The Celebrity Conspiracy Theory Iceberg - Explained - YouTube
Transcripts:
The celebrity conspiracy theory iceberg is an iceberg of my own design where we cover celebrity conspiracies ranging from goofy oddball theories all the way down to the depths of the most disturbing secrets hidden by Hollywood's elite. Today we'll be adding four new theories to the iceberg. So, let's get into it.
[Music] In an interview with Howard Stern in 2017, Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan made a bizarre claim. He claimed that he had personally witnessed somebody transform or shapeshift into something else. Let's just say I was with somebody once and and I saw I saw a transformation that I can't explain.
The person transformed into something other than human. Yes, I saw it. You were talking to someone. They said to you, "Look, something's going to happen here. I'm going to show I'm going to morph into something else. Imagine you're doing something and suddenly you turn around and there's somebody else standing there.
" He didn't go into graphic detail, but was adamant about what he saw. Corgan stayed vague, but the implications were clear. He believed he had encountered a shape- shifter, something that could pass as human but wasn't. And in the most frustrating way possible, he's always kept the most juicy details about this encounter a well-guarded secret.
You're still standing by it. Absolutely. I know it happened. In fact, it happened twice. But I saw what I saw. Right. You saw it. It's your reality. That's what I'm saying. The second time you saw a shape shifter, where were you? Probably at Darcy's house. It was the same It was the same person. Oh, it was it happened. This happened with the same person twice.
Billy, when will you announce who this person is so I can investigate? Seriously? Uh, I wouldn't name names. Can you give us something? The person was naked. Wait a second. Were you in bed with the shape shifter? Were you making love? I tell you in confidence. Holy mackerel. Now I'm with you. It was a woman. Are you saying it was some a lover who will be actually sh I can no longer discuss this. All right.
Stern pressed him, but Corgan wouldn't elaborate further. The story faded into the background, but to those familiar with shape- shifter legends, it was a chilling modern-day encounter. Now, believe him or not, I can't stand not knowing more about his story. One of the major details he doesn't reveal is what sounds like the woman's identity that apparently shapeshifted in front of him.
And although this is extremely hard to believe, he doesn't really come off to me like he's lying. But I do find it interesting that he describes it as a horrible feeling and bad experience because his story speaks back to a primal fear that basically goes back to the beginnings of humanity across every culture and every era.
Human beings have passed down stories of entities that mimic us, that walk like us, talk like us, but aren't us. These legends aren't just curiosities. They often carry an almost instinctual dread. There's something deeply disturbing about the idea of a human facade hiding something inhuman underneath. A more modern interpretation of shape-shifting appears as a central theme in David Ike's controversial but influential body of work within the conspiracy theory world.
According to Ike, shape shifters are a reptilian race, and the actual shape-shifting process isn't so much physical, but perceptual. Ike doesn't just say that reptilian shape shifters exist. He claims they vibrate at a different frequency from humans and that what we perceive as reality is more like a narrow radio band.
In Ike's words, we're tuned into a very limited range of the electromagnetic spectrum. These reptilian entities allegedly exist in a nearby but adjacent frequency range, one that sometimes bleeds through into ours under certain conditions. Stress, electrical interference, ritual, even heightened human consciousness.
The idea being that the transformation wouldn't always be intentional, but could be a momentary perceptual lapse, a slip of the mask. So, what do you think about Billy Corgan's shape-shifting story? And have you ever seen anything you can't explain? Let me know in the comments below. And who knows, maybe you're not the only one who's seen what you've seen.

on April 8th, 1994, electrician Gary Smith arrived at his designated job site for the morning, a beautiful house on Lake Washington Boulevard in Seattle. He was there to wire the house with a new security system. However, when he entered the house, he stumbled upon a grizzly scene. This was the very house where Kurt Cobain had allegedly taken his own life 3 days prior, and Gary had just discovered Curt's body.
Now, I'm sure if you're watching this video, you've probably heard theories and speculation that Kurt's wife, Courtney Love, allegedly took some part in Kurt's death. But there was another young, innocent life lost in the fallout surrounding Kurt's death. Her name was Kristen FAF, the bass player in Courtney Love's band Hull.
Now, it is kind of important for Kristen FAF's case that you understand why some people think that Courtney Love had some kind of role in her husband's death. And this is all alleged, innocent till proven guilty. This has been litigated over and over again. But first and foremost, I think it's very important that many believe the motive is very, very clear.
