Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction

For some reason today I was thinking about an old TV show called Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction. The premise of the program was to show five different tales of the paranormal and then the viewer could guess which tales actually occurred in real life and which were made up by the writers.

Yes that's right. You could guess which ghost stories were real. From what I watched (And yes, I watched quite a few of these shows) 90% of the stories followed a basic plotline:

1) Person A interacts with Person B.
2) Person A recounts his/her interaction with Person B to Person C, only to be told by Person C that Person B died before their interaction!!!

I did a little googling of Beyond Belief and came across the Jump the Shark page for the show. Apparently 83 people out of 127 think the show never jumped the shark. 11 people think it jumped the shark at "The Crime Solving Horse". I'm curious what sort of standards the producers employed in order to guarantee the authenticity of the accounts. I'm sure they were very, very rigorous due to the fact that had there been any erroneous claims, Beyond Belief would have been roasted in the media.

Ace Detective: Did this horse really solve crimes?
Slack jawed local: Yep.
Ace Detective: C'mon man, I wasn't born yesterday. Gimmie the real scoop.
Slack jawed local: That horse solved crimes. Ain't no foolin.
Ace Detective: If you're a liar, you're a damn good one.

There's some good comments on the message board from Beyond Belief fans too:

"Guys don't rely on Snopes.com for information. They said a place I've been to didn't exist. I mean it's a good website with a ton of stories, but I've basically discovered you can't really believe their 'facts'. Most of the time they get it, but it only takes one miss to become an unreliable source."

They said a place you went to didn't exist??? I will never trust Snopes again! What sort of place was this exactly? Care to give any hint so that I could verify this myself? Or did Snopes immediately take it down after you so methodically dismantled their chain of evidence?
