As part of an elaborate April Fools Day prank, prop-maker Dan Baines of Derbyshire, England created what he told people was the corpse of a fairy; and put it up for sale on eBay and on his web site. His prop was perhaps a little too well made, as it resulted in his site getting over 20,000 visits in one day. Even after he revealed the whole thing was a hoax, Baines still received emails from fairy believers accusing him of covering up the truth with his hoax story.
"I've had all sorts of comments, including people telling me they've seen exactly the same things and one person told me to return the remains to the grave site as soon as possible or face the consequences," he told the BBC.
