Stock Image of a Creepy Ship because there were no cameras in 1748 The Lady Lovibond & It's Wreck- The Lady Lovibond was a three-masted schooner that was wrecked, on the Goodwin Sands, off the Kent coast of south-east England on February 13, 1748. This particular date was also a Friday the 13th which is considered a very unlucky and ominous day. The legend surrounding it and the reason its called a ghost ship is that people have seen it many years after its wreckage. Sightings and reports all claim that every 50 years after the wreckage, the lady Lovibond was seen by some ships and usually with an eerie white glow The story of the wreckage is that on 13 February 1748 the ship, which was captained by Simon Reed (In some reports named Simon Peel), who had just been married to a lady named Annetta and the cruise was a form of celebration for them. At the time, Simon and Annetta who were accompanied by their first mate Rivers and about 50 or so wedding guests were travelli...

What is The Philosopher's Stone? Many of you may have already heard about this legendary substance from places like Harry Potter or Full Metal Alchemist which is where I personally first heard of it. Amazingly, this alchemic legend isn't just for shows and fiction but is also a real legend and many people believe that it does or at one point, may have existed. To start off, What is alchemy? Well, Alchemy is basically the predecessor to modern chemistry. It deals with transmutation, which means changing of matter from one form to another the major goals or focuses of alchemy were attempting to transmute common metals into gold as well as many spiritual aspects such as attaining immortality and spiritual knowledge. Now, The Philosopher's Stone is a substance of some sort, usually said to be a red or white stone that is claimed to be capable of increasing the possibilities of alchemy to limitless proportions. The stone is claimed to be able to help an alchemist turn o...

What is a Ningen? The Ningen is a legend/cryptid from Japanese folklore about a strange aquatic humanoid monster. The word 'Ningen' directly translates to 'human' in Japanese and this makes it quite a suitable name as the monster is said to possess a face and limbs quite similar to those of us humans. They are said to be quite large with reports claiming their length to be approximately 20-30 metres and state that they have a very pale skin tone. The skin itself is said to be very soft and blubbery much like that of a beluga whale. The creatures also seem to be nocturnal and have shown to be most active at night when they come to the surface, possibly for feeding or breathing. Reports of what they look like are quite varying but all of them have reported the creature having a human-like face. Sightings/Evidence- Reports of the Ningen can be found from as far back as the 1990s but the stories and sightings mix up with some from more recent times so the exact date ...

What is the SS Ourang Medan? This theory/legend is not as popular as the others I've covered so far but is very mysterious and ranks high on my list of favourites. The SS Ourang Medan was a Dutch ship that was passing through the Strait of Malacca sometime between June of 1940 and 1948. It suddenly ran into mysterious problems and sent a horrifying distress call to nearby ships. The distress call was as follows, “All officers including captain dead, lying in chartroom and on bridge, probably whole crew dead,” after which there were some lines of unintelligible morse code followed finally by “I die.” This distress call was heard by an American ship, "The Silver Star" which tracked the location of the Medan with the help of British and Dutch listening posts. When they reached the Medan, they found that its engines were off and when communication was attempted, the Medan gave no reply. The crew of The Silver Star then proceeded to board the Medan only to be greeted by...

Bigfoot is one of the more well known urban legends that I'm sure lots of you must have heard about at some point or the other. The legend states that Bigfoot is a large, primate-like creature that walks in an upright position like humans standing at about 7-9 feet tall and there are assumed to be more than one in existence. They are described to be very muscular and covered in black or dark coloured hair. Most importantly, as the name suggests they leave massive footprints which are said to be as large as 24 inches in length and 8 inches in width. These creatures are primarily spotted in North America and are also known by the name "Sasquatch" While there are traces of wild man-like creatures from earlier times it never really formed into the bigfoot legend that we know until around the 1950s. This is because, In 1958, a journalist named Andrew Genzoli highlighted a letter from a reader stating that loggers in California had found mysteriously large footprints in the wo...

