    Strange but True? is a British supernatural documentary television series, presented by Michael Aspel, which explored supernatural phenomena and unexplained mysteries. It was produced by LWT and broadcast in the United Kingdom on ITV between 1993 and 1997. A pilot episode in May 1993 proved popular, and led to four series, including the third which was given the title of Strange but true? encounters. It achieved viewing figures of up to 12 million in the UK alone.

    The series explored a number of aspects of unexplained activity, from ghosts and poltergeists, to near-death experiences, vampires and aliens. One episode featured an apparent communication from aliens in the year 2109. Other episodes featured phenomena including "phantom hitchhikers" and 11th-century monks in haunted castles. The live episode in June 1997 was screened to mark the 50th anniversary of the Kenneth Arnold UFO sighting – the case from where the term 'Flying saucer' first entered popular vocabulary. The story consultant for Strange but True? was Jenny Randles.

    True (EP)

    True is the debut extended play (EP) by American recording artist Solange Knowles, first released on November 27, 2012 digitally through Terrible Records. Following the release of her second studio album Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams (2008), Knowles announced that she had parted ways with Interscope Geffen A&M after releasing just one album on the label, and further revealed that she had chosen to go an independent route, eventually signing with Terrible Records. In 2009 Knowles began the recording of a studio album, during which she suffered a "breakdown" due to the amount of time and emotion she was putting into the recording process

    A neo soul album, True contains an eclectic sound that takes influence from PBR&B, new wave music, dance, 1980s pop, and electronica, whilst the extended play's production is characterized as containing '80s references, keyboards and African percussion. The recording process took three years and was handled by Knowles and producer Dev Hynes. Together the pair produced, wrote and composed all of the songs, a decision Knowles made due to their chemistry, friendship and work relationship.

    Strange But True

    by: Prince

    Okay, let me say this quick - before I start 2 cry
    U're the only one that I gave it 2, the one I fantasised 4
    And time away from U has taught me
    What I should have known
    That this hole I'm trying 2 fill with another - yeah, it's grown
    And I got your package
    But when I tried 2 write back I bailed
    See, trying 2 express the future, sometimes language fails
    And over this time I've learned
    My life force is increased by knowing U
    Every door that closes, another one opens
    Strange but true
    Strange but true
    No regrets because I forget the unfamiliar faces
    Those petty lies and alibis, just golddiggas chasing
    Dreams of sovereignty, they tried to come between U and me
    A curse therein set forces a chain of events
    That only freed me when I remembered
    Where I was and who I am
    The only Prince that will ever rule this holy land
    All understand and all standunder this affirmation now
    By the power invested in me by God...
    All negativity bows
    Strange but true, let's see what U can do
    U may have lost me, but I found myself
    The ones who love me without condition - this is my wealth
    And with these words I will win
    Repeat them over and over again
    All understand and all standunder this affirmation now
    By the power invested in me by God...
    All negativity bows
    All negativity bows
    All negativity bows
    Strange but true, let's see what U can do
    Strange but true, let's see what U can do
    All negativity bows
    (Strange but true)
    (Strange but true)
    Strange but true (true, true...)
    All negativity bows
    (Strange but true, let's see what U can do)
    All negativity bows
    (All negativity bows)
    Strange but true
    Strange but true
    (Strange but true)
    (Strange but true)
