17: The Cottingley Fairies with Sarah Baggs

from Scamapalooza with Nicholas J. Johnson · host Nicholas J. Johnson

The Cottingley Fairies were the talk of the early 20th century. A pair of girls, Elsie and Francis, took five photos that appeared to depict real live fairies. The photos sparked off a series of events that stretched through the 20th century involving the Theosophical Society, Kodak, James Randi, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and sexy, sexy Harvey Keitel. This week on Scamapalooza, pop culture commentator Sarah Baggs asks the question: "Do you believe in fairies?"http://www.mammothaudio.com.au/scamapalooza/
