1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,360
Beyond belief, fact or fiction?

2
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,880
Hosted by Jonathan Frakes.

3
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,560
Tonight your challenge is to separate what is true from what is false.

4
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,160
Five stories, some real, some fake.

5
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,760
Can you judge which are fact and which are fiction?

6
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,400
To find out, you must enter a world of both truth and deception.

7
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,080
A world that is beyond belief.

8
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:50,920
Truth and illusion often blend together.

9
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,720
The examples are all around us.

10
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,640
For instance, this structure.

11
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,360
Some might call it a box, others a square.

12
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,360
Still others a cube.

13
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,360
But what is the reality?

14
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,880
Massive confusion.

15
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,720
Tonight you will view a number of stories.

16
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,000
And your challenge is to view them, decide which are inspired by actual events,

17
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,200
and which are a mass of lies.

18
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,480
Remember, it won't be easy because if you've watched this before,

19
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,000
you know we don't always play fair and square.

20
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,000
Step right up, ladies and gents.

21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,400
Keep your eye on the little P.

22
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,880
Which shell is it on?

23
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,400
Anyone can win this simple game of observation.

24
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,760
Let me guess, you've chosen this one.

25
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,600
Too bad.

26
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,560
Care to play double or nothing?

27
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,920
Fast Eddie Gleckin grew up running games like this and he loves what he does.

28
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,640
Not for the excitement or the thrill of the gamble.

29
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,160
No, Fast Eddie loves to cheat people out of their money.

30
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,560
He's a cold, calculating, unfeeling human being.

31
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:06,600
And where those qualities will lead him is about to be revealed.

32
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,880
Jenny was the ex-wife of Fast Eddie Gleckin.

33
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,280
Eddie was the owner of a cheap tavern and a rundown section of Brooklyn where I tended bar.

34
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,800
He was the kind of guy who would cheat his best friend out of a dollar and brag about it afterward.

35
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,640
I should know. I was his best friend.

36
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,160
What are you doing here? I told you never to come down.

37
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,560
I know but I came to get the money you owe me, Eddie.

38
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,360
I don't owe you nothing.

39
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,840
And you're nothing to me.

40
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,600
You were a mistake. That's it.

41
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,640
You owe me five months back alimony and child support is the law.

42
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:49,760
Oh, okay. I'll tell you what to do.

43
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,120
Hire yourself a lawyer and sue me.

44
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,720
And then in a couple of years we'll go to court.

45
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,000
And you'll lose.

46
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,160
Don't you care about your kids?

47
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,920
I care about me. Eddie Gleckin, not those brats.

48
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:05,120
They're your kids. So get out of my face.

49
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,000
Hello, lady.

50
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,720
Eh.

51
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,640
Oh! Sorry, man. You lose.

52
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:18,360
Wanna go again?

53
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,880
No, no, no thanks. I'm all tapped out.

54
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,240
Come on. Come on.

55
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,040
Somebody here can play me, huh? I can't win all the time.

56
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,040
I'm in for a hundred.

57
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,040
Oh, baby.

58
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,920
Where did you come from? I've never seen you in here before.

59
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:36,640
You wanna play the game or not?

60
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,640
Sure. Sure, I'll play the game.

61
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,040
You seem pretty sure of yourself.

62
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,040
You lose.

63
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,440
You cheated, Eddie.

64
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,720
Who are you talking about?

65
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,320
I saw you.

66
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,760
I run a fair game here. You can ask anyone of these guys.

67
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,040
Tommy, why don't you talk?

68
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,040
Yeah, sure. Eddie's a nice guy.

69
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,840
Wanna go again?

70
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,440
I'll be back.

71
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,440
And then we'll play by my rules.

72
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,400
Hey.

73
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,240
What are your rules?

74
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,240
You'll see.

75
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,640
For the next two weeks, fast Eddie couldn't win at anything.

76
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:40,240
Craps, poker, three-card money, whatever the game, he lost big time.

77
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,240
He didn't know how, but he really believed that that beautiful babe at the bar had put the jinx on it.

78
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,240
Come on, come on.

79
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,240
Let's go. Let's go.

80
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,240
You'll never do it.

81
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,240
Eddie, come on. Eddie, come on.

82
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,240
Where are you going?

83
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,240
10 more. Come on.

84
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,240
Come on.

85
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,240
Let's go.

86
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,240
Hey, Eddie. You gotta snap out of this.

87
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,240
It's just a string of bad luck. It happens to everybody.

88
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,240
Hey, boss.

89
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,240
High-card wins for Buck, huh?

90
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,240
Jack, you can beat that.

91
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,240
King. Hey, hey, you won.

92
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,240
But man, he's back. Yeah, back.

93
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,240
Eddie's luck returned.

