Reply to comment by ARNB19 in TIL the BBC ran a paranormal investigation show called Ghostwatch on Halloween in 1992. The fictional program was filmed to appear as real as possible, using a BBC broadcaster as the host. It only aired once due to the uproar of a frightened public. by kevlarbuns

I had this happen to me when I was in grade school. It was some movie that was meant to look like news about ww3, and it looked like cnn talking about a nuke going off in the Mediterranean. I had to get my dad, he pointed out it was fake.

With the world events at the time it was fairly plausible
