Not surprising - I have friends who live in the upstate NY area, and apparently there are a couple episodes that makes accurate references to local geography, including a town with only a few hundred people. IIRC, the one in the bus station was set somewhere near Ithaca... if anyone local wants to look that up and check it out.
That said, the airplane episode with William Shatner was by far some of the creepiest television I’ve seen - the only other TV show that I can remember coming close to that creepy was the weeping angel episode of the new Doctor Who, and maybe the ‘Hush’ episode of Buffy.
That episode always scared the bejeebers out of me when I was but a kid. The curtain scene still does. It probably accounts for some of my long held fear of flying. LOL!
