Fact File

Do Real Pictures of Fairies Exist?
~ In 1917 two girls Frances Griffiths and Elsie Wright aged 10 and 16, living in West Yorkshire claimed they had taken photos of Fairies
~ Some said that the girls faked the photos to convince the adults they had seen Fairies although at the time it was unknown as to how they faked the photos
~ Others argued that the girls had no knowledge of photo editing
~ In an interview in 1975 when asked about the photographs Elsie said " I've told you that they're photographs of figments of our imagination and that's what I'm sticking to"
~ Later in 1982 the girls admitted to faking the first four photographs but still say the 'Fairies and their sun bath' is real
~ It is now believed that to the modern eye it can be easily seen that the photos were faked
~In a close examination one can see where the pin passes through the paper in order to hold the images on (especially in the gnome picture)
