Alan y Violet Schofield son los mayores especialistas en fotografía mágica de Inglaterra; una pareja de pícaros que se aprovecha de la fiebre por retratar seres feéricos que se extendió por la esnob y crédula sociedad londinense tras la Gran Guerra, después de que dos niñas de Cottingley lograran convencer al mismísimo Conan Doyle de que habían fotografiado a unas hadas.Por desgracia para ellos, todo cambiará cuando un nuevo cliente llame a su puerta: el temido y poderoso gánster Percival Drake, señor de los bajos fondos de Londres. Un hombre de gran astucia, brutalmente despiadado y, sobre todo, un hombre que no cree en la magia.Es un honor comenzar temporada de Fallo de Sistema con uno dude nuestros escritores referentes: hablamos Félix J. Palma (El mapa del cielo) de El gran timo de las hadas (Ed. Destino), una novela que ya han calificado como un cruce entre Peter Pan y Peaky Blinders.Con Don Víctor (Viñetas y Bocadillos) hablamos de hadas y cómics.Escuchar audio
This week: Kamala takes charge. Our cover piece discusses the rise of Kamala Harris, who has only one man standing in her way to the most powerful position in the world. Her's is certainly an unexpected ascent, given Harris' generally poor public-speaking performances and mixed bag of radical left and right-wing politics. Does she really have what it takes to defeat Trump? Kate Andrews, author of the piece and economics editor at The Spectator, joins the podcast with deputy editor Freddy Gray to discuss. (02:34) Next: Will and Lara go through some of their favourite pieces from the magazine including Damian Thompson's article on how the upcoming Hollywood film Conclave may be mirroring real-life events at the Vatican. Then: Olympics on steroids. 2025 will see the debut of the first ever ‘Enhanced Games', with athletes competing on performance-enhancing drugs. The event will be livestreamed across the world and, while the roster of athletes is being kept under wraps for now, Australian former Olympic swimmer James Magnussen has confirmed he will be competing. Creator of the games Aron D'Souza joins the podcast to discuss his upcoming business endeavour. (26:04) Finally: why did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle believe in fairies? Robert Gore Langton writes in the magazine this week about a new Edinburgh Fringe play focussing on Conan Doyle's role in the Cottingley fairy hoax. Was it grief for his late son, or his father's alcoholism that prompted Conan Doyle's spiritualism? Playwright Fiona Maher and Robert joined the podcast to discuss. (33:49) Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.

En 1917, à Cottingley dans le Yorkshire anglais, deux jeunes filles âgées de 10 et 16 ans photographient des fées au bord d'une rivière. Une histoire qui fera grand bruit notamment grâce à l'intervention de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, père de Sherlock Holmes, qui croira dur comme fer à l'authenticité des photos. Et si cette histoire était la première grande fake news photographique du 20ème Siècle ? Régine Dubois refait l'histoire de ces photographies avec Christian Chelman, conservateur du Surnatéum.

In 1917, in the quaint village of Cottingley, England, two young cousins, Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths, captured the world's imagination with a series of captivating photographs featuring themselves alongside ethereal, winged creatures. Claiming these images were a window into the fairy realm, the girls ignited a spirited debate between believers and sceptics. Join us on a journey to uncover the mesmerising story behind the Cottingley Fairies, exploring the enduring allure of a mystical narrative that continues to captivate both the young and the young at heart. My Special Guest Is Merrick Burrow Merrick Burrow is an academic and literary scholar, mainly focusing on 19th and early 20th Century literature and culture. He has a long-standing interest in Victorian and Edwardian popular fiction (adventure stories, detective fiction, gothic, scientific romance, spy thrillers, etc.) and especially the ways that these cultural forms show societies adapting to the emergence of new technologies. More recently, this has developed into an examination of the theme of deception culture since the early 19th century. Important to Merrick's research is the idea that modernity is driven by a desire for enlightenment, which supports scientific discovery and the production of new technologies. But these technologies, he argues, have always been haunted by the possibility that they may become tools of deception. Arthur Conan Doyle Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a literary luminary of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, left an indelible mark on the world as the ingenious mind behind the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. Born in Edinburgh in 1859, Doyle's prolific career spanned beyond mystery fiction into the realms of science fiction, historical novels, and non-fiction. A physician by training, he blended scientific inquiry with a keen sense of storytelling, creating characters that transcended the pages of his novels. Despite Holmes's towering legacy, Doyle's life was a tapestry of multifaceted interests, including spiritualism and public service. In this episode, you will be able to: 1. Examine the events surrounding news of the Cottingley Fairies. 2. Examine some of the factors that led to an unintentional hoax. 3. Take a closer look at the protagonists involved.

