death?
I guess that's my biggest question with this phenomenon, what do folks experiencing it think is up with those who don't? Like the Berenstain Bears thing, I distinctly recall my mother calling them Berenstein Bears, by pronunciation, but I recall the spelling being "Ain" on the books and I simply chalked up in childhood to her Northeastern accent. (Mom was from New Hampshire) Many years later, a friend tipped me off about this Mandela effect, and even mentioned the Berenstain Bears. I wonder now if my mother misread the logo, if maybe she legit thought it was "Ein" or it was in fact just the accent.

They did reprints of the books in the early 00s. Does anybody have any originals from the 90s left over? Your copies may look old but could still be 2000s reprints which now is like in the 2000s having something from the 80s.
I don't have them but the dude from Cinemassacre did a video on this and he found his old ones and they say 'stain. He couldn't believe it himself.

you lost me at "aight... ".
sxsa, I think that is what is happening. I think we died a very years ago and keep shifting to different versions of Earth.
Joe I know this video is several years old, but to touch back on Nelson Mandela dying before his prison release..... I remember this happening because I remember my mother becoming quite irate at the fact her soap operas were cut off over the news cutting in to announce Nelson's death. It was even covered on Oprah. She was very upset about it. I remember sitting there with my mother and my mother saying if she's so upset why didn't she help to get him out of jail before he died.... and various other things that she was going on and on about. I even remember my social studies teacher at that time talking about Nelson's death. I remember during black history month he was celebrated. I remember Nelson's wife giving a very well thought out speech because it was televised. I even remember the rioting in South Africa being shown on the news and how frightening the images were. My entire family remembers this and not because we suggested things and kept a conversation going. My fiance even remembers him dying and it being talked about in his family and his school. I would imagine it the brain was that fallible, that millions of people would not be remembering this and with so many details. I also remember Berenstein, the movie Shazam with Sinbad, Curious George having a tail, jiffy peanut butter not just plain JIF, the Monopoly guy having a monocle because I didn't know what it was called and my cousin told me as I was pointing at the character on the box, Pikachu having the black mark on his tail because he did, my sister used to work in a pokemon card store and she remembers the black being on the tail too, Smokey THE Bear because it even said it on the commercials, There are many more, but my post seems really long. I just wanted to establish that I too remember so many of these things that I can't help but wonder why so many remember and with great detail and so many don't.
Every example you pose I remember vividly. All of it. Oprah, all of it. Sinbad. Soo many it can’t be false memories.
Damn yeah i agree with all of this. I don’t remember Mandela dying necessarily, but the other ones you mentioned 100%. I didn’t even know about some of these even being up for debate lol.
I remember Mandela getting out of prison, because that was huge news, I was probably too young in the 80s to even recall the funeral if it happened in my universe
@@Itsatragedeigh it would not be the case where people so adamantly confident would all remember it incorrectly with the exact same incorrect difference.
I don't even touch ones that I'm 95% sure on therefore I keep it in my close handful that I would bet my life on because we're not stupid.
Wait for movie quotes because you can't ever prove it, kind of.
For me Ford with the squiggly I remember vividly the first time I saw it squiggly and I thought it was just the XLT type version insane how I knew it was off and ugly what a specific time in my life because it was the first time that I could walk again after 3 months following an accident May May 2013 same exact day I saw the Volvo and thought what the fuck is that arrow on there for and I live overseas so we don't have many brands that would be juggling around in my mind and a few American ones. Kit Kat I noticed immediately and just thought it was a change in there brand or packaging. But wow it's like in my mind it's nothing but simulation because too many things correlate to always mean something and even the ones that I'm a little bit nuanced about especially this Mandela one is I remember him dying and thinking he was dead a long time ago........ What was he doing for last 25 years. I'm just saying I have a few words almost as if I was like there's an asterisk in my memory maybe let's say like the Gremlins was it Spike or Stripe and it's like I almost had a argument with my mother about it be way back in the day as stripe would make sense would it not cuz they got stripes down their back but Spike he had the spiked hair.
