Since 2017, at least six murders have been tied to lizard-people theories. In this episode of ‘Alternate Reality’, we break down the connection between alleged outer-space lizards and these crimes.
The Internet has ushered in an era of information overload, but it comes at a cost and ‘the truth’ is more subjective and contested than ever before. In ‘Alternate Reality’, we examine corners of the internet where conspiracy theories about the world have started to have a real impact on society.
