10 Crazy Movie Conspiracy Theories You Need To Hear

Movie conspiracy theories predate the Internet, stretching back to the heady days of VHS tapes, a time when word of month was the only way for them to circulate.

But circulate they did, and one VHS tape in particular enjoyed a spike in sales and rentals when this spooky urban legend reared its head.

In 1990's Three Men and a Little Lady, there's a sequence where Ted Danson's Jack is visited by his mother at apartment, and it became one of the most paused moments in history thanks to a creepy rumour that did the rounds in the wake of its release.

In the background, a blurry image of a young boy can be glimpsed, and fans jumped on the idea that this was a ghost, a figure from the afterlife just hanging around on the set of a live-action Disney comedy.

The theory exploded into the fore when a grieving mother came out and claimed her son committed suicide in that very building. Believing this was his ghost, she put pressure on Disney to remove the scene, which it never did.

The only problem with her argument, and indeed the theory itself, is that this scene wasn't shot in an apartment. It was filmed on a soundstage, and that spectral boy was merely a cardboard cutout of Danson, left over from a deleted scene.
