Some corrections from a list of common misperceptions:
There are no known cases of children having been killed or seriously injured by poisoned candy or fruit given to them by strangers at Halloween or any other time, though there are cases where people have poisoned their own children.
The word “the” was never pronounced or spelled “ye” in Old or Middle English.[105] The confusion, seen in the common stock phrase “ye olde”, derives from the use of the character thorn (þ), which in Middle English represented the sound now represented in Modern English by “th”.
Neither the Mafia nor other criminal organizations regularly use or have used cement shoes to drown their victims.[125] There are only two documented cases of this method being used in murders: one in 1964 and one in 2016 (although, in the former, the victim had concrete blocks tied to his legs rather than being enclosed in cement).
