scotterguy911 08-30-2004, 07:45 AM .
unsolved_on_film 08-30-2004, 01:05 PM One question for now...
Are the segments in their original form, or are they reformated in the way that Lifetime reformatted the show? (such as giving the graphics a new look, and putting all the interview person's info in a blue and black graphic box). The old segments just used white text superimposed over the picture for the interviews. This has been my main concern for the DVDs.
scotterguy911 08-30-2004, 06:19 PM So far, it seems everything uses the new format.
sharkie54 08-31-2004, 12:42 AM what are the ghost segments? Are they all on there? How's the picture and sound quality? Commentairies?

I haven't listened to the commentaries yet .. the introductions are okay .. the two producers talk about ghosts & UFOs. The Robert Stack tribute is very touching. The picture quality is quite good. I would imagine they probably used the original film when making the DVD's. There is little grain or distortion. The sound is, as previously stated, 5.1 Dolby Digital. The DVDs are presented in full screen 4:3 format.
sharkie54 08-31-2004, 12:59 AM I forget what the segment is called, but is the one with the tale of the two families in the Nevada house on there? The one where the kid looks at the window and sees the ghost.
And, what about the bunk bed segment?
These two are the best. Are these on there?
scotterguy911 08-31-2004, 01:09 AM I'm not sure .. haven't even started watching it.

scotterguy911 08-31-2004, 01:53 PM $37.34
Mystery-Lover 08-31-2004, 05:13 PM What part of the country do live in? Do live by California?
scotterguy911 08-31-2004, 09:57 PM I live in Southern Indiana .. The Wal-Mart was a Supercenter that had recently opened.
sharkie54 09-01-2004, 01:19 AM Have you been through the ghost stories yet? Is the bunkbed story or the house in Nevada stories on there? Post once you find out. Thanks!
unsolved_on_film 09-01-2004, 03:16 AM well, I know the Tallman's Ghost IS the bunk bed segment, so yes, he did list that one.
Dr. Jazz 09-01-2004, 08:01 AM I'm assuming that "Friendly Ghost" is the Bill Bailey story. Which one of those could be the Gray Ghost from St. Pawley's Island, SC? Moss Beach Ghost maybe?
scotterguy911 09-01-2004, 08:08 AM "Friendly Ghost" -- For the past 170 years, a friendly ghost, The Grey Man, has warned the island of impending natural disasters.
Moss Beach is a distillery/restaurant.

I was going to ask the exact same thing, sharkie. The Nevada house haunting was one of the best. Especially where the kid runs outside and the front door continues to slam open and shut and then a ghostly face peaks out the window. Also the part where the mother of the first family was taking pictures of her new born and when they were developed, there was a man on the first picture who resembled the first owner of the house!
sharkie54 09-01-2004, 06:51 PM dynoguy88,
Yeah, the Nevada House segment is the best one. If it's not on the DVD, I wouldn't know why because it's the most relaistic and erie one, or at least one of them.
So, scotterguy911, let us know if it's on there if you get to it?
Tatum's ghost...is that the one with the older couple and the bell?
Matchmaker ghost, blimp ghost and Always, Karen...which ones are these?
sharkie54 09-01-2004, 06:56 PM dynoguy88,
I was looking at the list and until he can confirm whether the Nevada house is on there or not...the only two on the list that I seem like the Nevada house would be either
The Entity or Frightened Family.
However, I dont remember what these two are about, so I have no clue.
dynoguy88 09-01-2004, 08:12 PM I thought it might be the "Frightened Family," but there were actually 2 families that were spooked; The Kelsey's and the Robinson's.
One more thing about that Nevada house, what makes it more feaky looking is not only because it looks really old, but because it doesn't look like there are neighbors close by. A newspaper article in the segment said the house is in the hills which I guess means it's pretty secluded. If my family lived there, I would be spending most of my time at my neighbors. ;-)
scotterguy911 09-01-2004, 08:55 PM Frightened Family -- A couple moves into a house and begins to hear strange noises from the attic area. They find out a young child had died in the house.
Ghostly Attraction (maybe this is it) -- In 1990, the Hatley's moved into a 109 year old mansion only to discover their home haunted by the ghost of John Hardin, 32, who was murdered while putting out a deliberately set fire in his truck in 1975.
Guys if it's not one of these, it most likely isn't on the DVDs because none of the other episodes have descriptions that sound like that.