You know I have a theory on this sometimes people lie to themselves because they're naturally lying type people and they can believe a lie like if it's something that's they haven't thought about maybe for years or whatever but I believe that truly honest people that don't lie don't ever make up stuff in their head that's not real and I don't either therefore I think it's a the more honest you are the more convinced of your reality you will be therefore passionate about what you know is the truth and those of maybe easily manipulated or dishonest minds we'll just say oh yeah never mind I was wrong man when I saw this the first time this was like a week of all my free time trying to figure this shit out because it wasn't right and I still hold it as one of my truths I don't go looking up Mandela effect videos and stuff but I know it's something that will align with and did align with a restored faith in humanity at the time but I still would think it was sad kind of if it was a simulation which really doesn't point to that many ways and I think it's just a weird of course the simulation is going to lead right up to the point where it is it possible to recreate simulations just as real as reality and maybe it resets every 200 years I don't know to the point right before technology did that I don't know we could be one of a million little experiments artificial intelligence we may be who knows.
Groupthink... like when everyone around you says it's BerenstAIN when you KNOW it's actually BerenstEIN.
Yeah,the groupthink ones are the ones that DON'T believe in the Mandela effect!!
Nigga who' Berensein?
@@timhollis3390 you mean the groupthink ones are the ones who believe 100% their memories are correct, and any inconsistencies are due to parallel universes?
I vividly recall arguing with my brother as to how to pronounce Berenstain. However the argument we had was ..stine...or...steen never stain.
exactly. exactly, exactly exactly
Yeah, same here, which is why that one was so disconcerting. "Stine" or "steen," and also noting that it was "BerEnstein" and not "Bernstein" like Leonard Bernstein, the composer, or Carl Bernstein, one of the reporters who broke the Watergate story. With the -stain spelling, those arguments should never have happened, which means (assuming it's confabulation for lack of better evidence of anything else) it's not just a confabulation of the spelling or pronunciation, but an entire set of experiential memories that never happened and that aren't actually necessary to support the confabulated memory, as, for example, imagining someone saying something especially nasty during an argument so one can view oneself as the wronged party might be. And that suggests that our brains aren't just making stuff up to reinforce the consistency of our worldviews (and especially our self-perceptions), they're making stuff for no particular reason at all, which is a much more difficult problem for which to control.
It was definitely always “Barenstain” in my experience, however I am someone who remembers curious George having a tail. I literally remember an episode where the plot of the episode was based around George having an injured tail, and the man in the Yellow Hat took him out for ice cream to cheer him up. I also vividly remember Curious George hanging by his tail from the letter C in the title sequence 😝
How old are you though? Maybe you are younger than the actual “berenstein” era?
It was Berenstein bears.
@@candicedyer3902 yeah I know it was berenstein I was OBSESSED with the books when I was little.
I also remember all those things about Curious George, especially hanging by his tail by the letter C. It inspired me to do a lot of drawings of other animals entwined with the first letter of their name. Like E for elephant, L for lion, etc.
I always knew it as “Berenstain”. I find this so odd!
I don't remember where I heard it, but there's a theory out there that says if you can change the frequency your body vibrates at, you'll move into a different universe, like tuning to a different radio station.
I am definitely from the universe where the girl (Dolly) that Jaws meets in the James Bond film Moonraker HAS braces. No question.
this single handedly convinced me that the mandella effect is real
I remember that too! OMG, I didn't know it had changed....
LOL same
Every decision we make causes us to split into a parallel universe each time. So we are constantly jumping through extremely similar, but different universes. Everyone is doing this. That's why people can seem so different from day to day. It also explains Deja Vu and many other strange things.
As a South African 🇿🇦 Nelson never died in the 90s
Here's the thing for people who experience the Mandela effect. Without knowing someone I can predict every wrong memory they will have because we share it. Mass Hysteria requires local proximity and people who experience the Mandela do not share anything but the experience.
I'm almost 30 yrs old and in the 90s, I literally learned to read with the Berenstein Bears books and I literally had a lesson from my mom on how the 'e' and 'i' made up the sound "stein".
