Do Fairies exist?

It’s obviously a hoax, or not?

What appears to be the mummified remains of a fairy have been discovered in the Derbyshire countryside... The remains were discovered by a local man, who wishes to remain anonymous, while walking his dog along an old Roman road situated between the villages of Duffield and Belper...

The remains, complete with wings, skin, teeth and flowing red hair have been examined by anthropologists and forensic experts who can confirm that the body is genuine.

'I plan to return it to the burrow and reseal it so that it cannot be rediscovered.'

-Sounds like someone who doesn't want scientists to come out and easily prove him wrong...

Although, I do believe that one day people are going to *really discover a 'creature of legend.' Probably not a fairy, but who knows? It's a big world. But maybe that's the the spec-fic writer in me.

it's a pretty nice job, but it has some low points, like the crappily glued on barbie red hair and the "moss" or whatever the guy used to hide the wires holding the leaves/wings to the body.

Pretty cute imo.

"When I first arrived I could hear the dog barking from some distance. I had no idea what he had found. As I approached the barrow I could see him crouched down looking a[t] something on the floor. "What have you found?" I shouted. "See for yourself." he said. I looked down and saw a tiny but perfect mummified human body with hair, dark brown skin and more disturbingly, wings. "I know what it looks like," he said, "but how can it be? And there's not just one. I've had another look inside that hole in the ground and there are more!"

That's amazing! The big story here is obviously a dog that can talk!

The dog wasn't talking, silly. The guy called his wife to bring a box, who then picks up the narrative.
Probably the police wanted to make sure that no babies were harmed in the making of this hoax.

This isn't the only such evidence; there's also a fossilized fairy that's been discovered. I posted about that here, but it was covered on Paryngula on Scienceblogs too, so it must be real, right?

Hehe it looks like they've put the body for sale on ebay. Current bid GBP48, get in while you can:

Village of the Little People

I took this photo on 5-27-2007 right before my surgery at a park nearby my home. Their was something about this spot that drew me in. The first two shots I took came out with tiny people wearing cloaks. Strange, I did not see them when I was taken the pictures. When I got back to my place, immediatley - I down loaded the pictures and saw that the first two came out blurrie. So I deleted them. This picture was the only one that came out okay. However, it is also the only picture that the tiny persons wearing cloaks did not appear in.

I'm okay about the whole deal - for I understand that they only wanted me to know they were there. So I must respect them, as I would want them to do the same for me.

I don't think it's a fake..If it was all perfect like the picture books then yes, I would definitely think it was a fake, but because this fairy isn't flawless and exactly as we imagine fairies to be, I'm more inclined to believe it real. However, if it is a hoax, then it is some cruel scumbag who did it, giving fairy believers false hope.
Much Love x

If this is really fake, the man who did this is *ucking good. Since some of you say this is made out of something, can you plz explain to me WHAT? I do believe in Fairies, Why not? No one can prove me right, and no one can prove me wrong!!! You are all welcome to try though!
Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)
Well of course faries are real! But not this one. Unless it is rapped with black clothing or covered in moss, it is not real. Real fairies look way more pretty and have clothes on. Listen, I don't know who is trying to trick you, but whoever it is is wrong about this one. Wanna find a fairie? You gotta look hard. Have I seen one? Yes, I have. Don't beilieve me? Thats fine. Beilieve what you want but I know the truth. If you beileive me, you are one of them. Fairies are real, AND I AM A BEILEIVER!!!

dont make the fairy belivers lose their hopes because i know that you still believe in heaven and heaven cant be seen so how can you be surely that the fairies dont exist.i know i sound crazy but believing in mystical creatures wont take anything from you and you wont lose something because you will gain a "FAITH".....and maybe that if this kind of prank jokes keep in going......people may lose their hopes......and just take what you said to them.......so whoever did this prank is not funny cause youre making people believe in fake things......they dont even know that its fake so they maybe believe and believe and dont think normaly (just like a crazy people) because of what they saw..........so stop doing pranks on mystical creatures that may live in your backyards nor garden............just KEEP BELIEVING!

i think fairys do exist. And i dont get how some of people are saying its a fake because fairys are all cute and flawless. But the guy found a DEAD fairy so it is ging to be all rotten and dark. Dont use humans rot away once we have died unless we have been cremated. And if u look closley at the wings some little chunks of it has broken away

Any way i think it real
dont really bother me what other people say

Chow dearss

This was proven to be a hoax, however, I know fairies ARE real. At 45 years young last year, I saw one for the first time- alive.

