Scary...but True

Tonight, I was watching some TV, flipping through the channels trying to find something I haven't seen a hundred times already, and I stumbled up on this reality show called Scary..but True on the Fox Reality channel. I have Direct TV, BTW. I've seen an episode of this show before (can't remember when, though).

Scary...but True basically has the same premise as ABC Family's Scariest Places on Earth and MTV's Fear. It contains several stories about haunted locations across the US (I think) and people, particularly teens, spend a night in that place or test out the legends. I, personally, don't really care for a lot of paranormal reality type shows because it's mostly about entertaining rather than the paranormal aspects of it. To be honest, this one didn't really impress me much either. Most of the things they heard or saw, like a light in the distance, a door slamming shut, or footsteps outside a closed door, could have easily been done by someone on the production crew or whoever.

I would give you information about where you can see it, if it's still on the air or whatever so you can form your own opinion about the show but I have looked everywhere and can't find hardly anything about this show. After doing a few searches, a found a few threads on different forums here and there but not really anything useful to report. So, I have no idea where you can find it (besides the Fox Reality channel), if it's still on the air, or anything like that. Anybody have any information about this show or opinions?

BTW, there is a show called Strange but True. From what I understand it isn't the same as this one despite the similarities in the titles.

First of all, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Horror Day. Later on tonight, you will have a chance to win 1,000 BlogMad credits. Keep checking for that. Now on to tonight's first story. Henry Adams hired American sculpture Augustus St. Gaudens to construct a memorial for his beloved wife, Marian "Clover" Adams who committed suicide after the death of her father. After four years, the piece was finished in 1891. It was never officially named, but it was mostly known as the "Adams Memorial" and later "Grief". Stories vary as to how it received that nickname. The statue was so fascinating that a sculpture named Eduard L.A. Pausch copied it. The statue would go to be named "Black Aggie". General Felix Agnus purchased the copy in 1905 to place at his family's tomb. Then had a monument and pedestal created that would closely match the setting of the Adams Memorial in Washington. No one knows exactly why he chose this statue. A year later,

Edna Collings Bridge

Edna Collings Bridge also known as Edna Collins Bridge was built in 1922 over Little Walnut Creek. It was the last covered bridge built in Putnam County, Indiana replacing a concrete bridge washed out in high waters. And it's believed to be haunted. The most common story is Edna Collins was a little girl who went swimming in Little Walnut Creek often as she lived nearby. Her parents would drop her off on their way to town. When they returned, they would honk the horn three times to let her know it was time to leave. One day, her parents followed their usual routine except this time Edna failed to respond. Upon searching the creek, she was found dead (allegedly by her father), having drown. Circumstances concerning her death unknown. Variations of this story has her mother following her in death. Grieving over lost of her child, her mother placed a noose around her neck and hung herself. Another piece has her father being the one who built the bridge and named it after his daugh

Lorelei Inn

In Green Bay, Wisconsin and looking for some good German food? Lorelei Inn may be the place for you. Built in 1926, this restaurant was named after a woman in Germanic folklore named Lorelei. She falsely accused of bewitching men but was soon pardoned. Unfortunately her victory would be short lived. She climbed a rock looking for her unfaithful lover, slipped and fell to her death. Lorelei Inn has only been owned by two families and doesn't have a seedy past. However, it is believed to be haunted by several spirits. Footsteps have been heard in the upstairs area. One of the spirits believed to haunting this restaurant is a former owner named Leonard Hack. He supposedly hangs out at his once favorite place, the bar. Many have felt his presence there as well as smelled cigarette smoke. He is also believed to visit the basement area where the office is located. Objects move around on their own, sometimes pots fall off hooks. The TV turns on by itself. There's also a haunted ta
