Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction? (usually shortened to simply Beyond Belief) was an anthology TV show that ran for four seasons on FOX from the years 1997-2002. Each episode featured five short stories that involved unbelievable coincidences or the paranormal, and viewers were challenged to judge which were Inspired by... real events and which were entirely fictional. The show was hosted by James Brolin for the first season and by Star Trek: The Next Generation alumnus Jonathan Frakes thereafter with Don LaFontaine as the announcer. (And yes, he does say "In a world.") Although some of the stories, even factual ones, were extremely far-fetched, it remains a cult favorite and a great source of nostalgia for anyone who watched it during its original run.

Ambiguously Human: Due to the stories and their settings, tales featuring a mysterious character will leave it questionable if said character was a ghost, angel or some other entity who either rewards the good or punishes the bad.

Asshole Victim: If someone dies in these stories, chances are they deserved it. Stories like "Used Car Salesman" and "Anatole" are good examples.

All for Nothing: From the tale of "The Wealthy Widow". Dirk marries Cassie, the titular widow, because her deceased husband didn't trust banks and hid a chest full of money on their property and planned on finding it. Not only is Dirk killed by Cassie's husband's ghost tricking him into shooting blindly and making the chest fall on his head, Cassie had already found the chest. Unlike her husband, she trusted the bank and deposited all of it, meaning Dirk's plans were ruined before he even formed them.
