To find out more about the Mandela Effect Glitch In The Matrix Facebook group, we reached out to Admin Devon Kramer, who was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda.
Devon shared that he didn't actually found the group, but it was passed down to him by the creators. "One of the founders saw my 9vibesUniversal page on Facebook and reached out, asking if I would like to help this page grow," he explained. "She trusted me instantly and made me an admin."

Edit: I am not talking about updated maps/drift. The map you find everywhere now shows SA at least 1000 miles east of what I remember. The map showing SA almost directly under NA does not exist (and apparently *never* existed. That is what qualifies this as a Mandela Effect)
I remember picture A. Picture B is evidently where SA has always been located
"At the time I took over the page, it was at 12k. I started creating materials for the page and after a month, we started picking up traffic. The page grew from 12k to 30k," Devon continued.
"Every month, it just kept growing; by August of 2023, the page was at 69,000 members. This was the time that I decided to bring on some admins and mods to help. We jumped from 69k to over 300,000 in the first 3 months," the admin shared proudly. "Starting this year, the page is now at 360k and roughly 2k a day are joining! It has truly taken off!"

I remember impersonating that line, with Anthony Hopkin's accent, saying, "Hello Clarice" with my friends all the time!

Devon shared that he first became interested in the Mandela Effect after having a near death experience. "I started looking for answers to my NDE, and I stumbled across the image that CERN released of a man holding a sign that says 'Bond1' and 'Mandela' below it, and this led me to learning about the Mandela Effect."

The admin also noted that his favorite example of the Mandela Effect is the Lion and the Lamb. "I was raised in the church, I am a Leo, and the Lion of Judah was a powerful statement in my house," Devon explained. "So when I looked and saw that today it says the 'wolf will lie with the lamb,' I was completely floored! I actually collected over 100 Bibles from churches, my parents' libraries, and even friends, and every single book said the 'wolf'. It was then that I started to realize things are not as they seem."

At the end of the show there is a song called
"The song that NEVER ends"
It's one of those daft songs that gets stuck in some part of your brain that pops out from time to time 🤣
I was singing it last week as my daughter and I were talking about kids shows from when I was younger. She wanted to see it, so I went to YouTube and typed "the song that never ends"
As expected it shows up, only now the lyrics are
"this is the song that DOESN'T end"!!!! It doesn't even sound right!!

Devon also shared some background on the Mandela Effect. "The Mandela Effect was coined in 2009 by a woman named Fiona Broome. She noticed that a large amount of people remembered Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s, but not only did he not die, he was released from prison in 1990 and died in 2013," the admin explained.
"So how could so many have believed he died in prison?" Devon asks. "This is when the term came about to explain when a large majority of people remember something the same exact way even though in our timeline it did not happen."

Devon pointed out a few other classic examples of the Mandela Effect as well. "Millions remember 'Mirror mirror on the wall,' yet when you look at the movie, it is 'Magic mirror on the wall'. Millions remember the Monopoly man having a monocle; there are even movies that reference this, such as Ace Ventura, yet all the board games show that he never had a monocle," he shared.
"Millions remember the famous line 'Luke, I am your father.' T-shirts were made, posters, stickers, and catchphrases, and yet when you watch the movie, he says 'No, I am your father,'" Devon continued.

But one thing that happened for me is something that no one else might not have experienced, or at least I haven't read an account about what I'm going to share. Now some of you older people might remember the early disco song "Rock Your Baby" which was by George Maccrae in 1974. It was a huge hit at the time. Now here is were it gets interesting to me. In 1986 I was at my mothers house eating lunch and I was reading the newspaper. There was an article about the death of George Maccrae and that he had died of cancer. I was very saddened upon reading this. His song Rock Your Baby was a song that I really loved and anytime I ever heard it it just made me feel good. So the years following I was always saddened to know that George was no long with us. Now before I go any further you need to know that I know quite a bit about music and 1970s music is my specialty. So I have always been the guy that when it comes to 1970s music that when there is a trivia contest etc I win. It was a few years back that all of a sudden I became aware that George Maccrae isn't dead. He didn't die ans he's alive and well and he was still singing. I was really shocked because I know damned well I had read his obituary article in the newspaper in 1986. I went years just knowing he was no longer alive and now all of a sudden he is alive. Well I'm glad he still is but I cannot explain this. If I had been in a triva contest about music I would have said he died in 1986 of cancer.
As far as why the Mandela Effect exists, Devon says he personally believes it comes from a societal drive for a shift. "The method that the shift happens is far less important than the reason it happened," he noted. "The Mandela Effect is the first crack in our reality to realize that things are not as we think they are."
"Even the most modern physicists today, after the 2022 Nobel Prize, now agree that physicality does not define reality," the admin added. "We are changing, and this is the first step to seeing that it is possible."
