Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction
Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction is an American television anthology series created by Lynn Lehmann, presented by Dick Clark Productions, and produced and aired by the Fox network from 1997 to 2002. Each episode featured five stories, all of which appeared to defy logic, and some of which were allegedly based on actual events. The viewer was offered the challenge of determining which are true and which are false. At the end of the show, it was revealed to the viewer whether the tales were true or works of fiction.
The series was hosted by James Brolin in season one and by Jonathan Frakes in seasons two, three and four. The show was narrated by Don LaFontaine for the first three seasons and by Campbell Lane for the fourth and final season.
Format
The stories told in the program all had some connection with the supernatural, ghosts, psychic phenomena, coincidences, destiny, and/or with other such unusual occurrences.
Each episode of the show, as well as all stories within, were introduced with a pun or some other form of witticism pertaining to the particular story and episode, and they all included the underlying moral that not everything we perceive as truth and falsehood is as such, and that it can often be difficult to truly separate fact from fiction, hence the show's title.

The Nameless
by: Beyond BeliefThe mourning process revelates, the sun embraced in black
Misery shows, what the hell can cause the hellish truth
Invocation, come forth God
Touch us, the human race
Behold the sufferings
For hell is here, so low
Open wide the gates
To enter the human terror
A domain cursed to be forgotten
Memories of a dying shore
Rattering innocent souls
Infernal chaotic mourning
Shattering the entire area
This is the pain and the loss
Crushing, smashing
The threshold of disaster
As they're bleeding and we fear
Damnation of creation
Mortality has been proved
But our life goes on
Come forth from the abyss
A blaze in red, the open sky
Travelling on seas of blood
Voyage reached the ultimate destination
Crushing, smashing
The threshold of disaster
As they're bleeding and we fear
Damnation of creation
Mortality has been proved
But our life goes on
As the skin burns away
Nothing but trauma remains, remains
Touching white sands, leaving traces of atrocity behind, testify
Four high walls, begin to speak and look me in the eye with disgust
Moving figures, keep on dancing in the shadow of the walls, surrounded
