Although I am scared to find out it may be a hoax...Either way it is interesting, and I cannot wait to see what others may think or know on the actual video!; ▶ Reply to This

No bubbles bursted, lol I always prefer truth to B.S. It was interesting work, but I figured as much. What do you think of the little girls in England who claimed to have snapped pictures of Faeries in Cottingley in 1917? I think that was one of the most elaborate hoaxes of all time, they even made a movie about it not long back. People still argue about it, despite the fact one of the little girls confessed the the pictures were fake. The argument seems to be something along the lines of the girls admitting it for the good of the Fairies themselves, they were evidently "paper cut outs" according to BBC news...I don't know, sitting here looking at the pictures, it seems like some very very good art work for 10 and 17 year old girls.; ▶ Reply to This

Did you happen to read the link she attached with her comment.I was rather amazed..not to the fact that they didn't exit but more so that someone would provide such a hoax because "People would believe"....ahhh welll!! It is interesting as to how far our minds will let us travel... I know within myself I WANT to believe it's all true, but then again with all the BS that is out there how can we..I guess it's our choice and our opinion as to how we choose to reflect on the past and what we believe!

Just curious,, wanting to find out more and maybe I had missed a movie?

I have seen the photos you speak of. And I think they are way too "perfect" to have been faked. Technology was not advanced enough at that time and I do not feel that the two girls had that kind of ability. I may be wrong - I have been before.
I was raised believing in the 'Little People'. And though I have never personally seen any of them, I have had one too many incidents of unexplained occurrences to not believe.

Well at least for the two girls I think, if it was a hoax, then I think they had some help.; ▶ Reply to This

My experiences of them are closer to some of the tales of lugh and company from the old days. getting on their bad side is like sticking your finger in a light socket with a baseball bat kicker to the groin...but then that was just my experience....The positive experiences did make me feel warm and fuzzy...more like too many pints of Guinness...; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Phoenix on April 10, 2009 at 9:33am: Here is a link for the five photographs. The girls later admitted that the photos were faked however, one girl (Frances) maintained until her death that the 5th photograph "sunbath" was real. I find it interesting that Frances continued to insist on the reality of the 5th photograph. Frances was the one who first saw the fairies, the other girl Elsie later claimed she saw them as well. The first 4 photos seem obviously fake to me, however, the 5th I am unsure about.
