Fridge / Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction

• Many stories include details that could only be known by the person involved and are thus impossible for us to have knowledge of if he or she dies or disappears as a result of the events of the story. Similarly, if there are details that are revealed to the audience but never to any character, how did the show's writers know about them? Fridge Brilliance if the story is revealed to be fictional, Fridge Logic if it's purportedly true. One example where a story like that turned out to be true had a woman who was hit by a car see her dead aunt as she's lying there, dying. There was no indication in the segment that she said to any bystanders, "Oh my gosh, as I am dying I am seeing the ghost of my dead aunt and here is what she's saying to me!" Because of the instances of Falsely Advertised Accuracy on this show and statements that certain facts are changed to protect the real people involved, one must take their claims of factuality with a grain of salt.
