Mysterious photos

I recall reading about those two young sisters who photographed a fairy at the bottom of the garden.

It fooled all of the experts of the day and it wasn't until the last one was on her deathbed that she finally confessed to having faked it.

The cottingly fairies

The main supporter was sir Arthur Conan Doyle who said the girls had really discovered fairies.
Was made to look quite the tit when it became apparent that they were cutouts on wire taken from a story book

Edit: now with obligatory wiki link https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottingley_Fairies
 


Anybody got a pic of sir bobby's ghost at sid james park? Thats a mystery. Perhaps sir bobby was one of us after all cos his words of advice to the spanish messiah waiter didnt work.
 
Which for any intelligent person would be immediately on seeing the pictures.

Haha! Well, yes. Quite!
But despite creating some of the most amazing pieces of literature (I'm a massive sherlock holmes geek btw) the lad was clearly a sandwich short of a picnic with his blind faith in all things spiritual. He was already convinced that supernatural "stuff" was real, he then looked for cases like this to provide the evidence that proved what he'd said all along.
