CBS Radio Mystery Theater was a noteworthy attempt to revive in American radio dramas like Inner Sanctum (1941-1952) and Suspense (1942-1962). Radio dramas were widely considered "dead" 12 years prior to this series. CBS Radio Mystery Theater, or simply Mystery Theater, was created by Inner Sanctum creator Himan Brown and ran on CBS from 1974-1982. The show, much like older radio dramas, was introduced by a host (E.G. Marshall in this program), who steers us through the creaking door to start the episode. Many voices from the golden age of radio were featured, including Richard Widmark, Bret Morrison, Agnes Moorehead and many more.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents, come in Welcome. I'm e. G. Marshall.
(00:26):
Two thousand years before christ On Tef, the Egyptian king
of the Eleventh Dynasty, had this inscribed upon his tomb.
There is none who comes back from the dead that
he may tell their state, that he may tell their needs.
It is not given to man to take his property
with him, Nor is there one who departs whoever comes
(00:48):
back again. Today, almost four thousand years later, we have
reason to believe this is not so. People do come back.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
From the dead. Rebecca, what does the ghost look like?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
He's about six feet tall, has a beard, green pants
olive green, and he holds in his hand a long knife.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
How old would you say?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
He is about thirty?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Anything peculiar about his clothing.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Ah, I'd say they were well what people wore in
the forties.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
My dad had pleated pants like his.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
So it's possible your ghosts passed over thirty years ago,
passed over, died. You see, spirits never grow older. They
remain exactly the age they were when they left this
world and entered theirs. Now.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
A mystery drama, The Ghost with a Knife, based on
a psychic case history reported by Bryce Bond was dramatized
especially for the Mystery Theater by James Aggatt Junior and
stars Arnold Moss and Patricia Elliott. It is sponsored in
part by Buick Motor Division and contact the twelve Hour
(02:09):
Cold Capsule.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I'll be back shortly with At.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
One, you sit around talking with friends and someone asks
do you believe in ghosts? For the most part, the
non believers are those to whom extrasensory experiences have never happened.
(02:34):
But there are very many in this world to whom
the spirits of another world are very real and active
and cry to be heard. One of those who hears
them and deals with them is Bryce Bond, a well
known psychic scientist and investigator of the supernatural and super normal.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Let me get out of cases one in particular. About
a week before December sixteenth, nineteen seventy four, I received
a call from the president of the Foundation of the
Parasensory Investigation, who told me that a policeman from Minneola,
Long Island called to say that a mister and Missus Green,
a young couple he knew, asked him to come over
(03:22):
to their house and investigate a ghost. I set up
a date with a couple and asked David Anders, a medium,
a psychic and also a photographer, to come along with me.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Oh, come in.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
You are air Bryce Bonnes and this is David As.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
How do you do?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
You can leave here over coach here, I'll hang on
to my camera if you don't mind.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
You're going to take pictures of our ghost, Miss Changes,
if I can. I didn't know one could. Oh, this
is my husband.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
How do you do?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Boy, Tommy is upstairs, he's asleep. I hope and.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
See you've got a camera. I've always thought those pictures
of spooks and ghosts, what fakes? You know, the superimposed chots,
that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Have you seen this ghost, mister Green?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
And I'll certainly have?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Well, then perhaps soaking my camera. I use infra red film,
wherever heat is generated in outline or even in considerable detail,
it will.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Register on the film.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
May we start, mister Green, missus Green, I'll begin by
asking you your first names Rebecca Rebecca, and your husband
is Leo and your boy is Tommy Tommy. Well, I'm
Bryce and this is David. If we're to help you,
we should all try to be as relaxed and informal
and friendly as we can. Now this, sir, this apparition
(04:52):
you experience, we want you to regard him.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Or her as a man.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Well, he's to be regarded as a friend. We don't
want to antagonize or frighten them.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
We're the ones who are being frightened. He isn't really
a very friendly spirity.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Looks horrible. Rebecca, can you tell us when you first
saw him?
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Yes, when I first it all started.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
May I. My wife is really very upset about this, Missie.
She's home most of the time I'm at work, so
she's been under a much greater strain. I think I
can be calmer.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
There. Those are the footsteps.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
We've sort of become used to our ghost walking up
from the cellar. He's been doing that for months.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Now, Leo, I can tell them. Tommy was the first
to see the ghost. But tell me my son. He
came down one morning.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
He's only four, and he said, Mommy, who's that man
in my room? He said, I woke up in the
middle of the night and he was standing there.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
We didn't know what to make of it at first,
I said to Becky, and I think Tommy's having a nightmare,
but it gets happening night after night.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
That's him coming up the cellar stairs.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Then he opens the cellar door. He's doing it now
in the.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Kitchen, or maybe he's showing off because you've got guests.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
No, he does that every evening, but most of the
time you don't see him. He doesn't what do you
call it materialized? Ye, he doesn't. He just walks around invisible.
And I don't like the idea of leaving my wife
and son in a house with a strange guy.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
He's six foot tall.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Will you excuse me, I'd like to go into the
kitchen and have a look down those cellar stairs.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I'll be right back. So he goes up and down
the cellar.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Stairs that's right through the cellar into the boiler room.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Always follows a pattern.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I think he's trying to attract our attention to something.