Folks, they exist. If you asked me about them 2 years ago, I would have laughed. Never say never is all I can say.

i don't know if this one is real or not..........but all i hope is that fairies do exist.....call me stupid or crazy.......but i "feel" that they exist......deep in me i know they do exist...........and noone or nothing is gonna change my belief...............................................................

I wonder if Guillermo del Toro was behind the making for this as a promotion for Pan's Labrynth.

@ i do believe in fairies...

Can you start believing in proper punctuation too?

Eeveryone is saying "the hair is the first thing to deterate." we only know that fact from seeing humans and mammals die. Fairies could be completely differant who are we to question there life? Just beacuse we have never seen a fairy. My guess is that Fairies are very differant then us including the way that they die. I think that somebody somewhere has seen a fairy but doesnt want anyone to know. Think about it, if a human caught a fairy all we humans would do is test on it and end up killing it. I think that the world isnt ready to really see fairies yet, the reason why they havent reveled them seleves to us yet.

I do believe in fairies i have seen them several times I am 33 years old the fist time I seen one was when i was 19 out in the woods my faience and some close friend where camping out in the middle of now where the fire began to go dim with out going out then we seen the flames shoot up for the sky thinking this was strange we began to talk about fairies we said if there are fairies around my we see you we will not hurt you or capture you we felt something on our cheeks like a kiss and the bushes and trees lit up with lights no they where not fireflies I live in Oregon USA we don't have fireflies here and no we weren't drunk or on drugs we don't do things like that so if you are looking for them in the city you will never see them they live where they can be one with the natural environment

It might not be real but its still amazing!!! And if the hole idea of it not being a fairy what the hell is it??? I guess this proves in life not everthing has to be constant fact!!! Now what about the rest of the legends??
Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)
AWW! Why didn't her faerie friends give her proper burial? Was it faerie foulplay?? Did she die because someone didn't believe in her???

I have never been so fortunate as to hallucinate a faerie. If I ever did drugs I'd probably see the devil instead, with my luck...but no faeries.

This is just too darn cute in a Tim Burton sort of way.

I'm kind of sick of people saying they don't believe in any magical creatures. Where's your hopes, your believes and dreams? Do you really wanna be stuck living in a normal world there unexciting things happen, things that normally happens to us everyday. That's boring!
Do you know what I think that all the magical creatures even fairies don't wanna reveal themselves because of us humans.
Like hear me out. If you found a fairy or any magic creature you would totallt tell your friends and family and the breaking news would totally spread fast and when it's proven, don't you think that many people would try their hard to find them and then catch them to make tests and earn huge money for doing these tests and discovering.
Maybe those creatures and fairies has their reason WHY not revevaling themselves. Most of us human I know would harm them and some would harm them even more bad. But we know inside that we wanna beleive even though we'll never be able to see them doesn't mean they don't exist at all.
Like when we all were just kids, we believe in many things, that's how they may come alive just because we believed. As when we grow our believes on them keeps fading away and so do them too. They maybe come alive because of our hopes and belive to them. But dies when we stop believing. Every fairy or any magical creature borns/start exist when we belive and when you've stopped, it goes dead.
Well, all I have to say is that I will not be forced to be stuck in a world of unbelievers and lost hopes and broken dreams just because we were told to live and lead a life there everythings normal. i'm one of those people who have not stoped beliveing, cause I will keep on believing, I would never harm those fairies if I ever found one.
And stop crashing our hopes saying they're fake, it's not funny how people manage to crash someone's hopes on something she/him believes in. It's like crashing your dream wedding or your hope of a better life and then some goes to you and says you'll never go that far. isn't that the same thing?

Let every people believe and have their hopes, no matter how weird or bad it may sound. And when someone say something to you that she7him believe in something that may not exist, don't laugh on that persons face, you will break her/him.

The world is big still small and we humans think we've seen everything that has to be seen, that we've discovered alot but how do you actually know that. There's way to many things that still has been undiscovered or unexplained. To believe is just a beginning of something!

Call me crazy but maybe after 3000 years from now they finally revevaled themselves and the humans has learned to live with them in peace and your opinions and comments will no longer matter to me.
I do believe in fairies, I do!

the question is if it is real they what is it doing in the phyical world ? unless it got cought by the sunrise?
we have had them in the celestial or ethric and held one in or hands but never seen a phyiscal one.... if this is not a animal like a monkey or a bat then that is wonderfull dont you think if they were one time or are real then the psychic spiritual life after death is real too although my fairy god mothers say that we came from the garden of fairy and became incarnated as humans not that fairys are phyical but i hope i am wrong!
