Response
Baines received hundreds of emails from the Internet readers, in which he had heard all sorts of comments including people who say they've seen exactly the same things. 'There was one person who was quite upset because I revealed the place where the fairy was found.' - he said. When Baines admitted that the dead fairy was a hoax, and that the model was in fact created by himself as an April Fools' prank, there were people who still believed that the mummified fairy was genuine. It was noted that the number of queries sent to Baines regarding the dead fairy didn't slow down after the revelation of his hoax. After the event, Baines described the response to his prank as uncanny and that it had taken him up to four hours a day to respond to all the emails he had been receiving regarding the subject.
