According to All That’s Interesting, Sherry Shriner was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1965. She went on to attend Kent State University where she studied a handful of subjects including Criminal Justice, Political Science, and Journalism. Some of her studies became useful around a decade after she graduated in 1990 when she started pedaling a set of conspiracy theories online.
Shriner began espousing views that a New World Order comprised of shape-shifting, reptilian aliens were seeking to take over the planet. To do this — at least, according to Shriner — the aliens were masquerading as politicians and other prominent public figures tasked with doing the bidding of their overlords. “We’ve been seeing it on a massive scale,” she said in 2016. “Celebrities, news announcers, even people in commercials. Everybody you see on TV, about 90%, is a clone or a synthetic robotoid.”

Shriner began spreading her beliefs through websites, and then eventually by way of YouTube videos and podcasts. Through these media, she was able to tap into a somewhat small, but extremely dedicated audience. As time when on, her ideology shifted from being a fringe conspiracy theory to a pseudo-religion with vampires, demons, and zombies sprinkled in for good measure (via NJ.com).
