Fear the crabcat

 


A clip from the “Why Files” about a recent cause célèbre on the web. In 2022, a certain Andrew Dawson posted a typical UFO-Men in Black-conspiracy story on TikTok, with himself in the role as the persecuted eyewitness. With outmost probability, the whole thing was a hoax for entertainment purposes only.

There the story would probably have ended, had it not been for the fact that Dawson suddenly died. Or did he? True believers claim that he was murdered or made to disappear by the Cabal or whoever is out there. Another speculation is that Dawson is still alive and faked his own death to get away from all the controversy his TikTok videos have created. Personally, I frankly wonder what the fuzz is all about, since the man´s original UFO story was pretty unconvincing to begin with. Maybe people just wanted to be entertained…

As a side point, note that the comic foil of the Why Files moderator, HeckleFish, is a conspiracy theorist and apparently speaks with a New York accent! Somehow, I don´t associate the Big Apple with conspiracy theorists, but sure, in a city with 8 million people, who knows what kind of strange fish (or apple worms) might be lurking in the dark…
