This interesting photo created by 2 cousins: Frances Griffiths and Elsie Wright, made the famous author of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle, believe in fairies. It was taken in 1917. Doyle was also a spiritualist, and when his friends showed him this photo, he became so interested that he even called his friend, a specialist from Kodak, to figure out if the photo was real or not.

The truth was revealed only in 1983, the girls revealed the secret themselves. They said that they took copied photos of dancing girls from a popular children’s book, added wings to them, and using hatpins they secured these fairies to the foliage. They made a series of mystical, magical photos in which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle believed in until the end of his life and never knew the truth.
