1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Beyond belief, fact or fiction?

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Hosted by Jonathan Frakes.

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Tonight, your challenge is to separate what is true from what is false.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Five stories, some real, some fake.

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Can you judge which are fact or fiction?

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
To find out, you must enter a world of both truth and deception.

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
A world that is beyond belief.

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:40,000
The world of illusion and reality are often difficult to separate.

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,000
This frame contains the truth and the deception.

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
The world of illusion and reality are often difficult to separate.

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000
The world of illusion and reality are often difficult to separate.

12
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
This frame contains a three-dimensional sculpture of the face of Albert Einstein.

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
By moving the frame, the sculpture moves too.

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
We see both the left and right sides of Einstein's face.

15
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
You can even move it up or down.

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000
But here's the surprising truth.

17
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000
There is no sculpture on the side.

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Fact, the space where the face appears is concave.

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
The real face of Einstein is actually on the other side of the face.

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Einstein is actually on the other side.

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
So it is with our stories tonight.

22
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
What appears real may be hollow on the inside.

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Your challenge is to decide which are true and which are lies.

24
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
We'll tell the answers at the end of our show.

25
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Reality or illusion?

26
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Not an easy decision.

27
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
But don't ponder too hard.

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:48,000
The choice may be difficult, but it certainly doesn't take an Einstein.

29
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Comic books are serious business these days.

30
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Where once cartoons seem to be centered around characters like a clever mouse or a sassy bunny,

31
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
they're now more about terrorizing the reader into being a frightened mouse,

32
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
or reduced to a scared rabbit.

33
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Our story is about a cartoonist who once had the ability to draw terror in every panel.

34
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000
But lately, he's lost his touch.

35
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000
What's about to happen to his life is anything but comic.

36
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Izzy Wilson was once respected as the king of horror,

37
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,000
and made lots of money creating a variety of truly twisted comic books.

38
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000
But respect is the last thing he's now getting from his publisher.

39
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,000
The overbearing, insensitive, kip Sherman.

40
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Come on, Izzy. What are you doing to me?

41
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
I'm not doing anything to you, kip.

42
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000
I'm just trying to deliver something scary like you asked me to.

43
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Izzy, this is garbage!

44
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Guang's in a trash can, alright?

45
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000
That's good work. I think it's some of my best.

46
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
You gonna argue with me?

47
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
No, kip.

48
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
I just...

49
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
I just think it could really score for you.

50
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Yeah, yeah, maybe a two.

51
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
I need a ten.

52
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000
The kids today are a lot more sophisticated than they used to be, Izzy.

53
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Don't you know that? Hey, I can't even show my face at a comic book convention anymore, man.

54
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000
They're laughing at me.

55
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
It's gotta be the real thing, Izzy. It's gotta be real.

56
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Maybe I'll get out a little more blood or something.

57
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Izzy, any idiot can add blood?

58
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
What in the world happened to you?

59
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
It's the something you're not getting, okay?

60
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,000
It's the something that you're not getting.

61
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,000
And I don't know what happened to you, man. You used to be good.

62
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Maybe if you just gave me a little more direction.

63
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Direction?

64
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Oh, Izzy.

65
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
What more direction do you need, Izzy?

66
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,000
I want you to scare me. That's all. Don't you understand?

67
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Scare me, Izzy. I want you to scare me, man. I want you to scare me to death.

68
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Okay, okay, Kip. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't hit it for you, okay?

69
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
All right, just get out of here, man. Just go. Just go.

70
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
You better hit it this time, Izzy. It's over.

71
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000
I'm gonna hire one of these new kids right out of art school.

72
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
I'm sorry, man. Listen, I'm tired of carrying you, Izzy.

73
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
I've been carrying you for ten years, man.

74
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Understand. And make it quick.

75
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Burn out.

76
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000
That evening, Kip Sherman collapsed on his couch.

77
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
It was easier to collapse than to try to sleep with a guilty conscience.

78
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Huh?

79
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

80
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Take it easy. Take it easy.

81
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
The time isn't...

82
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Ah, man. Godly hour.

83
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Yeah.

84
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Sir, I'm sorry to bother you so late. Are you Kip Sherman?

85
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Yeah.

