What are conspiracy theories? Conspiracy theories are basically theories that have some type of basis that could or could not be true. For example, there is a conspiracy theory going around about Beyoncé Knowles being a part of the Illuminati, that Tupac is living in Cuba, and that Selena Quintilian’s father and Yolanda Saldivar were working together to kill her. There are so many conspiracy theories around the world that they could be true, but they don’t really have that much basis at the end of the day. One of the conspiracy theories that I find very interesting is the one about Walt Disney.

You might be asking yourself, “What is the Walt Disney conspiracy?” The Walt Disney conspiracy is about how Walt Disney’s corpse is supposedly frozen in a cryogenic chamber containing liquid nitrogen to be revived at a later date. Others have said that his body is under the Pirates Of The Caribbean attraction at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. 

“Why did this conspiracy theory start?” Great question. This conspiracy theory started because a man named James Bedford wanted to be the very first person to be cryogenically preserved in 1967. A lot of people pointed out that Walt Disney’s corpse was around the area of the preserving place in California, which made it likely that he could have been the person preserved. People also pointed out that Bedford was frozen for only a month after Disney’s passing which made it seem like this theory really could be true.

“Who was rumored to be the person who froze Walt Disney’s body?” The person to be proclaimed as the one who froze Walt Disney is the former president of the Cryonics Society of California, Bob Nelson. Nelson was in the room when Glendale Community College professor James Bed ford became the world’s first cryogenically preserved human in 1967. From Nelson’s point of view, “My goal was not to freeze people. But to do research. We wanted research and recognition.” To him it wasn’t about the fame but he wanted people to be like “he did that” you know. 

Do you think that this conspiracy theory is true or a lack of basis? I think that this theory is not true and will never be in the slightest. This theory doesn’t really lack basis because it was very convenient for those people to be in the same area around the same time. I feel like the theory could be true but its not. It would be cool if this theory was true though because I bet you a lot of people would pay extra money to go see his preserved body hidden under the Pirates of The Caribbean attraction in Disneyland in Anaheim, California.