We get the feeling he wants us to follow him.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Down there, and do you follow him?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yes, we have many times, but there isn't anything special
down there, so it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Cellar door was open, went down a couple of steps,
but I couldn't see a thing. Took some shots but.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I don't have much hope. There's nothing down there but
the usual people have in their basements. And the oil burner,
actually two oil burners. We put in a new one
last spring and just left the old, useless or rusty
one where it was.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
They are, how old? Long have you lived here? Since?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Right after last Christmas? Almost a year?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
It was December twenty ninth last year.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
The house was built in nineteen twenty nine, so the
old oil burner didn't owe us anything anyway.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
All this started this past October. For weeks we only
heard noises, and then, as I told you, Tommy started
to see the.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Ghost in his room at night.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
And about a month ago November, so did we.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Well, sorry, we didn't know about this manifestation.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Sooner saw am I, but Becky and I we didn't
know what to do. You know, people, kid, you remember
Joe Forster, our friendly patrolman.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
What made you decide to tell a police?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It's one thing just to hear noises, It's another thing
to see a man six feet tall. But last Monday
I was alone here with Tommy and he came at
us with the knife.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I've done many years of investigative work into the parasentury.
But this was the first time I had heard of
a supernatural entity holding a knife. I David Greens a
complete rundown of who David and I were, the extent
of the work of the Foundation, and said that we
were quite prepared to help them immediately.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
You mean, right now, this evening.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
As much as we can, agreed, I should say so. Oh, yes, Rebecca,
let's start by going upstairs to Tommy's room. That's where
he first saw the apparition.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Yes, but I wouldn't like to wake him.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
It's not necessary. And Leo, when you take David down
on the cellars so that he can have a look around,
it's from the cellar the ghost always comes.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
We think he must live down there, just up these stairs,
mister Bryce. Nice here at the landing. That's our bedroom,
Leo's and mine on the right, and Tommy's is.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
On the left.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Only Tommy has seen him inside his room. I first
saw him here outside Tommy's door, standing right where you're standing.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
What does he look like.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
He's about six feet tall, has a beard, dark hair,
a maroon colored shirt, green.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Pants, olive green. And then now he carries this big
knife Rebecca.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
How old would you say? The ghost is not old?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
About thirty?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Is there anything peculiar about his clothing?
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Peculiar you mean like bloodstains?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
No? No, no, no, I mean is it modern or
is it old fashioned?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Sort of modern, but not really what you were wearing today.
It's sort of like what people were wearing twenty thirty
years ago.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I see. So it's possible the ghost passed over in
the nineteen forties, passed over died.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Oh do they appear to us in the same clothes
they wore when they died?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Of course, the same clothes and the same age. Spirits
never grow older as we do. They remain exactly the
age they were when they left this world and entered theirs. Well,
can we take a peek into Tommy's bedroom?
Speaker 4 (10:39):
I'll open the door there quietly. I don't want to
wake him.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Now. Where was the ghost standing when Tommy saw him?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Mostly at the foot of his dead most of the
times right by that window.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Oh, and that's another thing.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Wait a second, I want to show you something I.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Don't know if this. Would you take a look at
this plant?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh? What is it? Or should I say? What was it?
African violence could use a little water.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
That's just the point.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
This morning, this plant was healthy and alive. I got
it to the store. It's at least a tenth of well.
I don't know how many plants are all times we've
put in Tommy's room, and he loves growing things.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
We watch them, water them, but they all die overnight.
They shrivel up. Have you seen enough?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yes? I have. How does Tommy react to the ghost too?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Well, you know, he's very little still, he isn't scared,
but he's only four.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
That's off for young to understand fear.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I'll tell you something I've noticed, Bryce, Whenever I go
into Tommy's room, I feel good there.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Can you explain that a little better?
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Well, in the.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Rest of the house, I I feel uneasy, almost like alarmed,
But in Tommy's bedroom it's really more peaceful. I had
a funny idea that maybe the ghost is protecting my baby,
and that's why it feels good in there.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Oh, there you are.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Well, we explored the seller, and how's everything upstairs?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Bryce?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
It's very interesting, David. As I said before, this ghost
follows a passion, no question about that. You saw nothing
in the basement, nothing visible.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
But I think Bryce, we should consider that the old
oil burner may have something to do with the ghost that.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Had occurred to me too, David.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
But what a number of possibilities, Leo. Somebody may be
buried under the concrete in our cellar, buried.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
How horrible.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
There's no point speculating how this wandering spirit died. Our
job is to try to discover why he's here. Yep,
I find a warman here. It would give us a
better working atmosphere if you could please lower the heat,
just just turn it down a couple of degrees.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Oh, Leo, we forgot to tell him.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
As we did. You see, Bryce, he turns up the heat.
He you mean, yes, we forgot to tell you about that.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
We're no different from anybody else. We've been trying to
conserve heat.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Every night.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
We pushed the thermostat down to about sixty sixty five.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Either of you turned the thermost dot down tonight, Yes,
I did.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
I remember distinctly doing it. But just before you two arrived.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Come have a look at the thermostead.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Ninety Look at third.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Let me get a shot, yep, ninety degrees. That's what
he usually pushes it up to. You know, we've gotten
up in the middle of the night, roasting come down
ninety degrees. We haven't been able to figure out what
he's trying to.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Do to us. Leo. Moved to one side, please so
I can focus. Yes. Sorry. At least now we know
he's come up from the cellar and was right here
at this spot this heat. Before what I I heard
him walking back down the cellar stairs. I was afraid
he'd left us. When strangers enter a house, generally, his
spirit will not manifest itself unless you make a real
effort to be friendly.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Bryce, Can I say something I mean about the way
I feel well? By all means I have a funny No,
it's not funny. It's really a very strange sense of dread.
I never felt it quite so strong.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
What is it you feel?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Don't you feel anything?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I mean that cold wave of air. Sure, I feel it.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
I'll just cover the whole room see if anything registers
on the infrared.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Oh, we haven't done something awful.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Have we?
Speaker 4 (14:39):
I mean by asking you here?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
It's very cold right in front of me, like someone
looking right into my face.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I don't think I can sell it much longer.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Leo, we must all be calm and except the fact
that at this very moment, our mysterious friend is in
this room and he's moving about. Rebecca and Leo Greene
are real people. This event really.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Occurred in their Tudor style home on Locust Avenue, Minneola,
Long Island, on the sixteenth of December nineteen seventy four.
