Hello! I’m Corrie Smith and I’m on a mission to get to the depths of internet hoaxes. Are they just harmless fun or is something more sinister lurking behind the fabricated nonsense?

Here is me with Michael Jackson at Madame Tussauds. There are whole websites dedicated to proving that his death was indeed a hoax.
I am a student at Bournemouth University and studying Communications and Media. More importantly though, I am someone with a fascination of the weird and wonderful. Conspiracy theories, extraordinary facts and a macabre interest in serial killers and celebrity deaths have all lead to this: a project focusing on the concept of internet hoaxes.
I hope you enjoy following this blog and the related social media as much as I have enjoyed creating it.
