Fakebusters!
Can you see why some of the world's best monster photos are really
clever frauds and hoaxes?


List of DinosaurCam photographs
- BIGFOOT
The latest hoax, and the story of the original hoax that continues to fool millions.
- Loch
Ness monster (photo number 1)
The most famous Loch Ness monster photo. It was allegedly taken by
a surgeon at Invermoriston in 1933, but deathbed confessions often
reveal interesting information.
- Loch
Ness monster (photo number 2)
The second-most famous Nessie photo. It was actually taken in Sri
Lanka, and it wasn't a plesiosaur, and it wasn't even a
monster.
- Pteranodon
in South Africa
One of the best pteranodon/pterodactyl fake photos in the world.
We'll show you how to fakebust it.
- Hylaeosaurus
in jungle village
Here's a rare photo of a dinosaur ambling through a jungle village.
This is an excellent hoax based on a dinosaur that many people know
little about.
- The
Hercules mammoth
This pathetic “photo” of a mammoth is so bad that we
still have trouble believing that anyone thought it was genuine. It
is an extremely amateurish attempt to add fur to an elephant, yet
it fooled thousands.
- Dangerous
croc invades Fraser Island
This is fake photo evidence of a crocodile on a beach that even
fooled the local newspaper.
- Noah's
Ark
This is a genuine photo of a genuine rock formation in Turkey that
many have claimed is the remains of Noah's Ark. Let's fakebust the
object.
- The John T.
Scopes 1925 UFO
This photo of the central character in the famous “evolution
monkey trial” of 1925 shows a UFO in the background. We found
it on a university website and have now fakebusted it!
- Tourist at
World Trade Center on September 11, 2001
At the exact minute Muslim terrorists flew planes into the World
Trade Center in 2001, this guy was allegedly standing on the
observation deck of the WTC in front of one of the planes, quietly
having his photo taken. Yeah, right!
- Sand
sculpture of WTC plane attack on 9/11
Many people think this photo is a fake, but it's not. It's a
genuine sand scupture of how a well-known artist imagined the
terrorist attack on New York's World Trade Center on September 11,
2001.
- The
Shroud of Turin
Feelings run strong on whether the Shroud of Turin is genuine or
bogus. We believe there is ample evidence to conclude it is a
superbly clever fake.
- Australian
UFO (and how UFO photos have been faked)
Taken in Queensland, Australia, this article shows one of the best
UFO photos we have seen. But the photo uses trickery that wasn't
available to earlier con-artists.
- Monster
iceberg above and below the water
A full iceberg? Not likely, but this photo swept the world in
emails and has hoodwinked millions.
- Black
Forest dinosaur
A small dinosaur in a forest clearing looked like the perfect
dinosaur shot. But we've fakebusted it!
- Plesiosaur
washed up on beach
Millions who weren't aware of the original photo were sucked in by
this bogus picture of a “plesiosaur” on a beach.
- Sahara sail
dinosaur
Hmmm. What can we say? How many were conned by this plastic
dinosaur superimposed on a genuine background?
- Archaeopteryx
Archaeopteryx is an extinct bird known only from fossils,
so if this photo was real it should have reaped millions from
science journals and newspapers instead of just doing the rounds in
emails.
- Plesiosaur
(Pacific blue)
This is a very good fabricated photo allegedly of an extinct
plesiosaur swimming behind a diver in the Pacific Ocean. But let's
fakebust it anyway.
Important note:
Astute readers will realize that just because most of
the photos in this series are fakes, it does not mean every
sensational photo is a fraud. A picture of a living dinosaur may
still prove to be genuine. The purpose of analyzing these photos is
to show you some major areas to watch for — simply to help
you spot hoaxes.