In the summer of 1917, Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths convinced a whole lot of people, including the famous Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, they'd seen fairies neat their home -- and they had photographic evidence to prove it. After decades of keeping their ruse a secret, they admitted their "joke was to last two hours, and it has lasted 70 years.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
After a number of deaths in his close family, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle turned to spiritualism in hope of finding proof of the afterlife. Being open in this way, he wanted to believe that spirits and other supernatural being including fairies were real. Because of this he believed the photographs of fairies taken by the Cottingley girls were proof of the existence of such beings. In this book he presents his stance on the issue. Eventually it was proven that the photographs were indeed a hoax. (Summary by Amy Gramour) --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/librivox1/support

Once upon a time in the early 20th century, two girls in England photographed what respected members of society called "evidence of fairies". Was this so? Or simply an elaborate hoax designed to play into our desire to believe in the fantastical?

Dans cet épisodes, nous explorons des cas célèbres de fabulations d'enfants, la cause de ces fabulations, pourquoi elles ont souvent été perpétuées jusqu'à l'âge adulte, et l'impact majeur qu'elles ont eut sur la vie des enfants. Nous parlons entre autres des soeurs Fox, qui ont créé les séances de spiritisme; des soeurs Creeley et leur supposé pouvoir de télépathie; des fées de Cottingley; du rôle du célèbre écrivain Arthur Conan Doyle dans la perpétuation de ces fabulations; et du psychiatre Ian Stevenson et ses théories sur la réincarnation. Nous montrons également que ces fabulations peuvent exercer un coût terrible en étudiant le cas de la chasse aux sorcières de Salem. Nous terminons le tout avec une discussion sur la décision de la Cour Suprême des États-Unis d'invalider l'arrêt Roe vs. Wade, et sur le droit à l'avortement au Québec et au Canada.

On today's episode, we learn that a desire to believe can sometimes overrule good sense. Poor Doyle believed all he was told about the fairies of Cottingley. But he wasn't alone.

Today we are talking about fairies and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who, in 1920, was so convinced that a couple of pictures of fairies he saw were real, he wrote a book about it. An actual book.

“Either the most ingenious and elaborate hoax ever played upon the public, or else... an event in human history which may in the future appear to have been epoch-making…” With these words, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, presented to the world five photographs, declared to be genuine and featuring unmistakable images of real fairies. How did the Cottingley fairies become one of the greatest mysteries of the twentieth century, and why do so many of us want to believe?

The Media of Mediumship project is running jointly at the University of Stirling and the Science Museum Group. The project team comprises Principal Investigator Professor Christine Ferguson, Co-Investigator Dr Efram Sera-Shriar and Postdoctoral Research Fellow Dr Emma Merkling. In this very spooky episode, Christine, Efram and Emma tell us how from the late-19th Century on, novel technologies of the period - including photographic cameras, radio transmitters and devices for producing and recording different types of electromagnetic radiation such as X-rays - were used to explore what we now think of as the 'supernatural'. The team show that during this period, phenonema such as the ability of a medium to channel the spirits of the dead, or the physical manifestations of this ability such as the production of ectoplasm, were open to scientific debate, having not yet fallen outside the boundaries of legitimate scientific study. Similarly, what phenomena it was possible for novel technologies such as radio and photography to record or capture was not yet settled. Spiritualists, occultists, scientists, as well as magicians and outright con-artists (with more than one of these labels often applying to the same individual) used these novel technologies variously to evidence or debunk various claims, draw boundaries between legitimate and illegitimate scientific and spiritualist or occult practises, whilst also satisfying a Victorian public for whom attending a séance, for example, was a popular form of entertainment. The team discuss this fascinating history with reference to some of the technological artefacts and other objects of the period, which are held by the Science Museum Group and Senate House Library, and which were implicated in some of the most high-profile contemporary controversies e.g. the Cottingley fairies.

