#28 Don’t let your ghost cat on the counter [S3E9]
The group talks about how great it would be to interview Jonathan Frakes and James Brolin for the show. Would Frakes play along and would his predictions be correct? Did he record all of his material in a single day? Would Josh Brolin be a good host for the reboot?
Story 1: For the Record—Lauren and her fiancé, born on the same day, search for the truth of their birth.
- The group points out how strange the voices of the actors are.
- Chris points out that the daughter’s blood type has to match her parent’s. Turns out Jesse doesn’t know his blood type.
Story 2: Halloween—old man Harold Ratcher hates Halloween, scaring away the kids each year, but someone is about to scare him back.
- The group agrees this is one of the spookiest stories on Beyond Belief.
- Chris doesn’t think there was anything supernatural or ghostly going on. The props get in the way of his believability.
- Kyle thinks the tropey-ness makes it feel fiction. There were a lot of slasher films in the ’90s.
Story 3: Precious—A child psychiatrist is called in to help a little girl who spends a too much time with her cat. Her dead cat.
- The group thinks there was just an old picture on the roll of film.
- Chris tells us that his psychic heard a passing dog say “my butt hurts.” Turns out the dog had hemorrhoids; ergo animals could have psychic abilities.
Story 4: Get your kicks at Motel 66—a police officer suspended for a teen beating stops at a motel with his wife, only to be haunted by vengeful ghost.
- The group thinks the kernel is that a cop killed himself in this motel.
- Kyle thinks they put in the Billy the Kid element to make us think its fact.
Story 5: Phantom Drifter—on a road trip, a bickering couple pick up a hitchhiker who ends up having some sage advice.
- Kyle thinks the couple actually went to a marriage/couples counseling retreat.
- Jesse thinks the drifter just sounded like he was reading fortune cookies.
- Chris said this segment gave him chills.
The story results are revealed.
- Will Chris finally get all of the stories correct? Nope.
