Thousands of amazing photos are washed over our greedy eyeballs each and everyday, clogging our Facebook feeds and Twitter timelines. What we don’t know is, many of them are fakes, or lies, or both. Just like these 5! Did you guess the fakes before?
Here are 5 photos that you may have seen floating around the internet recently but not one of them is what it claims to be.
Scroll down to see the list:
1. Carving of Buddha at the Ngyen Khang Taksang Monastery
Some time ago, a photo was shared on the internet that showed the carving of Lord Buddha at the monastery. But in real, there is no such monastery that you can actually visit.
2. Fairy Pools on the Island of Skye in Scotland
People were sharing the photo on the left on the internet, claiming it to be the fairy pools of Scotland. As it turns out, the photo is actually an altered image from Shout-over River, New Zealand. Though the unaltered one also absolutely gorgeous.
3. Photo of JFK and his daughter Caroline
The photo on the left was tweeted by a famous handle claiming that it showed President John F. Kennedy with his daughter Caroline. According to this enormously popular Twitter account, the girl is wearing a mask made to look like her father. But something still doesn’t look quite right because it is of-course a face-swap version of the original photo.
4. Photo from a Soviet mental institution in 1952
Photo on the left was shared sometime ago, claiming it to be some supernatural weirdness from the Russian Mental Institution in 1952. In reality, it is a simple performance art dance show held in Blaubart. The real screenshot from the 1977 performance is on the right.
5. The serial killer python
The story of a python who ate a drunk man in India before heading to China and South Africa, was heavily shared on social media. While the story seems quite interesting, it is a total fake.
The same picture has shown up time and again with different stories attached to it.
