One of her episodes was A Strange Harvest, about the worldwide animal-mutilation mystery linked to extraterrestrial beings.

After the special broadcast to high ratings, it went forward into weekly TV production as the program Sightings.

The show featured everything from UFOs to ghosts to Bigfoot in an investigative news format and was hosted by reporter Tim White.

Sightings was cancelled in 1997, although five special episodes aired in 1998, and reruns continued on the Sci Fi Channel until April 2003.

The movie tells the story of a Sightings crew sent to investigate a poltergeist haunting, eventually becoming victimized by the ghost themselves.
