Humans can remember things differently, but there are events or objects throughout history that a large number of people remember happening a certain way. This would be called, The Mandela Effect. The name roots from when a former president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela was in prison. Many remember him dying in prison, but he actually passed away in 2013 from a respiratory tract infection. People claimed to even remember news stories about how he died in prison. This lead to people believing we are in a parallel universe and things have changed names or events did or didn’t happen how they remember.