Bryce Bond and David Enters our witness to this fact.
I'll return shortly with that too. The lives of a
(15:37):
young suburban couple and their two year old son are
suddenly turned topsy turvy when their home is invaded by
an apparition who appears to live in their cellar and
wanders about their house day and night. To live in
a house with a spectral stranger is unnerving enough, but
when the ghost carries a long, dangerous look looking knife,
(16:01):
it can be terrifying. Why is he here? Can he
be made to leave? Bryce Bond, the parasensory scientist, picks
up the account.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
We sat in the greens living room, aware of the
rustle of cold air moving around us. The vibrations I
picked up made it quite clear that the ghost was
in that room at that very moment.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Will you folks excuse me a moment I'm going to
have to reload my camera, and I've got my film
in my coat.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I'd like to turn the lights down a little more.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Must we suppose I just turned out the overhead lights
and theyve this one next to the sofa. What about
the candles on the mantelpiece.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Oh no, no, be those burning. That's that's all right.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I'm almost afraid to look at the candles. I know
that when the flames move, he's.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
There, Rebecca. What was the last time you actually saw him?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Last night?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
He had a good close look at him. How far
away was he?
Speaker 4 (17:01):
He was standing right there by the mantelpiece. Lee had
gone to bed. I was emptying the ashtrays over here.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Now, when you saw the apparition last night, did he
appear just as physical as I do now? Or did
you see through him?
Speaker 4 (17:17):
He was as clear as you are. In fact, it's crazy,
but I'd rather really see him than have him be invisible.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
When he went, he didn't fade away, or did he
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I went into the kitchen with the ashtray and dumped
it in the garbage, and when I came back into
the living room he was gone.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Did he have a knife in his hands last night, Rebecca.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
I don't know. It's just getting too much.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
I told you, Leo, we've got to move. I don't
want to stand this house any longer.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I don't, honey. Come on, let's know what it's all.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I think.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
If you can hold on to yourselves for a little
bit longer, we may be able to get the ghost
to move.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
There's another side of this. It may not all be
as he be as you think. A lot of apparitions
loved to play tricks.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
In the fall, we were having trouble with the new
oil burner, and I was on the phone with the
oil burner man, and he said, would I go down
and look at some gage or something. I went down
the cellar steps and I fell.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
It was as exactly as if somebody had tripped me.
And then it happened again another time.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Well, that's funny.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
I didn't notice any loose steps when I was down
there earlier.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Did you, Leo, I haven't been down to the cell
at night.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Well, sure you have. You brought me down.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I took some pictures tonight.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Of course, you're kidding me.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I absolutely don't remember.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Has this happened before in this house? Somebody's actually gone
out of the basement and not remembered.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Leo, I went upstairs to Tommy's room with Bryce, and
you took David into the cellar.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I did you don't remember?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
No, I don't not go down to the cellar to night.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Oh good Lord.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Rebecca and Leo were working themselves up into quite a state,
getting increasingly agitated. I knew the vibrations they were creating
were negative and would make it almost impossible to communicate
with a haunting spirit.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I don't know if it's your imagination or mine. This
happens to us every single night, Becky and I accusing
each other of too much imagination. We even stopped having
coffee with our dinner.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Rebecca, how good is your imagination?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Good is anybody else? As I kiss?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
All right, and I'm going to ask you to use
it constructively. Now, this is what I want you to do, Rebecca.
It's a psychic technique we use if a person is
bothered by a poltergeyster, an astral form who's tied to
the earth, as is your ghost with a knife. Now
I ask the rest to view to remain quite silent. Becca.
(20:00):
I want you to imagine yourself in a ball of
white light. Close your eyes, it will hurt me. On
the contrary, this white light sometimes we call it the
god light, because no evil force can penetrate.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
It is the man an evil force.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
At this point, we don't.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Know he has a knife.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I know that, Rebecca, but holding a knife doesn't necessarily
mean he's a man with evil contents his face.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
It's not a nice face.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
But just in case there is danger, superimpose yourself with
or let's say, contain yourself in a globe of white.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Light, a large globe.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Do you feel anything? Do you see anything?
Speaker 4 (20:54):
I have myre eyes closed.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
I know that, but in your mind's eye, why you
should begin to actually see the white light. It's the
light of protection, Rebecca, it's the light of love.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I see it, the white light.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I'm insided. I see it.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
All right, David, it's time.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Now, what's David going to do?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
So David is also a medium. We didn't want to
tell you that in the beginning of our session because
sometimes people can't appreciate the sensitivity of a medium and
they're somewhat disbelieving. But I think now you're both beginning
to believe that we can help you David, sit back,
be comfortable. Can you hear me? I can hear you? Bryce,
(21:54):
Your presence is getting fainter.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
What's David doing.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
He's dropping into a trance. Yes, yes, I see him.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
I see the man.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
He's tall, very tall. David standing up his face, his face,
that's the face of the ghost. David is making his
face look like the ghosts.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
He wants to speak. He wants to speak through Bryce.
He wants to say something Bryce.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
No harm. I know.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Why do you say that?
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Bryce? Thank you Bryce?
Speaker 5 (22:53):
He thanks you for letting him use your voice.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
The ghost had used my own lyns, my throat to
say the words I mean no harm. This had never
happened to me before. Usually it's the medium who speaks
for the spirit. We then brought David out of his
deep trains. Naturally, he remembered nothing of what had occurred,
(23:22):
since he's the conduct between the two worlds. I then
proposed we examine every room in the Green's house for vibrations.
Starting at the top. All of us went up the
narrow stairs to the attic. Bryce, would you take over now?
