Tomorrow is April Fool's Day. My searches bring forth strange objects from the sea of information. Pinterest is such a site and full of real and imagined picture stories. They seem like April Fool's Jokes available year round.
Fact check: viral photo of castle built on rock is just a fairytale, not reality.
The doctored image shows a castle on top of a V-shaped rock which towers steeply over the water. A door with a ladder leading down to a boat on the water can be seen carved into the lower part of the rock. The misleading post’s caption states: “Castle on the rock..” with a shocked emoji.
News 18 Buzz went about checking the story. The island is an islet in Thailand's Phang Aga province and known as the James Bond Island as it was in the 1974 film, "The Man with the Golden Gun." The castle is the 19th-century Lichtenstein Castle in southern Germany. Here are the comparisons:
These are photographic hoaxes. There are a number of amazing pictures of elevated islands with houses on top.
These pictures go off to ads and various lost websites. That's a feature of Pinterest. One seldom finds the article to read about the topic.
