If an episode revolves around a haunting (or alien visitation) (or lake monster sighting) (or whatever) that turns out to be a hoax, the episode will end with a shot of a ''real'' ghost/alien visitor/lake monster/whatever.
A variation is for the episode to end with the investigators remarking on one detail of the hoax they found particularly impressive, only for the hoaxer to say, "But... that wasn't me." Or, in haunting cases, for the investigators to remark how helpful Bob was, only for one of the locals to say, "Bob? But he's been dead for five years." [[Gave Up Too Soon|Sometimes, the characters won't be around to see it]], especially if a real sighting would bring an end to a long-running mystery. Many times, a [[Scooby-Doo Hoax]] about a lake monster will end with the real one coming out of the water to watch the heroes leave.
A niche variant: Christmas episodes of children's series often feature the adults setting up the various elements of the [[Santa Claus]] pretense, and then end with a shot of the real Santa flying away in his sleigh (often while the children open wonderful presents that none of the adults can remember buying). If the budget doesn't allow for it, they may just play a sound of jingling bells as a hearty "HO HO HO!" echoes in the distance.
Tends to happen in series where hauntings (or alien visitations) (or whatever) are not only uncommon, but usually unconsidered, like [[Sitcom
A variant of [[Skepticism Failure]]. Compare [[Or Was It a Dream?]]. Sometimes a case of [[And You Thought It Was a Game]]. Occasionally, the characters ''do'' see the creature, but it's [[Mistaken for An Imposter]]. Often occurs at the end of a [[Cryptid Episode]].

* Not really from "outer space" per se, but ''[[Labyrinth]]'' has Sarah returning from Jareth's castle and reappearing in her own room, and finding everything just as she left it before she wished for Toby to be taken
** I don't have a copy of the movie to look back over, but I've heard that several of those are visible before she travels there too, implying that the entire journey might have been a dream/hallucination/foretold epic.
*** Some of them appeared as toys in her room, but not as characters as seen in the Labyrinth, so this doesn't discount the madness hypothesis.

* In the ''[[Baywatch]]'' episode [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5Mv1-ki_wc Strangers among us], a group of half-crazy UFO believers cause problems for the lifeguards as they misinterpret water phenomena on the beach as signs of aliens and almost drown and so on. They are led by the more sensible Dr. Faye Taylor, who has a more scientific view on UFO's. All seems to be normal until the very last minutes of the episode, where she disappears without a trace during something resembling a strange weather phenomenon.
* Of all things, British medical soap/drama ''[[Casualty]]'' pulls this one once. In one episode Tom Baker plays a patient who claims he's an alien; the nurse treating him believes he's delusional until a power cut knocks out the lights and he's shocked at the sight of the patient's glowing green eyes.
* ''[[Eerie, Indiana]]'', "Marshall's Theory of Believability."
* ''[[MacGyver]]'', "The Visitor": after Mac exposed a couple of con artists claiming to be aliens from exploiting a cancer patient and her husband, the oddball vacuum cleaner salesman that helped him suddenly disappears. He and the sheriff then see a UFO taking off...
* ''[[Matt Houston]]'' had the titular detective abducted by real aliens in an episode where he's investigating a (fake) claim of abduction covering up a murder. Of course, he doesn't remember, no one else sees it, and the abduction has no relevance to the rest of the plot at all.
* ''[[The Munsters]]'', "If It's a Martian, Hang Up". The alien costume they used at the end was originally seen in ''[[The Outer Limits]]''.
* In the ''[[Twilight Zone]]'' episode "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street," a town goes into a panic when they come to believe that aliens have landed nearby and that someone on their street might be helping them. {{spoiler|It turns out to be mass hysteria-- induced by the actual aliens, who want to turn the humans against each other by having them chase ''imaginary'' aliens.}} [[Magnificent Bastard|Tricky]].

* One episode of ''[[The Hardy Boys Nancy Drew Mysteries]]'' involved some incidents which seemed like a UFO encounter in a [[Town with a Dark Secret]]. In particular, the Hardys' car engine cuts out unexpectedly, and then a weird light comes close, and the car is shaking. It turns out the town's secret is that it's part of a [[Witness Protection]] processing center; the mysterious light was a helicopter coming in for a landing, and the shaking was due to the rotor pushing air at them. No explanation for the engine failure, though ... and when Joe jokes that perhaps the townspeople [[The Masquerade|really '''are''' aliens with a clever cover story]], their reaction isn't to laugh, but to stare at him in a rather creepy thoughtful way....

* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]: Fumoffu'', "The Patient Of Darkness" - Subverted when it turns out that the last "ghost" really was a living person the hoaxers just didn't know about.
** In the manga, there's a [[Beach Episode]] where the beach is allegedly haunted by soldiers who trained in that area, but committed suicide when they didn't make it to the war zone before the fighting ended. It turns out there's a mundane explanation for the mysterious lights ... but how did those [[Spooky Photographs|indistinct figures in uniform show up in some of the high-schoolers' group photos]]?

* A first-season ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' episode concerned a hoax haunting. The spirit of a young bride-to-be [[I Will Wait for You|who died waiting for her deceased fiancee's return]] supposedly caused trouble for the protagonists, until the troubles were revealed to be caused by the spirit-like Pokemon Gastly. However, after the protagonists leave, Gastly is then shown to be a friend of the 'real' ghostly maiden.▼

* In what's probably the only appearance of the occult in the [[James Bond]] series, a voodoo henchman from ''Live and Let Die'' appears, laughing, ''riding the front of the train Bond is aboard'', even though he supposedly died when he fell into a coffin full of snakes earlier in the film.
* ''Lake of the Dead'': This Norwegian thriller revolves around a group of friends trying to solve an ancient mystery that involves an immortal crow leaving its feathers as calling cards. In the end a natural explanation has been found, but there is some disagreement about its feasibility. The protagonist insists that the solution is acceptable and nothing supernatural is involved, and to punctuate his words he picks up something from the table and waves it around...

It turns out that her ghost really '''is''' haunting the place, apparently seeking revenge for her own murder.

* William Hope Hodgson's "[[Carnacki, the Ghost-Finder]]" is an [[Occult Detective]] whose stories sometimes feature real supernatural events and sometimes hoaxes. In the story [http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Horse_of_the_Invisible "The Horse of the Invisible"] a murderous ghost turns out to be a hoax by a human would-be killer. Until... {{spoiler|''"It's not me! My God! It's not me! My God! It's not me."''}}
* In ''Expiration Date'' by [[Tim Powers]], a psychiatrist decided to emulate a seance as part of a group therapy session; all hell broke loose, and she lost her license. She spends most of the novel discovering that ghosts are real and she had inadvertently called up a few. The main protagonist colorfully compares her actions to an anthropologist re-enacting the quaint tribal ritual of loading a "bullet" into a "gun" and pulling the "trigger".
* A book based on ''[[The Man from U.N.C.L.E.]]'', set in Romania, involved an apparent return of Dracula. It was staged by a THRUSH agent. Except ... '''some''' of his [[Mook]]s were taken down by someone '''else''', and at the end, Solo and Kuryakin found a message which thanked them for defeating the villains who'd disturbed the message-writer's "peace."
* One of Leslie Charteris' short stories featuring [[The Saint]] involves a villain faking attacks by the Loch Ness Monster. The villain is then eaten by the Loch Ness Monster. Really.▼
* A short story based on ''[[A Christmas Carol]]'' "revealed" that the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future were actors hired by Scrooge's nephew. His intent was that, with the aid of some hallucinogenic drug slipped into the old man's food and a lot of research into his background, Ebenezer would be [[Driven to Madness]]. But the conniving nephew didn't think to hire anyone to play the ghost of '''Marley'''. And Marley '''warning''' Scrooge that the ghosts would come is what made that night a [[Heel Face Turn]] rather than a collapse of sanity. "'You were always a good friend to me,' said Scrooge."

* ''[[The Hardy Boys Nancy Drew Mysteries]]'':
** "Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Meet Dracula": In the episode, the Hardy Boys suspect a man of being Dracula, but this is apparently dis-proven. At the end, the villain is in handcuffs and standing in front of a mirror, and Joe Hardy notices that the villain has no reflection, while the other characters conveniently not look at the mirror. The villain is taken away by the cops before Joe can get anyone else to notice.