I'm going to try for some more pictures. Sure er,
Rebecca Leo, Let's turn out that electric bulb hanging. It's
(23:48):
better if we're in darkness. Remember when you can't see
the ghost, he also is unable to see you. When
his body is visible to you, so is yours.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
See him stand undish in December.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Please please let no one speak spectral spirits. We have
no thoughts for you but kindness and love. It is
time now for you to leave the world of earth
and return to your world where there must be God's
work for you to do. Do you hear me, Spirits,
(24:33):
Speak to us, Make us know why you are tied
to this house. You're left behind your loved ones in
your world to be here Spirits, Spectral spirit, Why why
I hate you in this house? What? What do you
(24:56):
What do you want to say? Oh? I feel Wait something,
something was taking possession of me. My head became heavy.
It was hard to breathe to get my words out.
The spirit was trying to come through and tell me something.
(25:18):
At last it passed and we left the attic on
the second floor. We checked every room. Little Tommy's, where
he lay asleep, had the warmest vibrations. Leo and Rebecca's
very cold and unusual vibrations. David took pictures everywhere, Bryce,
shall we do the exorcism now?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I was just going to suggest that every room exorcism.
Isn't that some kind of spooky religious thing for witches
and devils? And I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
What, Leo, You've been seeing too many horror movies. We're
not about to exercise a person, but the rooms is.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Kind of sacrilegious.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
No, no, not at all. Ours is very, very simple. We
just try to communicate to see the prevailing entity, and
sometimes we do it appears in a misty form. How
do you do it? We use the sign of the cross.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
I thought the cross was a symbol of what Jesus
Christ was crucified.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Only heavens, So that sign isn't the exclusive property of
the church. The true crosses fire, air, water, earth. It
predates Christianity by at least sixty five thousand years. I
had no idea the sign was used in those ancient
days as a fire line to burn away negativity and
(26:45):
to act as a as a natural blessing.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
And that's the sign you're going to make now.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Exactly as the ancient metaphysical priests did. It's not a
religious cross at all. Can we watch, Dear Rebecca, you
should watch. This is your house. This sign will bring
peace to it. We blessed all the walls of every
(27:14):
room without perfect class. David and I both making large
hand movements up and down and from left to right.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
What do we do now?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I think now, Leo, we've created a safer haven for
the ghosts, So we'll have another try at communicating with it.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Why we did not have to keep talking to that thing,
an awful ghost of the horrible face.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
And that knife. Why don't you just make him go away?
We never did anything to anybody.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Ever, won't you see, Rebecca? If we can get it
to tell us why it wants you, the whole mystery
will resolve.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Now it's an it. Before it was a hymn.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Is it real? Is it unreal?
Speaker 4 (28:00):
A thing? Or a presonent with too much for me?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Bryce? May I explain? Please do David?
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Look, Rebecca, Leo, the spirit world is not a world
where there is no life. Those spirits, like the ghost
with the knife, they have just as much love and
compassion as you and I.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
And that's why they have love and compassion and act
like he does.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I'd say even more love. There's a reason for him
being here.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
There is why I suppose I shouldn't be making such
a fuss.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Maybe he is just trying to tell us something.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
That's what I'm hoping, Rebecca, So will you bear with
David with me?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
That's twelve o'clock.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Let's have another go at it, David, Leo, Rebecca, will
you give us a chance? We do know what we're doing.
Twelve o'clock, Rebecca, I'm going to ask you again to
turn out the lights and just leave the candle at Bernie.
David doesn't need much light find his way into the
other world.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Hard to believe, is it? This is not fiction, It's fact.
The foundation for parasensory investigation indeed exists. Scientific psychic explorer
Bryce Bond is a real person, and the events you
are listening to happened. To what extent this couple and
(29:33):
their child were freed from the haunting of the Ghost
with a knife. We shall find out when I return
shortly with Act three. When you enter a new world,
(29:53):
you are a stranger until you learn the language. Everything
is foreign, unexpected, most mysterious until you know the ABC's.
So it is also in the world of mathematics, space travel, medicine,
and science. So it is in this strange world of
psychic phenomena. At last, Rebecca and Leo Green are trying
(30:17):
to understand the key to it, as well as the
key words to free themselves from this astro Visitor. Bryce
Bond continues.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
I told them I thought we were getting close to
the solution. The next step was for David again to
enter a trans state trans state. Now, what's that they
wanted to know? I explained that through David we'd be
able to enter the mysterious land of the spirit side.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
I'm sorry I acted like that, guys. It was stupid
of me, especially when I believe we're on the home stretch.
I really do want to know.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Every step of the way, and you are telling us
about trans state.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Bryce, It's a state of being and non being. For instance,
when I do my healing, I got down into a
trans state, meaning myself, my ego, the Brice Bond ego
leaves me, as David's is leaving him.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Now, why do you do that?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Can we have silence? Please? David is freeing himself so
that he can channel all the energy from above. You see,
I watch him. He's shaking his head and now he's nodding.
Do you see neither do we, sir. Let me assure
(31:45):
you we wish you no harm, and we believe you
wish us none. No, no, I want you to listen
to me carefully, spirit here on earth. It is now
winter time, December. In a little more than a week
it'll be Christmas. Do you remember Christmas? Chris? The time
(32:07):
of goodwill the man and the time of peace.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Chris.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
The year is nineteen seventy four. Understand nineteen seventy four,
That's right, that is the year it is today. Now
can you tell me when it is you passed away,
passed over? I am glad. I'm glad to talk to
(32:35):
you have over the gate from me to talk. I'm
also glad. Do you remember what year it was you
passed over?
Speaker 5 (32:45):
Where?
Speaker 2 (32:46):
You say? Winter or summer? This time? So the cold outside?
