1. Conan Doyle failed on his case because his own personal beliefs got in the way of him thinking about this case logically. He misinterpreted evidence and ruled out the two girls who had taken the photos. He fully believed in the existence of fairies and was acting on that belief.
2. Many of the women who went to the Hull House all had a shared feeling of hardships in life like loss, loneliness, and being victims. One woman shared that she had lost a child and was seeking comfort. Since they were vulnerable they want something where their hardships can be answered and where they can have faith. Similar to Conan Doyle who had lost people he cared about in the war and sought comfort and faith in believing in fairies.
3. I agree with Doyle because people's understanding of the world is always changing. New theories are always being proven so believing that there are some things that are just beyond science isn't crazy. Though I can't think of a specific mystery that I think is beyond science.
4. Mermaids who are half human and half fish who have been in folktales and stories for years. So many people have claimed to have seen them jumping from the water or swimming on the top.
