Conspiracy Theories That Still Secretly Haunt Society

There is a more respectful quiet around theories about Amelia Earhart’s disappearance, partly because the real story is already brave enough. In 1937, Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan vanished while attempting to fly around the world. They were near Howland Island in the central Pacific, and the official explanation has long been that their plane likely ran out of fuel and went down at sea. Yet the absence of a confirmed wreck left generations wondering whether there was another ending.
