Michael Drane (@upcmd) & Ryan Lee sit down to discuss this mindf*ck social phenomenon where the public has a false memory about certain things. The term "Mandela Effect" was first coined in 2013 after Nelson Mandela's death, because many people mis-remember him dying in prison in the 1980s. There are many examples of this, and the conversation surrounding the Mandela Effect has even escalated to the possibility of alternate realities and parallel universes. What are YOUR thoughts?   show notes- http://www.upcpodcast.com/archive1/mandelaeffect

Hello, my name is Michael Drane, I am a licensed psychotherapist with a background in forensics. I spent several years diagnosing evaluating and treating people who who were found not guilty for criminal behavior by reason of insanity. Thank you for tuning in to Unpopular Culture. You are listening to "the Stabbing for SlenderMan," the infamous and recent story about about two twelve year old girls who tried to murder their friend in the name of the fictional internet character, SlenderMan. In what is NOW known as the SlenderMan Trial, their case has made national news as Anissa Weir and Morgan Geyser were both found NOT GUILTY for attempted first-degree homicide on the basis of being mentally-ill, specifically suffering from Shared Psychotic Disorder.  Show Notes —> http://www.upcpodcast.com/archive1/Slenderman