94
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,240
It was just like before when he couldn't lose.

95
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,240
No one could beat him, and there was no sign of that good-looking chick anywhere.

96
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,240
Come on, come on.

97
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,240
Come on, come on.

98
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,240
Come on, come on.

99
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,240
Come on, come on.

100
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,240
Come on, come on.

101
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,240
Come on, come on.

102
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,240
Come on.

103
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,240
I'm so sorry to do that to you.

104
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,240
Hey, Eddie.

105
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,240
What are you doing here?

106
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,240
I'm not giving you any money so you might as well get out.

107
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,240
Eddie, please.

108
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,240
The baby's sick, and he needs to see a doctor.

109
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,240
I don't have any money.

110
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,240
You gotta help us out. You gotta.

111
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,240
I can't believe you came down here.

112
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,240
Take it easy, Eddie.

113
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,240
You're embarrassing me in front of my customers.

114
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,240
If you don't get out of here right now, I'm gonna call a cop,

115
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,240
and you know they're all buddies of mine.

116
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,240
How would you like for the kids to come visit you in jail?

117
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,240
Huh? Is that something you'd like?

118
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,240
You.

119
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,240
I let you start winning again, Eddie.

120
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,240
You had your chance for redemption, but you failed the test.

121
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,240
What are you talking about?

122
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,240
I had a little streak of bad luck, all right?

123
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,240
It's over, so get out of my bar.

124
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,240
I'm sorry.

125
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,240
I'm sorry.

126
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,240
I'm sorry.

127
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,240
I'm sorry.

128
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,240
I'm sorry.

129
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,240
I'm sorry.

130
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,240
I'm sorry.

131
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,240
It's $100,000.

132
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,240
I'll risk it all against your tower.

133
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,240
What's the game?

134
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,240
You flip.

135
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,240
Head, Xy, win. Tails, you lose.

136
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,240
What are you doing, Eddie?

137
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,240
Shut up.

138
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,240
Head, Xy, win. Tails, you lose.

139
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,240
Head, Xy, win. Tails, you lose.

140
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,240
Head, Xy, win. Tails, you lose.

141
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,240
Head, Xy, win. Tails, you lose.

142
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,240
Head, Xy, win. Tails, you lose.

143
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,240
Head, Xy, win.

144
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,240
Heads. I win.

145
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,240
Eddie, what did you do?

146
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,240
Head, Xy, win. Tails, you lose.

147
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,240
That's the oldest sucker bet in the world, man.

148
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,240
What's wrong with you, man?

149
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,240
I don't know. I couldn't help myself.

150
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,240
Congratulations, Jenny. The tavern's yours.

151
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,240
What?

152
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,240
I won at Farron Square, and I'm giving it to her.

153
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,240
Wait a minute.

154
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,240
Who are you? I gotta know.

155
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,240
Maybe I'm the patron saint of abused wives.

156
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,240
There's one thing for sure, Eddie.

157
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,240
We'll never win at anything again.

158
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,240
Fast Eddie Gleckin only lived another two weeks.

159
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,240
He threw himself off the Brooklyn Bridge.

160
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,240
Who is the mysterious woman who seemed to hold Eddie's fate in her power?

161
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,240
Was she really an avenging angel acting on behalf of Eddie's ex-wife?

162
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:23,240
Or was she a clever manipulator able to trick Eddie into believing he could never win again?

163
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,240
And what about that last bet?

164
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,240
Every gambler knows that Head's I win, Tails, you lose as an impossible wager.

165
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,240
How could Eddie have possibly accepted it?

166
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,240
Was he under some spell?

167
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,240
Or by that time was his spirit totally broken?

168
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:41,240
Are you prepared to make an informed decision about whether this story is true or false?

169
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,240
Or are you just going to flip a coin?

170
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,240
We'll find out whether this story is true or false at the end of our show.

171
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:54,240
Next, a photographer learns the true meaning of the words ghost town on Beyond Belief, fact or fiction.

172
00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:02,240
Western towns have mostly disappeared from the American landscape these days.

173
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,240
Many have been bulldozed to make room for strip malls and freeways.

174
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,240
Some have been saved as tourist attractions.

175
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,240
History preserved to sell beer and t-shirts.

176
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,240
Still others stand deserted.

177
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,240
No horses move down their empty streets.

178
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,240
No people walk through their swinging doors.

179
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,240
Thomas L. Fergus is about to happen upon the strangest of Western settings.

180
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:28,240
In fact, you might say it's a location that truly deserves the name ghost town.

181
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:36,240
I've been traveling around the Southwest shooting photos of ghost towns for a national magazine when my truck blew a radiator hose.

182
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,240
I couldn't have picked a better place.

183
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:47,240
They were having a cold spell, but somewhere around 115 in the shade.

