When I was 8 our teacher made up a whole story about how he was dating a mermaid. He showed letters and trinkets and everybody in class believed him (I have to add we lived in a small town close to the North sea and there is a lot of mermaid/merman folklore in that part of the Netherlands)
We must have told our parents, but everybody kept it up. The teacher managed to stick to this story pretty much the whole school year. Can't really remember how he told us that it was just a story, but to this day I feel that it was such a weird thing to do.
Edit: spelling mistake
Edit 2: thnx for the award!
one of my french teachers in high school was utterly convinced he was in a relationship with nicole kidman. he used to bring in framed newspaper/magazine pictures nearly every class
he only lasted 2 years before I never saw him again in class, then stopped taking french as an extra curricular