86
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Do you have an employee by the name of Izzy Wilson?

87
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Yeah? Why?

88
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
I hate to have to tell you this, but he committed suicide.

89
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Kip had destroyed Izzy.

90
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000
He had broken his spirit and taken away his will to live.

91
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Oh.

92
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,000
But he wasn't about to admit it.

93
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Izzy. This is Izzy.

94
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Oh, Izzy. I can't believe this.

95
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
He jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge.

96
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Yeah, we pulled him out of the bay a few hours ago.

97
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Last time you saw him, were there any problems?

98
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
No. No. He was in good spirits. He...

99
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000
This is too much. This is...

100
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000
It's like losing a member of the family, you know?

101
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000
I mean, I was his boss, but we were...

102
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,000
We were good friends, you know?

103
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000
I mean, really, we were brothers.

104
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Oh, man.

105
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Kip made several stops before he stumbled home in the early hours of the morning.

106
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,000
What's this?

107
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Oh, man, that's weird.

108
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000
He must have sent a messenger before he killed himself.

109
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000
The envelope was addressed to Kip from Izzy,

110
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,000
and from the feel of it, it contained illustrations.

111
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000
The envelope was addressed to Kip from Izzy,

112
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000
and contained illustrations.

113
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000
What a day.

114
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Izzy.

115
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Scared me. I want you to scare me.

116
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000
I want you to scare me.

117
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Izzy, Izzy.

118
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't hear you.

119
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Poor Izzy.

120
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Oh, my God.

121
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
The wacko drew his own suicide.

122
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000
This is Izzy.

123
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,000
This is...

124
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
This is really sick.

125
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000
This is really sick.

126
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Oh, wait a minute.

127
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,000
How did you know I went to the morgue, Izzy?

128
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
That's me standing there.

129
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
What do you think, Kip?

130
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Scary enough for you?

131
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Are you scared, Kip?

132
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Am I scaring you now?

133
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
I'm scared.

134
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
I'm scared.

135
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
I'm scared.

136
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
I'm scared.

137
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
I'm scared.

138
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
I'm scared.

139
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
I'm scared.

140
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
I'm scared.

141
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000
I'm scared.

142
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
I'm scared.

143
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Kip, am I scaring you now?

144
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Kip.

145
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Izzy, no.

146
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Did I have to die to scare you, Kip?

147
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
Are you scared, Kip?

148
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
Die!

149
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Die!

150
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Die!

151
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Kip Sherman was pronounced dead from a heart attack.

152
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000
He suffered while we were in the morgue.

153
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
He was shot in the head.

154
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
He was shot in the head.

155
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000
He was shot in the head.

156
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
He was shot in the head.

157
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
He was shot dead from a heart attack.

158
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000
He suffered while reviewing drawings for a new comic book.

159
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,000
When the police arrived,

160
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,000
all they found were Kip's body,

161
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,000
the drawings,

162
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
and some seaweed from the San Francisco Bay.

163
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Did Izzy really commit suicide?

164
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,000
Or did he somehow fake his own death to terrorize his boss?

165
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Perhaps the police officers were paid to lie.

166
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Was the morgue attended and on the deception too?

167
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Or did Izzy's spirit actually come back to wreak revenge on his insensitive boss?

168
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000
How else could the final panel have been so accurate?

169
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Is this story a sketchy diagram of lies?

170
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Or is it drawn from the truth?

171
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Planning a trip soon?

172
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000
How will you protect your values?

173
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000
How about a belt with a secret compartment?

174
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Or a pouch that you could wear under your clothes?

175
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Now this is a fake soda can,

176
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
which you can hide your values.

177
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Thieves are difficult to outsmart, especially pickpockets.

178
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,000
In fact, the crime of pickpocketing was once a capital offense in England.

179
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Its punishment?

180
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,000
A public hanging.

181
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,000
And while they convicted pickpockets for being hanged in the town square,

182
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,000
other pickpockets were walking around picking the pockets of the crowd.

183
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Louis Wolski comes from a long line of pickpockets who have preyed upon the weak and unsuspecting.

184
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,000
The sad truth is, Louis is proud of his disreputable heritage,

185
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,000
but he's about to make a move that will take his foolish pride and pick it clean.

