In the wake of violent conflicts like the U.S. Civil War and World War I, people of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were searching for miracles. The loss of life both in Europe and in the United States inspired people to ask questions about life after death, spirituality, and the mystical \u2014 culminating in the spiritualist movement.<\/p>\n

During this period, when people were generally more willing to believe the inexplainable, there emerged a number of\u00a0infamous fake photos<\/a>\u00a0and tales of supernatural occurrences which captured the world\u2019s attention. And the Cottingley Fairies hoax was one such case.<\/p>\n

Beginning in 1917, two young girls snapped a series of photos of what appeared to be fairies in their garden in the English countryside. This photo hoax would go on to fool photography experts, leading members of the spiritualist movement, and even Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes.<\/p>\n

This is the story of the Cottingley Fairies and the modern spiritualist movement that rocketed them to infamy.<\/p>\n

The Cottingley Fairies Prank<\/h2>\n

In the summer of 1917, nine-year-old Frances Griffiths and her mother journeyed to Cottingley, England, where they would move in with the family of Frances\u2019 16-year-old cousin, Elsie Wright.<\/p>\n

The Wrights lived in a picturesque wooded area near a garden stream called Cottingley Beck. Frances and Elsie quickly became close, and often ventured down to the stream to play.<\/p>\n

One day, the girls came back from the stream covered in mud. When their parents scolded them for the mess, the girls protested that they had just been \u201cto see the fairies,\u201d according to\u00a0BBC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Cottingley<\/p>\n

As proof, they took a camera down to the stream \u2014 and captured the first in a series of photographs now known as the \u201cCottingley Fairies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Photos Spread Throughout England<\/h2>\n

When Elsie\u2019s father, Arthur Wright, developed the film, he found a photo that appeared to show little Frances posing in the garden with four winged sprites. Arthur immediately suspected that the girls had fabricated the photograph. So, the girls decided to capture even more evidence, snapping a photo of Elsie posing with a fairy.<\/p>\n

Elsie\u2019s mother, Polly, did not share her husband\u2019s skepticism. She had become interested in the spiritualist movement, a social-religious movement of the late 19th century and early 20th century, and wanted to show the pictures to local spiritualist groups.<\/p>\n

In 1919, she brought the photos to a meeting of the Theosophical Society in the nearby town of Bradford. The society\u2019s leading member, Edward Gardner, viewed the images with wonder.<\/p>\n

To Gardner, the Cottingley Fairies offered proof of the group\u2019s main belief: that great metaphysical changes were occurring, and that humankind was transforming into its most perfect form as time progressed. He began to use the photos in his lectures on spiritualism, presenting them as \u201cevidence\u201d of the supernatural.<\/p>\n

Gardner also took the photos to photography expert Harold Snelling for authentication. According to Paul Smith\u2019s essay in\u00a0The Good People: New Fairylore Essays<\/em><\/a>, Snelling declared them to be \u201centirely genuine,\u201d saying, \u201cthese are straight forward photographs of whatever was in front of the camera at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Cottingley<\/p>\n

Before long, the images spread like wildfire throughout England. By 1920, they had caught the attention of\u00a0Sir Arthur Conan Doyle<\/a>, a noted spiritualist and the author of\u00a0The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle\u2019s \u201cFairies Photographed\u201d<\/h2>\n

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was writing a story about fairies for\u00a0The Strand<\/em>\u00a0magazine when he first heard of the Cottingley Fairies. Entranced, he asked the Wrights for permission to use the images in his piece.<\/p>\n

Conan Doyle was originally skeptical of the photos\u2019 authenticity. But according to Dr. Merrick Burrow, Head of English and Creative Writing at the University of Huddersfield, he believed that, if proven genuine, they could change the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf these photos proved the existence of fairies, and that you could photograph the supernatural, then they were a staging post in the argument for spiritualism,\u201d Burrow explained.<\/p>\n

After consulting multiple experts, Conan Doyle apparently came to the conclusion that the photos were genuine. In his article, published in December 1920, he wrote that \u201cafter carefully going into every possible source of error, a strong prima facie case has been built up\u201d for their authenticity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe recognition of their existence will jolt the material twentieth-century mind out of its heavy ruts in the mud, and will make it admit that there is a glamour and a mystery to life. Having discovered this, the world will not find it so difficult to accept that spiritual message supported by physical facts which has already been so convincingly put before it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Conan Doyle\u2019s article was a hit, gaining popularity in both the United States and Australia. As the photos exploded into an international sensation, Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths were given cameras of their own and asked to take even more photos in 1921. They obliged, rounding out the series with a total of five photos.<\/p>\n

What had begun as a family prank was now one of history\u2019s most legendary photo hoaxes.<\/p>\n

The Rise Of Spiritualism Across Western Europe And The United States<\/h2>\n

The story of how the Cottingley Fairies photographs came to be can be partially explained by the rise of the modern spiritualism movement.<\/p>\n

The movement was born in the 1840s during the Second Great Awakening, a Protestant religious revival in the United States. It was largely driven by the belief that life continued after death and that the living could make contact with spirits.<\/p>\n

Famous pioneers of spiritualism included Emanuel Swedenborg, Andrew Jackson Davis, and the\u00a0Fox sisters<\/a>\u00a0in New York: Leah, Kate, and Maggie. The sisters toured the country in the 19th century, holding seances where participants heard knocks and other noises supposedly made by spirits. This appeal to the senses captured the attention of the American public.<\/p>\n

Eventually, entire towns for spiritualism formed, including\u00a0Lily Dale<\/a>, a New York hamlet founded in 1879 that stands as the largest center of the spiritualist movement today.<\/p>\n

A large part of the reason spiritualism took off in the late 19th century and early 20th century was a pervasive feeling of loss. Following the devastating casualties of both the U.S. Civil War and World War I, families were desperate for connection to their lost loved ones.<\/p>\n

This desire inspired photographers to develop\u00a0\u201cspirit photography\u201d<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 photographs produced using techniques like double exposure to create the illusion of a ghost in the background.<\/p>\n

It is from this cultural phenomenon that the Cottingley Fairies were born and found their success in the public eye.<\/p>\n

The Legacy Of The Cottingley Fairies<\/h2>\n

Over the decades, people started to recognize the Cottingley Fairies story for what it truly was: a hoax. However, it wasn\u2019t until 1983 that Frances Griffiths admitted she and her cousin Elsie Wright had staged the images using paper cutouts and hatpins<\/p>\n

\u201cI never even thought of it being a fraud,\u201d Griffiths told the BBC at the time. \u201cIt was just Elsie and I having a bit of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

She explained that the girls had hand-copied images from\u00a0Princess Mary\u2019s Gift Book<\/em>, a children\u2019s book published in 1914. Then, they added wings to their cutout figures and used hair pins to hold the \u201cfairies\u201d upright as they snapped the photos.<\/p>\n

But even if their prank had gotten out of hand, Griffiths said she didn\u2019t have any regrets about creating the Cottingley Fairies.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople often say to me \u2018Don\u2019t you feel ashamed that you have made all these poor people look like fools? They believed in you,’\u201d she said. \u201cBut I do not, because they wanted to believe.\u201d<\/p>\n