I never cared for those books much, I didnt care for the animation and the Berenstein family annoyed me which is weird for a 4 year old to even think. But that distaste of the books allowed me to hang on to the memory that I took from it, untainted by the influence of the world. Of course, I've lost plenty of memories growing up but my brain didn't create new ones that never happened with extended visual details like what I have over this event. So.. 10/10 can confirm - BerenstEin. Today is the first time I'm even hearing about this "stain" thing... WTF!
Another story: When I was approx 2 yrs old, my mother had connections to a friend who wrote my name in as a character in a single small-time Flinstones book just for fun and just for our household... I was unbelievably proud of this fact probably until the age of 6 when I started realizing it only brought embarrassment to talk about it to my peers. In my adult years, I asked my mother if she still had that book and she said had no idea what I was talking about. She said nothing like that had ever happened in my life... I could not believe what I was hearing whatsoever because so much of my childhood had been shaped around the existence of this book that she claims never existed... My soul KNOWS that it did happen.
I'm labeling it an alternate reality/Mandela effect.
The second story can be down to children's imaginations taking over based on one trigger.. Like if your mom might have told you once that you behave like a character in the Flintstones, and your imagination filled in the rest. It's why small children are very bad eyewitnesses. If you ask a child where they were before they were born, there is a chance they would make up a realistic-sounding story based on some story they have heard in their periphery.
Yeah, it's funny how everyone that hasn't had an alternate memory episode writes it off as some form of our memory being incorrect or made up. I guess that's the easy way out if you're closed minded.
Zelos i was born in 87 n for sure you are CORRECT
Nirmal Kirtisinghe If you ask anyone where they were before they were born they would have to resort to imagination, how could it have anything to do with memory? It’s not a valid point. Children do have strong recollections of significant events that remain throughout life. I know I have. He recounted a specific event that made an impression on his young mind. You are another “know it all” explaining the ME to us without thinking it halfway through.
Was it The Flintstones or The Flinstones? Double check what it is now and what you remember.
Wow. I'm with you. I 100% remember Bernstein.
It was Bernstein!!
No, you don't, John. You remember videos like this.
John Galt Jr Sorry, Bernstein? Did it change again? I thought the question was whether it was Berenstain or Berenstein.
The one that freaks me out is Darth V not saying “Luke, I am your father”

I want my millionnaire me to wire some money to me trans-universally. How awesome would that be?
But there might not be a millionaire you at all it could be a million homeless you's and thats why they cant wire you money
I remember the night I learned about this phenomenon. I was blown away by several of the more popular examples. I think the one that got me the most was from the James Bond movie moonraker. There is a villian nicknamed Jaws who has metal teeth. At the end of the movie he smiles at a young blonde woman and she smiles back revealing braces. Except she never had braces. I was so freaked out about this misremembering I had to research it and actually found there was a bank commercial cross promoting with Moonraker and the same actor was banking there. He smiles revealing his metal teeth and the teller smiled revealing braces. So weird how my memory had that wrong!
I don't think your memory is wrong. Just some weird stuff about reality that can't be explained. I have that memory of Jaws and Dolly too.
WHAT!? I thought she did too.😳 Didn’t they walk away together holding hands too?
@@snarfsnarfff My memory conflated a movie and a commercial. I was wrong and thats the explination. If you have the same memory as I have, same thing happened to you. I found the commercial on CZcams years ago. You probably could find it again if you looked.
That's funny the way you photoshopped up those Berenstain Bears covers to convince people that it wasn't really Berenstein. Good one...yeah...
hes not lying.look it up,but honestly i thought it was stein also
Kase 1516 I have child hood books that say stein they must’ve just changed the name
Or had two different production companies
thewalkingdead or from a parallel universe...
Yanis Amrani no. That is extremely unlikely so please stop jumping to that conclusion. It makes you seem both clueless and ignorant.
I specifically remember it being the Berenstein bears. I remember it specifically because my mother was dedicated to her children learning to read early and being well read people. Because of this, I loved those books and remember asking my mom how the name was actually pronounced and she confirmed Berenstein and she was educated and could most certainly read.
I worked in a retail store for many years, and we sold all the Berenstain Bears books. Sorry to burst your imaginative bubbles, but it was ALWAYS Berenstain... Period.
It only became Berenstain after a dimensional shift in reality.
