Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsI've read a lot here about flat-earthers, but there are also people who believe the earth is hollow!
When I was around 6 years old I saw a large poster illustrating the hollow-earth belief in a barber shop,
probably somewhere in South Dakota where we lived for awhile. See search link below*
But then if you can believe in Gawd(s) or Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy you can believe in anything!

LOL at the hollow bit. We have a beat up old couch in our living room, and the batting underneath has come loose. One of our cats likes to crawl up in there for a nap. The only reason I know this is that she wears a TILE device on her collar so I can beep her if I cant find her - she loves to hide and is very good at it. Imagine my surprise the first time the beeping was coming from inside the couch. I never would have thought to look there.
