In this episode, Noelle regales us with the fascinating tale of the Cottingley Fairies, a series of photographs taken by two young girls in 1917 that purported to show real fairies. We explore the initial widespread belief in the images, fueled by prominent figures like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and the subsequent controversy and debunking that followed. Join us as we uncover the blend of innocence, imagination, and the human desire to believe in the extraordinary. Elaborate hoax? Or clever cover up? You decide.
