For those of you old enough to remember this series, narrated by Leonard Nimoy  ;D

Episode #18 from 1976 follows ghost hunter, Hans Holzer, and places that have been alleged to be haunted. Also there are accounts from people who lived in those places.

I loved that show! Mr. Nimoy was the perfect host.

I'll have to watch what you posted, from home.  My computer at work won't play videos that are on the forum like this.   :'(

Didn't they repackage this series with a new host, sometime in the 1980s?  Or, am I just fumbling "in search of" my sanity?  I think they were the same syndicated reruns with Nimoy's narration, but with a fresh-faced, new host to introduce them and make them seem relevant again.  Anyone? 
If you want to end your misery, start enjoying it, because there's nothing the universe begrudges more than our enjoyment.

They DID repackage it.  I can see the guy's face.....he hosted a similar show....and I cannot remember the guy's name.  Dognabit.

Wait.....it was that guy who hosted "Unexplained Mysteries"?  I think.....

Thank you.  I guess I'm not as addlepated as I thought.  (Okay, not on that topic at least. :-\)  Anyway, I didn't mean to hijack the thread away from Brian.  Thank you, Brian, for posting these.  I'll repost your original message to put the thread back on course:

LOL! You didn't hijack the thread, Karl. It's a relief to know I'm not the only one who remembers this show.  :)

The thing about this episode that I find so intriguing is the impressions of the psychic, Ingrid Beckman, who worked with Dr. Holzer. She didn't speak in the usual vagueries most psychics seem to use, she gave lots of names and even some dates. These names and dates were then verified by Dr. Holzer.
