My favorite Unsolved Mysteries stories are definitely the ones with haunted houses or places. The show has investigated quite a few ghosts over the years. My favorite ones are the Resurrection Mary and the Gurdon Light. I'd like to hear what everyone else's favorites are.

I'm not much for the ghost ones, I'm really a skeptic about that stuff. I don't buy into spontaneous combustion, reincarnation, the crying cross, the spiral staircase, UFO's, etc.
The one case I cannot explain, that still sends chills down the spine is the one about the ghost of Teresita Bassa (probably butchering her name). She was the woman who was a nurse in Chicago who was killed by Alan Showery. Her ghost spoke to a woman sleeping one night. It turned out this info. brought Showery to the attention of the cops, who then found the evidence to arrest/convict him. There was no way she could have known this and the cops had no other way to discover it was him. Eerie. |

The haunted house case that comes to mind the most is the one about the Haunted House in Nevada, I forget the exact city name.
The Unsolved Mysteries segment featured 2 families, the Kelsey's and the Robbinson's, who both lived in the house and always heard scarey footsteps in the hall way at night, people laughing, the children levitating off their beds and stuff like that. A few years after moving to a more modern house, the Kelsey's had a pretty weird encounter. The mother was taking pictures of her baby, and when the film was developed, there was a man on the first picture that looked like the first owner of the house, the ghost. Pretty freaky looking. The Robbinson's only lived in the house for a couple monthes, because they couldn't take all the haunting experiences. |

I remember that episode. Remember when the boy was upstairs and he heard those voices (laughter?)? And when he ran out of the house, he looked back and saw a man's face glaring at him through the window? FREAKING SCARY, MAN!!

The one where this couple bought some secondhand bunkbeds for their kids and the first night the kids slept in them all this weird stuff started happening. The clock radio would turn on by itself and stuff like that.

I have most of these on tape, including the Resurrection Mary and the Gurden Light episodes..
My favorites are the Queen Mary, Jim and Kay Tatum, Alan Tallman, and General Wayne Inn ghost episodes that originally aired the Halloween of 1988 |

I really loved the story about the General Wayne Inn. But then, I'm partial to anything having to do with the Civil War.
Other ghost story favorites: The haunted bunk beds, Queen Mary, Res. Mary. There was also another Civil War haunting story I like, but this one took place in a museum that was being restored. I remember a ghost asking for water. |

The one at the St. James Hotel scared the heck out of me. That ghoul behind the bar still gives me chills.

I never saw the Haunted Nevada story that everyone talks about. I'm dying to see it. But my favorite ghost stories are probably Civil War Ghosts, Frightened Family, Queen Mary, and Ressurection Mary.

Ohh, I second that, my favorites too. I also like the old couple, was it the Tatum's? The Nevada one was okay, maybe I need to rewatch it. I used to love the paranormal ones but towards the end of the series they started getting silly; I'm more for the murder/missing people ones now. |

Yeah the older couple who lived in Georgia I believe, were the Tatum's. That one was pretty interesting. I've always thought the ghost cases were some of the most interesting ones. I definitley enjoy them more than the UFO ones, but I like the UFO ones as well.

I think the best UM segment I have ever seen from a storytelling and production standpoint was the Black Hope Curse.

I'm a skeptic, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate ghost stories! I absolutely love them and cannot get enough of them. It's an interesting form of storytelling and folklore, IMO. I love reading between the lines of a ghost story, to see what message it's really conveying.
My favorite ones from UM are Resurrection Mary, the Civil War ghosts, and the Queen Mary. I drove by Resurrection Cemetary in Justice, Illinois once, but I never saw her!

The Tatum's were very believable to me; I felt bad for them, they seemed genuinly troubled by the situation. |
