In history, there are a ton of very strange events which is exactly why there are so many different conspiracy theories because history is just weird. Conspiracy theories might be completely untrue, while others actually make a little bit of sense.

As usual, AskReddit has given us another infamous question that had yielded a ton of different responses from people. “What strange events have gotten swept under the rug like they didn't even happen?" is a question that was asked and so many people delivered the strangest events that they remember.

Some of these odd events were legal, monetary, government scams, and other crazy things that people either acted like never happened or forgot happened. It's no wonder there are a ton of theories on what goes on within the world.

People are kept so in the dark about things, but it seems that people remember a lot more than the government probably wants us to remember. Let's dive into this to see what crazy strange things that people acted like never happened or just forgot that they happened.

Here are 40 of the strangest events that people act like never even happened. Be prepared to learn some crazy events or remember some events you may have forgotten.

1. Rich men and women, don't forget.

Identifying all the rich men who participated in Jeffery Epstein's island..

2. Scientology is very weird.

The leader of Scientology's wife vanished after an argument in 2005, nobody knows what happened to her.

3. COVID Depression is something I've actually never heard of.

4. Phoenix lights are definitely an odd phenomena

The Phoenix lights. My whole immediate family and tons of people on the street we lived on saw the aircraft come overhead.

We all stood there speechless and terrified until it passed then the whole block freaked out. Nobody will ever convince me it was flairs.

We all saw the outline and structure of the craft clearly. It was so big and slow it was amazing it was staying in the air.

My hair still stands on end even thinking about it right now.

#5. This one is a bit more personal, but still messed up.

In my hometown, the police chief was accused of having sexual relations with an underage girl. The father of the girl was one of the officers on the force.

He was later found passed away near the property of the chief. People believe he was there to confront the chief about the relations.

9/11 happened, and the attention of the public got focused on the nation's tragedy. HE IS NOW THE MAYOR.

6. People did kind of stop talking about this.

Hong Kong protests

7. I had no idea about this, but now I know why.

8. Money is always used improperly.

The metric s**t ton of Covid relief money that was given to companies, that was misappropriated and will never be paid back, and is only marginally being analyzed/investigated. So it’s all on the US taxpayers

9. This is so sad that people don't remember things like this.

Nobody seemed to remember Ukrainian passenger flight being shot down by the Iranian government last year.

10. It's all distractions that are working in their favor.

Boris Johnson lockdown parties, he was on the verge of being forced out of the office and then, oh there's a war now we've got other stuff to worry about

11. My opinion is that we should stop messing with technology because it's smarter than we think.

12. Panama papers were never talked about.

13. I don't think I've ever heard about this.

14. Unfortunately a lot of celebrities have been accused of similar allegations.

T.I. (rapper) and his wife have serially drugged and r*ped over 30 victims. According to 30+ allegations. If you google T.I. it doesn't even come up unless you specifically search for it

15. Definitely shouldn't be legal.

16. I can think of about a dozen or morepeople who would've "destroyed" them.

Who the hell destroyed the Epstein camera tapes

17. This is insane.

18. Part 1

18. Part 2

19. I didn't even know about this at all.

20. A bit of humor to add into this list.

21. Politics is all fake and rigged.

On November 2 the FEC decided that foreign individuals, corporations, and governments can fund ballot measures in the US because they're "not technically elections". This is a staggeringly big deal that was pretty much immediately swept under the rug.

22. This is definitely not normal and it's weird nobody cares about it.

Starting last summer there have been unidentified snipers taking out random cars on different parts of I-10 in New Orleans and nothing has come of it and nobody’s really talking about it. I mean, gang and drug violence, neighborhood drive-bys, and the occasional Bourbon shooting are one thing to ignore, but interstate snipers?

Does nobody find that interesting? It’s still happening.

23. I remember this and I was personally affected by this.

Equifax lost the personal data of almost every single adult (in the US). This is data we didn't give them permission to access, they simply automatically collect it.

They are still in business. In September of 2017, Equifax announced a data breach that exposed the personal information of 147 million people.

That's out of roughly 210 million adults at that time. That's 70% of the adult population whose data was lost.

That's more than likely every single household in the US.

24. People literally just forgot about her.

Ghislain Maxwell knew many names, yet no one was publicly mentioned

25. Again, money is shady business.

26. Yes, "lost" which is very weird.

27. Well, I mean we all knew they were out there anyway.

I am pretty surprised how no one really reacted when the Navy, and pentagon said UFOs were real and we don’t know what they are, or have anything that can really match and fight them. Not saying it’s aliens and UAP instead of UFOs.

28. I have to disagree with this one, because if you use the app then you pretty much consented. We all know what social media is capable of.

29. Another one talking about "lost" money.

Donald Rumsfeld announcing that the Pentagon had lost $2.3 *Trillion* dollars, the night before 9/11

30. I highly doubt that was a meteor.

A bit random. But there was a meteor over Scotland that blazed through the sky, slowed right down, and changed direction.

That was pretty weird.

31. I don't think anyone buys it.

32. This is terrible. Those poor babies.

33. I feel like people are so used ot seeing crazy things like this that it has become "normal" almost.

The Las Vegas shooting. The worst mass shooting in America’s history.

Dozens passed away. Hundreds injured.

No one has any idea why this random dude stockpiled weapons and went on a mass murder spree. Or why he ended when he did.

We all just collectively went “I guess we’ll never know” and then forgot about it.

33. Another one talking about missing money.

In my hometown, there was some sort of audit and it found that 8 million dollars of taxpayer money were missing. It's a conspiracy now.

35. Ohhh, this is interesting.

36. This is yet another that I've never heard of.

37. Yep, this was a thing.

Random scary clowns in like 2016?

38. This is because the news is filtered and it's just a glorified social media. You'll probably learn more accurate info on social media.

39. I'm sure the government handled this one privately.

40. People love to worship people who have a lot of money.

Shortly after fans held a massive "Beyoncé Mass" worshipping the pop singer, she purchased a large church in Louisianna. Haven't heard anything else about these masses or what she decided to do with the church. But it has always bothered me.

There are a lot of these events that I have never heard of at all, while there are some that I remember but I haven't heard about in a while. It's crazy how people just move on to the next thing and forget about the crazy things that happen.

Maybe we are all getting too comfortable with the craziness of the world.
