* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottingley_fairies:Cottingley fairies|The "Cottingley fairies" case]].
* The "crop circles" hoax was a [[Snowball Lie]] that grew so big that even when its authors (two old men from England) tried to kill it, ufologists and other enthusiasts refused to believe them. Of course, they were also imitated by dozens of copycats, hence the excuse that "Well, you might have done ''some'' of them, but what about ''these'' ones?"
** The same goes for things like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. Just like the crop circles, when people came forward to announce that they were involved in the hoaxing, believers accused them of lying to cover up the ''real'' creatures.
