I agree! There are I think a few crucial distinctions to be made. Many of the older paranormal/fringe weirdness shows had more actual content than many of the contemporary ones. Such as lengthier in-context interviews with witnesses, experts, and wannabe-experts. This told me more about the subject and let me make up my own mind about it. And, if I had the choice, I find letting an authentic kook talk more entertaining than somebody who knows better doing lots of re-enactments and graphics. The former give some understanding about folklore and psychology, while the latter should just pursue the fiction market they so desperately desire. I don't think there's any harm in discussing weird things that people believe, and asking "what if?". It's much different than claiming to present sensational answers.