Courtney and Kurt's relationship was reportedly in ruins. And it's clear Kurt was headed for divorce and was rumored to be working towards having Courtney removed from his will. Divorce would see Courtney receive a lump sum of around$1 or2 million. But if he was to pass away while they were married, she would be the sole recipient of over $50 million.
So here are three details that would seem to allegedly make Courtney look very sketchy around the time of Kurt's passing. The note. An infamous note was found at the crime scene at Cobain's house in Seattle. The bulk of the letter is written in Curt's signature cramped, compressed, tight lines, with the last five lines being in a bigger, almost looser style.
The reason that this is important is that the only portion of the note that really seems like a goodbye or a letter are those last five lines, leading many to the idea that someone had just taken a piece of notebook paper Kurt had already written on and added to it and then had it left at the crime scene to dress the scene and make it look more like a But the evidence of tampering got even more detailed and specific and heavily implicated Love the backpack.
On April 6th, 1994, 2 days before Kurt's body was discovered, Courtney Love had dropped a backpack off with her lawyer, Rosemary Carol in LA. Kurt had died. Her client was acting erratically, and after 7 days, Rosemary became a little worried about the contents of this backpack. So, she opened it.
And of all the items in the backpack, two of them stuck out to Carol. One of those items appeared to be a handwriting practice sheet in which Courtney had allegedly been practicing writing letters of the alphabet over and over again in various kind of messy styles. And as you could have guessed, under any amount of scrutiny, this handwriting matches up with the last five lines of the letter found at the scene.
The lines that make it seem like a goodbye letter. Now, it's important to know that based on what she knew of her client and Curt's relationship, the financial implications, and what she saw in the press about Cobain's death, Love's attorney, Rosemary Carol, was already very paranoid about Courtney. And this letter was like an epiphany for her.
She felt as though this was proof that either Love at the very least somehow had fornowledge of Curt's death, had the scene tampered with, or may have had him killed. The other item that stuck out to Carol from Courtney Love's backpack was a note that simply read, "Get arrested." Which is very sketchy as just a few hours after Love had taken the backpack to her lawyer, she had an OD and was rushed to the hospital where police found her with a needle and what they suspected were illicit substances.
She was held in custody after she was released from the hospital until the police realized that the illicit substances they had found on her person weren't illicit substances at all. And although Courtney may have ODed, she wasn't actually in possession of anything illegal. So, they let her go and all the charges were dropped.
But she just happened to have been in custody when Kurt passed. Obviously, being in jail is one of the strongest alibis you could possibly have. Now, we move on to the fact that the first thing Love Love did after she was released from police custody and allegedly ostensibly realized Kurt's body had not yet been found was make a call, an order, actually.
She ordered a brand new security system for rush delivery to Kurt's house in Seattle. Yes, the reason for Gary Smith even being at the house in the first place to discover Kurt's body was Courtney Love allegedly. Was that three? I don't know. I kind of forgot I was doing a list. Dishonorable mentions. Courtney Love's band Hull dropped an album one week after Curt's death and just 2 days after his funeral.
The album was called Live Through This and it would go multi-platinum. Nothing like your massive celebrity husband dying during your release window to push album sales. Courtney Love allegedly had an affair with the coroner that did the autopsy on Kirk Cobain, which is very suspicious considering that's the person in charge of determining both the manner of and cause of death being selfdeion.
Now that we have some of Courtney Love's suspicious behaviors laid out, we can talk about Kristen FAF. Kristen was the basist for Courtney Love's band Whole. She studied classical piano and cello and graduated from the University of Minnesota, majoring in women's studies. During her time in college, she worked as a counselor for SA victims and was an activist drawing attention to violence against women on campus.
Before she was involved with Hull or Courtney Love, she started a band called Janitor Joe. In 1993, Kristen FAF met Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain and moved to Seattle to join Hull in the studio to record 1994's Live Through This album. During her time in Seattle, she formed close friendships with Kurt Cobain and Eric Erinsson, a founding member of Hull.
And according to some sources, she was introduced to heroin by Courtney Love, who would gift her close friends purses containing the substance and clean needles. FAF quickly became addicted and dependent on the substance. There were also rumors going around that Courtney Love was extremely jealous of Kristen as she was kind of seen as this natural talent by everyone she met.