OK, here's my Mandela Effect story. I went to college from 1978 to 1981. During part of that, I worked as an artist for a small technical publishing house in Arcadia, California. My boss, the art director, was a member of the governing body that determines safety rules for Indy Cars. This is important, because I wouldn't have paid any attention to the following events if it weren't for the fact that I was working for a guy who knew Mickey Thompson personally and he lived just up the hill from this office.
I have a very clear and distinct memory of arriving at the office in the morning and everyone was very upset that Mickey Thompson and his wife had been brutally murdered by two unknown gunmen who escaped on bicycles (he lived at the top of a steep hill, so, logically, this really made sense). I remember the the chaos in our office, since we published engineering documentation, and, again, my boss was involved in the racing community and knew Mickey and his wife personally.
This was while I worked at this publishing house when I was a student, sometime around 1981
Mickey's murder was in 1988, and by that time, I was well out of school, living in the high desert, working for an Aerospace company and had no contact whatsoever with anyone from my student days for years. I was so confused when Michael Goodwin was convicted for contracting this crime in 2007 and the story made the news again
This is super strange.. I remember reading the ending of the Book of Job ( Bible ) where it was saying that all his family returned back to him, this was so strange because in the beginning I knew they died, anyway, I said, this is messed up. I returned some time later and read the same Book of Job, now the ending was different, in this version, he had more children, same Bible!!
This is just one thing, I've seen things that today were there and tommorow they were in another place and all people could only remember that they were in this other place, not where there I've seen them in the first place. They say, this has thing has been here for years, can't you remember? I say, hey, yesterday it was here!!
I was walking through a near by forest, suddenly, I have this feeling that I see two super huge statues of Jesus Christ and Mary, when I turned my view to that side, there were no statues there, but I was 100% they were there.
I remember there being 46 us presidents I even saw on Donald Trump's Twitter that he was the 46th but a few days ago I searched on google and I saw that there was 45 us presidents instead of 46 and I was like wtf? I believe in the mandela effect.
@@abhijitthakur8936 45 individual people, 46 presidencies
I often mix up my memories with my little brother with those with my son.
I don't know what's weirded, remembering the spelling as "Berenstein" and suddenly discovering it was "Berenstain" OR being one of the very few people who actually remember it as "Berenstain." I am the second one.
Guess he thought it was Bernstein because as a kid our dumbasses was like stain? No that sounds dumb lets name them stein
Nice to know I'm not the only one who remembers the correct spelling.
@@Whydoyoucare_1 Not to mention our dumbass parents mispronouncing it.
I mean what if they just changed the last name just because they wanted too... lol u guys r thinking too deeply and takin stuff seriously
Reminds me of one of my favorite paradoxes:
If the multiverse theory is true, then there's an existing universe where it isn't.
Damn.
explain?
Spock: "I lie."
I think it’s possible our world is stuck in a contracting and constricting loop each time slightly different but simultaneously with one another. Our dreams are glimpses of that. Our Deja vu experiences are glimpses of that. The more intuitive you are and the more in tune you are with yourself, the more you see.
I specifically remember the Bearenstein Bears because when I was growing up I called them Bearenstain in front of my older sister & she corrected me, pointing out the spelling on the book cover. This was not my imagination, nor was it a dream or mis-remembering. I remember this specifically because about 17 years later My sister passed away.
I didn't know about the Mandela effect until my brother mentioned it. I was walking through a grocery store one night & saw a box of Cap'n Crunch. I always remembered it Captain Crunch. The full word. I dismissed it at the time to a name change only to find out later that the full word was apparently never used.
I have a theory but it has nothing to do with alternate Universes. My thinking is this. What if some how some faction in the world learned how to manipulate time & have been changing tiny things that wouldn't cause a time split ? Only a ripple effect. Changing small things that wouldn't have a large impact on our lives or time itself. What if Nelson Mandella was a large test to see what boundries could be pushed ? What if this has something to do with the LHC ?
Some think the experiments going on at CERN has sent the world into one of the closest alternate universes with very small changes and were now discovering them. They also predict more changes to come because CERN is preparing to go bigger and more of these tests so no telling what's next...
