Stories of ghost ships have been told by superstious sailors for centuries, but is there any truth to them? Modern science attempts to explain some of the more baffling cases like that of the Mary Celeste which was found without her crew and no signs of fowl play.

The first season of 'Is it real?' is an excellent example of sceptical investigation. All evidences provided by "experts" (ie nutjobs) for their paranormal beliefs are thoroughly debunked by the use of real science. It also illustrates how "believers" are unwilling to change their beliefs regardless of the amount of evidence that disproves them.
The bigfoot episode is particularly telling in that they track down the makers of the famous 1967 film including the guy who wore the gorilla suit. Bigfoot experts had been going on and on about how unhuman like the bigfoots walking was then they showed the guy striding along in exactly the same manner.
Then along comes season two.
Much of season two spends 3/4 of each program listening to the nutjobs talk nonsense about their pseudoscientific beliefs. For example one expert in the Atlantis episode thinks the Atlantians came through Stargates. I hope he does not get sued by the producers of Stargate SG1 for copyright infringement.
This is then followed by very brief grabs of real scientists providing actual information on each topic but edited in such a way that it leaves it up to the viewer to decide.
It is sad to see a series that had been taking a sensible approach to the paranormal decline into a wishy washy politically correct stance.