You just need to go ahead and list the rest of the story descriptions when you have time, then we probably won't bother you with any more questions about which ghost story is which. It's hard to think of which stories they are with the titles that were given and no, we can't wait another month to find out for ourselves you lucky dog :lol: Thanks in advance for the list! I know it will make your fellow Unsolved Mysteries fans here very happy :cool:
scotterguy911 09-01-2004, 09:13 PM Guys, I'm not typing them all because these descriptions are long. If you guys want to request the descriptions of specific ones (and not all) then I will post those.
sharkie54 09-01-2004, 09:21 PM The Entity??? Could this be the one? Oh, and to your knowledge, do you know which ones they have left off so far?

I asked nicely LOL very well, I just thought you might be getting tired of all of us asking you about certain stories on the DVD. If we have any more questions I'm sure we'll ask lol otherwise, October will be here before you know it. You managed to get it before any of us, so you're cool with me :cool:
scotterguy911 09-01-2004, 09:23 PM The Entity involves three texas cowboys who live in a house in which bangs and booms and other sonic effects are heard at night.
The only one that comes to mind that is missing is the La Posada Hotel in Sante Fe.
dynoguy88 09-01-2004, 11:45 PM O.K., I'm going to try to remember every detail I can so that you can compare with the descriptions.
The house is in Nevada, and looked like a small two story farm house. The house was over 120 years old. The segment involves two families; the Kelsey's and the Robinson's. The Kelsey's first experience with the hauntings was hearing footsteps in the middle of the night coming up the stairs, down the hallway and into their daughters bedroom. Every time they checked, they didn't see anything. One night lying in bed, the daughter turned over and saw two ghostly figures staring at her from the side of her bed; a man and a young boy. They vanished a few seconds later and eventually her bed started to levitate. The Kelsey's contacted a psychic (can't remember his name) who visited the house and then went home and put himself under a transe. During his transe, he said he met the Kelsey's ghost. The ghost looked just like the owner who originally owned the house in the late 1800's. The psychic told the ghost that he was scaring the family members who lived there and the ghost replied by saying he didn't mean to scare anyone and that he wanted to protect the child. After this transe, the footsteps and strange noises in the middle of the night stopped.
A few years later, the Kelsey's moved to a more modern house a few miles away. (They still owned the farm house.) One night, Mrs. Kelsey was taking pictures (a whole role of film) of her new born son. After she got the pictures developed, she opened them up and there was a man on the first picture. At first, she thought she got the wrong pictures, but after that first initial picture, the rest of the role was of her son. The picture, which looks pretty scary, shows a man, part of his face shadowed and the rest of the picture black. Surprisingly, the man looked alot like the original owner of the farm house. The picture made headlines but some thought the Kelsey's just took a picture of their television set even though they insisted they never did. Their daughter made the comment that the ghost must have followed them to their new home.
About a year or so later, a new family moved into the farm house; the Robinson's. They leased the house from the Kelsey's. Needless to say, the Robinson's experiences with the hauntings of the house were even more scary. At first, everything was fine but eventually in the middle of the night the noises started; the footsteps, the bangs, everything. One very frightening experience happened in the middle of the day with the Robinson's oldest son. He heard a woman laughing upstairs (nobody was up there) when he went upstairs to investigate, the laughing got louder and then he heard the sounds of men and women groaning very loudly. Frightened, he ran downstairs and out the front door into the yard. When he turned around to look back at the house, the front screen door continued to slam open and shut by itself. And then a ghostly image of a man appeared in the window. A short time later, another son had an experience in the middle of the night when he levitated off his bed. Over the next few weeks, the sounds in the middle of the night got louder. Mrs. Robinson even heard a man's voice behind her bed call her a "b*tch in the middle of the night. It got to the point where she would stay up all night and put all the kids in one bedroom. The noises never stopped and the Robinson's had had enough. They moved out of the house only a couple months after they had moved in. Mrs. Robinson says that you never believe something like that can happen until it happens to you.
The Kelsey's, who still owned the house, once again called up the psychic. Once again he put himself under a transe and once again, he claimed he met ghosts, only this time, different ones; two men and one woman. He said he asked the ghosts to leave the house but it was too late to do the Robinson's any good. They had already moved far away.
At the end of the segment, Robert Stack tells us that another family has moved into the house and after 6 months, they have reported no suspicious nosies or hauntings.
Sheesh! I got goosebumps just typing this. I'm surprised I remembered so much.
sharkie54 09-02-2004, 12:17 AM dynoguy88
I agree with you. Judging from the titles listed, it looks like its not on there. Why they didn't put that on there is beyond me. Until it's confirmed, we wont know. Anyways, the story is erie because it's a haunted house...it's an old house, it's old fashion and creepy. Plus, it was one of the first ghost segments they did. Leaving this one off is pure stupidity. Actually, leaving any of them off is crazy.
scotterguy911 09-02-2004, 09:51 AM None of the descriptions match that.
scotterguy911 09-02-2004, 01:21 PM Wanted to correct something .. Apparently not all of them are in the new format. It appears that the ones I watched were the newer ones. They are all in their original format (name tags, etc).
Dr. Jazz 09-02-2004, 01:46 PM scotterguy, have you come across the Bill Bailey story yet? Going by the titles, I'm not sure if it's on there.
scotterguy911 09-02-2004, 01:52 PM I haven't watched the Ghost one yet .. can you tell me more than the "Bill Bailey" story?
Dr. Jazz 09-02-2004, 02:02 PM Originally posted by scotterguy911

