One day, to prove to Elsie's parents that they aren't making it up, the girls take several photographs of them. Shocked, her mother takes the photos to an expert and they are declared genuine. Word gets out, and the girls become instant celebrities and the press and fairy hunters descend on their home.The film also stars Harvey Keitel as Harry Houdini and Peter O'Toole as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Artistic Licence – History: Aside from the fairies being shown as real, there's... Elsie was sixteen as opposed to twelve. This is presumably why you don't see any of the real photographs of Elsie - because she looked it in real life. Frances is said to be eight in the film, but she was nine when she went to stay with the Wrights.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Age Lift: Elsie is twelve in the film but was sixteen in real life. Frances was also nine but gets bumped down to eight.

Agent Scully: Harry Houdini's portrayal in the film (and in Real Life as well). Played with as Harry Houdini refuses to debunk the girls in the film because he doesn't want to subject a pair of innocent girls to the resulting media scrutiny. He's also reluctant (but more determined) to challenge his friend, Arthur Conan Doyle's, spiritualist beliefs because he feels his friend is being taken advantage of.
