SE: Historic Hoaxes




Yesteryear's News Today show

Summary: April Fools Day 2015 has passed, and we've survived it without falling for any outlandish claims. But in the spirit of that ridiculous day, we take a look at some bogus news stories that made the papers in the 19th and early 20th century, including Poes' Balloon hoax, The Great Moons hoax (not to be confused with the conspiracy theory surround the 1st moon landing), The Daredevil that wasn't, and many more.
