SAVANNAH, Ga. -- The Syfy TV channel wants to shoot an epsiode in a Savannah cemetery, but city officials won't approve the idea.

Producers want to film an episode of "Fact or Faked," which would examine a tourist's 2008 claim that he filmed a ghostly image of a boy running through the cemetery.

Acting City Manager Rochelle Small-Toney and Jerry Flemming, director of cemeteries, say they're following a policy that forbids the use of cemeteries for entertainment purposes.

Michael Shortt, a local producer and casting director involved in the TV project, says the proposed shoot would generate up to $30,000 a day. He says the rejection also could jeopardize future film projects in Savannah.
