Episode description

In 1917, two young cousins in England captured photographs allegedly showing fairies, which caught the attention of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and sparked a debate that lasted decades. We explore the aftermath of that incident, including the eventual admission of a partial hoax, while considering the enduring mystery surrounding the fifth and final photograph that one cousin insisted was genuine until her death.