184
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:54,240
I knew one thing. I had to get out of the heat.

185
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,240
No signal. I wasn't surprised. I never work when you really need him.

186
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,240
I really needed water now.

187
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,240
I was getting dizzy and I wasn't sweating anymore.

188
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,240
And everywhere I looked, I saw nothing but sun.

189
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:24,240
Somehow, after almost fainting, I got my second win.

190
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:29,240
According to my map, I was only a few miles away from a ghost town called Red Ridge.

191
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,240
I was hoping there was a gas station there or a phone that worked.

192
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,240
I found Red Ridge, but there was no gas station and not a tourist in sight.

193
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,240
The town looked completely deserted.

194
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,240
I couldn't believe it. I heard people inside and I thought I could finally get some help.

195
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,240
Boy, was I wrong.

196
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,240
My truck broke down. I was wondering where the nearest gas station is.

197
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,240
I was so shocked.

198
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,240
I was so shocked.

199
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,240
I couldn't believe it.

200
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,240
I couldn't believe it.

201
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,240
I was shocked.

202
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,240
I was so shocked.

203
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,240
I couldn't believe it.

204
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,240
I couldn't believe it.

205
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,240
I heard people inside.

206
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,240
My truck broke down. I was wondering where the nearest gas station is.

207
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,240
Where did you get us clothes?

208
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,240
Where are your skivvies in public?

209
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,240
My skivvies?

210
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,240
Oh, I get it. You're shooting a movie here, huh?

211
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,240
You're joking, right?

212
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,240
Who are you calling a joke?

213
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,240
I meant no harm. I didn't mean to offend you.

214
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,240
Weird.

215
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,240
Very weird.

216
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,240
Why are you guys?

217
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,240
That's Carlos' car.

218
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,240
I just need some time.

219
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,240
Hi, y'all.

220
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,240
What do you have?

221
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,240
A cold beer.

222
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,240
We got beer, but it ain't cold.

223
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,240
Fine. I'll drink anything.

224
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,240
My truck broke down. I really need to find a gas station.

225
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,240
Do you mind if I use your phone?

226
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,240
What?

227
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,240
Your phone.

228
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,240
Your telephone.

229
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,240
Why do I have to explain everything here?

230
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,240
That'll be two bits for the beer.

231
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,240
What is this?

232
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,240
Come on. It's a twenty dollar bill, man.

233
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,240
You got gold and silver?

234
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,240
No, I don't.

235
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,240
Then you don't get no beer.

236
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,240
Look, you can keep the change.

237
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,240
Just give me something to drink.

238
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,240
Please, I've been baking under that sun for the last two hours,

239
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,240
and nobody's making any sense here.

240
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,240
Yeah, well, the heat can play trick with your mind, son.

241
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,240
It's not the heat.

242
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,240
Excuse me.

243
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,240
This can't be something...

244
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,240
Something's wrong here.

245
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,240
What year is it?

246
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,240
It's 1848. What year do you think it is?

247
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,240
It can't be 1848. That's more than 150 years ago.

248
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,240
This can't be happening.

249
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,240
Who are you people?

250
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,240
Why are you doing this to me?

251
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,240
What's going on here?

252
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,240
I don't like strangers in my town called Controver.

253
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,240
You understand me, boy?

254
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,240
I'm not trying to cause any trouble.

255
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,240
I just want to get out of here.

256
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,240
I'm going to call a friend.

257
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,240
I'm going to have him pick me up.

258
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,240
You'll never see me again.

259
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,240
I promise.

260
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,240
Drop your weapon now.

261
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,240
This is not a weapon. This is a phone.

262
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,240
You call people with it. See?

263
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,240
Let's go, boy.

264
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,240
I woke up the next morning in a jail cell.

265
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,240
At first I didn't know where I was.

266
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,240
Then it all started coming back.

267
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,240
And then I heard the truck engine.

268
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,240
Sheriff!

269
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,240
Sheriff, let me out of here!

270
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,240
Sheriff!

271
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,240
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Ho, ho, ho!

272
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,240
I am so glad to see you.

273
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,240
Wait a minute.

274
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,240
You're the bartender from that saloon.

275
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,240
Bartender?

276
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,240
I don't think so. That saloon hasn't been open for over 100 years.

277
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,240
There were people in music.

278
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,240
It was 1848 and they didn't know what a $20 bill was.

279
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,240
And then the sheriff shot me and...

280
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,240
Hey, take it easy. Have some water.

281
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,240
Then he said the same words the bartender said.

282
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,240
The heat can play tricks with your mind, son.

283
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,240
Just want to get my truck fixed and go home.

284
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,240
Hop in. I'll take you to a gas station.

