The Cottingley Fairies

from Wanna Hear Something Weird?

In 1917, two young cousins in England captured photographs allegedly showing fairies, which caught the attention of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and sparked a debate that lasted decades. We explore the aftermath of that incident, including the eventual admission of a partial hoax, while considering the enduring mystery surrounding the fifth and final photograph that one cousin insisted was genuine until her death.
