I used to watch this on Friday nights in 1994 when I was 14. LOVED this programme. My dad always made me 2 hotdogs before and I eat them whilst watching it. Happy memories!!!!!!
i remember the hotel one when strange going's on happened, such as the ghost at the end of the bed, the guy could feel its weight like a person sitting there! didnt they show a shillouette in the reconstruction?? that really creeped me out and i just remember going to bed that night with my eyes closed for as much as i could!
This is locked into my childhood memories, i still have clear pictures in my mind now of the scary episodes like, the ghost at the end of the bed, and one about the haunted piano or something, does anyone have all eps on dvd? you can send me
OMG I was fascinated by this when I was younger and never shut up about it LOL, I remember it being very good, and always compare newer 'poltergiest shows' to it. I've not come across it since and so I'm proper excited to watch some of the episodes on here. I bet it's not as good as I remember though as obv I've grown up!
on one episode there was a story about a guy who went to work at the same time every night. one night he was late and saw a van similar his own heading away from his work as he arrived but thought nothing of it. when he got there, there was a sign on the door telling him work was off. He headed back home and saw himself arriving for work in his van.
Hey thats amazing cause thats the episode thats sticks in my mind from when i was a kid watching this show. Correct me if im wrong but not only did he see a van like his going the opposite way but didnt the guy driving it look exactly like him aswell.
Music scared the life out of me even more then 999 did when i was a kid. My family used to love it when it came on i had to watch it because i didn't want to be left alone lol
omg i so remember watching this when i was really little, i kept waking up in the middle of the night but it had nothing to do with this programm, it was the neibours arguing next door but my grandma stopped me watchingit so i missed so much lol :( thankyou for posting this
Did anyone else use to turn away at that weird walking mannequin thing just before the titles appear? nearly everyone in my class did...including me at times.
This was fuckin' brilliant, I remember being young and hooked to this everytime. You never knew why you like just that you did. I hope this is released soon.
that music still creeps me out, i remember not wanting to go to bed after i saw the one about the poltergeist and the floating girls. i hope it comes out on dvd
tell me about it, the music still freaks me and i am only 24, i remember watching it when i was kid. the most scariest eposode was the one two cops get scared by a ghost monk
Im 23 and remembered that one with the cops and the monk being the scariest, it scared the shit out of me for years. Watched it yesterday though, not as scary as i remembered it. Awesome show tho.
I remember I used to watch this show on a Friday night during November and December. I was so terrified to go to my bed upstairs and freaked every time my dog barked at something.
Even listening to that music now gives me shivers. Who remembers the Enfield Poltergeist and the monks on the motorway!!!
Haha! This was one of the best shows EVER!!!!It used to be on at 8.30pm, ITV on a Friday night. I was only 9 in 1993 and used to go to bed straight afterwards! Oh the nightmares!!!!!!
I used to love this show when I was younger, even though it would scare the hell out of me, this just brings back many mermorys. I really would love it if, this where to come out on DVD
I'm not 100% sure but I've checked on TV Shows On DVD's website and according to them it's THAT Strange But True? I've also checked on IMDb and there is no US show of the same name. The cover art also says "hit INTERNATIONAL TV series". We won't know for sure until it comes out but it's looking very promising indeed.
I don't have sky tv. If someone could record all the episodes and sort me a copy I'd happily cover all DVD-r costs and send a bit extra for the trouble.
SBT? starts tonight on the Paranormal Channel (sky 212) I hear.
few episodes...cant remember, i only saw one and it was scary as hell. Do you remember the story where the women was in her kitchen and the lights went on/off then the microwave explodes??
does anyone remember a one off programme called 'ghost stories' it featured on itv 1 around june/july of 2001 and was 2 hours long. mannnn was that scary
I've emailed itv via their website and asked if it's likely to get shown again. I'd recommend others do the same, if they see there is a demand to see it then maybe they'll show it? Worth a try atleast.
PS, if anyone has any episodes on tape can you please contact me, I'd like to either buy the tapes or have them put onto DVD-r.
done befour, the best they told me was I can buy an episode for about £100 and sign a copyright form to say for my personal use and not for public. Gutting nothing like this on at the moment.
£100 per episode? That is ridiculous. If they offered all of the episodes together for that price then I'd strongly consider it. It's a shame MATV lost the rights to show it. I really am beginning to lose hope. Someone out there must have recorded the episodes though.
PS, ITV responded and they say they have no plans to show it again.
This was a grrrrreat show...boy did it scare the crap out of me. I remember they used to show repeats about 4/5 years ago on either bravo or uk gold (cant remember which one) but try emailing them as they might have the rights
