Looking for info on a few episodes

Back in 1991/92 when Fox was airing the show there were a few segments that I always found interesting. Most seemed to be fakes to me, but I never heard anymore about them.

#1 Was about images of these men that were appearing in film and video. they called them the travelers or the watchers or something like that. it was 3 or 4 guys usually in a row, all seen from the upper chest up. Like busts. I think they had video of them too.

#2 A series of poloroids taken of ghosts. The ghosts looked like smoke clouds with eyes and stuff. And sometimes like balls of tissue.

#3 A segment about a man who set up his video camera to tape his TV that was displaying the static from his video camera so the tape recorded its own image. Face and things showed up in the static.

Anyone know anything about these stories

I used to be an avid viewer of "Sightings" know what you're talking about when it comes to #2... That was the episode where they would talk to a ghost, asking questions, then they would take a polaroid snap shot and with his answer would be visible. Usually in the form of something that looked like hand rolled toilet paper, shaped in to block letters.

They did several shows on that... what made it so 'amazing' was the fact that he, the ghost, was answering questions concerning future events and the like. Another thing that made it 'mysterious' was the fact that he would often answer in old Latin, something no one in the house supposedly spoke.

I also remember #3 but missed a portion of the airing so I can't really help you there. I just remember seeing a little 'preview' of it before they, Sightings, went to commmercial.
