Strange, but true?

Anyone else remember this programme? Along with X-Files, it was vital viewing for any intrepid young ghost hunter. The only one I actually remember vividly was an episode where this guy sees someone indentical to him driving an identical van at a crossroads, but I can't seem to find that on Youtube.

I wanted to find a suitable clip, and the first one I've found seems to contain the right creepy/stupid ratio, although most of the creepiness comes from the ghost saying he is "lying on top of Janet" (one of the little girls), rather than in the believability of the poltergeist.



It's quite long but it's worth it to hear the end, when the "ghost" starts talking. The actual recording where he apparently talks is bizarre, because Boris Gross (that's his actual name, also check the tash), the guy apparently investigating the poltergeist, hears a dog barking and then says "My name is Boris, say my name", or something like that, and then you hear this really stupid, gruff "ghost" voice in response, saying "BORIS!". Why would you say "my name is Boris, say my name" if you heard a dog bark?

The bit with the pictures is funny too, because they're clearly just jumping off the bed. Also, I'll be amazed if it was medical practise to give little girls valium to help them sleep in the 70s.

Man, the crazy thing is I actually remember being scared by this programme. Kids will get scared by anything.

Tomorrow I think we're going to go play basketball; Matthew, if you read this, I haven't asked you yet but that includes you.

That's enough for today methinks.

Keep watching the skies!
