Young people will never know the fear that Robert stack's voice created when this show come on back then lol worst thing was being told to take the trash out at night after watching this

The reunion of James & Mitchell was so touching. It’s crazy to think about how hard it used to be to get back in contact with people from your past, even when you knew their name!

This man's voice was a huge part of my childhood. When he spoke I was captivated.

Agatha, definitely did this as a way to get back at Archie! Sheer brilliance 👏👏

I love the true story of the two soldiers finding each other after so many years. You never leave a man behind and this proved true even though it was against the rules to leave their posts. I loved this uplifting true battlefield story. It was lovely to see the two meet each other after so long and all the family. So beautiful.

the reunion of James and Mitchell was SO WONDERFUL to see. i love re-watching these episodes so many years later!❤

that Freshour case is a reminder why you DON'T put ppl away without concrete evidence. they would hate me on a jury.. I wouldn't convict someone without irrefutable proof.

Mr. Pearson, as a former soldier myself , I thank you sir for your service to our country and the selfless bravery you showed in battle by protecting Mr. Shigemoto. Thank you brother!

Mitchell Shigemoto and James Pearson. One of the most touching stories ever profiled. American heroes/comrades reunited at last........

What's awesome about this show, is that it never focused on 1 type of mystery, or unknown. It ranged from disappearances, lost loves, lost friends, supernatural, and everything in between.

Usually care less for the reunion segments. It’s a great heartwarming idea but honestly i usually skip thorough ‘em. But gotta say the James Pearson story was AWESOME. What a great man.

The reenactments are just as good as movies. I would legitimately have watched the Agatha Christie reenactment.

Thank You Film rise!

The Circleville letters....a 10 out of 10 on the eerie scale. What a scary case, I think it's a favorite of a lot of fans. The narration of the letters makes the segment even more scary, that voice give me goosebumps. Fascinating mystery.

Imagine being single handily responsible for saving a mans life and his wife and children have there life and existence partially to thank for the man who saved there fathers life, thats pretty amazing thing.

whoa, 53 minutes in and just now realizing that this is a double episode. Great!

Still get goosebumps and I'm 34 and it's still the same when I was 11

I think i figured it out....Paul estranged wife was behind it all....she was the only one with access to his gun....maybe she had a lover to help her..

I remember watching the Circleville Letter Writer story as a kid and it scared me. Seems like Paul is innocent, it's amazing how calm he was after spending all of those years in prison. Even as a kid when I heard they had an affair after the letters I thought it sounded like bull.

2 hours of sweet, sweet mysteries Where's my popcorn & junior mints? PS: That 'Circleville Letters' mystery is one of my favorites. It's definitely BEYOND WEIRD.

That Fairfax county police representative was lying, I read it through his body language, and the fact he kept looking away. Pay attention to him....

Nobody can narrate this stuff like the great Robert Stack. Did you notice that the Stack episodes give a lot more detail and background to these stories? Watch the Agatha Christie segment with Bob, then watch the one with what's his name.

My first crush Stack. I met him in California while working as a beer model on a golf course. I told his lovely wife how much I adored her husband! She couldn’t have been sweeter!! She knew how appealing her hubby was!!

The soldiers brought tears to my eyes to any service men or women who come across this comment thank you for your sacrifice that includes emergency service officers

This show makes me feel like I'm 13 years old again, when my biggest problem was losing tv privileges. God, I miss those days. And this show. The alien abductions and lost loves were my favorite. Oh hell, they were all my favorite. But the reunion between Mitchell Shigemoto and James Pearson in this one still gives me happy tears.

this show was so creepy to me as a kid. Especially when I would see "the unexplained" pop up as the topic! I knew that meant a ghost story was coming. Awesome memories.

If I had a dollar for every time I hear the word amnesia on USM, I'd be a millionaire.

Tommy's case: How do you have a broken jaw and commit suicide? I'm pretty sure that the bullet didn't break Tommy's jaw (if it did the ME/Coroner would have said so). I do Not believe the police department. I believe that he was beat to death and murdered.

That creepy zoom in at 6:35 when Robert Stack says “Mary had some ideas on who was sending the letters.”

