A few of these are about haunted houses and evil ghosts(poltergeist)most however are about friendly ghost but all episodes are scary.A lot of these feature commentaries.I'm glad this has gotten an earlier release that October 5th
This will be great for Halloween night or whenever you want to hear a ghost story and Robert Stack's Voice accompined by the scary music they used will make this a must have.I also recommend Unsolved Mysteries UFO's and Unsolved Mysteries Miracles.Unsolved Mysteries UFO's will have a tribute to Stack as one of the bonuses.

I bought this DVD collection to help pass the time on my rowing machine. Mission accomplished: I was almost late to work this morning because i wanted to watch "just one more" episode! The presentation of these stories is superb and is sure to entertain even viewers who (like myself) are born skeptics - but who love a good ghost story just the same. A few reviewers bemoaned the "friendly ghost" episodes, but i found many of those wonderfully creepy, too. This is one of my favorite DVD purchases to date. It'll provide hours of entertainment and is a great value for the price.

I have purchased and/or rented a lot of true ghost stories in the past and I am usually disappointed in them. This is by far the best collection I have ever seen, 6 hours worth of fantastic stories. The stories are interesting and detailed and it is hosted by the late great Robert Stack whom brings the quality up just by his mere presence. This set is well worth the price, anyone interested in true ghost stories will want to add this set to their DVD collection. The best set I have ever purchased.

The only drawback is that a few ghost stories are missing. I remember one about a judge's house in the southwest, and one about lights that followed a train which didn't make it on here. Also, I wish they included the original airdates. But still, these are 34 excellent stories. The tribute to Robert Stack, commentary, and interviews were also well done. It's not too expensive, either.

I have waited for this collection for many years, specifically the tale of "The Tallman's Ghost" which was extremely terrifing and fascinating. I have always enjoyed the professionalism that is brought to this production and I appreciate the attention to detail, while also getting to the point. I cannot express how much I enjoyed this collection, and I will truly cherish it from years to come.

If you are fascinated by the idea that ghosts walk among us, you must have this 4-disc DVD collection. "Ghosts" is one of the better sets of Unsolved Mysteries that has been released on DVD, and it does not disappoint. Be sure to watch late at night with no other lights on for the full effect.

Some of these tales are truly frightening, such as "Tallman's Ghost," "Tatum's Ghost," "Voice From the Grave," "Lake Wales Haunting," and one episode about a murdered man whose killer has never been captured returning to haunt his former mansion. Each episode is shown in its entirety, as they aired on NBC and CBS several years ago. The one episode that does not belong on this set, and I have no idea why it was included, is "Mystery Hum." The hum is in no way attributed to supernatural phenomena.

This is an excellent DVD collection that I strongly recommend.

Being an paranormal investigator myself (when time allows) and someone who loves to read, watch and listen to nearly anything about ghostly phenomena, I had to give this DVD set a viewing (and add it to my collection of related videos). I'm certainly glad I did. It's been a long time since I've seen any of the episodes in this series, but I do remember they were very well done with excellent special effects depicting the spectral events. I just wish there were more actual photos, videos and EVPs included in each show instead of mainly recreations. Can't these people get some evidence of the real hauntings for the Unsolved Mysteries crew before they arrived to interview and document their cases? Guess not. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to put out a tape recorder with external microphone and get some EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena). That's my speciality and I have hundreds of perfectly clear examples I've made myself from many locations. BTW, I made an MP3 copy of the one from the "Queen Mary" episode and did to cleaning passes to get rid of white noise on it. Came out great and the male spirit says, "Americans...Save my soul, kind sir.") Setting up a video camera and just letting it run while the house/room/apartment/etc. is unoccupied is easy as well. Play it back later and see if you got something. Seems all the people in these videos are quite ignorant to simple techniques of capturing ghostly phenomena. The stories are still excellent though. But it drives me crazy to see the people involved in the events not caring for the disembodied spirits. Take, for instance, the episode on disc one called "Grace's Ghost". This woman needs resolution and it seems no one wants to help her out. Someone needs to show her proof that the killer was brought to just many, many years ago so she can finally move on. And the kid in the "Ghost Boy" story on disc one is also in need of help, but not from some clergy. He needs someone to show him how to channel powerful, positive spiritual energies and aim them at the Dark Man. If I can do it, that kid definitely has the potential due to his strong ESP ability to see spirits. You can't just ignore a spirit, no matter where they are. If they live with you, acknowledge their presence. Talk to them, tell them off if they do something you don't like, explain the ground rules of living together, help them out if you can and if they are willing, etc. Calling in a priest to do an exorcism is really dumb, because (1) it isn't going to work unless the spirit is a religious minded individual and (2) it doesn't clear anything up most of the time. A non-religious poltergiest-like spirit is just going to stand out of the way and start up their annoying manifestations later. Anyway, I've gotten off the topic. The DVD set is a must have for any ghost fan's collection. I just wish the credits, both on the disc cases and at the end of each DVD presentation would indicate when a particular episode came out. Nowhere on or in the DVDs is there any indication to when a particular show was made. Quite annoying, but not something that should keep you from owning this fine collection of shows.

Unsolved Mysteries has always been one of my favorite shows, so when this set came out I had to buy it. It was everything I expected. These are some of the best stories ever compiled from around the world. This is perfect for skeptics. I highly recommend this dvd set. It deserves 10 stars insted of 5!!!

I wished there could be more quality documentaries like this - with great story-telling ability. First of all, Robert Stack is QUALITY personality and talent. John Cosgrove, one of the producers and writers of the Unsolved Mysteries series really knows what attracts the attention of the viewing public. These ghost stories are concise and suspenseful. They are lit very well and the camera work is exceptional. The only extras I would have loved to seen is more behind-the-scenes of what goes on when it comes to creating the lighting in these stories...I love the blue gel night scenes....Regardless of my film inquiries, this is one pack of dvds you won't be able to live without - especially during the halloween season. I wished there were more of these - and I wish Robert Stack was still alive to carry on the show - But John Cosgrove did the right thing - just like Jerry Seinfeld - go out on a win, and this is what they did. A+++++++++++++ all of the way!!
