I used to watch this show at the same time as my grandma when it was on tv (we lived together, but she'd be watching it in her bedroom and i'd watch it in the living room) and after every story, i'd run up there and ask her what she thought and i would tell her what i thought. I miss that lady.
In second grade we read some scary stories for Halloween. One was really similar to the coffin one. The man saw a Hearse with a coffin and they said "There's room for one more". At the end they're in an elevator and all the people say "There's room for one more". Then the elevator falls killing everyone
"Lord Dufferin's Ghost" is the story I was most familiar with. Frederick Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, 1st Marquess of Dufferin and Ava (often referred to as Lord Dufferin because it's a mouthful otherwise) said that he was staying with some people in Ireland in 1849 when one night he happened to spot a hearse pull up and a guy get out carrying a coffin on his back. Their eyes met for a moment before the guy walked off into the darkness. The next morning Lord Dufferin was talking to the hostess of the property about what he had thought was a dream, but the lady told him that it was actually a warning and the next time he saw that same man it would be a sign of his death. Years later, after being chosen as an ambassador to France, Lord Dufferin was at the Grand Hotel in Paris getting ready to get on an elevator. However, he realized that the person working as the elevator operator was the same person he had seen all those years before with the coffin, and so he decided to not get in. The elevator malfunctioned and everyone inside died, including the elevator operator who had apparently just started working at the hotel. It's one of those urban legends that pops up a lot in one form or another, a lot like the phantom hitchhikers. In the case with Lord Dufferin, biographers did the research and found that there had only been a single person who had died from an elevator malfunction at the Grand Hotel, and it had happened YEARS before Lord Dufferin had gotten there. It seems like he had just decided to tell it as if it had personally happened to him to make it sound scarier.

It's common, at least in the past, for an older man to call a young man son. There's no meaning behind it. It's just like saying "sport" or "buddy". It's like a semi term of endearment that can be used even towards someone you don't know, to show friendliness.
it must be a southern thing or something because I was genuinely surprised when neither Jarvis nor Jordan realised that it's just a thing old men say to young men/boys as an endearing thing.

So I;m going to Galaxycon Columbus in a few days and Johnathon Frakes is supposed to be there (along with a whole bunch of other Star Trek actors) and I'm so tempted to get a picture with him and mention fact or fiction because I genuinely grew up watching that show along with Ripley's and Twilight Zone on Chiller every night it was on. But also just imagining going up to some guy who is famous for a very specific character and saying "hey I really loved this stupid show you hosted in the 90s where the writers had you say some pretty dumb stuff" would be really weird lol
Absolutely do it. I can’t remember who but an actor on Tumblr said that most actors absolutely love it when people bring up less popular shows they work on.
Aww I hope you do get to. I was supposed to go but we weren’t able to. I was going to mention it as well. My mom was a huge Star Trek fan so I grew up with that and beyond belief. ❤
The first story is literally a chapter in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, just told a little differently lol. I still expected it to be labeled as a fact because sometimes I swear, this show tries to pass urban legends as true
@@silvermagpie1071 I think the fact stories are more true than you might expect, largely because they're "based on" or "inspired by" true events, so when they declare some ghost story "fact" what they actually mean is that it's a fact someone thought they saw a ghost, which happens all the time.

I missed the ceremony, but made it for the walk to the cemetery. Thank God we already had a memorial for her in Florida before they took her body to Haiti.