186
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,000
I've been a pickpocket for most of my life.

187
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:56,000
My uncle Willie was a grifter and he taught me all the tricks of the trade when I was just 10 years old.

188
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000
He even gave me my nickname, Louis the Dip,

189
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,000
said I was the best little pickpocket he ever saw.

190
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,000
A crowd isn't just a crowd to me, it's a hundred different opportunities.

191
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,000
And when opportunity knocks, I answer.

192
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Of course I had to be careful.

193
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,000
I had two prior convictions and another one would send me up to last.

194
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,000
I did it!

195
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,000
But I was always a distraction.

196
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
I just heard a number from the radio, I won.

197
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,000
I won the lottery!

198
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,000
I heard ages like last week and the week before that.

199
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Last week I was one number off, this week I got a vol-lite.

200
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,000
I'm telling you, I won!

201
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Four million's back to root.

202
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000
I got the ticket right here in my wallet.

203
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,000
I'm down at Charlie's groceries, I go there all the time.

204
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Did I get lucky?

205
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000
You'd be laughing when you see me pulling up in my brand new jacket.

206
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Everyone knew the mark was a big bag of air, but I wasn't so sure.

207
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000
Besides, this was too easy.

208
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Just in case the big blow-hard did have a winner, it now belonged to me.

209
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000
I couldn't wait to check the numbers.

210
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
I don't believe it.

211
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,000
You're telling me this ticket is worth four million dollars?

212
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000
That's right, baby.

213
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,000
And everybody in the bar was laughing at the guy, but I figured it was worth a shot.

214
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Man, can I pick him?

215
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
I just got it! You know when you got it, you got it!

216
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Now what do we do?

217
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Well, the guy said he bought her to Charlie's groceries.

218
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,000
So I go down there tomorrow morning, put down the ticket, claim my money.

219
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,000
It's his word against mine, and then we are out of this dump.

220
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Could we go someplace tropical?

221
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000
We can go anywhere you want.

222
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Come on, baby, let's celebrate.

223
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Me and Penny celebrated well into the night.

224
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,000
I finally did it. I hit the big score.

225
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,000
I was too excited to sleep, and besides, I was feeling a little paranoid,

226
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,000
so I decided to hide the ticket in a safe place.

227
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,000
My uncle Willie taught me a long time ago that you can't be too careful,

228
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,000
and you shouldn't trust anybody.

229
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Let's face it, Uncle Willie never even dreamed of a score like this.

230
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Hey, wake up. It's payday.

231
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Hey, how come you slept down here?

232
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,000
No reason. I guess I just passed out.

233
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
What are you doing?

234
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000
I hid the ticket, you know, in case somebody broke in or something.

235
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,000
What's wrong, Louie?

236
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000
It's not here.

237
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Look, I put the ticket in here. It's not here.

238
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,000
You sure that's where you put it? You're a little out of it.

239
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000
Check your wallet.

240
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,000
I thought maybe in my sleep I did put it back in the wallet.

241
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,000
It had to be somewhere.

242
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,000
No, it's not here either.

243
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
You didn't take it, did you?

244
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Shut up, Louie. I didn't steal it. You probably lost it, you moron.

245
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
No, no, that's not possible.

246
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:23,000
I was going nuts. I had the ticket, I put it in the can, and then it disappeared.

247
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,000
I tore the house apart and went through my wallet a hundred times.

248
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,000
The big score of my life was gone. I had to go back to work.

249
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,000
It was a busy Saturday afternoon at the bar.

250
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Most of the folks had gotten paid the day before.

251
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
I spied a woman with an open shoulder bag.

252
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,000
It was no $4 million, but it might buy groceries for the weekend.

253
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:56,000
I couldn't believe I was doing this again, but I lost my ticket to the good life.

254
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,000
I was back to being Louie the Dip.

255
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Smooth. Just like always.

256
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Hey, what's going on? I didn't do anything.

257
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Easy, easy, take it easy.

258
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,000
We're police officers and you're under arrest for pickpocketing.

259
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Oh, you were out of your mind.

260
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,000
Yeah, right. Yeah.

261
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Where did this come from?

262
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,000
FDU pockets and let me see some ID.