Noone even looked at who owned a yellow elcomino?! What kind of police work is this?

Anyone else crying to see the 2 wartime buddies United 😭😭🥰

Paul got so shafted in this murder case. It's totally obvious that there is no way he could've written those letters, especially while in prison. Having to serve 10 years of his life for something he didn't do. Ruin his reputation. The letters still being written while he was in prison should've convinced everyone of this innocence. Yet, not even his sister-in-law stood up for her brother-in-law and STILL let him take the fall. Plus, she wouldn't even be interviewed for this show. I think she definitely had something to do with the letters and her husband's murder. She probably was having the affair (they said she started dating the man "after" the murder. Yeah, right. How convenient) and had her lover kill her husband after the phone call, baiting him into a trap. This angle was never looked at by authorities at any point, yet it seems so obvious now. You have to look at EVERY angle during an investigation (especially that the spouse as a possible suspect), yet they seemed to have their minds made up. It seems like once you're convicted of a crime, it's almost impossible to get the conviction overturned, no matter what evidence proves your innocence. It's disgusting! Paul is a better man than me. He doesn't seem bitter at all. God bless him and that he may prosper the rest of this life for the total injustice he received in this case.

Gwyn Robbins got the Christie story bang on. She never spoke of it because it was her own private revenge. As a proper woman, it was no one elses business.

That Circleville Letter Writer case. Somebody had way too much time on their hands. Just crazy. And 13 years in prison but not considered wrongly convicted because nobody else has ever been charged. Nuts.

The authorities did a lousy job with the Circleville Litters. Lock them all up for putting an innocent man behind bars

El Sickos: My new mariachi band.

They had a relationship after her husband was killed MAAAAN GTFOH 🤣 She didnt show her hisband the letters vecause she wanted it to go away....man thats a liar and she knew she was cheating from the beginning and someone new and was blackmailing them

Just a heads up to people, this is the episode that features the Circleville letters that you often seen ripped off from various true-crime channels and blogs. This episode actually features an interview with Paul Freshour, the man incarcerated for the letters.

Thank you Unsolved Mysteries for the upload. Watching from Australia.

The British people who were interviewed in the Agatha Christie segment were very strange. They described the whole tragic situation in such a dramatic, almost gleeful, way. Very "National Inquirer"ish attitude. The only one I truly feel sorry for was her little daughter. That poor child had to deal with such drama and was never really referenced in this whole segment. Children almost always seem to be the forgotten and ignored victims in these situations. About Archie: He would be "disgraced" by divorcing Agatha, but NOT disgraced by being a cheating bum? LOL!!! Great logic, Arch!!!

Robert Stack could have made a shopping list sound fascinating

Who is the suspect with the brother whom owns a yellow el camino??? I wanna know!! ...obvious police coverup...

Mr. Pierson...you sir are a true hero. As a United States veteran myself, I salute you.

I will say that Unsolved Mysteries episodes of the mid to late 90’s took on an “X Files” Look and Feel.

Unsolved mysteries used to give me nightmares I was born in 1990 my dad would asked me does the show give you nightmares I would lie and say no, Because I love the show and wanted to stay up with my dad I love you dad

Thank you Robert stack rest in peace you will be missed unsolved mysteries will never be the same without you your the best even if unsolved mysteries got cancelled a few years ago means it is cancelled forever so sad but true 😢😭

One of the BEST reunions EVER! 👌🏻💚

Look how young this soldiers looked. I'm so glad they found one another again. My dad is an ODS vet and I remember when a guy reached out who was deployed with him. You would've thought he won the lottery with the way he gushed pure joy. It's one thing to have a good family, a good life after service but having someone who was there and understands the shit you endured to live , that's something extremely special.

I used to watch this as a 6-7 year old I’m 32 now I’ll always be a fan forever Robert stack was and still is the real deal

Drunk History did an episode called Drunk Mysteries in the style of Unsolved and they did a sketch on Circleville letters. It's hilarious but they also present the totally not bonkers theory........Mary was sending the letters to herself. They theorized a school bus driver would know town gossip from overhearing children talking on the bus. I don't know, but I don't think it's actually the worst theory. Mary would potentially have motive to get her husband out of the way if she were having an affair.

