The five photographs were taken by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths, two young cousins who lived in Cottingley, near Bradford in England. In 1917, when the first two photographs were taken, Elsie was 16 years old and Frances was 10."

The truth is - nobody knows. While there have been some substantial claims of people meeting and witnessing fairies, a lot of them have been proved as fakes. The most famous fake is the Cottingley Fairies hoax from 1917. It's likely you have seen the photographs. However there are also some claims and photographs that scientists are having great difficulty in proving whether they are fakes. So, there is no answer to your question. Just go with what you believe in. Asking if fairies are or ever were real is pretty much the same as asking how life started in the universe - unanswerable.
