Connection: Valentine's Day is often seen as the day of the year where loved ones give each other gifts as a token of appreciation and affection. Many people add an emotional connection to the gifts, such as chocolates and stuffed animals, that they receive on this day compared to getting them any other time of the year.

Connection: While everyone wants to put on their best front in public, sometimes people aren't exactly who they act out to be. An example would be if there was a fight between students, and one of those students was widely known around the school to be a very kind and sweet person. Many would assume that it was the opposing student to start the engagement, when in fact it could've been the well-liked student who said something disturbing to the other.

Connection: In 1997, the night sky of Phoenix, Arizona was covered by large floating lights in a mysterious 'V' like formation. While the U.S Air Force tried to explain the situation as aerial flares, there were just too many eyewitnesses who denied that the flares matched what they had originally seen.

Connection: This video goes on to talk about whether hair product brands that promote being "All Natural" actually are; and whether the ingredients are healthier for your hair. From the video, it is discussed that many natural hair products contain minerals, which don't benefit the hair at all, and tend to cause flaking and dryness.

Connection: During the year of 1962, in Salem, Massachusetts, the infamous "Witch Trials" began. While there was never any proof of witchcraft being carried out during the times of the trials, many of the accused would be burned at stake in order to cleanse the town. In the video, it is said that nothing but the strange actions and accusations from two teenage girls caused the people of the town to believe that they were bewitched.

Connection: TV Show personality, Dr. Oz is a cardiothoracic surgeon who has a show where he talks about health and medical information, usually informing the audience watching about what's good and bad for your body. Many, though, are outraged as he lies about many things said on his show. An example would be when he once falsely alarmed parents that the amount of arsenic (chemical) found in many brands of apple juice was highly toxic. This was later proven to be misleading by many of the juice brands, as well as by the FDA.

Connection: "If you sit too close to the TV, you'll end up needing glasses," is something most parents say to their children when they are glued too close in front of the television. Contrary to popular belief, a study done by the American Academy by Orthamology (AAO) states that while being too close to the TV won't cause someone to need glasses, it does cause eyestrain. This, though, is safer for children than it is for adults.

Connection: Area 51 has been widely theorized to be considered a location where alien activity and experimentation occurs. This is due to the high security surrounding the base, along with the government being secretive about the true intentions of the area itself.
