Premise

The series features the stories of paranormal encounters by ordinary people in Singapore, inspired by actual encounters submitted directly to the show by viewers, intriguing urban legends with uncertain origins, and published materials by prolific best-selling authors such as Russell Lee (best known for True Singapore Ghost Story) and Goh Sin Tub.^[1]

Each half-hour episode features a story or two on the recount of paranormal occurrences in Asia, though the episodes aired that revolve around this episode are reenactment, similar to the other horror anthologies such as Tales from the Crypt and Are You Afraid of the Dark?.

The fifth season marked the first season to air in High-definition television, using a revamped theme tune while the title logo of IT was redesigned to look more transparent from white, and the show's title, Incredible Tales were placed on the bottom left for the first time together. Additionally, filming took place in Philippines for the first time.^[3]