Hey Jarvis, "eskimo" is a very derogatory term used to refer to Inuit and Northern Indigenous people (not certain why so many American youtubers still use the term, we were being taught not to use that label when I was a kid and I'm almost 50)
To be fair, I only found out it was a bad word after a few years on the internet, school never taught me that. I think its understandable not everyone got the memo, it's not a word that comes up a whole lot or I hear corrected much.
@@TheLugiaSong that's why when I've heard it used by youtubers with giant audiences I try to mention in their comments and let ppl know that it's not ok. :)
The indigenous people in my area aren't referred to as much. It was only once I got on the internet that I learned it was a derogatory term for Inuit and North Native people. It's messed up. As a kid, I didn't even know that the term was referring to real people. "Igloo" and snow greater than 1 inch sounded like myths. I'm just glad it's easier to get educated on the topic, and more people are learning about the Inuit and Indigenous people.
Still used in England btw. I’m Canadian and moved to England almost 5 years ago. Was shook a bit when I heard that word. I think I told the teacher that it’s generally considered a slur or slur-adjacent and she changed it.
Jarvis, I am binging every video you’ve ever created. I’ve been subscribed for a while and was a consistent viewer, but every so often I get incredibly fixated on one channel/UA-camr and watch their entire catalogue. This has been yours recently, especially this channel. So thank you it brings me comfort
Speaking of the Twilight Zone: There is a Twilight Zone episode that is very much like the first story in this show. I think they are both based off the same source material. I think the writers get inspiration from old tales like that when they are coming up with the fake stories.
I am absolutely baffled by the fact that Skip Schoolnik is a REAL actual human being. He's worked on 18 other films and shows, such as 2010 The Walking Dead and the 1999-2004 series Angel.
"He was a military man ya know?... He was in Star Trek..." *Silence* Best joke I've heard in years Edit: Apparently he actually said Star Fleet and not Star Trek - I am sorry Jordan my transcriptions have failed you 🥲 (i think it’s funny either way tho)
I like to think that Frakes had the black cat simply cause he requested to hold a cat for one of the stories. It would only make sense cause he’s a very wholesome guy.
Wow I cannot believe Jarvis and Jordan are unaware of the Thrilling Adventure Hour podcast's Beyond Belief featuring Paul F Tompkins and Paget Brewster as those married mediums Frank and Sadie Doyle!!
This is so similar to one of the stories in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. I believe its called "Room For One More" Its pretty much about some guy who is on a trip with his friends, and one night he wakes up as sees a man driving a hearse. The man in the hears says 'there is room for one more...' but after moment with no reply he leaves. Later, the man and his friends are waiting for an elevator, but inside is the driver of the hearse. He again says 'there is room for one more...' but the man declines. While waiting for the next elevator, the one the hearse driver was in falls and everyone inside dies. I don't know if this is a coincidence, this episode could be based off this story. The story in the book, by the way, also is not fact! It is based off a common anxiety for people (in certain parts of the world.) Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is obviously a horror book, and it is all fiction,
I hope I catch one of these live. One of my favorite memories as a little kid is watching this on Friday nights with my mom, and calling in to vote on what was fiction. You guys watching it live feels a little like watching it live when it came out!
Brunch has had a massive revival over the last 10-15 years, I assume because it’s a socially acceptable way to drink before noon. When I was a kid in the 90s it was a very WASP-y thing, something we did with my grandparents or when my aunt was in town. We’d get dressed up and go to some fancy restaurant. I loved it at that age because it meant I could have shrimp and Black Forest cake for breakfast (not together, mind you, but those kinds of places always had some kind of shrimp on the buffet and a massive dessert spread).
that old grandma in the end had to be the same actress in “rossini’s ghost” which was a vhs we had at my elementary school about some opera composer these old ladies were in love with and the granddaughter goes back in time to help this composer write an opera
Jordan I'm gonna have to ask you to pay me because I was already joking to myself that the guy was Winston Churchill before you said anything and while yes technically you saw this before I did I made the connection sooner therefore it was my joke and you owe me.

To be fair, I only found out it was a bad word after a few years on the internet, school never taught me that. I think its understandable not everyone got the memo, it's not a word that comes up a whole lot or I hear corrected much.
@@TheLugiaSong that's why when I've heard it used by youtubers with giant audiences I try to mention in their comments and let ppl know that it's not ok. :)
The indigenous people in my area aren't referred to as much. It was only once I got on the internet that I learned it was a derogatory term for Inuit and North Native people. It's messed up. As a kid, I didn't even know that the term was referring to real people. "Igloo" and snow greater than 1 inch sounded like myths. I'm just glad it's easier to get educated on the topic, and more people are learning about the Inuit and Indigenous people.
Then there's my country who literally named an ice cream brand after the term smh
Still used in England btw. I’m Canadian and moved to England almost 5 years ago. Was shook a bit when I heard that word. I think I told the teacher that it’s generally considered a slur or slur-adjacent and she changed it.

