Photo C is the only real photo on this page.
These are camel spiders. They live in the desert,
where it is hot. They look very big in this photo
because they are very close to the camera.
Camel spiders are not dangerous, but they can
run very fast – up to 16 kilometers per hour! If a
camel spider sees you, it will run to you. Do you
know why? It wants to stand in your shadow,
where it is cool!
Photo D is from 1936, and it is one of the most famous ‘fake’ photos. It is famous because
many people believed that it shows a ghost called the Brown Lady of Raynham Hall. It isn’t
real, though. We don’t know who took this photo, but we know how they did it. They used
their camera to make two photos into one. There are lots of old photos like this one. All of
them are fake.
Photo E of a shark jumping at a man under a helicopter
is super-scary. It’s also super-fake! ‘Fake’ is a word that
means ‘not real’. Here are the two photos that
someone used to make it. Now you can see that the
shark is jumping, but it isn’t jumping at the man under
the helicopter. Whew!!
