Let's find out. 544 00:41:39,140 --> 00:41:44,140 Our first story was about the woman who was haunted by the apparition in the mirror. 545 00:41:55,140 --> 00:41:59,140 Did this seem like something that you might have read about in the papers? 546 00:41:59,140 --> 00:42:03,140 Well, you might have. The events took place. 547 00:42:03,140 --> 00:42:07,140 And what about the condemned man who was saved from certain death 548 00:42:07,140 --> 00:42:10,140 by an electric chair that wouldn't work? 549 00:42:20,140 --> 00:42:22,140 Time. 550 00:42:25,140 --> 00:42:27,140 Time. 551 00:42:31,140 --> 00:42:34,140 Did this story seem impossible to you? 552 00:42:34,140 --> 00:42:37,140 Congratulations. It's total fiction. 553 00:42:37,140 --> 00:42:39,140 Vicki? 554 00:42:39,140 --> 00:42:44,140 Then there was the story of the family brought together by a message that may have come from the other side. 555 00:42:44,140 --> 00:42:48,140 What's up, man? What kind of accident? 556 00:42:48,140 --> 00:42:50,140 Is Vicki okay? 557 00:42:51,140 --> 00:42:53,140 Just tell me what happened. 558 00:42:53,140 --> 00:42:57,140 Did this story seem to be real? Did you think it was based on truth? 559 00:42:57,140 --> 00:43:00,140 Not this time. It's fiction. 560 00:43:00,140 --> 00:43:07,140 And how about our tale of the wronged wife, the flandering husband and the avenging bullet? 561 00:43:07,140 --> 00:43:23,140 Did you think this story was false? You're absolutely wrong. The bullet did find its mark. 562 00:43:23,140 --> 00:43:27,140 Our final plot told of the couple who were searching for their dream house 563 00:43:27,140 --> 00:43:30,140 and found something totally unexpected. 564 00:43:30,140 --> 00:43:34,140 Oh, Mrs. Seims, I'd like you to make the young couple who bought your house. 565 00:43:35,140 --> 00:43:40,140 It's you. You're the ghost. 566 00:43:40,140 --> 00:43:47,140 Do you think that you've got this one figured out? Did the events take place? Yes, they did. 567 00:43:47,140 --> 00:43:51,140 So how did you do at separating the real from the unreal tonight? 568 00:43:51,140 --> 00:43:57,140 Three of our stories were inspired by actual events and two were complete works of fiction. 569 00:43:58,140 --> 00:44:04,140 We hope you found tonight's stories both entertaining and thought-provoking. 570 00:44:04,140 --> 00:44:07,140 And the next time you sense something is an absolute lie. 571 00:44:07,140 --> 00:44:13,140 At least take a moment to consider. It might just be strange truth. Good night. 572 00:44:13,140 --> 00:44:20,140 Join us next time on Beyond Belief, Fact or Fiction. This is Don LaFontaine. 573 00:44:57,140 --> 00:44:59,140 .
