    Do you remember Ripley's Believe it or Not? With Jack Palance? Is seems like that was the same era. I wonder if they're out there someplace to see again.

    I think I had seen some of those shows. I feel like I'm more familiar with the Ripley's brick-and-mortar sites you can stop at and tour.

    I think Jonathan Franks did something like the unsolved but the more paranormal too right?

    Yeah, he hosted seasons 2-4 of a show called "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction", where they'd present a few strange stories, some which were true and some false, and at the end they'd tell you which were true and which were false. I actually just watched all of the episodes hosted by Jonathan Frakes a year or two ago, as I only became aware of that show recently. I thought it was a good show.

    had the weird supernatural stuff like UFOs and hauntings and such.
    Recently I've started to watch the old episodes of this show

    If you really liked those episodes, you might like some of the shows that are on the History Channel (or one of those other channels that used to be about learning but is now all reality shows). A girl I was interested in got me watching those for a while. IIRC, they are on Sunday afternoons and are not the "ghost hunter" shows. These are all about people telling their stories regarding encounters with supernatural forces (spirits, possible UFOs, etc.) with reinactments thrown in.

    There are a couple shows that I noticed are broadcast on a couple channels in my area, Paranormal Survivor and Hotel Paranormal, and I've set my media server to DVR them. I've watched a few, and I think they're interesting.

    Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction - I have been watching this series on and off over the past few weeks! I remember it being "good filler cable TV" in the late 90s/early 2000s. I wouldn't have been seeking it out, but when flipping through channels on a lazy afternoon it would be a good show to land on. I still enjoy the show as something "not boring, but I don't need to pay much attention".

    The little stories/questions that Frakes tells between segments are hilarious, too - especially when you watch a bunch back to back. And if you play it back at half speed, you get a hilariously drunk Jonathan Frakes.

    haha.. That's pretty good.
    I also like the crossover memes people have made with Jonathan Frakes on Beyond Belief and Star Trek: The Next Generation.

    Haha yeah those breathing videos are hilarious too!

    This one may fit better in the music echo (then again there's no music, so maybe not!) - another silly video:

    Oh yes, I've seen that one too,

    I love You Tube... How about Cockroach Calisthenics. https://youtu.be/64ixCkz4kJ0?si=M4q3OZfAqERnbfZ-

    Although when it comes to something beautiful I still watch Wintergarten's Marble Machine https://youtu.be/IvUU8joBb1Q?si=QcHcz0CqlHyrVhV7

    And finally because I'm a giant child...Unused song from The Labyrinth.

    It took me a few days to reply, I was waiting until I had to a chance to enjoy the videos and wow I'm glad I did. Great stuff!

    I love You Tube... How about Cockroach Calisthenics. https://youtu.be/64ixCkz4kJ0?si=M4q3OZfAqERnbfZ-

    Fantastic. I hadn't seen this before, I wouldn't be able to explain why but I love it!

    Although when it comes to something beautiful I still
    watch Wintergarten's Marble Machine https://youtu.be/IvUU8joBb1Q?si=QcHcz0CqlHyrVhV7

    Absolutely amazing! What a beautiful machine and wonderful music instrument! I don't know how I hadn't seen this before, after 8 years - thanks for sharing it now.