You're a moron
"This was not my imagination, nor was it a dream or mis-remembering."
Yes it was exactly one of those. The berenstain bears were never the berenstein bears. i grew up bi-lingual , german & english ... you would see a lot of "stein" names and americans always pronounced it "steen" ... just a thing you would take note of as a kid... and i always wondered why the bears where stain and not stein, stain actually being an english word and stein being a german word. all you people ARE misremembering. your sister might have corrected you, and you remember the situation, but she was wrong.
@@kosmique This is an actual snippet taken from a TV Guide back in that time. It is not altered. There are other examples if you care to search for them. I am not remembering anything & My sister was not wrong.

I remember Mandela dying and also when he was released and elected.
The lion laying down with the lamb thing is the one that really blows my mind though.
The lion/lamb one is easily the oldest ME, and it's still barely a century of human history, which was largely due to depictions in art throughout that period anyway. To me it just proves that people have always talked about the Bible more than actually read it.
@@punchline43 I grew up in a household where we attended Bible study groups and the actual book was read and discussed. Lion/lamb was there, along with a few more things that are not mentioned by the masses, that simply are not there now. I wholeheartedly agree that most people have never actually read that book, Christianity is proof of it, but I have. I recall the reading, and the discussions, the Bible has changed, not the memories.
Those that have eyes to see and ears to hear. The great deception is here. Be prepared. He's coming back.
this is kind of like memory entanglement where other memory collide with each other to create a new set of memory, and i think that is what is causing this effect
As late as I am to this dinner party, I still TOTALLY remember it being "The Berenstein Bears"! Human memory being as fallible as it is, I'm still glad there are others who remember the same.
Dude, it was fkn Berenstein fosho, but my phone says it's a misspell, it says Bernstein is ok tho?...
Berenstein. Not Bernstein OR Berenstain. My spell check has it right, but Google is messed up!
Dude this is like Rick and morty when they meet their other selves this is freaking me out now
What's weird for me is sometimes I can actually remember both the new and old memories.. as if the memories are merging. Kinda like in the Dennis Quaid led movie " Frequency ". When at the end of the movie the son played by Jim Caviezel said he could remember both time lines.
I think skeptics will attribute that to the suggestibility of the human mind.
=============================================================================
This ain’t got nothing to do with gaps in our memory. Someone has clearly done some time traveling
I wouldn't be surprised if I was from an alternate reality.
I am one who had a conversation with my mom when Mandela “died” in prison. It was the first time I even saw pictures or heard of the man. Lol I had no idea who he was so when my mom was so heartbroken that he had passed she had to tell me who he was. I freaked out when I heard that he had died in 2013. Everyone thought I was lying or acting... it was very frustrating! Later my hubby brought up the “Mandela effect Theory”. Just the fact that they had to give it a name that PURPOSEFULLY discards the personal SAME accounts of MILLIONS of people on the SAME topic... well it just says that there is SOMETHING behind it. I mean if you have to coin a term for something so you can act likes it nothing... well you definitely have some motive. I think it was purposely planted misinformation on the news. Maybe he was in danger or there was an uprising about to start somewhere and they needed someone to believe he was dead. Regardless of why, whoever is behind it deserve a big round of applause!
Ariana Steffeny that makes a lot of since . They could’ve put the rumor out that he died to protect him . Fake press . Or a publicity stunt . For his soon to be presidency . Your post put it into perfect perspective for me !
I know the mans history, and I could have sworn he died in prison.
Now, this makes sense on some level. I'm thinking about fake news, old style fake news, but still fake news. The reason being: distracting the people from a piece of actual news, which could have caused some kind of riot. I don't think it's that unreasonable...
@Ariana Steffeny, Intriguing theory. Bravo!
What about ELON MUSK?”
I do not remember him
He came out of NO WHERE

@@roblewis3147 🎯 THANK YOU ‼️‼️‼️
Oh, c'mon! Everyone knows that Elon Musk is an Alien. Alien authorized citizen.
I definitely remember it as the Berenstein Bears.. 150% remember it like yesterday.
