In 1917, two young girls in Yorkshire took photographs of fairies in their very own backyard. 

To skeptics, the photos seemed like obvious fakes - but to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, they were proof of a whole new realm of existence. What made him so sure, and how did the investigation of these photos unfold over the years and decades that followed? 

In this episode of Analytical Eye, we look at the Cottingley Fairy incident.

This episode is dedicated to Rosie, with thanks.
