Beyond Belief Fact or Fiction
How many of you guys have ever watched this show. Even though it is kind of fake it is still fun to figure out which stories will be partially true and which stories will be totally made up. And in anycase the stories are pretty well acted out and are entertaining to watch nonetheless.
In general the stories that they claim are true are generally either urban legends or they are based off of a story that they know indeed did ocurr only they embelish a bit of it here and a bit of it there to make it seem more 'ghostly' or 'strange' than it actually was in real life. And if you notice they never actually say that after they claim a story was true they never actually say that the entire story was true. They always just say that an event like that did ocurr.
For instance on an episode of it I just watched they had a story that they claimed was true where a group of three college girls were traveling through the country on their way to a party at some other school or something. Well one of the girls claimed that she was hungry and wanted to stop at the next exit so they could go get something to eat. Soon they passed an advertisement board that was advertising of a place to eat at the next road coming up. So they exited off onto that road and the road turned into a dead end with no restaraunt to eat at ever appearing. So they turned around and went back onto the road that they were on to start off with and ran into an accident with a bunch of cars piled up and if they had not turned off they would have been involved in the accident. And when the policeman at the accident site stopped them and told them to turn around they asked him about the bullentin board he said that there was no bullentin board on this road. So the show says that the girls saw a bullentin board that wasn't there and it made them escape the accident.
Well I have had stories like that happen to me in the past minus the bullentin board part (not meaning exactly the same but similar stories in a way). So that story probably was an actual account but they just added in the bullentin board part of the story or the girls turned off the road for some other reason that wasn't in any way supernatural.
So that is how they usually come up with there true stories. Either take a complete urban legend or take an actual event that may be a little odd but not in any way supernatural and change a bit of it or add a bit more in to make it seem supernatural.
But the show is still entertaining to watch I think to see which ones they say are true and which ones they say are made up. And most of the stories are in general well acted out.
