Kolchak - a tv show from the early 70s -
This is an excellent dramatization of paranormal spiritual powers interacting with the modern world as murder mysteries.... I can relate to this big time!!
The Night Stalker first aired January 11, 1972, and garnered the highest ratings of any television movie at that time (33.2 rating—54 share).[11] Matheson received a 1973 Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for Best TV Feature or Miniseries Teleplay.[citation neede

The series followed wire service reporter Carl Kolchak (Darren McGavin) who investigates mysterious crimes with unlikely causes, particularly those involving the supernatural or science fiction, including fantastic creatures. The series was preceded by the two television movies, The Night Stalker (1972) and The Night Strangler (1973). Although the series lasted only a single season, it developed cult status in syndication.[1]
Chris Carter cited Kolchak as a "tremendous influence" in creating his franchise The X-Files.[2]
