What was the segment called where these people were asleep and saw a ghost on the TV screen? I think it was in a hotel. This is not the same story as the polaroid of the ghost from the TV screen.

I may have solved this myself by checking the imdb board where someone else was talking about it. Apparently it's the Hotel De Coronado in San Diego. Too bad that episode isn't on the DVD.

If I remember correctly, the location was at an old hotel on the east coast (Maybe Virginia, Penn or Mass.) that dated back to colonial times and that had some famous early American politicians stay in it.

This was the same segment where the "ghosts" made a car alarm go off. They also supposedly would walk around the bar area and blow on women's necks. I believe the TV screen thing also happened in the bar area and the screen slowly rotated 180 degrees (and there appeared a picture of George Washington or someone similar on the screen). The TV's were apparently checked and no mechanical problems could be found.

I tend to think that most of the hotel hauntings are a publicity stunt in order to bring business in and to receive free advertising. If you will notice, many of these hotels on these segments were just recently rennovated when the show aired, thus arousing my suspicion of a publicity stunt.

No, that was the General Wayne Inn in PA. It's on the DVD set. It did have many similar ghostly apparitions though, like the severed head sitting on the counter.

I do remember the severed head sitting on a table, but I don't want to connect it to the car alarm ghost segment, though it could very well be. I also remember a late night cleaning guy seeing a young boy with a mangled face sitting on the bar spinning a glass with his finger.

It is possible I have this segment confused with another, but if I do, the two segments were broadcast in the same episode. I definitely remember the TV screen doing a 180 and I feel that it happened in the bar area of that hotel. Since there are so many of these hotel hauntings, I do not proclaim 100% certainty on this. For some reason I keep wanting to connect the TV incident to that hotel.

Can anyone confirm or deny?

The severed head, the car alarm, and the rotating tv screen were all in the General Wayne's Inn episode. I remember the boy at the bar being from another episode, but don't recall which.

So, I have the right episode, but the TV screen thing didn't happen at the General Wayne Inn? Is this correct? You are probably correct, I usually breeze through the ghost segments without much second thought.

The TV rotation allegedly did happen at the General Wayne Inn.

The boy with the mangled face sitting at the bar was at the St. James.

Thanks, justin. I knew I wasn't completely insane. ;)

I said the rotating TV *was* in General Wayne's Inn.

leafygreens,

your avatar...nice!

Actually, rennovations do stir up ghostly activity, so I wouldnt say its just a publicity stunt. Since I live in Maryland and travel to Pennsylvania often, I wanna stay at the General Wayne Inn and see for myself if it is haunted or not.

I live in NJ,and remember hearing a while back that the owner of General Wayne Inn murdered his business partner/coowner.

mike,

The ghosts made him do it. ;)

I'm watching an episode of Forensic Files right now about the murder at the General Wayne Inn. The owner's name was Jim Webb. They did mention that Webb had a tough time getting customers when he bought the Inn partially because of the reputation of it being haunted (I personally think that would be a draw, but that's just me). But there was no mention of UM.

Bump. Any news on which segment this is?

In 1991, there was a CBS(?) television special called "Haunted Lives" that was narrated by Leonard Nimoy, and there was a story on the program about a man who saw a ghost in a TV screen.

I would be interested to see Haunted Lives but it does not appear to be on DVD. However I'm almost positive the story I'm looking for aired on UM, at some point.

Surprisingly, I found an IMDB page for Haunted Lives

In the forum, someone mentions that the ghost in the TV was at the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego.

Now, I may be misremembering, but what I'm wondering is did UM do a story about this hotel also? I think they might have, and that may be reason for some of the confusion.

Admittedly, ghost stories aren't my forte.

I think I remember a segment where a ghost called 'Samuel' showed up in one of the family's developed pictures. This picture was of a 'man' with a bald head showing up in a TV screen. I believe this haunted house was in Nevada and the Kelsay and Robinson families stayed in that house.

Was that a TV screen or just in the picture?

Can't remember the name of the town though.

Fish Springs, Nevada. Originally built in Virginia City, Nevada and moved 3 times, according to the narration.

People can't understand why the house survived for over a century and the only explanation they can come up with is that ghosts are keeping the house alive. :rolleyes:

I don't believe this one. Just about everyone interviewed is smirking or has shifty eyes. They don't really come across as credible, imo. The photo of the tv screen they tried to pass off on everyone just confirms it.
