2016 Conspiracy Theories That People Really Fell For!

Ted Cruz Is the Zodiac Killer

While this fake conspiracy theory originated as a meme (i.e. a joke) many around the internet actually seemed to pay more heed to it than they should. While the Zodiac Killer was an actual serial killer who murdered multiple people in a series of murders in California in the 1960s and 1970s, this rumor was obviously FALSE.

Ted Cruz wasn’t born until 1970 so unless that is a lie and he’s actually much older than he claims there is no way he could have committed the zodiac murders! Because this one was started as a joke, it’s a bit scary that there are people who actually believe it.

WiFi Allergies

There is a new illness on the forefront, keeping up with the times. Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) is defined by an allergy or sensitivity to electromagnetic signals. However, many medical professionals believe symptoms of supposed EHS sufferers are psychological in origin. In 2015, a French court even ruled a woman could receive disability benefits due to EHS.

Allegedly EHS presents as a multitude of symptoms including headaches, mood swings, and skin problems. While it’s interesting to consider that within the current world we are constantly surrounded by electromagnetic and WiFi signals, doctors say that psychotherapy is the treatment necessary as opposed to any kind of medical treatment. Would you go without your WiFi?