263
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,000
I knew they had me. There was no way around it.

264
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Then they asked me for my ID and I couldn't believe what happened next.

265
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Mr. Daily.

266
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Yeah.

267
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Is this your ticket?

268
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,000
This is it. It's my lottery ticket.

269
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000
What is that getting there? I lost that.

270
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,000
I mean, I never had it. I mean, that ain't nothing.

271
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000
This is a setup.

272
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:56,000
The mark cast in his lottery ticket and became another instant millionaire.

273
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:02,000
As for me, this was my third strike and I'm now serving 25 years to life in Folsom Prison.

274
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,000
And I still can't figure out what happened.

275
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Not for the life of me.

276
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
How did the missing lottery ticket find its way back into Louie's wallet?

277
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000
A wallet he had searched through many times.

278
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Could a sharp-eyed guy like Louie possibly have overlooked it on every occasion?

279
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Then again, maybe he was set up by his girlfriend.

280
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Or is it possible that Louie had finally become prey to the ultimate predator

281
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
so why none of us can escape?

282
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Perhaps Louie was a victim of fate.

283
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Is this story of an unlucky pickpocket to be believed?

284
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Or have we switched the truth for a pocket full of lies?

285
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,000
We'll tell you whether this story is true or false at the end of our show.

286
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Next, a mystery writer finds real life terror on Beyond Belief, fact or fiction.

287
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:02,000
For many people, one of the true joys of life is to settle down with a good mystery novel.

288
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Especially one that has twists and turns and an unexpected scare too.

289
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,000
But what about the writers who create these stories?

290
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000
What are their own lives really like?

291
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Frank Young is a mystery writer who tries hard to lead a normal life.

292
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Recently, he and his wife have moved into a house

293
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,000
that seems perfect for the scary style of stories that Frank creates.

294
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,000
But before too long, the author is going to wish he were in a different profession.

295
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,000
My wife Brenda and I haven't been getting much sleep lately.

296
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,000
It's been the same thing every night, ever since we moved into this new house.

297
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,000
It's a great old house, built in the 1920s by Mo Fitz.

298
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:57,000
He was a notorious gangster and bootlegger who was shot to death in the living room back in 1928.

299
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,000
It might seem strange that anyone would want to live in a house with such a dark history,

300
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,000
but I'm a mystery writer and I'm fascinated by every detail.

301
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Maybe we should stay in a hotel.

302
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000
I just can't stand the thought of other sleepless nights.

303
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000
You still think it's the wind, Brenda?

304
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Frank, this house is not haunted. All old houses make noise.

305
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,000
I just know what it sounded like to me.

306
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Right, like a little girl crying out for help.

307
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
It could be.

308
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,000
In one of our books, it could be.

309
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:58,000
In reality, it's just the wind blowing across the roof and down the chimney.

310
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000
But I closed the flu last night, remember?

311
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:06,000
I have to get to work. We'll talk about it tonight.

312
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000
All right? I love you.

313
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
I love you too.

314
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Bye.

315
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Help me.

316
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Six cups of coffee later and I'm ready to work.

317
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
At least I don't have a long commute.

318
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000
My office is right here at home.

319
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
I'm going to work.

320
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,000
The only problem is I can't get that noise we keep hearing out of my mind.

321
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,000
It's a wailing sound, brief and inconsistent.

322
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Just when we doze off, it starts up again.

323
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Almost like it knows when we fall asleep.

324
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Like it's trying to contact us.

325
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,000
I have to stop thinking about it and get to work. I'm on a deadline.

326
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,000
Deadline or not, I have to find out what that sound is.

327
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,000
Help me. Please help me.

328
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,000
That's not the wind and I'm not crazy.

329
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Help me. Please help me.

330
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Hello?

331
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Who's there?

332
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Where are you?

333
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Hello?

334
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:31,000
I don't know what's going on, but I've got to keep searching.

335
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,000
It's so hot in here, I can hardly breathe.

336
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Come on out of there.

337
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,000
I can't.

338
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000
They'll shoot me.

339
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
I have to hide.

340
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Don't be afraid.

341
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Nobody's going to shoot you.

342
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Help! Somebody help us!

