The winged bodies of fairies, werewolves and aliens are said to have been found in the basement of an old house in London.
The macabre collection features a variety of mythical beasts, in boxes and jars in macabre poses.
Fairies are seen with decomposed flesh and wings nailed to boards joining sinister-looking distorted alien bodies and hairy humanoid remains.
The hoard also includes sketches of Jack the Ripper’s victims, Catherine Eddowes and Elizabeth Stride, along with presumed human hearts and other internal organs preserved in jars.

These grotesque exhibits are said to be part of the collection of Thomas Theodore Merrylin, who is described as “a wealthy 19th-century biologist and aristocrat.”
A blog post about the supposed finds stated: “In 1960, in London, during the process of clearing land for the construction of a new residential area, the long-abandoned old mansion belonging to Thomas Theodore Merrylin was scheduled for demolition.
“In the basement of the house, the builders discovered thousands of small sealed wooden boxes.
“Imagine their surprise when they began to find inside the bodies of strange mythical creatures, which seemed to exist only in fairy tales.”

The shocking artifacts were revealed by artist Alex CF, who claims that Merrylin’s diary deals with “all kinds of advanced ideas that didn’t exist at the time, such as quantum physics.” and multiverse theory”.
His diary is also said to contain scientific explanations for many seemingly mythical specimens in his collection.
Alex CF claims to be the curator of the collection, which can be viewed online.
But the story is essentially a narrative carefully constructed by the artist.

Commenting on this detail, an online commenter named James Campbell wrote: “This guy ransacked the props department of Hammer movies? I’m the one who told you all to come here.
“If specimens like this were really found, the British Museum would dedicate a whole wing to it.”
And another, named Trey Wait, added: “Obviously fake, but still great! “I really want these.”
