In the next chapter, after Misora has been pestered with text messages from the "dead" Reon for several days, Misora's girlfriend and coworkers reveal it was all a candid camera prank for the TV station and the very-much-alive Reon is just a normal newbie they roped into it. She goes to agency president Sanada Hikaru about it in a rage, only to be told that Reon hanged herself a month ago in that apartment after a porn shoot.
Booty Royale: Never Go Down Without a Fight!: Misora meets a newbie model, Daidai Reon, during a shoot, who later lets slip by text that the agency doesn't let her leave that apartment. In reality, every werewolf and villagers are military, or former military, and the 'Green Witch' is a constructed identity specifically for Sieglinde to continue the Sarin gas project. Sieglinde is put in the role of the 'Green Witch' to perform spells and heal them. Strange werewolves plague the area, and their breath causes illness and eventually, death. She is first introduced as the leader of an obscure village in the heart of the German forest, where time seems to have stopped. Black Butler has a huge one in that the entire life of Sieglinde is constructed. In the Scooby-Doo-themed episode of Attack on Titan: Junior High, the 1 st years participated in the 57th Test of Courage to search for the "Wonders of Titan Junior High", only to realize that the ghosts that haunt the school are actually the 2 nd and 3 rd years pulling the strings. Related to Fake Mystery, when a crime plot turns out to be staged for a prank or other purposes.īecause the existence of a "Scooby-Doo" Hoax tends to remain secret from the audience until the ending and belie earlier assumptions, mere presence on this list can be considered a spoiler. For the good counterpart, see its sister trope Scarecrow Solution. The Inversion of a "Scooby-Doo" Hoax is Mistaken for an Imposter. See also Monster Protection Racket, where the monsters are real but they're being set up, and Monster Façade, where the monster is real, but it fakes the malevolence. One of the major exceptions to Skepticism Failure. This can be a real source of frustration to fans of Speculative Fiction, who tend to be drawn to certain works specifically because of the paranormal elements.Ī subtrope of Sham Supernatural. Then again, it may be double-subverted with a Shock-and-Switch Ending. Or they may get to see the real thing along with the characters. Indeed, the investigators may discover the truth and haul the instigators off to jail, and the audience alone gets to see the unambiguous and real apparition. The most common subversion is for all - or some - of it to prove Real After All or at least of uncertain origin. Sometimes the Hoax revolves around the application of one scientific fact or theatrical technique, for a valuable educational lesson. It allows the creator to play with some mild horror tropes in children's entertainment without irritating the Moral Guardians or introducing the supernatural to a real-life setting. This trope crops up a lot in works aimed at children, especially ones from the mid-20 th Century. 
On the other hand, the inversion - pretending that a place is haunted to attract public attention & make money on "haunted" fame - tends to work really well (not to mention it's significantly less illegal). Plus, those local cops would probably be far more attentive about "strange goings-on at the old lumbermill" (though they're probably thinking 'meth lab' over 'costumed jewel thieves'). The criminals wouldn't be able to move for New Agers, UFOlogists, people from shows like Ghost Hunters, James Randi fans, and other rubberneckers. Nowadays, however, this would be a really stupid ploy, as many alleged real life haunted houses and areas of "paranormal activity" are tourist attractions. Smugglers and other criminals could scare away intruders by dressing as ghosts. In the old days, this apparently really worked. Thus, it's up to those intrepid meddling kids to uncover the truth. Locals are typically too scared to take a closer look, and if the police aren't fooled themselves, they've already written off the whole thing as a juvenile prank not worth their time. By the end of the episode, they discover that the supposed supernatural activity or monster activity is nothing but an elaborate hoax taking advantage of local lore to frighten off the curious from discovering and interfering with their main criminal activity. The characters investigate a site with reported paranormal or other activity.
