Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Experience with the Cottingley Faeries
Most people know Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as the creator of Sherlock Holmes and Mr. Watson. Doyle was also a passionate Spiritualist. Holmes was a shrewd skeptic. Doyle bordered on being gullible when it came to proof of survival after death. He had a life long interest in faeries and their legend and lore. Frances Griffith and Elsie Wright lived Cottingley, Yorkshire, in the summer of 1917. They said they saw faeries and gnomes in Cottingley Beck where they played. The Beck looks like an enchanted place with untouched woodland and a waterfall. They also took pictures of the legendary creatures. Doyle heard about these and was to write about the pictures.