It's also possible that your subconscious downloaded the timeline of that parallel universe, perhaps while dreaming. So while you never actually experienced that reality, your memory has been altered by that input. Now personally, I'm not a big parallel universe guy but I do acknowledge that it's possible.
There's no doubt that the books were "The Berenstein Bears." There's no way to question the Library's Dewey Decimal System of organizing books and the alphabet.😊My Mom and I both worked in the Public Library. I worked in the Children's Library room and I cataloged many books. I had to alphabetize "The Berenstein Bears" books. NOT Berenstain. There's just no way to get past the Library's Dewey Decimal System, since it was my job to know BERENSTEIN BEARS correctly. 😊 That's not a memory issue!
It’s not a memory issue it’s actually something your brain tricks you into thinking because it simply makes sense to be spelled with the e and not with an a
ReinaShine also I’d universes slided together we would still remember what was true because memory can’t be changed
s553 Yes, you say what I want to say much better than I do! It's not exactly "memory." I know what you're describing. Thank you for your comment! 😊
Suggesting that half the population has the SAME false memory is just ridiculous:)
A lot of things mess up with my mind like that but I figured they are all things I remember as a child. Back then I wouldn't pay attention and I retain the information the wrong way.
HOW DO YOU EXPLAINE KAZAM??? A film that never actually existed
I remenber that shit.
Kazam did exist it starred Shaq you fool. The movie “Shazam” never existed it falsely starred sinbad
i actually watched that too as i was stuck in a tiny caravan on a rainy day on our trip round australia.
Sabine Katsavrias You actually saw the movie Shazam? I remember the ads on tv about the movie, so I know it existed, but you actually saw it. Thats proof.
Robert R That’s my experience exactly. Thinking that about Kazzam is what
makes me sure about Shazam. It’s like when I noticed the Ford logo change before I had ever heard of the ME. I simply thought that Ford had redesigned it. It wasn’t until I stumbled across a video about this that I discovered the ME. Do you remember the North Pole being a huge ice mass in the Arctic Circle, or Bob Seeger having two E’s instead of the current one E. Cheers.
2020 here and I can't wait for my next timeline jump! This one totally sucks!
I'm a preacher over 50 years. I have tapes of Bible verses that I preach from. Almost 1500 vs super naturally changed in my KJV translation. The Mandela effect has nothing to do with memory. It has everything to do with evil.
I remember both, I remember hearing about him passing away then that he had become president but figured maybe I just mixed things up so now I’m not sure
I always remember rear view mirrors saying “objects in mirror may be closer than they appear” 🤷♂️ every other Mandela Effect I can kind of see how it gets confused in my own mind but that one has stuck with me.
Did it not say that ?
Joe needs to do an update on this coz the list of Mandela effects is huge now HUGE. Lots of things people vividly remember different versions of.
Everyone used to pronounce it Bernstein but I never really bothered to check. One just rolls off the tongue easier
the Mandela effect boils down to a couple of people that distinctly remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison and instead of thinking "huh, i guess i remembered it incorrectly" they think "I couldn't possibly be wrong! What are you, mad?!"
***** maybe there was a false news of his death sentence, or maybe a celebrity with similar name had died...
There are also pictures online of old TV Guide issues showing that TV Guide mis-spelled Berenstain. I'd be curious just how common that mis-spelling was. I know that one similar situation is an old, old movie called Taxi! from 1932. TONS of people believed that James Cagney's character had a famous line in it where he said "You dirty rat" but it never happened. I remember learning about this in the 1980s as a kid. I had never seen the movie, but I HAD heard a multitude of parodies of James Cagney and gangsters using the characteristic voice of that character saying 'You dirty rat', including Looney Tunes cartoons and other similar things.
I think this is sort of just like a super-sized version of that kids game called Telephone. The one where a bunch of kids sit in a circle and a kid at one place on the circle whispers a sentence to the kid next to them, then they pass it along to their neighbor, and so on around the circle. By the time it gets all the way around the circle, the sentence has been completely changed. In this case, someone with a lot of listeners repeats the original quote incorrectly, and that gets picked up and parroted through the magic of recording with perfect fidelity. So then everybody 'remembers it wrong' when all they're actually doing is remembering an incorrect repetition rather than the original.
