This brings back memories of reading my library's entire section of books about UFOs, Nessie, yeti, ghosts, and assorted "mysteries of the unexplained" when I was about ten. I was a pretty gullible kid, but my parents humored me with a visit to Loch Ness when we went to the UK, and I was thrilled. I'm glad I saw it before I realized that lake monsters are logs, deer, sturgeon, and outright frauds.
That said, I still love conspiracy theories for the sheer stretches of imagination and the things they say about the people who believe them. Sure, we all know that historians conspired to add a few centuries to the calendar, but was that to cover up the Black Knight satellite or the hollow moon?
Are there any conspiracy theories you still believe? I halfway buy the October Surprise, considering what we now know about the Reagan years.
