I used to watch "Encounters: The Hidden Truth" back in the '90s. It aired on the Fox network from 1994 to 1996. I think it started with one special that aired early in 1994, which did well in the ratings and led to the production of the weekly series later that year. It aired sporadically in different time slots and on different nights for 2 or 3 seasons. Even though it seemed like a similar replacement for the "Sightings" TV show that Fox had canceled in 1993, Encounters had a slightly different style and spin on its paranormal content. While I liked Sightings a lot more, I still liked Encounters and watched it whenever it was on. Despite the less than glowing review that another reviewer gave this show on this board, I think it was pretty good and was worth watching for anyone who was interested in the paranormal. The other reviewer obviously doesn't believe in paranormal events and apparently likes to look down on shows like this. The show's original host John Marshall seemed to be somewhat skeptical, but the paranormal stories were still presented in a straightforward and serious manner, nonetheless. Marshall and his team of investigators were replaced by actor Steven Williams (from "The X-Files") in the last 3 episodes of the series.