One of the well-established flaws of the human brain and memory is that we suck at remembering WHERE we learned something. There's a lot of "I must have read it somewhere" or "somebody mentioned it sometime" if you ask people where they learned things. Another really unfortunate problem is that if you tell someone something, and then tell them that it is wrong, chances are very high that they will remember what you told them but NOT that it is wrong. So when asked, they will repeat the incorrect idea and claim you told them it is true.
My mother in a nutshell. But in all seriousness I’ve had something like this where I don’t remember my husband being in my year 10 English class. I can remember everyone else except him being there.
I thought he died in 1998 no idea why i knew he was president then died

You should do it hundreds of times to prove quantum immortality.
Lol
I've been in tons of crazy situations in life (i.e. MOTOCROSS accidents, high speed chases, explosions...) and was all around insane as a child yet never broken a bone. I'm convinced you dont know when you really die.
People are confusing Mandela with Steve Biko, another opponent of the apartheid regime who did die in prison.
James Burke Oh, wow. This makes sense.
I think you're right. I remember Biko dying and I remember Mandela being released. Just can't remember which happened first ;>)
No there not
James Burke Great movie with Denzel Washington.
Its crazy that people mix them up
i got into an argument when i was a kid about mandela dying. i was convinced id already seen his death announced (on tv) about 7yrs before his "actual" death. they changed something
The book “The Convoluted Universe” talk about how parallel universes work, among many other life mysteries. This world is crazy!
There is the theory that the Mandela effect started when the first quantum computers came out - and that there is a connection.
Third Eye Focus quantum computers are still mostly non existent. They’re mostly in small testing and experimental phase and there’s not really a true strong working quantum computer that has more than a few Q bits, mostly prototypes from IBM and such.
@@annamariemicono8680 wrong. Dwave invented fully functional ones and sold them to our friends at Google, Lockheed Martin, and NASA.
Yep. I totally remember it as the Berenstein Bears too.
I specifically remember as a kid watching the mainstream news on tv in Britain in the 80's and hearing that Nelson Mandela had died in prison. Then fast forward to 2013 when i heard he died again I remember doing a double take to the tv and being very confused thinking how is that possible when my memory of him was hearing that died much earlier. I reckon we are either jumping parallel universes or timelines are shifting and theres a whole bunch of people from a different timeline compared to the rest of those who never had that memory.
When I was 10, I was hit by a car and flung through the air. I have memory of seeing myself fly through the air which is obviously not possible but the memory is there and vivid as hell. To be fair, what brought me to a stop was slamming my head into a metal drain and suffering severe concussion and fractured skull. So...
What you're probably 'remembering' is being told about the incident and filling it in.
I'm one of the people who remembers Nelson Mandela dying in Prison...it being on the news and then ...he died again years later. I am interested in the Mandela effect as group memory but i am interested in other options. It would be good if you could do another video
Mentioning more of them as you only mentioned 2 although I enjoyed the thoughts you had on them.
I like to think that somewhere there's a universe where the most significant event in my young life, my 5th grade teacher isolating me from the other kids cuz I was "acting up", and I started writing stories and creating characters to alleviate my loneliness, never happened and I never pursued my creativity. Somewhere out there, there's a me that likes sports or cooking instead of writing and reading. Scary but intriguing.
i don't think it's a poor human memory issue. i just think reality is a lot more incongruous than we choose to believe, or are able to comprehend and continue functioning.
People get Nelson Mandela confused with Steve Biko.
I also remember the Berenstein bear's, it should have been named the Berenstein effect because I think more people experienced that. I remember the James Bond one too.
What is trippy to me is, this past winter i was at a friends house and we were playing monopoly, and i was looking at the cover thinking to myself, "oh they updated the guy on the box" remembering he had that one eye glass...
I definitely remember a monocle too. I didn't even know that he didn't have one now.
Einstein showed us 100 years ago that individual time is subjective. & If we can’t agree on time then we can’t agree on space (location) either as the two are intrinsically linked. Which suggest to me that everyone is at a unique time and space in the universe, thus a exclusive realities. Einstein also pointed out that when you travel near the speed of light your clock slows down and everyone outside of your time speeds up. Allowing you to hop years into the future. Which suggest that an overlap of timelines happens in nature and if you overlap time your overlapping space as well. Which could create hybrid realities like the Mandela effect.
