I love a great conspiracy theory. Tales and fables passed along from person to person. Sometimes they’re made up and sometimes they’re just so wacky that they’re almost believable. There are also some that have traveled from ear to ear so often that the fable becomes fact to many.
They posed the question on Reddit and here are just a few of some favorite conspiracy theories about Spokane, Washington.
Here are a few random ones.
Sativadom2: That Spokane is some sort of “Test City” for social engineering projects.
Spayce_Case: Jimmy Marks put a curse on City Hall and that’s why we didn’t have a 2 term mayor for so long.

Dream_Song14: That Evel Knievel rode around town on a motorcycle delivering cocaine for mobsters.
Skinem1: That Butch Cassidy didn’t die in Bolivia but died of old age in Spokane. His sister lived in Spokane and not long before she died in the 60s or 70s she claimed that. If i remember right she even produced some pictures.

NewBeach6930: Minnehaha Park and why the children ghosts are there? The building was and old brewery back in the 1900’s, not an orphanage that typically people claim to explain why the ghosts are all children there.

LOOK: 50 famous memes and what they mean
With the infinite number of memes scattered across the internet, it’s hard to keep track. Just when you’ve grasped the meaning of one hilarious meme, it has already become old news and replaced by something equally as enigmatic. Online forums like Tumblr, Twitter, 4chan, and Reddit are responsible for a majority of meme infections, and with the constant posting and sharing, finding the source of an original meme is easier said than done. Stacker hunted through internet resources, pop culture publications, and databases like
Know Your Meme to find 50 different memes and what they mean. While the almost self-replicating nature of these vague symbols can get exhausting, memes in their essence can also bring people closer together—as long as they have internet access.