You remember the year? Year? The year you died? A year?
I don't remember the numbers anymore. What do you remember?
Speaker 5 (33:04):
I didn't tell you how it was.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
I was very sick and I couldn't go on. I'd
sit up in a chair, all dressed, and I'd listen
to the radio. Not there were little plays on the
radio every day, so rising calmed. I lived a whole
years they kept me alive. I didn't want to leave them.
(33:31):
Nobody would let me out of my way. And I
hadn't put it ride. What hadn't you put right? I
knew I had to fixed it right. It would go wrong?
What is it that would go wrong?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
I want to tell?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Is it something you want to tell Rebecca and Leo
and Tommy? What is it that's troubling you? Do you
want to tell them something? You are warning them? Is
that it? What harm? What harm? Rebecca and Leo and
(34:16):
Tommy don't know who you are, but they love you.
The strength of their love is wishing you to tell
them what harm? Spirit? Somewhere here on earth you must
have left behind some loved ones and they love you too.
(34:42):
Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Still? The
ghost has gone? Are you all right? David? Yes?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
He was very strong, wasn't he.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
We almost found out why he comes here. It's something
he's left undone. Thank you, David.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Won't a ghost come back?
Speaker 2 (35:14):
I hope so, But I don't know. I'd imagine that
until his job is finished, he won't leave you. What job?
Speaker 1 (35:21):
What is it? What could he have get to do?
Speaker 2 (35:26):
All? Close our eyes now I shall speak for all
of us. At this very moment. We are all going
to the cellar doors. We want to go down the
cellar stairs. And I have that feeling too, Yes, a
sense of urgency. Now now we must go now.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Yes, yes, we mustn't waste a moment.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
There was no question about it. It was a pull as
strong as gravity. We all knew we had to go
down to the basement. I led the way and then
spreaded enough, like Rebecca had done before me.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
I do trip it on the last step and almost fell.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Over there window.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Yes, now we've got enough film left in the camera's
coming this way. He's moving over to my workdance.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Friend, friend, what is the warning you have for us?
Show us, show.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Us doing something with his foot?
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Remember, dear friend, we wish to help you do what
you have left undone. Then you can return to your world.
Can you hear me? Can you understand me?
Speaker 5 (36:43):
Bryce, I don't want to take any more pictures. I
have a strong sense of unity with him now if
I'm in a trans state, except that and do whatever
he says to do through me.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Of course, David, the pictures are not important. Now. I
have exactly the same sense of haste of something to
be done quickly, quickly.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
It goes into the oil burner room.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Ber the gas leads down here, what birk dang?
Speaker 4 (37:20):
I never smelled anything down here, good lord.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Yes, it is gas through something. Now, no hurry, befor
it's too light. Amergency service island lighting.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah, this is Leol Green fourteen forty seven Locus Avenue, Mineola.
There's a gas leak in our basement. Well, he sends
them of over right away.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Green fourteen forty seven Locusts, Mineola. You have your oil
piner on right now, Becky.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
We have the oil burner on right now.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Of course we do.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
Can't you hear it?
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Yes, we do have it on right now.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Do you have a red box mack an mygency switch.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Just a moment? Do we have a red box an
emergency s whitch?
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Yes, at the head of the stairs, Yes, we do,
right at the head of the stairs.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Will you go down now and switch it off. We'll
have somebody around your house very shortly. It was quite true,
the message relaid through David by the ghost. There was
a ghas leak. It had been seeping for quite some time.
The power company told the Greens that had they not
(38:27):
been alerted in a matter of hours their house on
Locust Avenue might have gone sky high in an explosion.
Everything was turned off and made safe by three in
the morning. We were all sitting around in the kitchen
finally having some coffee.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
All those days and days and nights of not knowing.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Ah, now it's all over.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Did you take a look at Tommy.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
Yes, he hasn't stirred. He slept right through the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Tonny, when I wanted to check on him, I it's
a very warm vibration, and I thought, I know, our
ghost has come up to Tommy's room to say goodbye.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
All of a sudden, the feeling just disappeared.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Your little boy had a friend. I don't think you'll
have any problems about keeping plants alive in his room anymore.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Or couldn't it have been the gas plants are sensitive
to that.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
You think that's what it was, Rebecca oh Leo.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
Sometimes I began to really wonder about you. It was
the ghost trying to warn us.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Come on, now, can't there be a natural reason for something?
Everything can't be explained by the supernatural.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
But there was no gas leak anywhere near Tommy's room.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
You come on now, look, friends, we have a report
to write in some sleep to get Thank you for
the coffee.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
Oh, Bryce, you.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
And David were real friends, did an experience.
Speaker 4 (39:52):
I don't think either of us will ever forget.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
I'd say, on the whole we had a very peaceful reaction,
don't you agree, Bryce?
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yes, indeed, this this ghost with a knife, he was
quite a peaceful entity, not a negative entity in the.
Speaker 5 (40:05):
Slightest, only negative briefly to frighten them into action.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
I hesitate to think where we'd be tomorrow if you
two hadn't shown up.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Who knows, Possibly our friend the ghost would have still
found some way to warn you.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
When I think of it, he did everything short of
ripping the thermostat off the wall, and still we didn't
get the message. And a nice fellow, you know. Towards
the end there I sort of wished I could have
gotten an know him better. You don't think you'll be back.
I dobt it, not even for a short visit.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Well, good night or uh where did you put our coats?
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Oh? I'll show you good night and thank you everybody.
We'll let you know if my pictures show anything. I mean,
David didn't you feel that way that you'd like to
have known the ghost better.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
I would Leo, who knows.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
If everything hadn't worked out, then maybe, yes, you might
have gotten to.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Know him real well.
