## Resource

The Mandela Effect & the CERN Connection: Are We Living in a Glitched Reality? Kristin takes the reins for a deep dive into the Mandela Effect, that eerie phenomenon where large groups of people share the exact same "wrong" memory of something that never actually happened. We kick things off by trading our own personal favorite Mandela Effect examples; (the Fruit of the Loom cornucopia and the Berenstain Bears spelling are non-negotiable), before Kristin unpacks the strange true origin story: a 2009 conversation at Dragon Con between paranormal researcher Fiona Broom and a security guard named Shadow, which led to thousands of people swearing they remembered Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s.