This show straight up responsibe for every singl supernatural fear i had as a child. I was scared of EVRYTHING once it got dark.
Jordan is so joyful here :)
Jarvis, I am binging every video you’ve ever created. I’ve been subscribed for a while and was a consistent viewer, but every so often I get incredibly fixated on one channel/UA-camr and watch their entire catalogue. This has been yours recently, especially this channel. So thank you it brings me comfort
Speaking of the Twilight Zone: There is a Twilight Zone episode that is very much like the first story in this show. I think they are both based off the same source material. I think the writers get inspiration from old tales like that when they are coming up with the fake stories.
I am absolutely baffled by the fact that Skip Schoolnik is a REAL actual human being. He's worked on 18 other films and shows, such as 2010 The Walking Dead and the 1999-2004 series Angel.
"He was a military man ya know?... He was in Star Trek..." *Silence*
Best joke I've heard in years
Edit: Apparently he actually said Star Fleet and not Star Trek - I am sorry Jordan my transcriptions have failed you 🥲 (i think it’s funny either way tho)
Funny bc you misheard it in a way that removes the punchline
@@hannah4669 what did he say then? i cant quite make out what he’s saying there, the youtube captions are wrong 😔
@@sera.tonin. He said he was in Star Fleet, not Star Trek. 😉
Jordan's 'he was a millitary man, he was in starfleet' was so fucking good lmao
I like to think that Frakes had the black cat simply cause he requested to hold a cat for one of the stories. It would only make sense cause he’s a very wholesome guy.
Wow I cannot believe Jarvis and Jordan are unaware of the Thrilling Adventure Hour podcast's Beyond Belief featuring Paul F Tompkins and Paget Brewster as those married mediums Frank and Sadie Doyle!!
“I’ve got a confession to make: I’m your fool.”
5:54 jsyk jarvis thats the e-slur (if u didn't know already)
This was my 1st time paying attention to the intro. "...every explanation is unexplainable." That explains a lot 😂
yesss i have yet to learn twitch but i live for the fact or fiction youtube uploads. this show is the best thing ever i think
This is so similar to one of the stories in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. I believe its called "Room For One More"
Its pretty much about some guy who is on a trip with his friends, and one night he wakes up as sees a man driving a hearse. The man in the hears says 'there is room for one more...' but after moment with no reply he leaves. Later, the man and his friends are waiting for an elevator, but inside is the driver of the hearse. He again says 'there is room for one more...' but the man declines. While waiting for the next elevator, the one the hearse driver was in falls and everyone inside dies. I don't know if this is a coincidence, this episode could be based off this story. The story in the book, by the way, also is not fact! It is based off a common anxiety for people (in certain parts of the world.) Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is obviously a horror book, and it is all fiction,
there needs to be a fact or fiction on if the supervising editor was really named "skip schoolnik"
watching this back and "He's a military man" is SO fucking funny pls
I hope I catch one of these live. One of my favorite memories as a little kid is watching this on Friday nights with my mom, and calling in to vote on what was fiction. You guys watching it live feels a little like watching it live when it came out!
Oh shit, another one came out??? I love getting high and watching the Fact or Fiction streams, I've got my weekend set lmfao
when your love life is so bad a ghost had to be your wingman
I love these fact or fiction streams so much! Literally holding off on watching ahead of you so I can keep going in blind!
Jarvis, I love you (parasocially), PLEASE GET SOMEONE TO DO CAPTIONS
I would do it, but I’m unsure of how. Do you know how?
@@stuffedbrains I think you can only do it to your own videos.
@@squish5299 damn :(
If they said "where illusions are disguised as substance" that would make a lot more sense
if a black cat ran out in front of me i'd be more excited than scared tbh
27:42 it's moments like these I treasure. thanks for posting this here for the youtooberz
This is like twilight zone, except with more drugs and no point
what if there was a bunch more jewelry hidden in ALL those things her kids threw in the trash.
Kyle Jarvis really goes to "University School of Medicine" lmao
jordan is so goofy, i love it here
“Until I met Te-“ GHOST. GHOST. GHOSTED UP. GHOST, SIR. GHOOOOST 😂
ok Ben Shapiro was just pre-med and they're acting like he was doing his residency lol.
she jerrying on my springer
She judging my judy
my jaw hit the floor when jordan made predition that they were going to be siblings. either jarvis and jordan are too high, or i am.
Just so you know the term “esk*mo” is widely considered an offensive term against Inuit people
There's no need to censor it, especially when other people have already explained this
I remember spending hours in the playground perfecting my slam dunks. Good times in elementary school
7:17 absolutely love that you can hear the cat purring in his mic for a second
Jarvis missed his opportunity to say “no relation” abt Kyle Jarvis 😭 thats one of my fave running jokes of his
shout out to the guy that sees a ghost casket open and thinks yeah, i'll walk up to that and see a corpse
Brunch has had a massive revival over the last 10-15 years, I assume because it’s a socially acceptable way to drink before noon. When I was a kid in the 90s it was a very WASP-y thing, something we did with my grandparents or when my aunt was in town. We’d get dressed up and go to some fancy restaurant. I loved it at that age because it meant I could have shrimp and Black Forest cake for breakfast (not together, mind you, but those kinds of places always had some kind of shrimp on the buffet and a massive dessert spread).
that old grandma in the end had to be the same actress in “rossini’s ghost” which was a vhs we had at my elementary school about some opera composer these old ladies were in love with and the granddaughter goes back in time to help this composer write an opera
I remember that film!
i remember that one! one of many we had to watch whenever we had a sub in band
Fact or Fiction intro goes hard on another level
Jordan I'm gonna have to ask you to pay me because I was already joking to myself that the guy was Winston Churchill before you said anything and while yes technically you saw this before I did I made the connection sooner therefore it was my joke and you owe me.
Also absolutely here for MST3K style videos from you two, this is incredible.
I love watching Jarvis vods, they are relaxing and funny!
Jordan's initial response to "Kyle Jarvis" was great
My first time watching Fact&Fiction and it’s nice to have all these explanations for what the heck I’m watching 😂😂
I cannot explain how excited I just got when I saw this upload
"He's learning" lmaoo, Jordan is getting it
There's no rule against a ghost playing basketball