Bill Bailey designed & had his own castle-style mansion built & he died before it was finished. After that his ghost continued to haunt the mansion. His wife & butler saw Bill's ghost standing on the balcony that leads to the bedrooms one night. After his wife sold the mansion, it became a boy's school & they complained about hearing eery organ music at night. The current couple who lived in the mansion at the time of the UM taping said that Bill's ghost had never shown himself to them, but objects would move around on their own, such as a loaf of bread flying across the kitchen by itself. Once when they went for a walk & it started raining hard & they realized they had left the windows open & when they got home all the windows had been latched shut. Hope that helps.
scotterguy911 09-02-2004, 02:06 PM No descriptions match those.
Dr. Jazz 09-02-2004, 02:09 PM Originally posted by scotterguy911

Dang! Thanks anyway. Well at least now you know about the Bill Bailey story :lol:
dynoguy88 09-02-2004, 02:11 PM Sheesh! I can't believe the Nevada house isn't on there! That's one of the best ghost stories they have ever shown.
scotterguy911 09-02-2004, 02:13 PM Well, as the directors discuss on the DVD, they've included the most credible and historically significant ghost stories.
scottieguy911, are the dvd cases the thinner type cases? Because to me your pics make the disc cases look like the transparent ones and possibly the thinner dvd cases. Is this correct? Also the covers seem to have a color glitter effect. Is this the case as well or was it the camera that did this effect?
And it also looks like each disc has its own color cover making the discs color coded in each set to be more recognised as in discs 1-4. Is that right?
I don't even know how my Unsolved Mysteries dvd sets will look. I live in Canada and there seems like there'll be a Canadian distributer releasing them over here. Hopefully they won't look any different. I had the choice of getting the US imported ones from the Amazon Canada site, but now the Canadian versions seem to be coming so I went with those to save me back another $10/set.
scotterguy911 09-02-2004, 11:05 PM Each set has 4 thin DVD cases .. on the front is the same thing .. on the back is the descriptions of the episodes on that DVD. The colors are all the same in the same set. It seems to have some effects when you hold it to the light.

Jeff003 09-08-2004, 01:23 PM I picked up my copy of the UFO one today and they only had 1 left at best buy I haven't seen the ghosts one yet.I've just finished watching disc 1 and the picture quality is pretty good.Also the bonus features are on disc 1.They have trailers for other first look dvds but for none of the unsolved mysteries.They do have a 5 minute documantary on the UFO one.There is also a play all feature on this but I didn't have to use the play all as it automatically played thru all episodes.Disc 1 has 2 commentarys which I haven't wached yet one of them is on the Allagash one.I can't remember the other one.Also the tribute to Robert Stack is on disc 1.The price I had to pay was $42 + tax.There is one thing I noticed about the packaging that I'm a little dissapointed with.The Cardboard sleve that houses the 4 disc just says Unsolved Mysteries on the side.It doesn't have UFOS listed.Since I like to display these by title so I'll know which is which with having to take them out I would have like to seen the subject besides unsolved.It's no big deal thou I'm just glad to have these.I cut a small peice of printer paper and taped it next to the unsolved mysteries and wrote on it UFOS.I will do the same with the otheres.:)
Blackout 09-08-2004, 02:53 PM over here, best buy didnt have it, kmart didnt have it, walmart didnt have it and circuit city didnt have it but said they'd get it by next week
whats up with the distribution deal they signed for this? I know Maine is a small state but I actually live in a city and cant find it :mad: :(

