11. The Blair Witch Project
This movie, “The Blair Witch Project” that ranks 11th on our list of biggest internet hoaxes that fooled the world, was released back in 1999, and even though it was fiction, many people are not convinced that the events that were recorded were not real. One of the many things that fueled this belief was the real network of websites about the movie’s mythology, which was actually created by the movie makers as an incredibly clever Internet marketing campaign, convincing many that this movie was true documentary about the disappearing children in the woods. Shortly after its release, this movie was labeled as “actual footage”, and the main goal of the campaign was to trick people into believing that it was a legit documentary.