And now, as they say, time for something completely different. Most authors draw from life experiences when writing and SFF/ mystery/ horror writers are no different. But some authors have peculiar episodes in their lives which rival their fiction. This week the dragons take a look at four writers who have at least one mystery attached to them. Why was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle so taken with the Cottingley fairies? Was Branwell Bronte ever really involved in a scandalous affair? How exactly did Edgar Allen Poe die? And what happened during the missing days of Agatha Christie? Jules and Madeleine can't promise answers but they can certainly promise a thorough examination of the known facts and their own opinion on the most likely solutions.

In this episode, Mildred tells Lou about two girls in Cottingley, England, who staged some photographs with paper fairies. After the photos got in the hands of the Theosophical Society, the girls accidentally became embroiled in a 60-year-long hoax that had some very famous people declaring the photos were proof that fairies were real.

In 1917, two young cousins carried a camera into an English dell and returned with a photo of fairies. When Arthur Conan Doyle took up the story it became a worldwide sensation. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the Cottingley Fairies, a curiosity that would remain unexplained for most of the 20th century. We'll also remember a ferocious fire and puzzle over a troublesome gnome. Intro: Poet Harry Graham found "a simple plan / Which makes the lamest lyric scan."

Welcome to the 26th episode of Wild Society!In this weeks murder case we discuss the infamous serial killer, Rodney Alcala. Nicknamed the “Dating Game Killer,” because of his time on the show, Rodney Alcala scoured the country hunting young women. Alcala used his unique charm to convince them he was a photographer and ultimately tortured, raped, strangled, and killed them. He was convicted of 8 murders but is believed to have killed many more. Officials are still trying to find information on possible victims today through photographs found in Alcala’s possession.In 1920 a series of photos captured the attention of the world. The photos, taken by two young girls, Frances Griffith and Elsie Wright, were taken while playing in the garden of Elsie’s Cottingley village home in West Yorkshire. The subject of these photos baffled everyone from photographic experts to spiritualists and became the most widely recognized photos in the world.Links to photos taken by Alcala of possible unidentified victims:ABC NewsCBS NewsJulius Jones Information:Watch the Documentary hereSign the Petition hereJusticeForJuliusJones.comCheck out our merch hereSee all of our episodes hereSend us case ideas, or personal stories hereBird Song by Sherree ChamberlainDating Game Killer Sources:PeopleCBS NewsABC NewsABC 2020MurderpediaBiographyWikipediaCottingley Fairies Sources:BBCHistoric UKWikipediaMessy Nessy
With Bryan back, the Boys analyze their first story of the modern era. The Case of the Cottingley Fairies. In 1917, two little girls from West Yorkshire, England would capture photographs of fairies. For the first time, believers of the paranormal had their first tangible evidence of mythical beings. Spiritualism and Mediums were in the height of their popularity and these pictures would begin a hotbed of investigation, debate, and eventual humiliation. Containing clairvoyants, famous writers, and theosophists; this story is remembered as a unique tale from the beginning of the century.

Kewanee Mayor Gary Moore was our guest on Tuned In on Tuesday, December 29th, 2020. On the agenda, a look back at Monday night's Kewanee City Council Meeting including discussion regarding the City of Kewanee contract with Cottingley and Butler of Dubuque, Iowa to provide consulting work related to insurance. The City of Kewanee also tabled a new insurance agreement that would provide an option for former City of Kewanee Department heads to return to the City of Kewanee Insurance plan one time, should they give up their City of Kewanee insurance for a new plan. The goal is to encourage those who retire as City of Kewanee Department heads to find other means of insurance. The Kewanee City Council also made waves by voting 5 to 0 in favor of no longer having the County collect local hotel taxes. The City of Kewanee will no handle billing and collection of hotel taxes with the goal taking more control over how tourism is promoted related to Kewanee.

Im Sommer 1917 ereignete sich im kleinen Dörfchen Cottingley in der englischen Grafschaft Yorkshire Erstaunliches: zwei Mädchen sahen an einem kleinen Bach Elfen und Gnome und fertigten insgesamt fünf Fotos der Märchenwesen an.