Speaker 5 (41:06):
You might have spent Christmas with your ghosts.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
In his world.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Today, at the Green's House in Long Island, there are
no more mysterious footsteps, The thermostat stays where you put it,
plants grow, and on Thursdays, when Rebecca's Bridge club meets,
there are no strange men in the kitchen. But there
is a larger meaning to this story you have just heard,
(41:36):
which I'll tell you when I returned shortly. You have
heard how, step by step, a higher intelligence tried to
communicate danger to an average couple living in an average town.
(42:00):
You have heard how the parasensory investigators took the steps
that freed the astral being so that it could return
to its world and get on with its own life. What,
in our language, our words, was this being? Was it
the mind? Some scientists say so, for the mind of
(42:21):
man never dies, only the body, And so it is
entirely possible that life can exist on the spirit side.
And perhaps one day we shall all find out why
and how Our cast included Arnold Moss, Patricia Elliott, Bob
(42:41):
Caliban and Gordon Gould. The entire production was under the
direction of Hyman Brown. And now a preview of our
next tale. What'd you say, Sally one of the butt
weeas that they say.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Frederick would go to these wild, primitive places that we're
dealing with, all kinds of well, we would call them
superstitious at every word down on tape.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
Hey, that takes record. If she does a trick to
get the pictures, Oh sure.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
Oh you can't beat that little wristwatch camera.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
Okay, there's lots of work to do.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
I developed the pictures and use that Listening to the.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
Tape, Honey, this could be it. How much do you
think it in it?
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Why is she supposed to be working four or five minutes? Oh?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Are we sure she's a believer?
Speaker 3 (43:34):
Oh yeah, I could tell by the way she talks.
Speaker 1 (43:36):
I checked her out.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
She goes for the message from the other world. Stuff,
She's alive.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
Moon, I could sense that.
Speaker 4 (43:43):
Well, we hooked the fish. Let's bring her in.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
Missus E. G.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
Marshall inviting you to return to our Mystery Theater for
another adventure in the macabre until next time, pleasant stream
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents, come in Welcome. I'm e. G. Marshall.
(00:26):
Two thousand years before christ On Tef, the Egyptian king
of the Eleventh Dynasty, had this inscribed upon his tomb.
There is none who comes back from the dead that
he may tell their state, that he may tell their needs.
It is not given to man to take his property
with him, Nor is there one who departs whoever comes
(00:48):
back again. Today, almost four thousand years later, we have
reason to believe this is not so. People do come back.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
From the dead. Rebecca, what does the ghost look like?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
He's about six feet tall, has a beard, green pants
olive green, and he holds in his hand a long knife.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
How old would you say?
Speaker 4 (01:13):
He is about thirty?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Anything peculiar about his clothing.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Ah, I'd say they were well what people wore in
the forties.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
My dad had pleated pants like his.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
So it's possible your ghosts passed over thirty years ago,
passed over, died. You see, spirits never grow older. They
remain exactly the age they were when they left this
world and entered theirs. Now.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
A mystery drama, The Ghost with a Knife, based on
a psychic case history reported by Bryce Bond was dramatized
especially for the Mystery Theater by James Aggatt Junior and
stars Arnold Moss and Patricia Elliott. It is sponsored in
part by Buick Motor Division and contact the twelve Hour
(02:09):
Cold Capsule.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
I'll be back shortly with At.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
One, you sit around talking with friends and someone asks
do you believe in ghosts? For the most part, the
non believers are those to whom extrasensory experiences have never happened.
(02:34):
But there are very many in this world to whom
the spirits of another world are very real and active
and cry to be heard. One of those who hears
them and deals with them is Bryce Bond, a well
known psychic scientist and investigator of the supernatural and super normal.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Let me get out of cases one in particular. About
a week before December sixteenth, nineteen seventy four, I received
a call from the president of the Foundation of the
Parasensory Investigation, who told me that a policeman from Minneola,
Long Island called to say that a mister and Missus Green,
a young couple he knew, asked him to come over
(03:22):
to their house and investigate a ghost. I set up
a date with a couple and asked David Anders, a medium,
a psychic and also a photographer, to come along with me.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Oh, come in.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
You are air Bryce Bonnes and this is David As.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
How do you do?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
You can leave here over coach here, I'll hang on
to my camera if you don't mind.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
You're going to take pictures of our ghost, Miss Changes,
if I can. I didn't know one could. Oh, this
is my husband.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
How do you do?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Boy, Tommy is upstairs, he's asleep. I hope and.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
See you've got a camera. I've always thought those pictures
of spooks and ghosts, what fakes? You know, the superimposed chots,
that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Have you seen this ghost, mister Green?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
And I'll certainly have?
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Well, then perhaps soaking my camera. I use infra red film,
wherever heat is generated in outline or even in considerable detail,
it will.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Register on the film.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
May we start, mister Green, missus Green, I'll begin by
asking you your first names Rebecca Rebecca, and your husband
is Leo and your boy is Tommy Tommy. Well, I'm
Bryce and this is David. If we're to help you,
we should all try to be as relaxed and informal
and friendly as we can. Now this, sir, this apparition
(04:52):
you experience, we want you to regard him.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Or her as a man.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Well, he's to be regarded as a friend. We don't
want to antagonize or frighten them.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
We're the ones who are being frightened. He isn't really
a very friendly spirity.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Looks horrible. Rebecca, can you tell us when you first
saw him?
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Yes, when I first it all started.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
May I. My wife is really very upset about this, Missie.
