History's Greatest Hoaxes
- When Two Little Girls Convinced the World that Fairies Existed
Known as ''The Cottingley Fairies,'' this was one of a series of photos taken by two young cousins in 1917. The images were an instant sensation, even fooling Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who viewed them as clear proof of the existence of fairies. It wasn't until 1983 that the two girls finally admitted that they faked the photos by using cardboard cutouts. Still looks like a cool party, though.
- The Cardiff Giant
In 1869, George Hull created a fake 10-foot-tall petrified man, then buried and exhumed it from his cousin's back yard in Cardiff, NY. Upon ''discovery'' of the giant, they immediately began charging spectators 50 cents to see it. The giant became such a phenomenon that Hull managed to sell his part-interest in the Cardiff Giant for $23,000 ($429,000 when adjusted for inflation).
A year later, to stop P.T. Barnum from profiting off an unauthorized copy, Hull confessed in court that petrified man was a forgery. Barnum's therefore, was proven to be a fake of a fake.
- The BBC's ''Spaghetti Tree'' Hoax for April Fools' 1957
On April Fools' Day 1957, the BBC aired a short TV segment about the harvesting of spaghetti trees in Switzerland. At the time, not everybody knew how pasta was made, so to them, a spaghetti orchard seemed just as plausible as anything else, while 8 million viewed the broadcast.