343
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000
It's just so unlike Frank.

344
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,000
He'd never go anywhere without telling me or leaving me a note.

345
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,000
We get a lot of these calls, Mrs. Young, they usually end up okay.

346
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000
He probably just ran out to pick up something or he had a meeting he forgot to tell you about.

347
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000
No way, that's not my husband.

348
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,000
He never leaves the house when he's on a deadline.

349
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,000
I paged him three times and he didn't answer.

350
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Look, I know this sounds weird, but...

351
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
I think he might have been kidnapped.

352
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Why is that?

353
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,000
He's a successful mystery writer and he has some obsessive fans.

354
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,000
We need 24 hours before we can file a missing persons report.

355
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,000
You're just going to have to...

356
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,000
Wait a minute. Did you hear that?

357
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,000
What?

358
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,000
There. That.

359
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000
We've heard that every night for the past week.

360
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,000
I don't believe this.

361
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
Frank!

362
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Oh my God!

363
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Frank!

364
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,000
What happened?

365
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Brenda, I couldn't breathe in there.

366
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
I thought I was going to die.

367
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
It's okay.

368
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
I'm not going to die.

369
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
I'm not going to die.

370
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
I'm not going to die.

371
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,000
I thought I was going to die.

372
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,000
It's okay. You're safe now.

373
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
The little girl.

374
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
There's a little girl in there.

375
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
I saw her before I passed out.

376
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000
I'm okay.

377
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000
I'm fine.

378
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Over there, in the corner.

379
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Everyone thinks I was hallucinating,

380
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,000
but I know I was talking to the ghost of Leslie Fitz.

381
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Mo Fitz is a 12 year old daughter.

382
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
She disappeared the night of Mo's murder

383
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,000
and was never found until now.

384
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,000
She obviously hid in the secret chamber

385
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,000
on the night her father was murdered.

386
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,000
And now that I found her,

387
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000
her spirit can rest in peace.

388
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
What happened here?

389
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000
Was Frank really rescued by the cries of a long dead spirit?

390
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Or was the wailing sound that saved his life

391
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:55,000
just the wind blowing through the cracks of an old drafty house?

392
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Then how do you explain the ironic history of the home?

393
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Is this story the product of a writer's imagination?

394
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Or have we unlocked the truth with the turn of a skeleton key?

395
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Sometimes there's nothing more chilling than sounds in the night.

396
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,000
The producers of radio drama understood this well.

397
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000
Their sound effects table was filled with items

398
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,000
designed to scare the listener.

399
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,000
Rattling sounds.

400
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Subtle sounds of impending doom like the squeaking of a door.

401
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Violent rainstorm.

402
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Or the sound of a stranger coming through a darkened home.

403
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Jaildeen Collins isn't afraid of the unknown.

404
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Or the sound it may produce.

405
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,000
She's a feisty senior citizen who has taken control of her own life.

406
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,000
Watch closely, because the footsteps of terror

407
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,000
are lurking around the corner.

408
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Oh, hello, baby.

409
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,000
You wanna watch TV with mommy?

410
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,000
It's your favorite show.

411
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,000
Mrs. Jaildeen Collins was anything but a merry widow.

412
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
She made extra money each month

413
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,000
by renting a small guest house in her backyard.

414
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000
At the moment, the guest house was empty.

415
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,000
But that didn't mean she was alone.

416
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Or the sound of a stranger coming through a darkened home.

417
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,000
What if something wrong?

418
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000
What's wrong, baby?

419
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
What is it, Mimi?

420
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,000
I know. I saw her, too.

421
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000
It's that proud woman.

422
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,000
He's back again.

423
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Come on, sweetie.

424
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Come on, good shot to the head.

425
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Now fix his little red wagon.

426
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,000
Come on, baby.

427
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,000
See him, Mimi?

428
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,000
I know you're out there.

429
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,000
I'm armed.

430
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Come out of there and show yourself, you coward.

431
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,000
I'm ready for you.

432
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
Who's doing that?

433
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Jump it!

434
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Ah!

435
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,000
I can't give you a description because I didn't see anybody.

436
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,000
How many times do I have to tell you he was hiding in the bushes?

437
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
I saw him move.

438
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
So did Mimi.