I’ve always thought it was stein as well. That’s wild
Joe, I also distinctly remember it being the Berenstein Bears... like very distinctively so. So maybe we both crossed over here to the Berenstain Bears universe on accident
I lost ur account for some time (a loooooong time) and I couldn't remember what was ur channel called but while searching for Mandela affects you popped up and I just SCREAMED! So glad I found u again! Imma go now and catch up
I'll just leave this here...
Sketchers
(That's the way it was spelled in commercials when I was growing up and I had the shoes!!!) I know you guys gotta remember this.
I remember that. I've written it down that way because that's how it's spelled. I guess that's changed now to.
I've experienced people swaps to the point I feel I'm in an alien world.
Kyle Hill can you give any specific examples?
Same. That’s what it feels like lol. Sometimes I’ll go outside and it FEELS like everything looks “different”... like I’m here but I’m not. If that makes sense. Or it feels like something is about to happen, like theres an eerie “calm” to everything. Or the colors of everything look brighter. Idk man.
I wake up in a slightly different body once in awhile and I watch the movie snow White and the huntsman and it keeps switching from mirror mirror on the wall to magic mirror on the wall. And I own this DVD so I totally believe we are jumping from universe to universe. And it was Berenstein bears cause I used to try to teach my daughter how to pronounce it and spell it cause it was her favorite and we had the whole collection. It's freaky stuff but very real....things are happening we can not conceive yet.
Then go grab that collection and make a video? Because none of you that claim to remember have any proof but there’s plenty of us that still have old books that will prove you wrong
It's mirror mirror on the wall
@@shawnmcgarcia5714 no one keeps proof lol 😂 stupid comment it's like saying take a photo every time you do a shit
"Albert Einstain" killed me.
😂 I'm cracking up from this comment. I was just thinking that before reading your comment and a minute into the video.
Nelson Mandela died in 1989.
Lucille Ball died April 26, 1989; April 30th Guy Williams (actor) died and I remember thinking at the time, "Who's next?" because they say bad things tend to happen in threes, and the very next day (May 1st) they reported Nelson Mandela dying in prison.
Somehow between then and now I got shunted into this horrible alternate universe
Human memories are unreliable, huh? Millions of people remember the same thing. Hmm.
I remember Bernstein bears too.
There isn’t necessarily an alternate universe we’re living in the SAME timeline but it has been altered however we can remember original instances but not the altered ones, my theory is that some smart ass is trying to see what he can get away with
Creepy that this video was released on 20th June 2016. Three days later, the UK voted to leave the EU. Months later, there were literally _millions_ of people who would swear blind that "no deal Brexit" (the form of leaving with no agreement on future relationship) was "what they voted for", even though it was not only never promised during the campaign, but any suggestion that it might happen was actively dismissed by the leave campaigners as "Project Fear".
Sinbad on a floating carpet with a turbin on? 🤣 I swear he had played a genie I guess not lol
I so remenber that shit.
Not Shaquille O'Neal?
2018- and I'm lovin me some Joe Scott. Weird....I'm 49, doesn't seem so old, but at moments, a lot of moments, it feels weird to think that you, or anyone, can effect the moment of another person years and years from the moment of that contribution. And not just a single contribution but hundreds....thousands. (Just a reminder that you are making a positive difference in the world, especially mine. Thank you!!)
Me:
Mirror mirror on the wall, whose the fairest of them all.
The universe:
*magic mirror
Me:
😳
Everyone else:

I remember the big celebration when he got out of gaol. My school let us watch some stuff on tv. Then he was in the news regularly due to his work, speeches, hen running for and becoming President. It’s always mystified and saddened me that people thought he died in prison. I have always carried with me a small anecdote from his book about his imprisonment, where he talks about keeping his sanity during the long years of confinement. He kept telling himself that although his body was in prison, his mind was free to go wherever he wanted, and that helped him to bear the time and treatment.