* An episode of ''[[Jonas]]'' revolved around the ghost of a volunteer fire fight who swore he would return from the grave so that he could once again "volunteerily [sic] fight fires." He also loved chili and plaid socks. After the episode, we see Joe sitting in a chair narrating, like Kevin had been doing for most of the episode. The two start arguing about which has a better evil laugh, when they suddenly hear another evil laugh, and run. Turns out it was Nick, who was using a voice changer. He tells us there's no such thing as ghost, winks at us then leaves....and we hear the laugh again, and see a nearby bowl of chili get emptied after a voice says "oh, chili".

* In one episode of ''[[Midsomer Murders]]'', the villains organize a series of 'ghostly' appearances in order to try and drive their victim insane. Right at the end, after the hoax is revealed and all the characters have left the room, we see an empty rocking chair creaking back and forth...

The medium claims to DCI Jardine that he is receiving messages for him from the late Jim Taggart and backs this claim up with a number of facts only someone who knew Taggart could know. Later on Jardine discovers that Taggart actually investigated a crime involving the medium. When confronted with this, the medium agrees but says that in fact he never met Taggart himself.
* In ''[[Veronica Mars]]'' it is clear that our titular heroine's [[Dead Person Conversation|dreams and conversations with her dead friend Lilly]] are happening in her head, and after Lilly's murder is solved they stop. However the second season episode 'Normal is the Watchword' has Lilly briefly appear and save Veronica's life by distracting her at a key

* At the end of the "Big Haunted Battleship" storyline of ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'', it's pointed out by several characters that the "[[Straw Vulcan|rational]]" explanation of the ghostly voices on the PDCL is so contrived that it's [[Flat Earth Atheist|more rational just to accept it was haunted]]. This isn't a throwaway gag, either; Petey's [[Logic Bomb|inability either to accept or to deny]] the existence of ghosts is responsible for both his introduction and {{spoiler|the PDCL's eventual destruction}}.
* An ''[[Eerie Cuties]]'' story starts with [[Alpha Bitch| Melissa]] putting two students through a hazing ritual, telling them they have to go into a storeroom and look into a mirror for five minutes straight - this is far more terrifying than it seems, as the students have been told there’s a cursed mirror in the school that is the home of a demon, who will trap your soul within the mirror and then steal your body. However, the only “demon” they see when they look into it is Nina (or rather her reflection, as Nina came into the room to get glitter for art class). While that makes them freak, it is confirmed the mirror is just a regular mirror - and then Nina asks if they’re looking for ''that'' mirror (indicating another one, with a frame that has an evil-looking gargoyle) and ''then'' the fun starts…

** The other "ghost story" episodes "Weezing Ed" and "Ghost Bride" had this as the ending, too. In "Weezing Ed", the counterfeiters pretend the island was haunted are captured... and then we hear the laughing/coughing that the dead gangster Weezing Ed was supposed to have. In "Ghost Bride", the kids try to scare each other by pretending to be the Ghost Bride, but after the main group leaves the last hoaxer in the graveyard and goes home, the real ghost shows up and isn't very happy...
* ''[[Jem]]'', "Mardi Gras": Jem and the group are invited to stay at a haunted hotel where there are strange things happening. People assume it's the ghost of pirate that loved Lily Rose. Jem is able to use a hologram of him to scare a boy band hired by the Misfits to screw up Jem's group. It turns out the stolen stuff was stolen by a descendant of the pirate's pet, a monkey named Francis. At the end, as the ghost of the pirate and Lily Rose appears.

▲* ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' itself has done this on occasion. After the gang reveals the main ghost of the episode as a hoax, some minor, benign supernatural event occurs during the denouement.
** Two animated movies from the late 1990's take this a step further. The Scooby gang believes that everything going on so far is a hoax, and they eventually prove it. At which point ''the real thing'' shows up, almost without warning, to drive the climax. In one case, the gang ends up needing to save the real aliens (who had been tagging along with the gang for most of the movie disguised as unremarkable characters) from the humans who had been pretending to be aliens !
** In ''Scooby Doo on Zombie Island'', when faced with real supernatural events Freddy even goes into a state of denial, frantically trying to pull the zombie mask off of a very real zombie, until [[Nightmare Fuel|the whole head comes off]], at which point he tries to [[Flat Earth Atheist|argue that it was animatronic]].

At the arc's very end however, a huge shadow watches the crew leave and the narration reveals that something has been destroying ships ''long'' before Gecko Moria ever set up shop.

The burglar hands himself over to the police ... and passes on to Peter Parker a note saying, "Call your aunt!"
