This is of course a hoax, but it’s still great. Someone who says his name is James Richards claims he has a cassette tape of a Beatles album that was never released. He says:
On September 9, 2009, I experienced something that I still am having trouble believing happened to me. I came into the possession of a cassette tape containing a Beatles album that was never released. I don’t expect you to believe what happened to me, I sure wouldn’t, but thats why I grabbed the tape as proof that my experience was real.
In early 1958 sightings of a “little blue man” running along the side of Michigan highways began appearing in the news. It turned out that what motorists were seeing was actually a young man named Jerry Sprague, dressed in a costume that included: long underwear, a football helmet, gloves, combat boots, a bedsheet with two holes cut out for the eyes and a button sewed on for the mouth and blinking lights on the helmet — all of which had been spray painted a shade of blue that glowed faintly in the dark. He would jump out of the trunk of his friend’s car, run along the highway a bit, and then jump back in the trunk.
Marilyn Monroe seems to attract hoaxes, in the same way that Hitler, Bigfoot, and Paris Hilton do. I guess it’s because any news about Marilyn is guaranteed to get attention, which is what many hoaxers are looking for.
