Ghost Stories

Fine British actor Patrick Macnee hosts this limited-run TV series about real ghost stories from around the world, and though it is by no means up to "Unsolved Mysteries" or "In Search Of..." (though it does rank along with them compared to the awful 2002 version of "In Search Of..."!) this is still entertaining and interesting.

Some of the editing style does date this to the 1990's, but it is at least intelligently represented and researched. Some memorable stories include the legend of the ghost children, killed in a tragic school bus accident, who are said to push stalled cars uphill over the railroad tracks to safety. Or another involving a western hotel said to be over a secret gateway to hell, where customers and staff have seen and heard evil presences. Some of this is effective indeed, though again it is a bit too stylized as well.
