The ruthlessness of mankind, an unheard of demonic haunting, and a man's fascinating
escape attempt - which of these concepts are real and which are pulled from our imagination?
That's up to you to decide on this episode of Fact.. or Fiction.
The line that divides the factual from the unreal has long since blurred, the tales we
once thought fantastical now implanted as truth.
To decipher verity from the imagined, you must break from the ordinary and consider
a universe where the outlandish prevails.
Can you expand your mind to see beyond our perceived reality?
Can you decide what's fact or fiction?
It was an innocent gig for young Emily Lane, but one that encroached on another's territory,
eliciting a response that many will find shocking..
Story # 1: When Life Gives You Lemons...
Jack Lane was more than happy to provide his daughter, Emily, with the supplies she needed
for her lemonade stand.
He encouraged her entrepreneurial spirit, though he half expected her to grow bored
of the business and want to meander the county fair.
To his surprise, though, on the day of the big event, she remained diligent about her
work.
She was a big seller at the fair, wedged in between an all-beef hotdog cart and a truck
dishing out sausage and peppers in droves.
The smell was driving Jack crazy, but he promised Emily he would stay with her the whole day
to see how well her business was doing.
About halfway through the fair, he popped open her till and counted $50, a fine return
so far on $10 worth of supplies.
Little did he know that, by the end of the evening, poor Emily would really wind up being
more than $100 in the hole.
Ted Bradley was an ornery old man known for peddling his frozen beverages each year.
Nobody ever drank them.
They were always way too thick, but he always found something to blame it on.
This year, it was little Emily.
He came to the cart, looked Jack right in the eye and inquired about Emily's permit
to be selling her lemonade.
Jack initially laughed, thinking he was finally cracking a joke, but when he stood there dumbfounded
by Jack's reaction, he knew there was going to be trouble.
A brief exchange of words and Ted walked away, dissatisfied that Jack refused to force Emily
to shut down her business.
So, instead, he turned to the authorities.
Jack knew the law but felt it ridiculous to impose on a child.
Still, the officer, whom Jack suspected was closer to Ted than he let on, slapped Emily
with a $200 fine and forced her to close the stand.
Her head slumped toward the ground, Emily insisted that she give Jack the money to pay
for the fine, but her father wasn't having any of it.
Jack thought of confronting Ted, but feared it would end in a fight that would surely
kill the old man.
Instead, he took the opportunity to explain to Emily the one aspect of the world she hadn't
had to deal with yet: the harsh jealousy of others.
Could a grown man be so cruel and jealous as to shut down a young girl's lemonade stand?
Clearly, no adult could stoop so low to ruin a child's day, right?

We'll find out if this story is true or not at the end of show, but first, we have a tale
of horrors that will surely keep you up at night.
Can a house be evil?
Eva Ashton knows the answer to that question all-too-well after purchasing a new home in
Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
Story # 2: The Amityville of the Midwest It was meant to be the family home, a place
where Eva and her children - Charlie, Rose, and Alexis - could share a life together.
Eva had eyed up Gatlinburg long before she found the home on Brentwood Lane and was enamored
by its history and small-town feel.
She didn't know that both of those things often come with a hitch: a host of ghost stories
that may very well wind up being true.
Unfortunately for Eva, hers was among the verified accounts.
While the stories Eva was telling about her new home sounded implausible and impossible,
it was only a matter of time before a curious party came in and tried to discount her claims.
That individual was Gary Welling, the first police officer that went the extra step to
look into Eva's horrifying ordeal.
She and her family didn't complain of the typical nuisances that came with a haunting.
Those things had been long gone by the time Welling arrived.
Instead, Eva spoke of possession, young Charlie climbing backward up a wall, levitating beds,
and demonic voices emanating from her sweet children.
It was just like that Long Island case, but he felt this one may have actually been credible.
The further Welling looked into it, the more he witnessed.
He started bringing in third parties to help prove he wasn't going mad, and when they,
too, saw what the Ashton's were going through, he felt better about his mental state.
Terrified for the family, but reassured that he wasn't going nuts.
Investigators arrived in droves to pinpoint the source of Eva's ordeal.
Many sought a practical response, walking away with nothing but more questions.
The children, visibly tired by what some claimed to be their mother's delusions, were eventually
taken by the Department of Child Services.
Eva could feel the presence in her, but had no control over it.