Aww the James and Mitchell story has made me cry.

This Show used to scare the shit outta me as a Kid but at the same time You still wanted to keep Watching😅💯 Classic Show RIP the Great Robert Stack🙏🏽

This show spooked me growing up

Ah, the wonderful nostalgia... ❤️ An integral/active part of Unsolved Mysteries WAS the viewer. Unsolved Mysteries celebrated their show by *SOLVES!* Most celebrate by episodes (as I'm sure they did, but not nearly the same). Such an amazing show premise & how well it worked... Obviously this show could not work today... Not to the same degree. That's part of it's "magic". Right from the creepy, mysterious theme music, the plethora of stories, mainly unearthed & uprooted from everyday life, with some famous cases. Then, to our hero & host, the magnificent, inimitable, incomparable Mr. Robert Stack. RIP ❤️

First hour: This was a particularly good episode - that last story was heartwarming and moving.

Paul needs to sue the police, the district attorney and everyone else involved in putting him in prison

Are they sure the note didn’t say, “Please burn my body to destroy evidence.”?

The wife sent The letters to her self. She had the motive of covering up her affair and she had the ability to drive to Columbus to send those letters possibly right through her bus route since it was only 30 Miles away she probably could’ve done that. The fact that she was so callous inher testimony at Paul’s trial shows she wanted to get out of the relationship and knew where Paul’s gun was to set him up. I wouldn’t be surprised that the person Mary was having an affair with setup the booby trap and also killed her husband. The state police should have been brought in to take over that investigation since it was tainted possible by a bought off local sheriff.

I think Mary Gillispie was the letter writer. The letters alleged an affair that she later acknowledged did in fact happen, but only "after" the letters started. She stopped to remove a sign and thought to inspect the sign post's structural integrity or whatever and uncovers a box containing a firearm stolen from her brother-in-law's garage.

Wow Paul Freshour did 10 years, and they never proved that he was the letter writer. The spookiest thing is who stole his gun and how?

Thank you for the upload please keep them coming.😁

Robert Stack and this opening of Unsolved Mysteries used to freak me the F out as a little kid. If sneak up after bed and watch this show on my little portable TV under the blanket 🤣 Also, the police 100% know whose behind the circleville letters…..

Forensic Files + Unsolved Mysteries = favorite late night thrills. Thank you FlimRise

This show was the greatest show ever

I loved this show and still do even though I've seen these episodes before I never get tired of them I love mysteries and nobody could've done it better than Robert S thank you

I think the sheriff wrote the letters.

can u imagine ur dirty laundry being aired over cb's lol

Why didn't that other bus driver contact Paul's defense attorney, and tell him/her what she had seen?

What a story of the soldiers finding each other by someone viewing Unsolved Mysteries bringing them together! Beautiful!😘💜💛

I agree with the two comments ...(after mine ) His voice still holds attention ,I'm 44 now. I started watching unsolved mysteries when I was about 10 years old . ( 1987 ) When it 1st started coming on TV. ..."I actually dated myself ,didn't I ?.. .lol

The Circleville Letters segment is classic UM strangeness. And the fact the writer sent a postcard to the TV show calling them “el sickos” is hilarious. 😂

I’d forgot how creepy this music is.

Agatha Christie. The original Gone Girl.

It’s always the saddest when innocent people serve time, like 10 years just cuz they didn’t want to do their job. YIKES! That guy remains happy and I believe him to be innocent but geez. It’s be hard not to be spiteful, or what. When No one believes you and the mysterious writer themselves harasses you!! I can’t believe the one person who might’ve known, wound up dead! Such a mystery that should’ve been taken more seriously 😒

Brings back when I was like 9 years and watching this at night!

I love when humans act like people. . . shout out to james and mitch

Think the Circleville writer/perpetrator was a female. Maybe someone having an affair with the superintendent as well.

This show gave me so many nightmares when I was a kid...and yet I loved it.

