Do fairies exist?

Stumbled upon this..What do you guys think?

Is this the photographic proof that fairies are real?

Lecturer John Hyatt claims to have captured these images of the mythical creatures in the Rossendale Valley, Lancashire.

And the 53-year-old Manchester Metropolitan University lecturer says he is on a mission to get more adults to believe and ‘bring a bit of magic into their lives.’

John Hyatt, Director of Manchester Institute for Research and Innovation in Art and Design (MIRIAD) at Manchester Metropolitan University snapped images of what he claims are the tiny winged creatures whilst out photographing the Lancashire landscape over the last two years.

And he has now put his photographs on display at a special exhibition, reports the Manchester Evening News.

John, who was a member of the Three Johns punk band in the 1980s and 1990s, insists his photos are genuine and have not been altered in any way.

And he says adults that have seen them have begun to harbour ideas that they may indeed be real.

He said: “It was a bit of a shock when I blew them up, I did a double take.

“I went out afterwards and took pictures of flies and gnats and they just don’t look the same.

“People can decide for themselves what they are.

“The message to people is to approach them with an open mind.

“I think it’s one of those situations where you need to believe to see.

“A lot of people who have seen them say they have brought a little bit of magic into their lives and there’s not enough of that around.”

John, who lives Rawtenstall, has posted some of his images on social media and says they have attracted much debate.

The exhibition, called Rossendale Fairies, will be on show at The Whitaker Museum in Whitaker Park in Rossendale, throughout the spring.
John said the name is a nod to the famous story of the Cottingley fairies where two schoolgirls in Bradford claimed to have photographed fairies in their garden, which they confirmed 60 years later had been faked with cardboard cut-outs.

However he admits the creatures he snapped are a long way from the characters depicted in children’s stories and hopes his pictures will change people’s perceptions of them.

“Everything gets stereotyped, whatever it is.

“But there are stranger things in life than fairies, and life grows everywhere.

“I don’t believe they are just smaller versions of us and go home and have a cup of tea at the end of the day.

“And one is suggesting they have any special powers.

“From my experience they were just enjoying themselves and there was a little dance in the sunlight going on.

“They are just beautiful pictures and beauty can make people believe.”

 

Sounds like a farmer on crack

 

Yea i'm pretty sure he's getting some hood stank and started trippen.

Honestly though, what does he hope to prove? They can be bugs. It's not like Tinkerbell is in the pic.

 

I know i thought it was some type of moth

 

Probably some kind of moth. Fairies doesn't exist.

 

Define faeries.
If we are talking about flaming homosexuals....

I digress, of course they don't exist.

 

If this picture is real, then it's a bug, and if you name that species of bug "fairies", then fairies do in fact exist.

If you're talking about mosquito size humans with wings and magnificent powers and dust that makes you fly, no.


Also, this picture begs the question: if he was close enough for this snapshot, he should have captured one. Why didn't he capture one?

 

They may be in another dimension and dont physically interact with out side

 

Don't use the word "physics" if you aren't sure of the meaning. The very fact that they could be caught on camera proves they're physically interacting with us. For us to see them and for the camera to have captured them requires them to reflect light. If they weren't physically interacting with us, they wouldn't reflect light, we wouldn't be able to see them, no picture. If seeing into another dimension were as easy as seeing, astrophysicists would have made more progress on multi-verse and string theory.

 

Very nice.

But can anyone for sure rule out the possibility of rips in space-time?

and no of course i dont think they are fairies..its just we dont know how everything works...Like you mentioned with the Mult-verse and string theory...There are so many possibilities

 

Yes, we can rule out rips in space-time. A rip in space-time wouldn't let you walk into another dimension according to physics how they are understood now.

 

i do believe that the tooth fairy exists because every night someone is stealing my gold and it ends up on my money bookers account somehow

 

People can believe in God but not fairies.. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

Yeah, Those are DEFINITELY faeries.

 

those are 100% fairies

 

Hmm interesting, makes you think for a little. The world may never know...

 

Awesome pics. But still I don't think its fairies. Its kinda moth and looks like fairies because of the lights captured by the camera.

 

Echo that, a superb photo, but nothing more than a moth or bug in my opinion!

 

You guys are either joking around or have very simple mjnds. Those are fairies plain as day, I would know.

 

If that edited image is your proof of fairies existing, then they don't exist.
