The photograph of the ‘fairy’ is obviously a fake. It’s just a matter
of reversing it from negative to positive and then the joins become
pretty obvious.
As for the other picture of the two girls - I’m afraid I can’t date it
precisely. I’d guess it was taken around the turn of this century. Were
these girls involved in fairy rumours?
Don’t be embarrassed about mistakes. The Web page is fine. I hope you
have the confidence to add to it and I’ll be looking for updates!
I think Annie is interested because she thinks there might be a book in
all this. While I sympathise with your need to confirm the supernatural
I feel confident that you’re the centre of a hoax and someone is going
to poke their head through the window of your little cottage and
yell ‘April Fool!’
As for ‘Titania’ - he/she is just winding you up. How could they know
such details unless they live nearby. You’re being had old girl. Maybe
it’s the Irish in you that makes you so vulnerable?
Even so keep in touch. It’s all quite interesting.

"The Cottingley Fairies" was a hoax put on by some young girls in 1917
in Cottingley in the UK. The photos are quite charming and even fooled
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. There was even a movie made about it a few
years back. Check here for some more info:

Hello Melanie,
Could you post the link to the photo again? I can't seem to find your
original post.