She's home most of the time I'm at work, so
she's been under a much greater strain. I think I
can be calmer.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
There. Those are the footsteps.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
We've sort of become used to our ghost walking up
from the cellar. He's been doing that for months.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Now, Leo, I can tell them. Tommy was the first
to see the ghost. But tell me my son. He
came down one morning.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
He's only four, and he said, Mommy, who's that man
in my room? He said, I woke up in the
middle of the night and he was standing there.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
We didn't know what to make of it at first,
I said to Becky, and I think Tommy's having a nightmare,
but it gets happening night after night.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
That's him coming up the cellar stairs.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Then he opens the cellar door. He's doing it now
in the.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Kitchen, or maybe he's showing off because you've got guests.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
No, he does that every evening, but most of the
time you don't see him. He doesn't what do you
call it materialized? Ye, he doesn't. He just walks around invisible.
And I don't like the idea of leaving my wife
and son in a house with a strange guy.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
He's six foot tall.
Speaker 5 (06:29):
Will you excuse me, I'd like to go into the
kitchen and have a look down those cellar stairs.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
I'll be right back. So he goes up and down
the cellar.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Stairs that's right through the cellar into the boiler room.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Always follows a pattern.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
I think he's trying to attract our attention to something.
We get the feeling he wants us to follow him.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Down there, and do you follow him?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yes, we have many times, but there isn't anything special
down there, so it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Cellar door was open, went down a couple of steps,
but I couldn't see a thing. Took some shots but.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I don't have much hope. There's nothing down there but
the usual people have in their basements. And the oil burner,
actually two oil burners. We put in a new one
last spring and just left the old, useless or rusty
one where it was.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
They are, how old? Long have you lived here? Since?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Right after last Christmas? Almost a year?
Speaker 4 (07:23):
It was December twenty ninth last year.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
The house was built in nineteen twenty nine, so the
old oil burner didn't owe us anything anyway.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
All this started this past October. For weeks we only
heard noises, and then, as I told you, Tommy started
to see the.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Ghost in his room at night.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
And about a month ago November, so did we.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Well, sorry, we didn't know about this manifestation.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Sooner saw am I, but Becky and I we didn't
know what to do. You know, people, kid, you remember
Joe Forster, our friendly patrolman.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
What made you decide to tell a police?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
It's one thing just to hear noises, It's another thing
to see a man six feet tall. But last Monday
I was alone here with Tommy and he came at
us with the knife.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
I've done many years of investigative work into the parasentury.
But this was the first time I had heard of
a supernatural entity holding a knife. I David Greens a
complete rundown of who David and I were, the extent
of the work of the Foundation, and said that we
were quite prepared to help them immediately.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
You mean, right now, this evening.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
As much as we can, agreed, I should say so. Oh, yes, Rebecca,
let's start by going upstairs to Tommy's room. That's where
he first saw the apparition.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Yes, but I wouldn't like to wake him.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
It's not necessary. And Leo, when you take David down
on the cellars so that he can have a look around,
it's from the cellar the ghost always comes.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
We think he must live down there, just up these stairs,
mister Bryce. Nice here at the landing. That's our bedroom,
Leo's and mine on the right, and Tommy's is.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
On the left.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Only Tommy has seen him inside his room. I first
saw him here outside Tommy's door, standing right where you're standing.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
What does he look like.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
He's about six feet tall, has a beard, dark hair,
a maroon colored shirt, green.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Pants, olive green. And then now he carries this big
knife Rebecca.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
How old would you say? The ghost is not old?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
About thirty?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Is there anything peculiar about his clothing?
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Peculiar you mean like bloodstains?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
No? No, no, no, I mean is it modern or
is it old fashioned?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Sort of modern, but not really what you were wearing today.
It's sort of like what people were wearing twenty thirty
years ago.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I see. So it's possible the ghost passed over in
the nineteen forties, passed over died.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Oh do they appear to us in the same clothes
they wore when they died?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Of course, the same clothes and the same age. Spirits
never grow older as we do. They remain exactly the
age they were when they left this world and entered theirs. Well,
can we take a peek into Tommy's bedroom?
Speaker 4 (10:39):
I'll open the door there quietly. I don't want to
wake him.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Now. Where was the ghost standing when Tommy saw him?
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Mostly at the foot of his dead most of the
times right by that window.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Oh, and that's another thing.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Wait a second, I want to show you something I.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Don't know if this. Would you take a look at
this plant?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh? What is it? Or should I say? What was it?
African violence could use a little water.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
That's just the point.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
This morning, this plant was healthy and alive. I got
it to the store. It's at least a tenth of well.
I don't know how many plants are all times we've
put in Tommy's room, and he loves growing things.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
We watch them, water them, but they all die overnight.
They shrivel up. Have you seen enough?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yes? I have. How does Tommy react to the ghost too?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Well, you know, he's very little still, he isn't scared,
but he's only four.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
That's off for young to understand fear.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I'll tell you something I've noticed, Bryce, Whenever I go
into Tommy's room, I feel good there.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Can you explain that a little better?
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Well, in the.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Rest of the house, I I feel uneasy, almost like alarmed,
But in Tommy's bedroom it's really more peaceful. I had
a funny idea that maybe the ghost is protecting my baby,
and that's why it feels good in there.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Oh, there you are.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Well, we explored the seller, and how's everything upstairs?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Bryce?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
It's very interesting, David. As I said before, this ghost
follows a passion, no question about that. You saw nothing
in the basement, nothing visible.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
But I think Bryce, we should consider that the old
oil burner may have something to do with the ghost that.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Had occurred to me too, David.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
But what a number of possibilities, Leo. Somebody may be
buried under the concrete in our cellar, buried.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
How horrible.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
There's no point speculating how this wandering spirit died. Our
job is to try to discover why he's here. Yep,
I find a warman here. It would give us a
better working atmosphere if you could please lower the heat,
just just turn it down a couple of degrees.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Oh, Leo, we forgot to tell him.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
As we did. You see, Bryce, he turns up the heat.
