Photograph shows the remains of an 8-inch, mummified fairy found in Derbyshire.Quoted from the site this artical originated from,
Do fairies live at the bottom of your garden?
Maybe not anymore but a recent discovery would suggest that they probably did. What appear to be the mummified remains of a fairy have been discovered in the Derbyshire countryside.
The 8 inch remains complete with wings, skin, teeth and flowing red hair have been examined by archaeologists and forensic experts who can confirm that the body is genuine. X-rays of the fairy reveal an anatomically identical skeleton to that of a child. The bones, however, are hollow like those of a bird making them particularly light. The puzzling presence of a navel even suggests that the beings reproduce the same as humans despite the absence of reproductive organs.
However...as reported by BBCPhotographs of a mummified fairy supposedly found in Derbyshire have been revealed as an April Fool's prank. Former Derbyshire resident Dan Baines, 31, who designs illusions for magicians, made the fairy as a prank.
The site got 20,000 hits in one day from fairy believers. "Although I've said it's a hoax, people still believe that it's real," said Mr Baines.
"They believe this is just a cover-up so let the illusion continue."
He added that it had taken him four hours a day to answer all of his emails.
"I've had all sorts of comments including people who say they've seen exactly the same things and one person who told me to return the remains to the grave site as soon as possible or face the consequences," he said.
The fairy is about eight inches long with details such as a navel, ears and hair added for authenticity.
Mr Baines added that he had now become addicted to April Fool's jokes and told people to "watch this space" for future pranks.
This guy even put his fairy figure up for auction on eBay, where it fetched a high bid of £280.00.

I think it was very immature of him to do such a thing. Sure, it might have been funny, but some believers out there could get pretty mad about him making "pranks" with mystical creature some people believe in
Oh, please....Mean and immature? Who the hell believes in something so stupid anyway!?
Maybe it's a sign they need to stop playing dungeons and dragons and leave the basement once in a while...
I think it could be either fake or real.

Don't tell me you NEVER believed in fairies and magic at one point in time. There is nothing wrong with believing in such things. If that's what they want to believe more power to them. Fairies and such beings were a big part of lore in many different cultures, and for all we know they could have really existed. Just because YOU don't believe in it doesn't mean they don't exist. Although, I do think it was a tad immature to do such a prank.