I don't know why a lot of stores don't have it.I couldn't find it at target or walmart and I only found 1 at best buy.I hope future volumes are easier to find.Cduniverse.com has it if you can't find it in stores.I don't like ordering online.I only use that as a last resort.
Jeff003 09-10-2004, 10:42 AM I just watched all the episodes on all 4 disc.To answer some of your questions all of the UFO episodes Unsolved showed are not on here.Gulf Breeze and Betty and Barney Hill are missing but they might be included on future disc.I'm still happy thou I really love this set.Also the same extras are included on all 4 disc.I haven't seen the commentaries yet I've just seen all the episodes.I plan on watching them soon.There are 2 commentaries per disc.
Dr. Jazz 09-13-2004, 08:39 PM My sister (who lives 3 hours away from me) just called to tell me that she picked up the Ghosts DVD set at Wal-Mart this evening!
Damn, is everybody finding this set early but me? It appears that certain Wal-Marts are putting this set out early, but not mine :mad:
CLAWS1051 09-13-2004, 11:39 PM Does it have the disclaimer on this, and does it show some of the headlines (Fraud, Wanted, Missing Persons,) after Robert Stack would say "Join Me for Unsolved Mysteries."
Jeff003 09-14-2004, 01:21 AM By Disclaimer I assume you mean when they say this show is about unsolved mysteries then no it isn't on there.To answer your other question no he mentions about UFO's however some of the solved cases are in the bonuses.To those of you who got ghosts early is the Hidey Wireck one is on there?This is the one were the little girl can see dead people.
Dr. Jazz 09-16-2004, 10:25 AM I GOT THE GHOSTS DVD!! I stopped by Wal-Mart early this morning on my way to work & told those people to go in the back & look if they have it in some boxes or something & sure enough the lady came back with some. They had 3 other copies of it & she went ahead & put them out on the shelf in the DVD section. I'm starting to think that ALL Wal-Marts have this DVD already in stock, just some Wal-Marts have not put them out on the shelfs yet. I definately know what I'm gonna be watching tonight! :D
dynoguy88 09-16-2004, 12:54 PM Well, I just got the "Ghosts" DVD set yesterday at Best Buy. Took a look at it on my fears were realized - The Nevada haunted house isn't on there. The producers said they wanted to put the scariest ones on there and I think that was the scariest haunting one they ever did. Oh well.
The haunted house in Wisconsin, with the bunk bed, is on there.
I was happy to see that they included an earlier segment - the haunted house in Florida that is believed to be haunted by the former owner who was murdered in his driveway in 1975 in the middle of the night as he tried to put out a fire that had been set to his truck. A person was hiding in the bushes and shot him.
A good DVD set I must say. But I'm really looking forward to seeing the bizarre murders set. Are they going to to be doing a missing persons one as well?
sharkie54 09-16-2004, 03:51 PM dynoguy88,
To your knowledge, which ghost stories ARE NOT on the DVDs??
I agree w/ you about the Nevada house. Why would they put something like ALWAYS, KAREN on there and not the Nevada house. I thought this was suppose to be "scariest ghost stories."
Anyways, in addition to the stories not on there...what is or are the scariest stories on the dvd in your opinion other than the Bunk bed segment. Just curious.
Thanks
Dr. Jazz 09-17-2004, 01:37 AM Here they are, all of the ghost stories that are on the DVDs. These are the descriptions on the back of each disc.
Disc 1:
Friendly Ghost - For the past 170 years, a friendly ghost, the Grey Man, has warned the island of impending natural disasters. Homes of those who saw the ghost have been mysteriously spared from hurricanes and natural disasters. The ghost walks the beach areas looking for his lost love.
Resurrection Mary - For more than half a century, a pale, mysterious young woman known as Resurrection Mary, has teased and beguiled residents of the city of Chicago.
Matchmaker Ghost - Hauntings by the ghost of Mary Green, the only woman to pilot a sternwheeler, brought Mike & Myra together while working on the Delta Queen; they became inseparable and later married
Queen Mary Ghosts - Ocean liner Queen Mary, docked in Long Beach, has been the site of ghosts, poltergeists and apparitions. Passengers and crew have seen strange occurences.
Grace's Ghost - Ghost of a woman who was killed by her lover at a resort in the Adirondacks, continues to haunt the area.
Voice from the Grave - Teresita Basa was murdered in her Chicago apartment. There were no suspects and police were at a dead end until another woman allegedly became possessed with Teresita's spirit and told her the killer's name, Allan Showery. Showery was sentenced to 14 years in prison.
Ghosts Go to Court - Andres and Josie Smith say the 250-year-old Lowe's Cottage in England, that they purchased from sisters Melbourne and Sandra Podmore in 1994, is haunted. The house is plagued with flying objects, ghostly apparitions, and a malevolent presence that led the Smiths to seek relief in the form of an exorcism.
The Entity - Three partners bought a 3000-acre ranch in the Texas hills and moved into the main building. Almost every night the men heard loud crashing noises and stomping. Dr. William Roll was called in to check it out.
Ghost Boy - Denice Jones was cleaning the kitchen one night when she heard a scream in her youngest son's bedroom. Alarmed, Denice ran upstairs to find five-year-old son Michael curled up in the corner of his room. He explained that a "crayon color white man" had come to his room and tried to touch his shoulder. He was sent to warn Michael to "stay away from the bad ghosts." But the warning would prove futile. Soon, Michael and his family say they were plagued by spirits in their home: glowing balls of light, levitating furniture, and demons that would physically leave their mark on Michael until he bled. Medical tests would reveal that Michael had no mental or physical problems to explain this phenomenon.