439
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Mrs. Collins, this is the third time this week I've responded to your call.

440
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
And each time it's the same.

441
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,000
You hear a noise outside and no one's ever there.

442
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,000
So what are you saying? I'm nuts?

443
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,000
No. I'm not saying that.

444
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,000
I checked the bushes.

445
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,000
There are no footprints. It's been raining all week.

446
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,000
If there was someone there, I'd see prints.

447
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,000
If there was nobody there, then what knocked my plants down?

448
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Answer me that.

449
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,000
It could have been anything. The wind, maybe a cat brush by them?

450
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,000
I don't care what you say. There's somebody snooping on me.

451
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Mimi doesn't bark at nothing.

452
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,000
What are you going to write down in your report when I murdered?

453
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,000
That the wind did it?

454
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,000
All right. I'll check the bushes one more time.

455
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Geraldine Collins had no explanation for what might be happening.

456
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,000
But there was at least one person who did.

457
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Officer! Officer!

458
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Yes, ma'am?

459
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,000
I know who the prowler was.

460
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Who are you?

461
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,000
I'm Norma, her neighbor.

462
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,000
It was Mr. Harper.

463
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,000
He was a tenant of hers, Mrs. Collins, until she kicked him out about a month ago.

464
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,000
He was going through a terrible time.

465
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,000
He begged her to give him more time to pay the rent, but she wouldn't do it.

466
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,000
He was a really nice man.

467
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:58,000
He died on the streets two weeks ago, and she couldn't care less.

468
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,000
So how could he be the prowler if he's dead?

469
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,000
She thinks he's his ghost.

470
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,000
You want to talk about nuts?

471
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Why don't you just shut up, you miserable old woman?

472
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
You brought all this on yourself, and you know it.

473
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Evil begets evil.

474
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,000
Why, you nosy old bat.

475
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,000
What you did to that sweet man will not go unevented.

476
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,000
Oh, you shut up. You don't even know what you're talking about.

477
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,000
You shut up.

478
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Oh, shut up.

479
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Oh, why don't you shut up?

480
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Ladies, ladies, you shut up.

481
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,000
No, you shut up.

482
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,000
I want you to bring me back to the house.

483
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,000
I want you both to go back to your houses and cool off.

484
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,000
All right?

485
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Fine.

486
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,000
But I know what I know.

487
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,000
She's completely out of her mind.

488
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,000
There's no such thing as ghosts.

489
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:09,000
What is it?

490
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000
What's wrong, Mimi?

491
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,000
It's him again, isn't it?

492
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
All right, that's it.

493
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
No more cops.

494
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
All right, he's gonna handle it.

495
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
I'm gonna go get him.

496
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000
I'm gonna go get him.

497
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
I'm gonna go get him.

498
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
I'm gonna go get him.

499
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000
I'm gonna go get him.

500
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000
I'm gonna go get him.

501
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,000
All right, he's gonna handle this herself.

502
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Don't worry, it's only the thunder.

503
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Did you hear that?

504
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:47,000
He's right over there somewhere.

505
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,000
I'm just gonna put you down for a second, baby.

506
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:56,000
I got you this time, whoever you are.

507
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,000
You don't know who you're dealing with, Mustard.

508
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,000
Come out of there.

509
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,000
No, this isn't happening.

510
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000
It can't be.

511
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,000
It can't be.

512
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000
What has happened to me alone?

513
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Mrs. Geraldine Collins barely survived her night of terror.

514
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000
She moved out of the house the following day

515
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,000
and continued to relocate four times over the next five months.

516
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:45,000
The only problem is the boot prints move with her.

517
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Was Geraldine seeing things?

518
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
Were her delusions brought on by deep-seated guilt

519
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,000
over her treatment of her former tenant, Mr. Harper?

520
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Or was she being tormented and manipulated

521
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,000
by her righteous neighbor, Norma?

522
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:05,000
But then, how could Norma have possibly created those phantom footprints?

523
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Is it possible that those prints were made by a ghost

524
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:11,000
who came back to collect rent on a greedy landlady's soul?

525
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Is the story we've just seen based on fact

526
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,000
or have we just handed the truth another eviction notice?