And Love became totally enraged one time after Kurt gave Kristen a book. In February of 1994, FAF entered a detox center for her addiction. And just after Curt's death, she left Hull and went on tour with her old band, Janitor Joe. During the spring tour, those around Kristen believed that she had really turned a corner and broken through her addiction as she was glowing and seemed very happy.
The tour ended and Kristen decided to move back from Seattle to Minneapolis. She returned to Seattle to retrieve her belongings on June 14th, 1994. and 2 days later she was dead. According to witnesses, Kristen had totally cut ties with Courtney Love and the band and only returned to Seattle to retrieve her belongings, only staying a couple days while she packed her U-Haul with her ex-boyfriend Paul Ericson, who would be driving back to Minnesota with her.
According to Paul, in this area of Seattle, there was a real problem with burglars breaking into cars. And so, since all of Kristen's stuff was packed in the U-Haul, he actually decided to sleep inside the U-Haul overnight. At around 8:30 p.m., Paul saw Kristen's former bandmate, Eric Erlinson, enter the house and then leave about 20 minutes later.
Paul thought this was a little strange, so he went back inside. Kristen was inside the bathroom snoring with the door locked. And this was actually kind of a normal thing for Kristen, as even her parents would corroborate that she would often fall asleep during long soaks in the tub. Paul, unfortunately, probably trying to maintain the respectful ex-boyfriend energy, went back up to the U-Haul and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, he re-entered the house to rouse Kristen and get them going on their road trip. But Kristen was still in the bathroom with the door locked. She had ODed on a massive dose of and passed away. Courtney and Eric's version would come up years later. According to Courtney Love, Eric was actually hanging out in the house with Paul, a total stranger.
when Eric heard Kristen snoring in the bathroom. Eric then instructed Paul that if Kristen didn't come out within 20 minutes to call him, although Eric wouldn't be available as directly after leaving Kristen's house, he went on a widely publicized first date with Drew Barrymore. And this was before cell phones, so he wouldn't have been able to be reached. Another perfect alibi.
And according to Courtney and Eric's version of events, someone totally unrelated to them or the ban was the one that brought Kristen the substances. Paul Ericson obviously disputes these claims and says that he never saw anyone other than Eric Erinsson with Kristen the night she died.
According to Kristen, when meeting all the members of Hull, everybody, most of all Courtney, was very accepting and loving and positive. But the longer she was around, the darker things got. Pressure to do hard drugs and a lot of negativity and jealous rage coming from Courtney. After Kurt and Kristen became friends, of course, Courtney Love accused Kristen of trying to steal Kurt from her.
So, is it possible that due to her closeness with Kurt and her inside knowledge and was taken out the last possible chance that Love had while she was nearby in Seattle? Or did Kristen decide to chase the dragon one last time and overdo it? Many fatal ODS occur after a user has gotten clean and decides to use one last time as their body can't tolerate the same amount that it used to.
It's not completely out of the realm of possibility that Kristen knew Courtney had something to do with Curt's death and that caused her to leave the band and that Eric may have been instructed by Courtney to give Kristen a hot dose. Is that delusional and paranoid? Probably. But Kristen Faf deserves to be remembered. It's an absolute tragedy that she died so young and there is definitely a lot of darkness and strange coincidence surrounding her and Curt's deaths.
[Music] On August 5th, 2022, 53-year-old actress Anne Hayes drove her car into a house in Los Angeles, which then burst into flames. 9 days later, she was pronounced brain dead and taken off life support as she was an organ donor and a compatible organ recipient had been found. But hold on.
She drove her car into a house? Was she impaired or intoxicated? And what the hell was that? This is one of those tricky conspiracy theories that's found life over and over again on conspiracy forums around the internet. There is no clear apparent motive for something nefarious to have been done to Anne Hash. But something about the footage, details, and narrative are so incredibly strange and off-putting.
They just don't seem to add up. Anne Hayes was also the ex of Ellen DeGeneres, which in the conspiracy community is enough to keep a theory alive for years and years. Apparently, Hayes had been involved in a small collision with a garage as seen in this video with her leaving the scene, although I'm unsure about the amount of time that passed between videos.
