Podcasts about Berenstain Bears

You remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison, the Berenstain Bears spelled differently, and Darth Vader saying "Luke, I am your father" — but none of that ever happened. From the JFK assassination to The Wizard of Oz, we're exploring the unsettling phenomenon where millions of people share the exact same false memories.IN THIS EPISODE: Do parallel dimensions really exist? And if they do, is it possible to travel to them? Two people have stories that might have you believing you can – one of them having “Lunch In a Different Dimension”. Meanwhile, a very strange phenomenon that has been reported by vast swaths of the population is known as “The Mandela Effect” which entails a mass misremembering of events, facts, or details. These can involve everything from pop culture to historical events, and often leave those who are faced with a reality much different than they remember in shock or bewilderment. Indeed, the history that you know, read about, and are sure is set in stone may not be so at all, and there seem to be alternate mysterious timelines of history that exist side by side with our memories and the reality we think we know. Could this also be related to parallel dimensions? *** While St. Augustine gets all the attention, a small island just south of the Georgia border hides a treasure trove of paranormal legends most people have never heard of. From cursed pirate gold and a ghost who slit his own throat to avoid hanging, to phantom shoes that wander between hotel rooms, Amelia Island might be Florida's most overlooked haunted destination.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Thin Veil Between Worlds00:00:50.456 = Show Open00:03:00.123 = Interdimensional History00:22:11.122 = *** Mandela At The Movies00:39:26.957 = *** Parallel Dimensions00:53:17.226 = *** The Ghosts of Amelia Island00:59:36.210 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakSOURCES and RESOURCES:“Lunch in a Different Dimension” by Jason Offutt for Mysterious Universe: http://bit.ly/2RXe3XF;http://bit.ly/2FSGH7r“The Mandela Effect” by Brent Swancer for Mysterious Universe: http://bit.ly/2Y3ZxCX, http://bit.ly/2XIOqQp“The Ghosts of Amelia Island” by Chaz CMP for Paranormality Magazine (link no longer available)=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

This week, it’s all birthdays and bull dodging with “The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Birthday” and “To The Rescue!”

This week, we rewatch the 1985 Berenstain Bears episode pairing “The Neighborly Skunk” with “The Missing Pumpkin.” We talk Too-Tall's first TV appearance (and why he looks nothing like the books), Frank Welker's very Frank-Welkery skunk, and why “use animals to teach anti-prejudice” never quite works the way creators hope. Then it's off to Farmer … Continue reading "Episode 495 – The Berenstain Bears And The Neighborly Skunk/The Missing Pumpkin"

You clearly remember “Berenstein Bears,” a movie called Shazaam, and Darth Vader saying, “Luke, I am your father.” But none of those are real—at least, not in this universe. In this mind-bending episode, we explore the Mandela Effect: the bizarre phenomenon of mass false memories. From psychological misfires to multiverse theories, we investigate whether these shared illusions are proof of human error… or evidence of something stranger.We're telling that story tonight

The Mandela Effect, named by paranormal researcher Fiona Broome in 2010, refers to collective false memories where groups misremember events or details, like Nelson Mandela dying in the 1980s (he died in 2013). Psychological studies, such as Loftus and Palmer's 1974 experiments, demonstrate how language can distort memories, while Broome suggests alternate realities or timeline shifts as causes, though these lack scientific support. Examples include misremembering the Berenstain Bears as “Berenstein,” Monopoly's Rich Uncle Pennybags with a monocle, or Darth Vader saying “Luke, I am your father” instead of “No, I am your father.” Historical cases involve myths like Columbus discovering the Americas first or Vikings wearing horned helmets. The International Mandela Effect Conference (IMEC) explores quantum theory connections, but psychological factors like memory fallibility and social influence are more accepted. While the phenomenon sparks curiosity about human memory, it can also foster distrust in reality, fuel conspiracies, and highlight cognitive fragility, potentially undermining shared historical truths.   Sources: International Mandela Effect Conference | quantum physics | 322 E Main St, Branford, CT 06405, USA.

From Yogi, Smoky, Paddington and Winnie the Pooh to Baloo, Fozzi, the Berenstain Bears not to mention the Magic Kingdom's own Country Bear Jamboree, pop culture is littered with examples of talking bears. But, fanciful though these characters they may be, there are genuine reports of humans interacting with an uncanny array of these hyper-intelligent carnivores… who, beneath their teeth, claws and fur, may be hiding an incredible secret The Cryptonaut Podcast Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/cryptonautpodcast  The Cryptonaut Podcast Merch Stores:Hellorspace.com - Cryptonautmerch.com  Stay Connected with the Cryptonaut Podcast: Website - Instagram - TikTok - YouTube- Twitter - Facebook

Bara inbillning eller ett människoliv som oförklarligt gått förlorat? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Mandelaeffekten är mytomspunnen och ofta omdiskuterad, även i Creepypodden. Men vilket är dess största offer? Är det Nelson Mandela, Berenstain Bears eller Arne Hegerfors? Eller är det i själva verket en blyg flicka i en skolklass i en liten stad någonstans i USA? Att döma av veckans avsnitt av Creepypodden är svaret glasklart – en historia uppläst av Ludvig Josephson och skriven av D.D. Howard som finns att läsa i original på Creepypasta.com. Creepypodden är producerad av Ludvig Josephson, som också gjorde musiken i det här avsnittet.