Disc 2:
Black Hope Curse - Families flee a new Texas subdivision after a series of horrifying paranormal events precede the grisley discovery that their homes are built over an old slave burial ground. The movie "Poltergeist" was based in part on this true story.
Tallman's Ghost - The Tallman family of Wisconsin claims their house was invaded by ghosts, apparitions, threatening voices and poltergeists. The experiences became so intense that they were forced to flee their home.
Ghost Blimp - A blimp patrolling the California coast during WWII crashes in Daly City, but the crew members were not on board. What happened to them?
Gordy's Ghost - After a family moves into a new house, their young daughter sees a ghost. She identifies a photo of him as a man who lived next door.
Highway Vision - On Highway 50 on June 9, 1994, Christine Skubish fell asleep at the wheel and drove off the road. She died instantly, but her son Nick miraculously survived the crash. However, the car and boy were only found because two other travelers had a vision of a woman resembling the mother, which caused them to call the police.
Civil War Ghosts - In 1862, during the Civil War, a military installation was established on 60 acres overlooking Los Angeles Harbor. Today it is a museum, and many employees believe that some of the long dead spirits of the Civil War continue to roam the Drum Barracks.
Profiling the Paranormal - A seven member group called HOPE, claims to have organized and overseen nearly 100 exorcisms since its founding just a year ago. The exorcism of Kathy is provided as an example.
Ghost Lights - Eerie lights have appeared in the region of Marfa, Texas for the last 100 years. Countless people have witnessed the strange phenomena, but scientists can't explain it.
Disc 3:
Lizzie Borden's House - Now a bed & breakfast, the home of Lizzie Borden in Fall River, Massachusetts, the site of the infamous axe murders, is reportedly haunted. Reconditioned to resemble the house as it was in 1892, guests and employees alike have seen and heard strange things while inside. Some greet the occurence with excitement and curiosity, while some are afraid to go back inside.
Tatum's Ghost - Jim and Kay Tatum of Marietta, GA have experienced "supernatural" occurances in their new home. The "ghost" likes to tug on Kay's blouse while she's in the kitchen.
Ghostly Attraction - In 1990, the Hatley's moved into a 109-year-old mansion only to discover their home was haunted by the ghost of John Hardin, 32, who'd been murdered while putting out a deliberately-set fire in his truck in 1975.
Ghost Writer - A man who dies "returns" to his daughter to write a letter to his wife.
Mary Celeste - When the huge, three mastered frigate, Mary Celeste, was discovered floundering in the Atlantic, there was no sign of life aboard. The captain and crew seemingly vanished from this ship with no signs of foul play and no reason for the crew to abandon ship.
Comedy Store Ghosts - Patrons and stand-up comics describe the ghosts who inhabit this famed nightclub where Robin Williams, Jay Leno, and David Letterman - among many others - got their start.
Myrtles Plantation - At least 10 people have died violently at the Myrtles Plantation since it was built on an ancient Indian burial ground in 1796. Now it has been turned into a bed & breakfast where guests can spend the night in one of the beautifully appointed bedroom suites. But if you spend the night at the Myrtles, you may not be alone. Why is this lovely antebellum plantation considered the most haunted house in America? Who are the ghosts that haunt the Myrtles?
General Wayne Inn - Mysterious noises, smells and apparitions have led the owner of the General Wayne Inn in Merion, Pennsylvania, to claim a ghost is a permanent resident.
Devil's Backbone - It's called the Devil's Backbone, and when it comes to ghosts per square mile, few places are said to match these 4700 acres in central Texas, about 50 miles south of Austin.
Disc 4:
Gettysburg Ghosts - The hallowed fields of Gettysburg, the site of the Civil War battle where tens of thousands lost their lives, have been haunted by the ghosts of those killed before their time. There have been dozens of sightings of apparitions, many on the days the bloody battle was re-enacted.
Frightened Family - A couple moves into a house and begins to hear strange noises from the attic area. They find out a young child had died in the house.
Moss Beach Ghost - Over the years, eyewitnesses recount a series of strange happenings at the Moss Beach Distillery. As many as five different ghosts have lurked in or around the restaurant.
Lady in Black - Robert Davidson was struck by lightning and left for dead, until a ghostly Lady in Black came out of nowhere, saved his life, and vanished.
Bullock's Deadwood - In 1887, Sheriff Seth Bullock answered the call to clean up the mining town of Deadwood, South Dakota. In 1991, a psychic claims that Bullock was communicating with him to change Deadwood gambling laws or a period of lawlessness would ensue.
Lake Wales Haunting - In the fall of 1991, in Lake Wales, Florida, 19-year-old Alan Mann, began claiming he had seen a ghost in his bedroom. The family has deemed the house haunted.
Mystery Hum - All around the world, thousands of people say they are being tormented by the sound of a loud, persistent "Hum" no one else can detect. What is the source of the mysterious hum? Despite the best efforts of scientists and researchers, no one knows what is causing the noise, why only a select group can hear it, or what can be done to stop it.
Always, Karen - Karen Walker died of cancer when she was 21 - her parents go to a minister who communicates directly with their daughter and write a book about their experiences.
Well, there you have it. Hope this helps answer some of the questions anybody has about the set.

