Just a couple of pieces of Folklore/Fakelore;The first photo is of a head mounted in the front window of a Tennessee store, as explained in the blog when you follow the link:

And the second is a museum mount representing a fictional creature known as a Snouter. Some people have taken Snouters seriously because they had not known that the book is a work of fiction. Just to go on record; the book The Snouters (1967) is a work of fiction.
For the record, I have not heard the word `Fakelore` before, and think it is a jolly good term....