285
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,240
Probably suffering from heat stroke happens all the time out here.

286
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,240
It just seems so real.

287
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,240
What is it?

288
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,240
Nothing. Just an old cell phone.

289
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,240
As you might have guessed, the photos Thomas took never came out.

290
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,240
Was he the victim of heat stroke?

291
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:16,240
Doctors tell us prolonged sun exposure and dehydration can cause a person to hallucinate.

292
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,240
But then how do you explain the bullet hole in his phone?

293
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,240
Could this whole experience have been a practical joke played by a bored movie?

294
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,240
I don't know.

295
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,240
I don't know.

296
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,240
I don't know.

297
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,240
I don't know.

298
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,240
Maybe that was one of the old frontier days celebrations.

299
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,240
Or just maybe Thomas crossed some line where the past and present are indissertible.

300
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:43,240
As indissertible as day from dusk, love from hate, or fact from fiction.

301
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:49,240
We'll find out whether this story is true or false at the end of our show.

302
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:54,240
Next, mysterious sights and sounds in an old and forgotten authentic film.

303
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,240
Finally, we know the truth about the media.

304
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,280
True or false at the end of our show.

305
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,960
Next, mysterious sights and sounds in an old attic

306
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,120
on Beyond Belief, Fact or Fiction.

307
00:19:05,120 --> 00:19:07,080
Not long ago, millions of American women

308
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,920
worked proudly as seamstresses.

309
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,920
Some worked in giant warehouses, others out of their own homes,

310
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,160
but all shared one thing in common, pride and respect

311
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,880
for their work.

312
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,840
Byron Tompkins' grandmother was a gifted seamstress.

313
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,840
And although her clothes adorned some of the most beautiful

314
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,720
women in the world, she herself struggled every day

315
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,120
to provide a good life for her family.

316
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:31,240
She's gone now, and life is bumpy for her grandson.

317
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,720
He's married, facing struggles of his own.

318
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,400
But perhaps it's time for Byron to reap

319
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,720
what his grandmother has sown.

320
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:42,520
My husband Byron and I were deeply in debt

321
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,640
after our restaurant went under.

322
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,600
We were facing foreclosure on our house

323
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,800
and figured the only way we might save it

324
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,720
was to sell the antiques we inherited

325
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,920
from his grandmother, Lillian.

326
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,240
We really didn't want to.

327
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,600
It all meant so much to Byron.

328
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,680
But we had no other choice.

329
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,760
Brunswick, Model C, I think.

330
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:02,260
Yes.

331
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:05,700
Press.

332
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,320
What's the minor's, a pair?

333
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:12,320
Yes.

334
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,160
So what do you think?

335
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:19,000
Well, there is really nothing here of worth.

336
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:24,440
I can give you $1,500 for the whole lot.

337
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,560
$1,500?

338
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,480
Or the sewing machine alone must be worth more than that.

339
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,440
That machine is a piece of history.

340
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,880
My grandmother was a seamstress at MGM Studios over 60 years ago,

341
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,840
and she made a lot of great costumes on that machine.

342
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,200
Well, it might be worth a little more if it worked.

343
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,640
But I'm afraid in its present condition,

344
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,160
it is just a piece of junk.

345
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:46,840
Get in, sorry.

346
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:47,600
It works.

347
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:48,600
It works.

348
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,440
You just have to know how to work it.

349
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:55,080
Please, please, Mr. Tomkins, you have my offer.

350
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,920
You may take it or you may leave it.

351
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,320
$1,500 for my grandmother's life.

352
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,600
We're going to leave it.

353
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:03,200
Fine.

354
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,000
OK.

355
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,680
Mr. Monogue.

356
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:08,760
Yes?

357
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:09,960
We'd like to think about it.

358
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,600
Can we call you tomorrow?

359
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:12,000
Of course.

360
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,320
Think all you want.

361
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,920
You won't do better anywhere else.

362
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,800
I guarantee it.

363
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:18,960
I'll walk you to the door.

364
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:19,960
Most kind.

365
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:29,260
That's weird.

366
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,520
I can't believe that.

367
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,320
$1,500 for all that stuff.

368
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,880
And you know he's just going to turn around and sell it

369
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,240
for five times that much.

370
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,040
Byron, I know it's not a lot of money,

371
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,320
but it will buy us a little more time.

372
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,760
I think your grandmother would understand.

373
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,720
Why is this happening to us?

374
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,680
First the restaurant, now we might lose the house.

375
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:56,600
I just don't get it, Sylvie.

376
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,600
You know, these things happen to everybody,

377
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:00,960
but we'll get through.

378
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,880
We've done it before.

379
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,160
I'll come on to you in the morning.

380
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,600
And I just want to go to bed and dream of being rich.

381
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,520
Look at this.