To your knowledge, which ghost stories ARE NOT on the DVDs??
I agree w/ you about the Nevada house. Why would they put something like ALWAYS, KAREN on there and not the Nevada house. I thought this was suppose to be "scariest ghost stories."
Anyways, in addition to the stories not on there...what is or are the scariest stories on the dvd in your opinion other than the Bunk bed segment. Just curious.
Thanks
Hmmmmmmmm, I can't really think of that many other hautings/ghost segments that weren't included unless I have missed more stories than I thought.
Other than the bunk bed case, I think the scariest is the one I mentioned above. The old victorian home in Claremont Florida that is believed to be haunted by the man that was murdered in his driveway back in the 70's. A woman who would later own the house in the 80's kept having dreams of being in that house always walking down the hallway, down the back staircase, through the kitcken and on to the back porch when she woke up. She later found out that that was the same pathway that the man who was murdered took when he ran into his driveway to put the fire out on his truck. She believes that the dream meant something and if it had lasted a little longer, they might of found out exactly what happened to the murder victim. It was as if his spirit was coming to her to get help in finding his killer.
Dr. Jazz 09-17-2004, 06:02 PM I've only watched the first disc so far, but I wonder if the one about the civil war place in Virginia (I think) is on there. There is a Civil War story but it doesn't sound like the one I'm thinking of. I'm thinking of the one where the two ladies are in their office building & they get on the elevator to go to the first floor & instead it takes them to the basement and when the elevator door opens, they see an old civil war-era hospital with soldiers being treated & this one doctor kept staring at them. Finally they got the door to close. They went back down to the basement the next morning & it was just the file room down there like it usuallly is.Anybody remember this one?

The one you're talking about is the Gettysbury segment.

PajamaYoga 09-20-2004, 09:04 PM To those who asked about this, as far as I know the UFO one shows the white letter font with the black shadow outline for those episodes, I'm not sure about the other ones yet. But the opening category/intro things has like the new UM format but shows the title not the category,(duh?)(ex; Allegash Abduction,not "The Unexplained") but has the old theme music from the early UM years.
