I watch the new Unsolved Mysteries, and yes, they’ve taken out most of the horrifying aspects named (the spooky music, etc.) When I was about 11 I used to stay up and watch Unsolved Mysteries at night and the end titles theme would completely freak me out.

You captured the whole essence of Unsolved Mysteries PERFECTLY!!!!!!!! It scared me sooooo bad when I was younger, but somehow I was drawn to it!!! from the music, to the update and criminal sketchings……But Robert Stack TOOK THE CAKE!!!! I Loved him!!! And was sad when he died…I always found it fascinating that he would do his commentary from the place where the crime was committed, IE a zoo, a house, the side of the road,the bank……no other host has come close to him……. he embodied unsolved mysteries. Unsolved mysteries has been revived on the Spike channel with host Dennis Farina and I will admit though he brings something new to the show with his commentary, Robert Stack is the king of all mysteries that dare to be unsolved….the only thing on TV today that comes close to the suspense of Unsolved mysteries, is the segment on Americas most wanted when there is the part about a cop who has been slain in the line of duty……every time I hear that eerie music I get scared and have to change the channel! The stories from Unsolved mysteries that scared me the most were the one about the creepy ape named Oliver, his picture is sooo creepy……Then there was the one about Angelo Desideri, the businessman who simply vanished……My all time favorite is the story of Teresita Basa,the ghost who told her co worker who it was that murdered her and that the murderer gave the jewels he had stolen from her to his girlfriend….with this information the co worker went to the cops and they found the jewels on the killers girlfriend…….and the killer Allen Showery. In court Showery’s lawyers tried to claim that a ghost talking through a co worker was not admissible evidence, but in the end he was convicted of the crime……justice from beyond the grave, that’s what I call it !!!!!sends a chill up my spine every time I think of that story…..anybody else?

Hey there. Long time no see. I was wondering when you’d update again.

Anyway, I adored Unsolved Mysteries. Yeah, it was creepy. But at the same time, you just could not take your eyes off the program.

Oh my god, that fucking Allagash abductions thing freaked me out for a few years. I had forgotten about it – until now….

There are a lot of ghost segments equal to or scarier than Tallman’s Ghost, and the one that stands out for me the most is Resurrection Mary. That scared the everloving bejesus out of me, especially the part where the two women in the car run her down. Her EYES during that scene turned my blood to ice water.

i think the scariest one is an unexplained death episode about the guy who “committed suicide” in his hotel bathroom cutting his wrists in the bathtub. he was an investigative reporter digging into the deaths of some military guys who were all in the same platoon. remember those military killings that UM aired years earlier about the 2 soldiers who “hung themselves” with parachute cords? i think he was digging into that. i could be crazy but im pretty sure this episode exists and i remember it scared the shit out of me when i watched it.

OMG thank you for the Unsolved Mystery post. The music alone made me pee myself. I’m ashamed to say that it is now in the middle of the day, and this 31 year old woman is too afraid to watch it right now. I would say that the “bunk bed episode” has severly seered itself into my brain. I was just happy not to have a bunk bed at that point. But what about the episode of “wheeping Mary” or something like that. The girl ghost that is picked up by a army guy in the 1940′s, takes her to a dance, remarks on how cold she is, drops her back off at the cemetary, then disappears in his rear view mirror.

I whole heartedly agree with you that this is why our generation is severly warped. And I recently confirmed that fact while watching “you can’t do that on television” on youtube. Kids in front of firing squads, a creepy old man in every shot, blatant making fun of “Moose”, Christine, whom I thought was the hottest on the show. Check out “SlimeCon2009″ on youtube. Everyone re-unites. Everyone is looking good, except poor Alistair is bald.

And the Canadians weren’t done with us yet with “Are you Afraid of the Dark”. Gah. I can still see that kid in the carnival fun house returning back that scary clown’s nose after dropping spaghetti all over the floor. And another creepy episode where a kid that was killed on his bike helped solved another murder. His rusty bike washed up. Blech. How could they do this to us? Had they no realization of the inner torment they caused?

One last note, the Sci Fi channel blessed me about a year ago with re-runs of “Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction” That show was lame-o and cheesy beyond belief (no pun intended). I never got to re-view the episode where the people are on the Hidenberg. Oh well. Probably for the best. Hopefully I’ll work up the courage soon to see those clips of Unsolved Mysteries, but just know that I feel your pain!!!

When I was a kid just hearing Robert Stack’s voice made me wet myself. Until I saw BASEketball.

I think the Anthonette Cayedito one was scary! In ’86, a 9 yr old girl answered the door at 3am, guy says “it’s Uncle Joe” and she gets snagged away. A year later she called the cops identifying herself only to get the phone taken away. 5 years later at a rest stop restaurant, she tried to get help silently, but didn’t budge. Assume she’s probably dead now.

Good list! I remember most of these as I think we’re about the same age. I would have made this the “8 scariest unsolved mysteries segments” and included the one about the haunted Queen Mary ship. About 8 or 8 minutes in when the lady turns around, and the bearded guy is behind her….man, that moment is frozen in my head because it scared the crap out of me when i was 10.
