2007 Photo Hoax Contest Slide Show

Phoney paranormal photos from readers

From Stephen Wagner, About.com

Welcome to the 2007 photo hoax contest slide show. As you'll see, there are many interesting entries this year, some more professionally done than others, but all entertaining in their own way.

This year's winner is Thomas Lee of Seattle, Washington with the photo "Headlamp Creature." The photo is well-executed and is accompanied by an interesting story.

Dr. Takeshi Yamada (last year's winner) again submitted several outstanding photos this year, but we wanted to give someone else a chance to win.

Thanks to all who submitted their bogus pictures – and congratulations to this year's winner!
