What Unsolved Mysteries genres freak you out the most? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The murder cases or the ghost stories? For me, I'm a little unnerved by some of the ghost stories, like the Lizzie Borden one and the one about the Queen Mary. The re-enactment of the Lizzie Borden episode is hard to watch at night, especially hearing the old nursery rhyme that goes with it and the part where the lady sees Lizzie's ghost in the basement. Hearing the audio recordings of the sounds from Queen Mary are eerie too (not something I'd like to stumble upon anytime soon). The circumstances behind the ATV murders and other episodes like the Jasper Watkins and prostitute killings episodes make it hard for me to sleep sometimes, the whole stories just send shivers down your spine.

While I was freaked out by a lot of the ghost segments, the "Unexplained Death" ones always scared me the most. Not in a frightened sense, but more unnerving, especially if there was a possibility that the person was murdered. Some of the "Missing Persons" cases made me feel the same way.

the murders really scared the crap out of me when i was a kid. sometimes certain cases kinda creep me out only at night though.

When I was younger, I found the unexplained death and missing person genres the most unnerving. I will say though that the first time I saw the Fish Springs Nevada haunted house story I was very young and so terrified I couldn't sleep at all and stayed awake the whole night watching movies like Batman '89.

Undoubtedly the unexplained murders/disappearances, such as the New Hampshire serial killer, Dexter Stefonek, Blind River Rest Stop, etc. Victims of circumstance cases.

UMFaninMD · 10-10-2011, 07:16 PM

Definitely the missing persons, murders, unexplained deaths and the random assaults, like the Christmas hit and run, "Debbie," "L'enfant" and "Carol." Some of the UFO and ghost segments were also pretty creepy.

The Omar Arsonist case was quite unnerving as well.

Ghost stories have never bothered me.

It's always been murders, unexplained deaths, and missing persons.

People who are just... gone. Dropped off the face of the earth. And not because they went hiking in some remote forest, but because some form of foul play was involved.

born2late · 10-11-2011, 03:19 PM

Ghost, aliens and weird creatures. They are freaky, but I love those.

jojo_D · 10-11-2011, 04:27 PM

Missing people. Especially the Collen Reed, Debra Poe, and Angela Hammond segments. They gave me nightmares.

The ghost segments were just funny to me, never did creep me out at all or bother me.

Yes, exactly. I get chills watching those.

Missing persons, unexplained deaths, unsolved murders, I love to research and investigate most any kind of unsolved mysteries except usually i'd rather put my energy into the above than say ghosts, ufos and chupacobra type stuff.

mystery_daisy · 10-11-2011, 07:53 PM

...although i do find natural unexplained phenomena interesting - like the Gurdon Light.

Princess Lola · 10-12-2011, 07:25 PM

Unexplained death cases especially where there are stalking elements to them or freaky clues.

MegtheEgg86 · 10-17-2011, 06:57 AM

It's a tie between "Unexplained Death" and "Missing Person". Some of the "Wanted" segments were pretty bad too!