oh my god, the policemen investigating the haunted motorway bridge, and the hotel ghost at the end of the bed! and the levitating girl! oh man, i can remember them so clearly now.... used to LOVE this show as a kid... i was scared by the ghost stories but kept on watching them - its true what someone else said, i think kids subconsciously love being scared shitless!
would pay a fair bit of money to get a boxset of all the episodes - come on ITV!
Used to love this programme but the theme music was creepy and the stories even worse - i could never get to sleep as a 10 year old after watching it! The episodes that for some reason i remember clearer are when a husband and wife visit a town in England on holiday and later realise they went back in time to the 70's. Also a man that stayed in a haunted house and the ghost in his bedroom that sat at the bottom of his bed. Ring any bells?
I remember that episode with the ghost on the bed. I think it was of one where a house was being renovated, and happenings occured after an attic had been disturbed. Used to tape these episodes onto VHS!
How much did I love this programme and its creepy theme music? I used to watch it on Friday nights with my brother and a growing number of friends. Every story from every episode was more frightening than the one before. What can I say about the Stocksbridge monk? I think that scared me more than Ghostwatch, except Strange But True is about "real" ghosts. I know a few people who have seen the monk. The aura of "evil" apparently has to be felt to be believed. No pun intended.
This was a great program. Some real weird sh!t on there.
The monk naging on the plicemans car. The guy passing another car that had a driver who looked exactly like him, yet with an evil grin. The guy who spoke to someone from the past, who had a computer in his hovel, placed there by aliens, and the villagers thought He was a witch...
This scared me to death when I was little. I didn't see that many, but the Muncaster Castle and Phantom Hitch-Hiker episodes stick in my memory most. For weeks afterwards I refused to have my bedroom light turned out in case any ghosts came to haunt me.
The strange (but true!) part of it all is that however much it scared me I still watched it if it was on. With hindsight, I think it's true what they say, that children secretly love being terrified witless by things on television.
OMG they need to bring this back it is such a good programme. I use to love watching this and scaring myself. My favourite was when the girl was floating infront of the window and so on. xxx
This gave me shivers, I remember watching it when I was younger and being really scared. If I didn't watch it I would still hear it from my room though and would want to, strange but true lol
I already have the hitch hiker episode but thanks all the same. Really frustrated to hear about MATV no longer showing this, it's not looking good at all. I'm just hoping that one day someone comes forward with DVD-rs of all the episodes.
I will be uploading one episode soon the one with the phantom hitch hicker. False alarm its not on MACTV after speaking to MACTV they said they lost the rights to air it.
Who ever wants to view it message me as it will be private video. This board is watched so anyone who swears or trolls will be banned and the post will just be deleted
I loved watching this show so much when i was a teenager. Some stories used to scare me, but i still loved it. The reconstructions were so well filmed and you gotta love that music, got chills now lol:)
I believe that MATV (Sky channel 793) is showing this series again soon if anyone is interested. If you do watch it then can you record the episodes and post them on here please. Especially the Stocksbridge Bypass and Venetian Palace Incident ones.
You'd have thought with the amount of channels that ITV have these days among others, they'd be able to show it on one of them!? Some of the rubbish that's shown at certain times of the day could be replaced with this gem of a show.
At one time, I'm sure it got fantastic ratings (up to 12 million or so for a couple of the episodes). If I recall rightly the best two ratings wise were the Rendlesham Forest UFO case and the Enfield poltergeist.
No but ive started a forum on the ITV Website to ask for it but not one is signing it. If you can find it , pop your name on it. Ive contacted ITV and they have told me the only way I can get a copy is to sign a document of copyright and pay £299 per episode. Hopefully one day they will repeat
Does anyone remeber a similar show on Channel 4 it was presented by a motorcyclist priest/vicar? i can't for the life of me remeber what it was called!
I associate this with a similar horror-themed program from around the same time, presented by Carol Vorderman, which had a much more dramatic theme tune than strange but true, but I can't remember the name? Please someone tell me if they remember!

I associate this with a similar horror-themed program from around the same time, presented by Carol Vorderman, which had a much more dramatic theme tune than strange but true, but I can't remember the name? Please someone tell me if they remember!

Mysteries with Carol Vorderman 1997, I remember it but was no where near as good as Strange But True. The canned it half way through season 2.

Do you know of any websites that have the full programme? I'd love to watch an episode just to see how ``scary'' it really was.

I remember this show, just about. I used to hide behind the sofa when it came on. It also gave me nightmares. I was about 6 at the time though!