The Mini Cooper can then be seen in a similar looking neighborhood, both on a cell phone video on a doorbell camera video, driving down the road at a very high rate of speed. At the end of the doorbell video, you can clearly hear the Mini Cooper smash into the house, but many online users pointed out that you can clearly hear breaks in the video.
It's easy to miss as the experience watching the video is both shocking and over extremely quickly. But let's listen one more time. [Applause] The car is making a very strange noise and many online users claim that noise is only heard when someone is slamming on the brakes. But we'll talk more about that later.
Firefighters arrived a few moments after the crash. And in another bizarre detail, it took 59 firefighters over an hour to even retrieve Hay from the crash. That seems like another anomaly. Over an hour after the crash, this is the Mini Cooper. Over the radio, it could be heard that the patient, Hay, is pressed up against the floorboard of the car during and after that blazing fire.
The firefighters can be seen rolling what the media was reporting at the time to be most likely remains in a body bag. And after spending an hour in a burning car inside a burning house, that's exactly what you would expect to be inside the bag, remains. I'm not going to show the next clip without a blur because it's basically someone's last moments, but it is so important in understanding what's so strange about this event.
Shockingly, Anne appears to burst out of the body bag and reaches for the restraints at her ankles. Anne is then forcibly pushed back down and into the ambulance, an ambulance that seemed to stay at the scene for several minutes after the patient had been loaded inside. I don't know standard procedure, but it's odd with the level of destruction and fire that the patient wasn't given oxygen or any kind of neck brace to be transported with.
And the manner in which she is treated after popping up out of the body bag is odd. It was also pointed out many times over on various conspiracy forums that it was very odd that she was pronounced brain dead. As we can very clearly see here, she is not. Although I'm sure there's certain head traumas that can become more problematic over time.
Immediately following the crash, it was widely assumed and reported that the cause of the accident must have been substance related. As Anne fought for her life in a medicallyinduced coma, the police took blood samples to test for potential DUI charges. In a now deleted tweet, a D-list celebrity said that she had compassion for Haitious situation, but also wrote that it is clearly not okay to put lives in danger, obviously assuming along with the police and media that this must have been a DUI, but it wasn't. Once toxicology reports came
back, it became very clear that Anh was under the influence of neither drugs nor alcohol. I point this out because it seems as though this wreck was so violent and erratic that the authorities believe the only way it could have happened was a DUI. So to me, that's one anomaly that sticks out.
Some theorists online were quick to point out that H must have been eliminated because she was working on a film about trafficking at the time. But I find these claims to be dubious as the film was a Lifetime movie, was finished and released, and Haita's co-stars and the film's writers and producers have all seemed to move on with their lives just fine.
Because of the apparent breaking and strange noises caught on video just before the crash, some theorists made the connection between this case and the Michael Hastings case. To summarize that story, Michael Hastings was a journalist and was very outspoken against the Obama administration's treatment of journalists and whistleblowers and against government overreach in general.
In June of 2013, he confided in his neighbor, Jordana Thigpen, that he believed he was being followed and tracked by helicopters. According to his wife, Elise Jordan, Michael then emailed some of his co-workers, saying that he had been made aware that the feds were interviewing his close friends and associates, and that he was on to a big story and needed to go off the radar for a bit.
Elise later revealed this story was about CIA Chief John Brennan. One day after Michael sent those emails, he was dead. On Tuesday, June 18th, 2013, at 4:20 a.m., Hastings silver Mercedes C250 coupe sped south down Highland Avenue, crossed Melrose, and jumped the median, hit a palm tree, and exploded. There was a large outpouring of support and love for Michael Hastings from fellow journalists and the public.
But one day after the tragic accident, Wikileaks tweeted that Michael Hastings death had a very serious non-public complication. And former White House counterterrorism expert Richard Clark stated in June that Hastings car crash was consistent with a car cyber attack, making it very clear to many people for the first time that some elements within the government have access to technology that allows them to hack into cars and control them remotely.
This story was widely circulated at the time and resurfaced once theorists connected it to Anne Hesa's mysterious death. after it became public that Anne was stone cold sober the day of her crash. So, what do you think? Was it just a bizarre accident with strange media coverage and even stranger details? Or were the details odd because there's an even bigger picture we're not aware of.
