Nags Head – Your Mama told you not to believe everything you see on TV, but that didn’t stop her from believing everything she sees on Facebook. You’ve seen them. Fantastically realistic photos popping up in your feed. Aliens, mermaids, tidal waves, you name it. You will never know what will pop up.
The artist behind it all is none other than local photographer Randy Snap.
“I started making these as a way to practice my Photoshop skills. I got so good at it, I thought I would share them with my Facebook friends. I had no idea people would start taking these so seriously,” said Snap.
“Y’all is this real?” said 48 year old mother of three, Wanda Creef, on Snap’s latest photoshop post.
“Oh mah gawd I can’t believe they having a dragon attack right now in Frisco!” said a gullible attorney from Corova.
“My great aunt Sarah from Illinois called me to make sure we was okay after seeing this photo. How is there still an island when the waves are this big?” Asked another confused local in the Facebook group.
“My great grandpappy Daniels always told me Mermaids were real! Now I have proof. Thanks for posting this and doing us all a service,” said a Wanchese man who calls the New York Times “Fake News.”