382
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:15,520
My buttons fell off.

383
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,520
That's weird.

384
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,840
I'll sell them on for you in the morning.

385
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,680
But I kind of like the look.

386
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,560
Sylvie, Sylvie, wake up, baby.

387
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:44,880
Wake up.

388
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:45,680
Listen, listen.

389
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,880
Are they strange stuff?

390
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,160
Yeah.

391
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,280
It's called a refrigerator.

392
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,320
But it's coming from above.

393
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,560
There.

394
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:57,640
It stopped.

395
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,520
Now go back to sleep.

396
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:25,560
That's not the fridge.

397
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:26,560
What happened?

398
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,560
You can drop these, did you?

399
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:34,560
Not me.

400
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,560
It's coming from the attic.

401
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,560
I think that's where these came from.

402
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,560
I don't know.

403
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:46,560
I don't know.

404
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,560
It must have started on the tone.

405
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:07,560
Fire is coming up.

406
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:08,560
It's going to start a fire.

407
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:09,560
Fire is coming up.

408
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,560
It's going to start a fire.

409
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:11,560
Fire is coming up.

410
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:12,560
Fire is coming up.

411
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:14,560
Fire is coming up.

412
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,560
Fire is coming up.

413
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:17,560
Fire is coming up.

414
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,560
It's going to start a fire.

415
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,560
Fire is coming up.

416
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,560
It's going to start a fire.

417
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,560
Fire, do something.

418
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,560
You think it's going to start up again?

419
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:33,560
I don't know.

420
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,560
I didn't think it would start the first time.

421
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,560
That was weird.

422
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:38,560
What a trip.

423
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,560
What is this?

424
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,560
Was this always on the machine?

425
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,560
What's this?

426
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,560
Look at this gown! It's gorgeous!

427
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,560
Your grandmother was so talented!

428
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,560
What's this tag on the sleeve?

429
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,560
Oh my gosh, Byron, you're not gonna believe this.

430
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:06,560
What?

431
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,560
Vivian Lee Wardrow, gone with the wind, 1939.

432
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,560
GWTW!

433
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,560
We sold the dress and made enough money to get ourselves out of debt.

434
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:24,560
Is this story true?

435
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,560
Was the sewing machine taken over by the spirit of Byron's grandmother?

436
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:33,560
Or was it just some mechanical aberration that caused the machine to behave that way?

437
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,560
But then how do you explain the GWTW?

438
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,560
Could that really have been a random pattern?

439
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,560
Or was that swatch there all along unnoticed by Byron and Sylvia?

440
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,560
Is this story of a sewing machine that takes on a life of its own, the truth?

441
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,560
Or have we just stitched together a series of lies?

442
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,560
We'll find out whether this story is true or false at the end of our show.

443
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,560
Next, a sleepwalker brings a curse on his family.

444
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,560
On Beyond Belief, Fact or Fiction.

445
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:02,560
Can't sleep?

446
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,560
That's why devices such as this one were invented.

447
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,560
With the push of a button,

448
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:11,560
our ears can be transported to the soothing wash of the ocean's waves against the shore,

449
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,560
or the tranquil sounds of the nighttime forest.

450
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,560
Leon T. Woodward never gets a good night's sleep anymore,

451
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,560
but Leon doesn't really toss and turn in his sleep.

452
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:22,560
He walks.

453
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,560
And his sleepwalking is becoming increasingly frightening and destructive.

454
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,560
And as for his wife,

455
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,560
well, let's say Leon's sleep disorder is starting to push her buttons.

456
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,560
My husband, Leon, was struggling to keep his business from going under.

457
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,560
We had a beautiful little daughter, and what I thought was a happy marriage.

458
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,560
But soon after our finances worsened, Leon began to leave our bed at night

459
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,560
and go for walks in his sleep.

460
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,560
Leon would frequently trip over Peggy's toys.

461
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,560
He even smashed her favorite dollhouse.

462
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,560
I was worried he would break his neck.

463
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,560
What? What happened?

464
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,560
You were walking in your sleep again.

465
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,560
Did you hurt yourself?

466
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:08,560
I don't think so.

467
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,560
Leon, we have to do something about this.

468
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,560
I know. I know.

469
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,560
Of all the problems his sleepwalking caused,

470
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,560
Leon felt most guilty about damaging our daughter's dollhouse.

471
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,560
She loved that thing so much,

472
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,560
she spent hours painting and repairing it with Leon.

473
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,560
See? Daddy fixed it.

474
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,560
I told you it'd be all right.

475
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,560
Thanks, Daddy.

476
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,560
I'll try not to be so clumsy next time.

477
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,560
At least your dolls are all right.

478
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,560
That's the most important thing.

479
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,560
They all love you, you know.

