HOAXES

THE 10-FOOT GIANT FOUND IN UPSTATE NEW YORK
On October 16, 1869, a ten-foot petrified man was found while digging a well in the small upstate New York town of Cardiff, New York. Did giants really once walk the Earth?

THE WOMAN WHO GAVE BIRTH TO RABBITS
In 1726, Mary Toft, a twenty-five-year-old woman from Godalming, Surrey, England, pulled off one of the weirdest medical hoaxes in history. She claimed to have given birth to dozens of rabbits. Strangely enough, several prominent doctors supported her story, convinced it was true.

THE AZTEC FLYING SAUCER CRASH HOAX
In 1948, there was an alleged flying saucer crash in Aztec, New Mexico. To this day, the controversy remains whether it was a hoax or real.
