Creepy summer solstice conspiracy theories as longest day of the year arrives

dailystar.co.uk:

UFOs, violent deaths and conspiracies around the summer solstice are pretty common.Spooky stone formations and deathly aliens often haunt the minds of those who believe in weird conspiracies and strange, magical events.The summer solstice is on June 21 and related landmarks like Stonehenge have been part of those theories for some time.Crowds of people will be travelling down to the famous British landmark Stonehenge today, as the sun rises on the north east side of the rock formation, while different celebrations around the world will also take place.Senior pagans often get angry with others indulging in their religion-observing big orgies.

One real-life wizard told the Star last year that the day "marks a celebration of fertility as kinky witches show off their ability."Some people still believe in the magical power of the sun and the effects it has on our lives, while others are more interested in the history behind the often whacky theories.Here are some of the creepy June 21 conspiracies.There are plenty of theories over when the end of the world will be and usually people are worried about things like nuclear armageddon.Predictions about the mental state of Vladimir Putin and his arsenal of nuclear warheads get a few people worried, while climate change threatens us all, according to the experts.Plenty of people, thanks to the internet, blockbuster films and the badly interpreted ancient calendars, believed the world would end on December 21 2012 according to the Mayan calendar.Obviously, this didn't happen so some people put forward the theory that the world would actually end on June 21, 2020.Shockingly, this didn't happen either, but would have seen wild fantasies of massive tidal waves and huge volcanic.