480
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,560
I love them, too.

481
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:06,560
I didn't know what to make of the expression on Leon's face at that moment,

482
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,560
but I've never forgotten it.

483
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,560
Months passed and Leon's condition worsened.

484
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,560
He began going on longer and longer walks.

485
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,560
The doctor suggested that we put bells on his wrist so we could hear him.

486
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,560
And thank goodness we did.

487
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,560
I couldn't take it anymore.

488
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,560
I even suggested a psychic healer named Madame Tumor.

489
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,560
She had the reputation for being melodramatic,

490
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,560
but I could put up with the theatrics in exchange for some answers.

491
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,560
What's wrong? What is it?

492
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,560
Someone has cast a dark and ancient spell.

493
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,560
Spell, come on. This is ridiculous.

494
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,560
You have been hexed, Mr. Woodward.

495
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,560
You are doomed to wander in the night for the rest of your life.

496
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:31,560
You will leave your home one day, and you will not return.

497
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,560
Wait a minute. This is crazy.

498
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,560
What can we do about it? How do we break it?

499
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,560
I'm sorry. There is nothing I can do.

500
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,560
Listen, I'm never going to leave you.

501
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,560
I love you.

502
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,560
For the next week, I hardly slept at all.

503
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,560
I laid awake every night, making sure Leon was still there next to me.

504
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,560
We even discussed securing him to the bed, but only as a last resort.

505
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,560
Now I wish we had.

506
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,560
Finally, exhaustion took over, and I fell asleep against my will.

507
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,560
I'll never forgive myself for that.

508
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,560
I ran through the house, listening for Leon's bells.

509
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,560
But I heard nothing.

510
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,560
This time Leon was gone.

511
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,560
I feared Madame Tula's prophecy had come true.

512
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,560
Leon! Where are you?

513
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,560
I can't think of anything else.

514
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,560
I'm sorry.

515
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,560
I'm sorry.

516
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,560
I'm sorry.

517
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,560
I can't think of anything else.

518
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,560
I did tell you that he was wearing his striped pajamas, didn't I?

519
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,560
I'm sorry, but I have to ask this.

520
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,560
Is there any reason why he might leave you?

521
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,560
Marital problems, maybe?

522
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,560
No. We have a perfect marriage.

523
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,560
It was the sleepwalking. I am sure of it.

524
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,560
I'll file a missing persons report, and we'll keep an eye on the hospital.

525
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,560
If anything comes up, I'll let you know right away.

526
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,560
You will find him, won't you?

527
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,560
Let's hope he just comes home.

528
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,560
Hello?

529
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,560
Hi, Mom.

530
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,560
No, not a word.

531
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,560
I'm going crazy.

532
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,560
He could be lying somewhere, hurt.

533
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,560
What am I going to do?

534
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,560
I love him so much.

535
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,560
What if that old woman is right?

536
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,560
And what if he's gone forever?

537
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,560
Mommy!

538
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,560
Hang on a second.

539
00:31:58,560 --> 00:31:59,560
What is it, honey?

540
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,560
I know where Daddy is.

541
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,560
I'll call you right back.

542
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,560
Where? Where is Daddy?

543
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,560
Come with me. I'll show you.

544
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,560
Sweetheart, you're really worried about Daddy, aren't you?

545
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,560
Daddy said he'd never leave me.

546
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,560
He'll be back. And we have to believe that.

547
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,560
But he's here at my dollhouse. Look.

548
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:38,560
There, in Peggy's precious dollhouse, was a doll I had never noticed before.

549
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,560
See? It's Daddy.

550
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,560
What's the reality here?

551
00:32:55,560 --> 00:33:00,560
Was there really some supernatural force that caused the disappearance of Leon Woodward?

552
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,560
Or was it all a scheme to skip out of an ominous financial situation?

553
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,560
What about the doll that looked so much like Leon?

554
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,560
Was it always there and not noticed until that day?

555
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,560
Or was it something Leon had made to leave behind as a comfort to his daughter?

556
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,560
Or was it some strange curse that trapped the restless spirit of Leon Woodward

557
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,560
inside the walls of the child's dollhouse?

558
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:26,560
Are you ready to decide if this tale of the strange, subnambulist is real?

559
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,560
Would you like to sleep on it?

560
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,560
We'll find out whether this story is true or false at the end of our show.

561
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:39,560
Next, a woman is terrorized by a gang of thugs on Beyond Belief, fact or fiction.

562
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,560
The neighborhood laundromat. Up until 20 years ago,

563
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:48,560
most people living in a big city cleaned their clothes in store fronts that housed machines like these.

564
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,560
It was a chore to be sure.

565
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,560
But it was also a place where you could see friends, catch up on some reading,

566
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,560
or even strike up a new romance.

