Biggest Historical Hoaxes -
Crop Circles
Whenever a mysterious crop circle would appear in large fields in Great Britain, extra-terrestrial enthusiasts across the country would go wild with curiosity. With claims of them being messages from aliens, which were widely disputed, in 1991 two men came forward and explained that they were in fact a hoax that was set up by them. Using no more than planks, hats, ropes and wires as their tools, it was the perfect prank to get people talking about the unknown.
The Real Mermaid
The discovery of the Fiji mermaid was one that rocked the world. The discovery was supposed to be the fossilized remains of a mermaid. However this was proven to be a hoax when it was discovered that it was in fact just a monkey and a fish tail joined together to give the convincing appearance of a mermaid.
Alien Autopsy
The 1990’s saw a short clip of what looked to be an alien autopsy on Fox. Around fifteen years later, the producer of the so called autopsy finally revealed that it was in fact fake, using things like strawberry jam to make it look real. He does however still maintain that it was based on actual footage and that it wasn’t a complete hoax.
Spaghetti Tree
In the 1950’s the BBC aired a program, which appeared to show people growing spaghetti on trees. Many people of the public believed what was supposed to be an April fool’s day prank and phoned in to ask how to grow the spaghetti.
THIS video shows what appears to be a spirit supposedly leaving a woman’s body. The footage is from a CCTV in a hospital in China.

hello! so i want to curse this nazi in my school lol. however, i know that curses often influence people other than the target (ie their family or friends) and i really wouldn't want that,, also i dont want to manipulate her in any way (i would feel like an abuser by doing so,,). would you say that just adding a "disclaimer" to the spell, for example "this curse may not harm anyone else other than the target (?)" would suffice? or should i just not curse her? sorry aa and ty So much ;;Alright, so when you’re cursing your local Nazi and you’re worried about repercussions on others near them, spell disclaimers are your friend. Here’s what you want some disclaimers and specifiers for:
1) That it will not harm you or anyone that the spell does not specifically target.
2) Be sure to use their full name and any other specifying identifiers you can. This is where locks of hair and whatnot are helpful if you can get them, but if you can’t you can do without.
3) Be sure to specify the severity of the curse.
4) Be sure to specify the length of the curse.
5) Consider some possible situations where you might want the curse to ease up. Perhaps if they do a sudden 180 on their viewpoint and actively apologize or something.
It sounds like a lot but if you word it right you can get it down to two or three sentences.
Curse your local Nazi

Stiles was an alchoholic and was also severely abusive to his family, in 1978 Stiles shot dead his daughter’s fiancé on the night of their wedding. He confessed having committed the murder but authorities couldn’t send him to jail or prison due to the fact they had no means to take care of someone with ectrodactyly, Stiles was instead sentenced to fifteen years probation.