This post is about a much more recent conspiracy theory that took the world by storm and baffled many people. Along with the conspiracies, I'll also be talking about the overall strangeness of this whole situation. The Malaysian Airlines flight 370 was a passenger flight carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members. It was planned to be flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on the 8th of March, 2014. The flight was about 38 minutes into its journey and above the South China Sea when it suddenly dropped out of Air Traffic Control radar screens but was still being tracked by military radar. This kept on for about one hour in which the flight was seen to maintain its proper flight path until it suddenly took a mystery U-turn, shortly after which it left radar range about 370 km northwest of Malaysia. After going off the military radar, the flight was never heard of or seen again and nobody on board was found. After this disappearance, a massive search began which was the most costly of ...

Today I'll be talking about an age-old urban legend, The Loch Ness Monster. This Legend is about a creature that lurks in the Loch Ness Lake in Scotland. It is said to have a huge, elongated neck sort of like a giraffe, and one or more humps on its back which are usually visible above the water. It is estimated to be about the size of an elephant and has only been seen by very few people which is why it is referred to as an urban legend. Over the years the monster has been started to be known by the shorter nickname, "Nessie" This legend dates back many years and there are multiple sightings over the past few decades. The first recorded sighting dates back to the year 565 AD and was by an Irish monk named Saint Columba. He was staying in the land of the Picts with his companions during which he encountered people burying a man near the river Ness. When he enquired they told him that the man was attacked in the water by a large beast which brutally attacked and took him...

Just like Area 51, The Apollo Moon Landing conspiracy is one of my favourites and I find it very elaborate and interesting to read about. The Apollo is one of NASA's programs that lead to a total of 11 American spaceflights to Mars and supposedly also getting the first man to walk on Mars. Equipment testing was done in the initial four Apollo spaceflights and out of the other seven, six flights landed on the moon. All of the Apollo flights happened between 1968 and 1972 out of which the first actual moon landing took place on 16 July 1969. A total of 12 astronauts walked on the moon to conduct scientific research there. Although the whole Apollo project is considered in this conspiracy theory, ill be talking primarily about Apollo 11 which was the first flight to land on the moon as it seems to have the most prominent details and is also the most well known. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the 2 astronauts to go in this spaceflight and were the first 2 individuals to walk on t...

As you can guess from the title, this blog post will be about the stigma and conspiracy revolving around vaccines. Now, A vaccine is a substance that provides the vaccinated individual with immunity to a particular infectious disease. A vaccine typically contains a form of the disease-causing life form (virus, bacteria, etc.) and is formed by using it in a weakened or deceased state so that it cant harm the individual. The vaccine stimulates the body's immune system to learn that the particular organism is harmful and learn to actively fight against it as a form of practice, so if the body is infected, it will be prepared to counter the disease. Vaccine hesitancy is an unwillingness to be vaccinated or to have one's offspring vaccinated for an infectious disease even though vaccination services are available. The conspiracy related to vaccines can be said to be quite logical if you look at it from a certain aspect. It states that since the vaccine is made by using the diseas...

The first conspiracy theory Ill be writing about is the infamous area 51 and the mysterious things that go on in and around it. I'm pretty sure everyone has already heard of it in some way or the other but just a basic description would be that Area 51 is a highly classified United States Air Force Base that came to be after World War 2. It is located in Nevada in the USA. According to Public records, this is an open training range and is said to be used for the development and testing of aircraft. This specific base was kept in very high secrecy by the American Government and Military even though it has never been declared a "secret base". This is said to be because everything going on there is top secret and the existence of the base itself was only declared by the CIA for the first time in 2013. The conspiracies related to this base are vast ranging from aliens to time travel and even things like secret government organizations using it as their base of operations bu...

How many people are interested in reading about conspiracy theories and urban legends? Probably a lot of you. Now, how many people want to hear about them from a 20-year-old college student along with listening to his views about them? Probably not a lot of people but hey, I'm sure this blog is a great idea. My name is Aryan and that's what I'll be doing here on the Conspiracy Legend Blog! Because of the Coronavirus, most of the world is under quarantine of some sort and I thought this was the perfect time to do something productive and interesting with my time. Just a heads up though, I'm not a blogger and this is the first time I'll be doing anything of this sort. I chose to write about Conspiracy Theories because I've always been very intrigued by everything unexplainable and mysterious since I was a kid. The first conspiracy theory that properly got me into the loop of things was about Area 51 and how it had aliens back in around 2010 when people star...
