6. Fallen Angel\r
This photo circulated the internet in new and was all over the web and was deemed that a real fallen angel has fallen from the sky. The idea of angels exist in many different religions and appear in countless literature from all around the world. Polls suggest that about 70% of Americans believe that angels do exist and many have claimed to have made cont with an angel. So is this a real angel? Not this time. What we see in this photo is ually a detailed sculpture of what an artist from Beijing believes an angel would look like, on temporary display in the city of London. Many passersby were shocked coming across this due to it human like nature and its morbidity. Impressive but certainly weird.\r

5. Sea Fairies\r
Many different types of fairies have been mentioned in folklore which leaves much to the imagination. This mummified body of a sea fairy was found along the coast of Florida and is ually real. So its real in a sense that it was made up of organic materials found at the beach, including fishs teeth, lips and jawbones and also the tail of a stingray for the antennas. While it didnt technically fall from the sky, it seems like this thing could have ually existed due to the extensive work of the artist. This ually sold on Ebay for $305 dollars.\r

4. Trolls \r
Were not just talking about the ones the internet although the description may be somewhat similar. These trolls are the mythical creatures legends are made of. Trolls are usually depicted as grotesque, uncivilized creatures that are unintelligent and extremely sensitive to sunlight yet powerful with brute strength. According to Norse Mythology, trolls tend to live under bridges in isolated mountains, caves and anywhere that helps them avoid sunlight as much as possible. The size of the troll tends to vary from culture to culture. But in most cases, people try to avoid the trolls as much as often. Could trolls be the result of deformed children left in the woods to fend for themselves? There are accounts of Spartans leaving unfit children in the forest. Although the Norse and Spartans are far away geographically, they could be out there, somewhere, not far away, craving attention.\r

3. Werewolf\r
Werewolves are human-wolf like hybrids that have that can have the ability to shapeshift and take the form of humans or two-legged wolves. The concept of people being raised by wolves is nothing new. Romulus and Remus, the two founders of Rome were supposedly feral children who grew up drinking the milk from wolves. In one case in France the child Victor of Aveyron lived most his life in the wild with wolves and reportedly seemed to have immunity to cold. Scandinavian folklore tells about how people or soldiers could turn into wolves during the night where they would have ravenous appetites. The German version is where the name comes from and gives the human the ability to turn into a wolf and is hybrid wolf-man. So is the werewolf most likely just a metaphor for excessive human debauchery during the night? Or is there some type of genetic trait that allows people to be more wolflike thats still unknown?\r

2. Leprechaun\r
Leprechauns are a type of Irish fairy who are portrayed as little people normally with beards, wearing a hat and more often than not are spotted with a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. The legend goes, if you capture a leprechaun, you get three wishes before in exchange for releasing him but catching one certainly seems like a difficult task, considering the f that its a mythical creature. But you never know when you might have the luck of the Irish and stumble upon his gold. The one here looks like hes not giving up his lucky charms without a fight!\r

1. Rossendale Fairies\r
The professor from the UK started getting a lot of attention when he took a photo of what he thought were insects. After the photos were developed he was shocked at what he was looking at. The photo didnt appear to be bugs at all but humanoid creatures with wings. Skeptics were quick to call everything a hoax and found it mysterious that he would be able to get such a quality photo of these creatures. While it may seem like common sense that fairies dont exist, it may seem even more difficult to discredit a college professors findings. The photos went on display on an art exhibition, leading many to believe that this was just for an art show. But the respectable professor still claims authenticity to the photos. What do you believe?