What happens when an innocent game spirals so far out of control that it ends up being international news? Many people recognise the Cottingley fairy photographs as one of the greatest hoaxes of all time, but who were the girls behind it and what were their true intentions? Why did such intellectual luminaries as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle give them such public support? Do people have an inbuilt desire to be deceived? Heidi and Becki attempt to tackle these questions and sprinkle around some glittery insights into the nature of grief, truth and the human need to believe in magic.
Réalisées au début du XXe siècle, les photos des cousines anglaises Elsie Wright et Frances Griffiths ont fasciné l'opinion publique mondiale, pour constituer ce qu'on appelle communément "l'affaire des fées de Cottingley". D'abord présentées comme étant authentiques, ces représentations d'entités féeriques - cohabitant avec des jeunes filles - ont finalement été reconnues comme étant des photos truquées, par les deux photographes...

In 1917 two schoolgirls managed to take some photographs that clearly showed fairies. The images became famous around the world and were used as 'evidence' of the existence of fairies for over 60 years, convincing even some of the greatest minds.

When Tinker Bell followed Peter Pan to Hollywood in the 1950s, fairies vanished into the realm of child-lore. Yet in 1923 30-yearold J.R.R. Tolkien’s visit to his aunt’s house Bag’s End inspired a story about hedgerowfairies or ‘Hobbits’, and three years earlier Sherlock-Holmes author Arthur Conan Doyle published the Cottingley fairy photographs. In Ireland, a generation before, family members had torched a woman to death thinking she was a fairy, while William Butler Yeats met a fairy queen in a coastal cave.In addition, Magical Folk includes findings from The Fairy Census, the first scholarly survey of modern fairy sightings in Britain and Ireland, demonstrating that the connection with the past continues unbroken. Another new discovery is that fairies travelled across the Atlantic well before Tinker Bell made it onto the silver screen. The most homesick fairies may have been the ones who dunked one Roderick repeatedly in the Atlantic Ocean as they dragged him to Ireland and back to his Canadian home!Simon Young was awarded a starred First in Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic from Cambridge University, as well as the Chadwick Prize for Celtic studies. Since then he has lived in Spain, Ireland and Italy, where teaches at the International Studies Institute Florence. The author of many academic articles, he has written for the Daily Telegraph, History Today, the Spectator, and the Guardian. He previously published The Celtic Revolution (Gibson Square).

The Cottingley Fairies appear in a series of five photographs taken by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths, two young cousins who lived in Cottingley, near Bradford in England, and two young girls that took over a nation. The Fox sisters were three sisters from New York who played an important role in the creation of Spiritualism: Leah, Margaret (also called Maggie), and Kate (also called Catherine) Fox. They created a mentality, and eventually, it destroyed them. So sit back, relax, and enjoy our last badass women.

The photos taken in 1917 by two young girls were heralded by the Sherlock Holmes author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, as proof of the existence of fairies. Cousins Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths were 15 and 9 when they took the photos in the village of Cottingley near Leeds in the north of England. In 1920 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published the photos in an issue of the Strand magazine as part of an article on fairy life. He was a leading member of the Theosophical Society, a movement interested in the spirit world which had gained a following in the devastating aftermath of World War One. In 1983 Elsie Wright finally admitted that the photos had been faked.Photo: Copyright Alamy.

We're all at it - from the very wealthiest amongst us to the very poorest: buying and selling on eBay. And no one knows better than Dave and Gary what's involved in shifting the items traded up and down the country. The idea was simple: the depression in the building trade left Gary casting round for an alternative occupation. He's quite entrepreneurial and when someone suggested buying a van and cashing in on the eBay boom he decided to do just that, roping his uncle Dave in on what is now a family business. They operate from a garage on a council estate in Cottingley, on the outskirts of Bradford, but for most of the week they're on the road - picking up and dropping everything from household goods to wool and even ornamental fountains! Their job takes them up and down the country and in just one journey they pick up a bed from the Speaker's wife, Sally Bercow - who has sold it on eBay to someone in the North - and drop off a rusting metal bench from Salford to a new owner in the South who hopes it will net him many thousands of pounds. This might not be the future they once envisaged: Dave spent thirty years as a metal worker but when he topped 26 stones in weight his knees gave in and he lost his job. He has had gastric surgery and lost a third of his body weight but is sticking with the van driving for the time being. His nephew, Gary, needs him: he has a baby on the way and thinks he's identified an opportunity to make money from our national obsession with bargain hunting. Producer: Sue Mitchell.
