Did you know that many people thought Sherlock Holmes was a real person?

thanks for your information.

Holmes is atleast real to me. I believe that people like Sherlock Holmes can exist. The author of Holmes A.C Doyle was more or less like Holmes. In fact he has caught one or twa thieves with the help of his scientific deductions.

wew... somebody think it's real??? wew.. so shock when read your topic ^^ yeah.. sherlock is character created by Sir Arthur COnan Doyle.. the really great char ^^

He is a real person! And living today. Retired and raising bees. At Sussex Downs, as I recall, somewhere near the Sourthern coast. Ask any Baker Street Irregular. He can fill you in on the straight scoop. Were you ever to London? To the Sherlock Holmes Pub. I have a deerstalker from my visit there in 1980.

He was in fact a fictional character. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created the Sherlock Holmes character after a professor that taught him. He wrote in an article that this professor has the ability to understand lots of things from the obvious things. He wrote that this real character inspired him to make Sherlock Holmes.