With her children gone and her life spiraling out of control, Eva did the only thing she
could think of - she underwent an exorcism.
It was a violent series of attempts at releasing Eva from the inhuman force that overcame her.
She fought back, her voice speaking in tones that seemed impossible for the woman.
She did eventually beat whatever had overcome her and was able to petition to have her children
returned.
The story of the Gatlinburg home attracted plenty of media attention, but while the Ashton
family ordeal has subsided and they began the path of a normal life, the damage had
already been done.
Eva, tired of the public response to their very private affair, eventually sold the home
in an effort to return to a life of complete and total privacy.
Did a family in the Midwest live through what some claim to be a verifiable ordeal involving
demons, ghosts, and ghouls?
It does sound like the makings of a horror movie, doesn't it?
Let us know what you think in the comment section below, as we get ready for our third
and final story.
Items throughout history can pop up when we least expect them, like the incredible discovery
Corey McIntosh made while combing the beaches of Oahu one day.
Story # 3: An Explosive Discovery He wasn't sure how nobody else had found it.
Maybe it washed up after so many years?
Corey had heard stories of wreckages still being found in the Pacific, so surely the
device that sat in front of him, pulled from a patch of seaweed not far off the coast of
Oahu's southern shore, was from one of them.
Corey was no history expert, but he knew, considering the markings on it and the location,
the foot-long object had to be an unexploded Japanese bomb from World War II.
There was no way it wasn't going to make him a ton of money, he just had to find a way
to get it back to his hotel and find a potential buyer.
That first part, however, was the tricky one.
And expensive.
Isolated on the Hawaiian Islands, there didn't seem to be much of an opportunity to sell
World War II memorabilia.
So he would need to find private transport back to the mainland, where his find wouldn't
be scrutinized and deemed too dangers to fly.
To Corey's surprise, finding a private charter that wouldn't ask questions for the right
amount of money was fairly easy.
With it packaged tightly to prevent unnecessary movement, he set back off to the states.
Upon arrival, it was time to do some research to find out what he had and who would want
it.
What never occurred to Corey was that an explosive device that's more than 70-years-old still
posed a danger.
But he went at it, brushing off the debris accumulated over the years at the bottom of
the Pacific.
He never would have expected it, but it turns out his cleaning and slight movements was
just the right combination to cause a reaction.
It may have been far from the explosion it would have yielded in the '40's, but it was
enough to collapse the first floor of the home into the basement, burying what was left
of inquisitive Corey.
The investigation into the explosion that followed initially assumed it was a meth lab-gone-wrong,
but when experts pulled metal shards from the explosive device, they pieced together
what had happened.
Corey's steps were retraced, leading back to the transport service across the Pacific,
which described him as excitable but secretive.
Ultimately, it was determined that Corey had uncovered a No. 3 Model 2 bomb used rarely
by the Japanese during World War II.
It had a smaller yield and was incredibly rare.
If properly diffused before transport, Corey may have walked away with a decent sum of
money.
We know memorabilia from wars long-since-ended can still be found all over the world, but
was Corey's find real or a tall tale?
Well.. we've reached the point you've been waiting for.. the reveal.
The Reveal: Are you ready to find out if you can decipher
between fact or fiction?
Let's look back at tonight's three stories and find out which were born from reality
and which were fabrications of the imagination.
We started tonight's episode with our story of poor Emily, the lemonade business owner.
Could someone have been so cruel?
The sad truth is, yes, it did.
The five-year-old daughter of Professor Andre Spicer in London was fined £150 during a
festival when it was discovered she did not have the required permit.
How about our second story that follows the Ashton family?
If you think this one is too far-fetched, you may be surprised to find that it actually
happened.
Granted, it happened in the sense that one Latoya Ammons of Gary, Indiana relayed a story
about a haunting in her home.
Her claims of levitation and demonic voices were largely believed to have been verified
by third parties, lending credence to her claims.
Her home was later purchased - and demolished - by Zak Bagans of Ghost Adventures fame.
Finally, we have poor Corey, a visionary who got in a little over his head.
Do you think some vacationer to the Hawaiian Islands uncovered an explosive device from
World War II?
While the No. 3 Model 2 bomb used early on in the war could have been a fascinating find,
our story happened.
This one was fabricated by our very own writers.
How well did you do in tonight's video?
Did you look past the deception of our world and define the oft-blurred line that struggles
to separate lies from the truth?
