Great Fakes and Hoaxes

In the world are people that will believe absolutely anything. No matter how ridiculous, unfounded or impractical the scenario. They're sucked in as it’s promoted by the media, whether it be a news story on the local TV news or Internet, or even bogus emails. These are tales spun by people who are seeking fame and notoriety or who can’t explain a lie or situation they’ve put themselves in so it spins out of control.

Here are some of the top fakes and hoaxes of all time.
