Best Answer

The Cottingley Fairies were very famous and many people believed they were real. And that's pretty much what what everyone thought. It had gotten very, very famous. But when one of the girls became old she admitted the photos were fake. But, according the the book Ripley's Believe it or Not! Strikingly true, one of the photos is different from the others and is believed to be real, but I still think it was a fake. The girls faked the photos with cardboard cutouts of fairies. So, they really weren't real, unless I am wrong about the one that is still believed to be real.