567
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,560
As appliances have become more friendly, laundromats have become more scarce.

568
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,560
Still, some hang on.

569
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,560
Maria Sanchez owns one such place.

570
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:11,560
Her faith keeps her hanging on through many obstacles like bad weather, tough times, and sheer terror.

571
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:18,560
I'd been working hard for the past year trying to make a go of my late husband's laundromat.

572
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,560
I was raising five small children on my own.

573
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,560
It wasn't easy. Business was very slow.

574
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,560
I couldn't talk the landlord, Mr. Flint, into a fresh paint job,

575
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,560
even though it might have attracted some new customers.

576
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:36,560
I felt sorry for Mr. Flint. He wasn't a very happy man.

577
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:40,560
How you doing, Maria?

578
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,560
Good afternoon, Mr. Flint. I wasn't expecting you today.

579
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,560
What do we have to make an appointment for you? On the place?

580
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,560
I know. I'm just surprised.

581
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,560
Well, I've got a bit of a surprise for you.

582
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,560
I can't give you any more extension on your rent.

583
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,560
You're two months behind now. In fact, I've got to bump it up another ten bucks.

584
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:07,560
Mr. Flint, I can't pay any more rent. I'm having trouble paying what I own now.

585
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,560
Look, Maria, I have expenses. I've got a business to run.

586
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,560
If you can't pay, I'm going to have to evict you.

587
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,560
Not that I'm going to like doing it, but it's the way it is.

588
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,560
Evict me?

589
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:25,560
But this is all I have. How will I support my children?

590
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,560
What will happen to them?

591
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:32,560
Maria, I can't solve everybody's problems. I have enough problems of my own.

592
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:42,560
Mr. Flint, why are you doing this? We go so far back.

593
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,560
Why are you making this so hard for me?

594
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,560
You think life is hard for you alone?

595
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,560
Dirt bags broke into my house last night.

596
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,560
They took some things that meant an awful lot to me.

597
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,560
Things I can't replace ever.

598
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:03,560
I'm sorry, Mr. Flint. What happened to you is a terrible thing.

599
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,560
I will pray for you.

600
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,560
Hey, Maria, save your prayers for somebody who believes.

601
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,560
You got another week and that's it.

602
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:24,560
I prayed not only for the salvation of myself and my children,

603
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,560
but I also prayed to the Holy Mother for Mr. Flint.

604
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:32,560
I asked for a small miracle that day, even though I knew they don't always come.

605
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:37,560
One never came for my husband Ramon, but I never lost my faith.

606
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:53,560
That afternoon, I filled the coin changer with my last $150 in change.

607
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,560
I was feeling very fearful about the future.

608
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,560
What was going to become of me and my children?

609
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:05,560
I really needed a miracle, but I got just the opposite.

610
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,560
I was about to experience a terrible moment.

611
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,560
Nice. Hey, Mamacita.

612
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,560
Hey, my baby!

613
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,560
Please just stay away from me.

614
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:22,560
Please stay.

615
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:23,560
Are you?

616
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,560
I just want your peace. Don't hurt me.

617
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:33,560
Excuse me.

618
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,560
Man, there's nothing in these things. This place is a toilet.

619
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,560
You hear that lady? She thinks your place is a toilet.

620
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,560
This one here, you think?

621
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,560
I think that's really rude, don't you?

622
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,560
Hey, Mamacita, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good!

623
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,560
I'll do something about it if you tell me I worked in a dump.

624
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,560
What next?

625
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,560
Money.

626
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,560
They were at the machines that I just loaded with change.

627
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,560
They were using slugs instead of quarters.

628
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,560
It was like stealing the last money I had.

629
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,560
I want you to go over there and hit them, lady.

630
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,560
Please stop you're hurting me.

631
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,560
Hey guys, look! I'm winning Vegas!

632
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,560
Stay down. Don't move.

633
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,560
Give me some of them old copper slugs, man. I want one too.

634
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,560
Alrighty. Good luck.

635
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,560
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!

636
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,560
You know, you're very lucky you didn't get hurt, Mam.

637
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,560
These same punks have been going from town to town doing a lot of damage.

638
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,560
It was horrible. I thought they were going to kill me.

639
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,560
Look at this place. It's destroyed.

640
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,560
There's going to be thousands of dollars worth of damage here.

641
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,560
I'm breaking the lease. You're out of here.

642
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,560
But Mr. Flint, it's not my fault.

643
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,560
This is what your prayers did. Nothing.

644
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,560
All that got you was more trouble.

645
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,560
I'm sorry you feel that way.

646
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,560
Excuse me, Mrs. Sanchez.

647
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,560
Looks like they were putting these old coins in your change machine.

648
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,560
Thank you.