Was Anha's death an accident or an assassination? [Music] Trevor Moore, co-founder of the sketch comedy troop The whitest kids you know, tragically passed away on August 7th, 2021 at the age of 41. According to the LA County Medical Examiner Coroner, Moore died from blunt force trauma to the head after falling from the second story balcony of his Los Angeles home.
His death was officially ruled as an accident with reports indicating a blood alcohol level of.27, over three times the legal limit for driving. Despite the official findings, Moore's untimely death sparked a wave of speculation and conspiracy theories, mostly due to Moore's own body of work. Trevor often used his comedic talent to go above and beyond, pulling the curtain back and exposing things like government overreach, population control, the exploitation of child stars by Hollywood, false flag attacks, neverending wars, and many other taboo
conspiracy related topics. After his death, users on conspiracy forums began speculating that Trevor's death may have been an assassination and pointed out several of his tweets as evidence that the Illuminati or shadow government must have taken him out. Here are some of those tweets. What if governments learned from the MK Ultra experiments in the '50s that trauma allows you to control people? So, they purposely orchestrate disastrous events to keep their citizens afraid and dependent on them. And that's one of the reasons that
mental illness has been rising. I almost felt bad for the royal family, but then I remembered it would have been nice to actually see Epstein go to trial. In an apparent sarcastic reply to a news story about the US Air Force developing micro drones, Trevor said, "Very cool. excited to see what the government will do with these little guys.
Trevor never held back, using comedy to spread conspiracy theories to the masses. The line between satire and what he actually believed seemed to be invisible. In my opinion, there's a clear element of heavy satire in everything Trevor did. But based on his body of work, I think he probably believed in most of the conspiracy theories he talked about, and he seemed to be constantly pushing the limits.
He even did a sketch on The Whitest Kids You Know, which at the time was airing on cable television, in which he spoke to school children about the moonlandings being fake, 9/11 being an inside job, and George Bush being a Satan worshipper. Strangely, years before his death, during his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, Joe and Trevor were, of course, joking around and in a dark turn of events, joked about almost the exact way Trevor would die years later.
Slipped and fell off your roof and broke a neck. That would be a sad funeral. That's stupid. All those details aside, when reading various theories on why he must have been taken out, I couldn't help but wonder if Trevor was allowed this long, illustrious career in TV and comedy, decades of saying pretty much whatever he wanted, why would the powers that be take him out after he had spent years and years calling out the Illuminati and the shadow government? Was it just punishment? Trevor made several podcast appearances in the weeks and months
leading to his death. He seemed to be very happy and well adjusted with a show on Comedy Central, a family he loved, and many close friends who are also talented and successful. A more convincing theory on what may have led to his tragic demise stems from a podcast appearance Trevor made on a YouTube channel called Drinks with Johnny just a couple weeks before his death on July 26th, 2021.
You know, I just I just bought a still. Um yeah, like uh so what are you making? I'm going to make blackberry moonshine. Dude, I've never done it. Me either. I'm I'm I'm going to learn. Um but I bought it. I I got the whole thing then. I' I've been learning about it and it's uh it's super dangerous, which I didn't realize. The going blind.
You're worried about going blind. Going blind. It's a real thing. Yeah. It's so it's like there's it makes all this ethanol and if it's like if you have six like or the equivalent of two teaspoons of of methanol, it just shorts out your optic nerves and they're just blind for the rest of your life. And then if you have the equivalent of six teaspoons of ethanol, you die.
Um, and all stills make ethanol, but what they do is they turn it on and and so you get like uh, you know, 20 bottles, let's say, or 20 jars and they have the heads, the hearts, and the tails, and you throw away the first five. That's how people get around the ethanol, cuz the ethanol comes out first.
That sounds super not scientific to me, though. With Trevor being brand new to distilling, is it possible he unintentionally became highly intoxicated, causing the accident? Whatever the case may be, Trevor's death was an absolute tragedy. And personally, part of the reason I initially dove into the conspiracy boards and the theories about his death right when it happened was that I just couldn't believe it.
It didn't seem real. I had been a fan of Trevor Moore since I was a kid and it just didn't seem possible that he was gone as he appeared on a podcast just hours before his untimely death. Thank you so much. Welcome back. Thanks everybody. Later, buddy. I'll see you tomorrow. Night. All right. Peace. raid is beginning. [Music] Guys, thank you so much for watching.
