True ghost tales are narrated by the survivors, each introduction giving the submitter’s name and location. Each collection opens with photographs showing strange faces or appendages, while the narrator warns you’re entering the highway to Hell. The first TV‑movie features the stories “The Lonely Girl,” “Spiritual Flight,” and “Mystery of the Red Earring.”