649
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,560
Yeah. Let me see that.

650
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,560
Are there any more of these coins?

651
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,560
Yeah, they're in the machine.

652
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,560
I don't believe it.

653
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,560
They're all here. Every one of them.

654
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,560
These are my coins.

655
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,560
Your coins?

656
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,560
The robbery I told you about.

657
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,560
They took my coin collection. Old English pennies.

658
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,560
They're worth a fortune.

659
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,560
But it wasn't the money.

660
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,560
It belonged to my father.

661
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,560
He gave them to me when he died.

662
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:35,560
His fingers touched every one of these.

663
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,560
I thought they were gone forever.

664
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,560
Okay.

665
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,560
I'm going to repair the laundromat for you.

666
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:48,560
You are?

667
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:52,560
You can stay here rent free for as long as you're in business.

668
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,560
Of what?

669
00:40:54,560 --> 00:41:00,560
You have no idea how much it means to me to get these coins back.

670
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,560
Your prayers did work.

671
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,560
It's my way of thanking you.

672
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,560
Thank you.

673
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,560
Amen.

674
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,560
It was a miracle, all right.

675
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,560
It was the first time I had ever heard Mr. Flint laugh.

676
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,560
Is this story true?

677
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,560
The same rare coins that were stolen from Mr. Flint's home

678
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,560
have really turned up at the laundromat.

679
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,560
Both places were located in the same general area.

680
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,560
But what are the odds that those stolen coins

681
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,560
would be just the right size for the coin mission?

682
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,560
Do you believe in this tale of power, faith,

683
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,560
or on closer examination?

684
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,560
Do you find that it just doesn't wash?

685
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:55,560
Next, you'll find out which of our stories are fact

686
00:41:55,560 --> 00:42:00,560
and which are fiction when Beyond Belief returns.

687
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,560
Now let's look back at tonight's stories

688
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,560
and find out which ones were inspired by actual events

689
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,560
and which ones are totally false.

690
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,560
How about the story of the gambler whose luck was changed

691
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:15,560
by a woman with mysterious power, fact or fiction?

692
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,560
What's the game?

693
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,560
You flip.

694
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,560
Head zi-win, tails you lose.

695
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,560
What are you doing, Eddie?

696
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:26,560
Shut up.

697
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,560
If you thought this story was based on a real-life occurrence,

698
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,560
you're right.

699
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,560
It's inspired by a bar and grill where a similar story

700
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,560
took place in the late 70s.

701
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,560
It happened.

702
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,560
Let's take another look at the man

703
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,560
who found himself surrounded by the ghost of the Old West.

704
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,560
Drop your weapon now!

705
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,560
This is not a weapon. This is a phone.

706
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,560
You call people with it. See?

707
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,560
Did you think this story really happened?

708
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,560
We got you, partner. It's a fake.

709
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,560
And what was your opinion of the sewing machine

710
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,560
that saved a young couple's future?

711
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,560
My god, what's going on?

712
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,560
Let's just start it on its own.

713
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:18,560
Is this story inspired by an actual event?

714
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,560
Not this time.

715
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,560
Our writer has exaggerated the truth.

716
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,560
And now let's have one more look at the sleepwalker

717
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,560
who walked out of his family's life.

718
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,560
Daddy said he never leaned me.

719
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,560
I'll be back.

720
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,560
And we have to believe that.

721
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,560
But he's here. In my dollhouse.

722
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,560
Look.

723
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,560
Did a similar story to this one actually take place?

724
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,560
Yes, it did in Florida.

725
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,560
In fact, when author Robert Treiland's investigated the story,

726
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,560
he was shown the doll that was the tiny replica of the father.

727
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,560
It's fact.

728
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,560
How about the story of the laundromat

729
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,560
that was saved by the power of a good woman's prayers?

730
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,560
I can't give you any more.

731
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,560
Extension on your rent. You're two months behind now.

732
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,560
In fact, I gotta pump it up another ten bucks.

733
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,560
Mr. Flint, I can't pay any more rent.

734
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,560
Was this story based on a real happening?

735
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,560
According to our research, this happened

736
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,560
in the vicinity of our nation's capital.

737
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,560
It's inspired by an actual event.

738
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,560
Tonight we've attempted to demonstrate the similar nature

739
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,560
of fact and figure in the story.

740
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,560
Tonight we've attempted to demonstrate the similar nature

741
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,560
of fact and fiction.

742
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,560
We must weigh the difference every day.

743
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,560
And sometimes the only thing that tips the scales are circumstances

744
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,560
that can only be regarded as beyond belief.

745
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,560
I'm Jonathan Friggs.

746
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,560
Join us next week for more

747
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,560
Beyond Belief, Fact or Fiction.

748
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,560
