  • Photographs purportedly showing the skeletons of fairies, dragons, werewolves and other mythical creatures at the Merrylin Cryptid Museum were appeared in May 2016, featured on web sites such as Ufunk.net and Metro: The Merrylin Cryptid Museum claims that its specimens were collected by famed Crypto-naturalist Thomas Merrylin in the 1800s. Curator Alex CF writes on the museum's web site that not only did Merrylin have a knack for uncovering imaginary creatures, but that he also resisted aging: A video that appeared to show the museum was published on Vimeo in 2014, deepening the mystery: Despite the claims made in this video, we found no record of an ageless cryptologist named Professor Thomas Theodore Merrylin that wasn't associated with this museum. Furthermore, in addition to his duties as curator at the Merrylin Cryptid Museum, Alex CF is also an illustrator, artist, and sculptor who specializes in dark folklore and animal mythology: The ageless cryptologist Thomas Merrylin is an intriguing, but fictional, character. The specimens he supposedly found do not showcase the skeletal structures of fairies, dragons, and other mythical creatures; the entire creation — from the museum, to the backstory, to the video, to the skeletons themselves — is the work of a particularly imaginative artist.
