I love the Biography channel. Unfortunately it's not part of my regular dish package. It is one of the free previews this month though so I'm making the most of it. I also love ghost stories and apparently Saturdays on Bio are all about ghost shows. Sweet!
So anyway "Haunted History" is sort of cheesy. The narrator actually played the Devil in a short-lived TV show called "Brimstone" that I watched in high school which I think is a nice touch. The episode I'm watching is about hauntings at sea. So of course they've got this scruffy Norwegian-sailor looking guy telling stories on the dock. He leans in to start telling the story of The Flying Dutchman all spooky-like and he reaches down to scratch the head of his loyal... .. Pembroke...WTF?!? Not that I was taking the show all that seriously to begin with but now I'm laughing my ass off. I mean sure, they are compact and would probably be more than happy to dispatch rats on a ship but really...a Pembroke? Spooookkyy.....
At the end of the show this salty fellow picks up his Corgi (who is grinning from ear to ear BTW), nods to the camera "No one really believes in ghosts," and turns and vanishes, Pem and all. Again with the laughter...God I love this station!
