I just watched UM and it was the missing case of Dottie Caylor. This women who went missing in 1985 or so and till this day she hasn't returned. We are presuming she is dead now. The husband who is a suspect but the cops have nothing on him and still free to this daywas on the show said "Living with her was a living hell. SINCe she had left, life has been pretty good". I legit LOL'd.


Dude even look a bit like Stipe.

I use to love unsolved mysteries too. I especially like the episodes where they talked about the lockness monster. I like how they had the host standing in the mist in a trench coat.
I think my favorite episodes were the ones involving the stories tants, red eyed creature , shared vision, crypt ghost and subway.
 
My main concern with this show is that, at least in S1, they outright tell you that they "reserve the right to change names and details"--names I get, but details? What details? Brolin as the host will also says shit like, "Was this INSPIRED by a true story?"

So it makes you wonder how accurately they're even sticking with the supposedly true stories each episode is based on.

That's hilarious.

How are you watching UM these days? Amazon or something else?
 
Loved this show 20 years ago. Was another show that I can't remember the name of, would come on Fox around this same time like a action adventure based in the middle ages? Anybody remember that?
 
I remember there was a creepy ass story where some kid was getting bulllied at a birthday party and got locked in a closet. Later on, the main bully got put in the closet and started screaming, "Oh my god, let me out. It's in here with me". When the kids ran off and the parents came to investigate the kid had disappeared.

I thought for sure bullshit, but it was one of the true stories:

I actually watched that one just last night and even did some reading on it.

Not sure if what I read was true, but if it was, in the true story that segment was based on the kid was later found at a neighbors. If THAT'S true though, how the fuck did he get out of the closet?
 
Show was awesome - is that the one Cmdr. Riker used to host?

I remember it. I always wondered exactly how they verified that the "real" stories were actually real.

I actually have a bit of relevant info on that. According to this article:

Created by Lynn Lehmann, the show was broadcast on FOX from 1997 through 2002 largely riding the success of The X-Files which was just hitting its peak in 1997 and 1998. The majority of ‘true’ stories came courtesy of writer Robert Tralins, most known for his supernatural books in the late 1960’s and 1970’s including: Strange Events Beyond Human Understanding, Weird People of the Unknown, Children of the Supernatural, and Clairvoyance in Women. Many of the false stories were merely dressed up takes and spins on popular urban legends, making them often easy to spot as fake if astute viewers knew the urban legends they were based off of.

Yeah, I remember it. The one that pops into my head was the woman with red glowing eyes, but I remember that it didn't end up making sense.
 
I remember that show! It had the guy that played Superman in Lois and Clark or whatever as the host, right?
