Nelson Mandela Died in Prison?

Nelson Mandela died in prison, long before his loss on December 5th, 2013.

Many people — perhaps thousands — seem to believe that.

That’s where the title of this website and my upcoming book, The Mandela Effect, came from.

See, I thought Nelson Mandela died in prison. I thought I remembered it clearly, complete with news clips of his funeral, the mourning in South Africa, some rioting in cities, and the heartfelt speech by his widow.

Then, I found out he was still alive.

My reaction was sensible, “Oh, I must have misunderstood something on the news.”

I didn’t think about it again for many years, until — in the VIP suite at Dragon*Con — someone casually mentioned that many people “remember” when Nelson Mandela died in prison.

That caught my attention in a hurry.

One thing led to another, and I discovered a large community of people who remember the same Mandela history that I recall.

Others have similar “false” memories. One of the most recent and prevalent is the death of Billy Graham. Though some claim that people are confusing that with Mr. Graham’s retirement, or perhaps the televised funeral of Mr. Graham’s wife, those who clearly remember the events disagree heartily.

However, it’s not just deaths. People have told me about a variety of odd conflicts between their vivid memories and the world they’re currently living in.

During Dragon*Con 2010, someone insisted that he remembered a Star Trek episode that — according to one star of the show — was never filmed. The person who remembered the alternate episode wasn’t weird or wild-eyed… he was a very normal person, and only referenced the episode as part of a routine conversation.

I was there when he heard that the episode never existed. He was stunned, and quickly tried to find a logical explanation for his “faulty” memory.

Another quirky “false” memory involves the preview and pre-release of the sequel to the movie, Avatar.

These aren’t simple errors in memory; they seem to be fully-constructed incidents (or sequential events) from the past. They exceed the normal range of forgetfulness.

Even stranger, other people seem to have identical memories.

This website — and my upcoming book — explore the possibilities of parallel realities, quantum science, real-life “Sliders” experiences, and alternate history.

If you’ve experienced something like this, I invite you to leave a comment (see the Major Memories page and links, so you’re current on other’s reports) or contact me directly.

If you believed that Nelson Mandela died in prison — long before his passing (in this timestream) on 5 December 2013 – or you have similar memories of a “different” past, let me know.

Both my wife and I remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison. Included in this memory are the funeral snippets on TV and a legal flap over book rights involving his Widow. We also remember that David Soul of the 70′s show Starsky and Hutch comiting suicide on or near christmas because he was dispondant over his wife’s cancer! Even news reports of relatives and police discovering his body underneath the christmas tree. You can imagine myself and my wife’s reaction when we saw David Soul make an appearance as a cameo on the remake of Starsky and Hutch movie. We sat in silence and stunned by the revelation that Mr. Soul was indeed alive. Do you feel that these so called false memories just might be a shadow effect or “bleed through” of events in a parallel universe?

I too recall years ago Mandela passing away in prison ...
here's some more incidents relating to Mandela

quote;
The news keeps getting stranger and stranger! The interpreter at Mandela funeral giving sign language is being called schizophrenic. Said he heard voices and saw angels descending from heaven. If that weren’t enough, there is a tomb of an ‘unknown’ leader, and the date of a ‘risen’ God! Could it be Adad,whose number is 666? And it has everything to do with this ‘sun worship’ going on right now! This is a must-see!

Yeah, I question how that strange non-deaf language translator got up there in the first place. I too think he really was translating, but for who or what? Wish wio would check that item out, if it was some valid attuki language she of all people would probably know.

Some comments under it raised some questions. Like maybe they kept him on life support so he could die on a certain day or be buried on a certain day or so all the dignitaries could be there.

Personally the only thing that comes to my mind is the image of Nelson Mandela and the notion of Apartheid. Otherwise I have scarce little info where he is concerned and know nothing about his death past or present. I don't entirely understand what Apartheid is, never ventured into a FAQ about it and though I've read more than a few references I don't recall any writer summarizing just what it was.

But that's only my own personal take but as for the memory thing that clicks a bell. Off the top I thought of the missing (unaccounted for) thunderbird picture as mentioned on these webpages:

Quote:
 
In Mark A. Hall’s book, Thunderbirds: America’s Living Legends of Giant Birds, he examines the alleged photographic evidence for these cryptid birds in depth. At the end of his discussion, he writes: “The status of the infamous ‘Thunderbird photograph’ has remained the same for years. A lot of people think they have seen the picture. Everyone wants to see it. But no one can produce a copy.”

I posted about this a few years ago or so and a member from our community was sure she'd seen it and had it in a book around her house and said she'd post it as soon as she found it.

strangely i cannot find any information about the author, other than she wrote two books, one titles The Story of America, and Mysteries of the Unexplained.
Strange enough her book was hosted by readers digest....
wouldnt you think that readers digest would have some information on the topic, if so hopefully other people throughout the printing of the book saw the picture.
i cannot seem to find any pictures or a authors profile on her anywhere.
it seems as if the only evidence of her existing is her books.

maybe with enough research someone can find her email address and ask her a few questions, if shes willing to

^^^ One person's take there seem to be others.


Just happened on this post today:

is Walter Cronkite dead?; i thought he was...

seriously, i remember seeing the news items on tv stating he had died, IN HIS SLEEP.
i remember thinking christie brinkley would be on tv soon talking about how wonderful her father was and also how we would be soon seeing short bios on the man.
i dont think shes all that attractive imo, btw, but i felt kinda bad for her anyway.
i was glad he went peacefully.

GLP has that timeline thread where they talk about things that people remember that others remember as well but have now CHANGED.

does anyone here remember seeing or hearing about walter cronkite dying in the past two years?
i swear i do.
this is really bugging me as i KNOW i saw his death announced!
i looked him up and they say hes alive and well at the age of 97.