527
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,000
We'll tell you whether this story is true or false at the end of our show.

528
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Next, a teenage girl joins a witch's coven

529
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,000
on Beyond Belief, Fact or Fiction.

530
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,000
It seems that more and more people are becoming fascinated with the occult.

531
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Witchcraft, especially among teenagers, appears to have a peculiar fascination.

532
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Their books, movies, and television shows often deal with the subject,

533
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:47,000
sometimes realistically, sometimes tongue-in-cheek.

534
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:52,000
Teenager Edie Jamison has become a victim of witchcraft's evil seductions.

535
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Her gaze is cold, her manner is menacing,

536
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:02,000
and what her future holds may be in the hands of a mysterious and forbidden world.

537
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:12,000
I can't remember ever being one of those stupid, smiling little daddy's girls.

538
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:17,000
And when I turned 15, I discovered the dark, seductive powers of witchcraft.

539
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:23,000
My parents were frightened by my strange behavior and demanded that I see a psychologist.

540
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,000
I had heard about Dr. Marion John before.

541
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,000
She supposedly had a lot of success with girls like me.

542
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,000
That didn't bother me at all.

543
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,000
In fact, I welcomed the challenge.

544
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Hi, Edie. I'm Marion.

545
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,000
I'm leaving.

546
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,000
Your parents say you agreed to see me.

547
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Yeah?

548
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,000
Well, I changed my mind.

549
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,000
I don't need any help. I'm not sick.

550
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,000
I'm a witch.

551
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Why can't my parents just live with that?

552
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,000
That's kind of a tough pill for most parents to swallow.

553
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,000
Don't you think?

554
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,000
I don't really care.

555
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Do you know they're afraid of me?

556
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000
Why do you think that?

557
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Don't pull a psychology junk on me.

558
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
I know what you're all about.

559
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,000
What am I all about?

560
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:16,000
You're trying to change me back into some sweet little innocent girl.

561
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,000
I was never that.

562
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,000
I was born a witch.

563
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,000
But you wouldn't understand.

564
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,000
Nobody understands.

565
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Only other witches.

566
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,000
Do you know many other witches?

567
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,000
I know a lot of witches.

568
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,000
We're everywhere.

569
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000
You don't know the power that we have.

570
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000
If you did, you wouldn't be messing with me.

571
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,000
The dark side of the occult can be very enticing,

572
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000
especially when you're under a lot of pressure.

573
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,000
This is not about pressure.

574
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,000
It's about power.

575
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
My power over you.

576
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,000
You have no power over me, Edie.

577
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Oh, yeah?

578
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
What if I put a curse on you?

579
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
I can do that, you know?

580
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,000
Go ahead.

581
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,000
Put a curse on me.

582
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,000
I'm not afraid of you, Edie.

583
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,000
You will be.

584
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Marion.

585
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,000
You'll see me in your nightmares.

586
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,000
And everything in your life will go wrong.

587
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,000
The next time I saw Dr. John,

588
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,000
I almost didn't recognize her.

589
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,000
My curse was apparently working.

590
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Hello.

591
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,000
I want you to remove the curse.

592
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,000
Now?

593
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Why?

594
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
You said I have no power.

595
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Don't mock me, Edie.

596
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,000
My fiance left me.

597
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,000
My house had a fire in it.

598
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,000
My office was robbed.

599
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,000
And your face has been in my dreams every night for the past week.

600
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
I want it to stop.

601
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,000
Do you hear me?

602
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,000
I want it over.

603
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Tell me you believe I'm a witch.

604
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,000
All right.

605
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,000
You're a witch.

606
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Now take off the curse.

607
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,000
No.

608
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
What do you mean no?

609
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,000
I told you everything you wanted to hear.

610
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,000
This is too much fun, Doctor.

611
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,000
You're really helping me.

612
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,000
You're helping me learn my craft.

613
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,000
I want you out of my life.

614
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,000
It's too late.

615
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,000
I'm joining a coven.

616
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Once I'm a member,

617
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,000
I'll be all over for you.

618
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Get out of here.

619
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Get out.

620
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000
Sleep well.

621
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:28,000
The night I joined the coven was the most exciting and frightening night of my life.

