The Cottingley Fairies

Even Arthur Conan Doyle wrote an article about the Photos.

The first 4 photographs look quite obviously like paper cutouts to me, not sure why the examiners believed they must be real.

Also interesting, both of the sisters claimed that they were the one who took the final photograph with Elsie saying it was a fake and Frances claiming that that one was real. Perhaps a false memory?

There’s the novel Photographing Fairies loosely based on that. Also a film based on that novel, but I liked the novel better.