The car chase at 53:07 the black car is the legadary Buick Regal Grand National. Looks like a 1985 model. You can hear the turbo spool in the car scene. From 0 to 60 or the quarter mile it ruled and was rarely beat either in the street or the track. In 1987 it was the fastest production car in the world even beating the Corvette and Ferrari.

I was twelve when I started watching this show(and loving it), it was freaky enough then, but, god, the voice used to read the letters hear...still gives me chills to this day.

For the parents of Tommy, what did their phone records or his show? I find there's something flaky with that Police Department!

I remember watching the story about the soldiers when it aired, as a kid I was so happy they got reunited.

The reunion of the two Vietnam War soldiers is one of my favorite stories on UM!

11:04 nevermind that it could've been a bomb. Opened inside of a school bus.

As it is today in 2020 I am now binging on the unsolved mysteries episode keep them coming it's greatly appreciated and definitely brings back some interesting memories so yeah I'm I'm binge watching at this point I love the show it's so intriguing it always has been and Robert stack was legendary

Show was meant to educate and inform folks in order to help solve cold cases and locate missing individuals but once that music kicked in and Stacks million dollar voice dropped in, if you were a kid or a teenager back in those far off wonderful times, you couldn’t help but to instantly have three things happen to you, you’d start to shake and tremble, your heart would start to beat a little faster, and some would even get so frightened they would soil their underwear before the first beat loop. God damn I…no,WE loved this show so very much!!!!

Whenever they say someone was a model prisoner, you know what's coming next, the escape

I miss you Robert Stack

Thanks For Another Great Episode Of Unsolved Mysteries With Robert Stack It's Back The Agatha Christie Story Tho Always Fascinates Me I Think Her Husband Archie Christie Was Involved In Her Disappearance He Was Going Out With A Woman Named Nancy Neal He Didn't Seem To Care About Her At All I Guess The Case Will Always Remain An Unsolved Mystery

Robert Stack gives me such nostalgia!

In the *Circleville Letters* case, I think that it was *Mary Gillespie.* 1. It was *her* idea to write back using her brother-in-law as a pawn. 2. She wasn't even home when her husband went out into the night in anger looking to confront *The Writer.* 3. She would've been able to steal her brother-in-law's gun because she was close to him. 4. It was her who found the booby trap. 5. And after it was all said and done, she admitted to having an affair. In my opinion, she orchestrated this elaborate plot to get rid of her husband, frame her brother-in-law so that she could continue with her new lover in peace and with insurance money from her husband's death. Oh, the deadly webs we weave when we practice to deceive..

What Archie Christie did to Agatha was wrong.. but what she did to him was absolutely deserved! If he loved Nancy Neele, he could have asked for the divorce or pursued it himself first. One humiliation deserved another, and the fact that she so artfully did this to him I hope to one day place a rose on her grave in admiration.

Southamericangirl42 My heart just aches for Tommy's parents. I can't imagine how their pain is being compounded by the lies of people who should be upholding the law instead of breaking it, by folks who insult their intelligence at every turn. The higher law of the Lord dictates lying is an offence, too, and one day soon these men will receive their due. RIP Tommy.

Still watching... 1/1/22 ... And its as great as ever.!!!

I think Mary pulled off the perfect murder.

I think the Circleville writer told Ron to meet him at an unknown location to settle the score. When Ron jumped in his truck and sped off to confront his tormentor, he was unwittingly speeding into a trap. There was probably something placed in the middle of the road to force Ron to swerve and crash. The Circleville writer is evil, and his calculated stalking and terrorizing of his subjects makes him even more terrifying.

In the first story it's so obvious that Mary and the superintendent are the killers. Mary and the superintendent made it look like it was her brother-in-law who was doing all this. I bet the superintendent hired someone to make that call to Ron and set up a meeting. I'm sure there was more people involved other then Mary and superintendent. This cases pisses me off. Why didn't they even mention that Mary might be a suspect!?

Was I the only one that got excited when I saw that beautiful black Buick Grand National? Those cars sparked my love for all things automotive.

Those two brave veterans are like a pre-Rush Hour friendship lol. I love it!
