From Scooby Doo to Doctor Who, there's nothing better than a good mystery.
Throw in a werewolf, a strange, unidentified beast or an energetic force that no one can see but everyone can feel, and you've got a story so good that not even a bus load of teenagers and a talking dog can mess it up.
Often the tale itself is remarkable, unbelievable even. But its the small glimmer of truth that sits behind the tale, or the insight offered into the human psyche that makes these stories so fascinating!