622
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:33,000
I couldn't wait to be officially inducted and follow their rules for the rest of my life.

623
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,000
Even though I knew I was meant to be a witch,

624
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:43,000
I was still terrified by the intensity of the ceremony.

625
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:48,000
I had never experienced such a combination of fear and ecstasy before.

626
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,000
Take me, High Priestess.

627
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,000
I'm ready. Make me one of you.

628
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Rise before the High Priestess.

629
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,000
I'm ready.

630
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,000
Find an하는ализor.

631
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Curl up the heavens.

632
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Repeat this in all ago.

633
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,000
Definitely be a stronghold for me.

634
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:05,000
The forever as above so below I now become part of you

635
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:14,440
You are now a sister of this coven and you must obey our rules forever I will obey

636
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,120
Dr. John

637
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:30,760
No, it can't be you're not a witch I hexed you it was all a trick to get you to join this coven

638
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,760
You're now a witch what a good one just like all of us

639
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:45,040
This coven is devoted to kindness and beauty no

640
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,680
No

641
00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:56,080
It's too late Edie now you'll see me in your dreams and you won't be able to wish evil on anyone else again

642
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:06,200
That night my life changed forever I lost the hatred in my heart and became the happy caring person I was always meant to be

643
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,680
What really happened here

644
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:19,040
The doctor in our story claims that she has pioneered a unique new treatment to

645
00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:21,560
Deprogram misguided teenagers from witchcraft

646
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:29,280
She tricks them into taking vows for good not even do you believe this or do you believe the doctor?

647
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,280
It's really a good wish

648
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:38,280
Using her own positive power to battle evil could this story possibly be true or isn't an example of our writers

649
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,280
flying their craft

650
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:51,080
Next you'll find out which of our stories are fact and which are fiction when beyond belief fact or fiction returns

651
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:58,560
It's time to take a look back at our stories and find out which ones are inspired by actual events and which ones are works of fiction

652
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:04,280
Now let's look back at the story of the cartoonist who haunted his publisher and scared to death

653
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,000
factor fiction

654
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,640
What do you think kept?

655
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:21,280
Scary enough for you. Are you scared? Yeah, kid. Did you think this one was simply too far out to really have happened?

656
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:27,200
We based this story on an actual occurrence that took place in the late 60s on the West Coast

657
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:36,320
How about the story of the pickpocket who lifted a lottery true or false

658
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:44,960
Easy easy take it easy we're police officers. You're under arrest. Oh, you were out of your mind. Yeah, right

659
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,320
Where did this come

660
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:58,440
If you guessed this one was totally made up we got you according to our research this what happened to a pickpocket in New Jersey

661
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,440
What

662
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:10,360
Did you think about the story of the mystery writer who became a part of a real-life mystery was it true or false?

663
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:15,800
Maybe we should stay in a hotel. I just can't stand the thought of other sleepless nights

664
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,080
You still think it's the wind Brenda?

665
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:23,320
Frank this house is not haunted. Did you think this story was too strange to be true?

666
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:27,680
Well research tells us that a similar story happened in the Midwest in the early 80s

667
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:40,760
What about the tale of the footprints that haunted the unfeeling landlady real or hoax come out of there and show yourself you coward

668
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:55,120
Did you think this story really happened not this time we were tracking lies through the mud it's false

669
00:43:59,240 --> 00:44:06,180
What was your opinion of the teenaged girl who was tricked into dropping her evil ways? I'm a witch

670
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,480
Why can't my parents just live with that?

671
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,640
That's kind of a tough pill for most parents to swallow

672
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:21,560
Don't you think did you think this tale of witchcraft was nothing but smoke our research tells us it happened in New England around the late 70s

673
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,600
It's back

674
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,600
So

675
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:33,760
What is it that separates fact from fiction why do things happen to all of us that have no logical explanation?

676
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:40,120
The more we seek an answer the more we realize that the only true explanations are beyond belief

677
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,240
I'm Jonathan Franks

678
00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:49,100
The stories entitled Louie the dip the wailing and curse are true based upon research conducted by author Robert Traylons

679
00:44:49,240 --> 00:44:52,880
For Beyond Belief factor fiction. This is Don LaFontaine

680
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,600
You

681
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,600
You
