Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files
*Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files* is a paranormal investigation series produced by Base Productions that began airing on July 15, 2010, on SyFy. The show follows a team of investigators led by former FBI agent Ben Hansen, who examine various photographs and viral videos of alleged paranormal activity. If a particular piece of evidence is deemed intriguing enough to warrant further investigation, they set out to recreate and explain the sighting. Beginning with episode #207 in the first half of season two, the show began to feature a "You Decide" segment in the middle of the program. In this segment, a video of something strange is shown, and the viewing audience is asked if they think the footage is fact or faked. After a commercial break, the truth behind the video is revealed.