He you mean, yes, we forgot to tell you about that.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
We're no different from anybody else. We've been trying to
conserve heat.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Every night.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
We pushed the thermostat down to about sixty sixty five.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Either of you turned the thermost dot down tonight, Yes,
I did.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
I remember distinctly doing it. But just before you two arrived.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Come have a look at the thermostead.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Ninety Look at third.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Let me get a shot, yep, ninety degrees. That's what
he usually pushes it up to. You know, we've gotten
up in the middle of the night, roasting come down
ninety degrees. We haven't been able to figure out what
he's trying to.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Do to us. Leo. Moved to one side, please so
I can focus. Yes. Sorry. At least now we know
he's come up from the cellar and was right here
at this spot this heat. Before what I I heard
him walking back down the cellar stairs. I was afraid
he'd left us. When strangers enter a house, generally, his
spirit will not manifest itself unless you make a real
effort to be friendly.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Bryce, Can I say something I mean about the way
I feel well? By all means I have a funny No,
it's not funny. It's really a very strange sense of dread.
I never felt it quite so strong.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
What is it you feel?
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Don't you feel anything?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I mean that cold wave of air. Sure, I feel it.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
I'll just cover the whole room see if anything registers
on the infrared.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Oh, we haven't done something awful.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Have we?
Speaker 4 (14:39):
I mean by asking you here?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
It's very cold right in front of me, like someone
looking right into my face.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
I don't think I can sell it much longer.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Leo, we must all be calm and except the fact
that at this very moment, our mysterious friend is in
this room and he's moving about. Rebecca and Leo Greene
are real people. This event really.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Occurred in their Tudor style home on Locust Avenue, Minneola,
Long Island, on the sixteenth of December nineteen seventy four.
Bryce Bond and David Enters our witness to this fact.
I'll return shortly with that too. The lives of a
(15:37):
young suburban couple and their two year old son are
suddenly turned topsy turvy when their home is invaded by
an apparition who appears to live in their cellar and
wanders about their house day and night. To live in
a house with a spectral stranger is unnerving enough, but
when the ghost carries a long, dangerous look looking knife,
(16:01):
it can be terrifying. Why is he here? Can he
be made to leave? Bryce Bond, the parasensory scientist, picks
up the account.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
We sat in the greens living room, aware of the
rustle of cold air moving around us. The vibrations I
picked up made it quite clear that the ghost was
in that room at that very moment.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Will you folks excuse me a moment I'm going to
have to reload my camera, and I've got my film
in my coat.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
I'd like to turn the lights down a little more.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Must we suppose I just turned out the overhead lights
and theyve this one next to the sofa. What about
the candles on the mantelpiece.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Oh no, no, be those burning. That's that's all right.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I'm almost afraid to look at the candles. I know
that when the flames move, he's.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
There, Rebecca. What was the last time you actually saw him?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Last night?
Speaker 2 (16:57):
He had a good close look at him. How far
away was he?
Speaker 4 (17:01):
He was standing right there by the mantelpiece. Lee had
gone to bed. I was emptying the ashtrays over here.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Now, when you saw the apparition last night, did he
appear just as physical as I do now? Or did
you see through him?
Speaker 4 (17:17):
He was as clear as you are. In fact, it's crazy,
but I'd rather really see him than have him be invisible.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
When he went, he didn't fade away, or did he
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I went into the kitchen with the ashtray and dumped
it in the garbage, and when I came back into
the living room he was gone.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Did he have a knife in his hands last night, Rebecca.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
I don't know. It's just getting too much.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
I told you, Leo, we've got to move. I don't
want to stand this house any longer.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I don't, honey. Come on, let's know what it's all.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I think.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
If you can hold on to yourselves for a little
bit longer, we may be able to get the ghost
to move.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
There's another side of this. It may not all be
as he be as you think. A lot of apparitions
loved to play tricks.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
In the fall, we were having trouble with the new
oil burner, and I was on the phone with the
oil burner man, and he said, would I go down
and look at some gage or something. I went down
the cellar steps and I fell.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
It was as exactly as if somebody had tripped me.
And then it happened again another time.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Well, that's funny.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
I didn't notice any loose steps when I was down
there earlier.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Did you, Leo, I haven't been down to the cell
at night.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Well, sure you have. You brought me down.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I took some pictures tonight.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Of course, you're kidding me.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I absolutely don't remember.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Has this happened before in this house? Somebody's actually gone
out of the basement and not remembered.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Leo, I went upstairs to Tommy's room with Bryce, and
you took David into the cellar.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
I did you don't remember?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
No, I don't not go down to the cellar to night.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Oh good Lord.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Rebecca and Leo were working themselves up into quite a state,
getting increasingly agitated. I knew the vibrations they were creating
were negative and would make it almost impossible to communicate
with a haunting spirit.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I don't know if it's your imagination or mine. This
happens to us every single night, Becky and I accusing
each other of too much imagination. We even stopped having
coffee with our dinner.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Rebecca, how good is your imagination?
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Good is anybody else? As I kiss?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
All right, and I'm going to ask you to use
it constructively. Now, this is what I want you to do, Rebecca.
It's a psychic technique we use if a person is
bothered by a poltergeyster, an astral form who's tied to
the earth, as is your ghost with a knife. Now
I ask the rest to view to remain quite silent. Becca.
(20:00):
I want you to imagine yourself in a ball of
white light. Close your eyes, it will hurt me. On
the contrary, this white light sometimes we call it the
god light, because no evil force can penetrate.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
It is the man an evil force.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
At this point, we don't.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
Know he has a knife.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
I know that, Rebecca, but holding a knife doesn't necessarily
mean he's a man with evil contents his face.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
It's not a nice face.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
But just in case there is danger, superimpose yourself with
or let's say, contain yourself in a globe of white.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Light, a large globe.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Do you feel anything? Do you see anything?
Speaker 4 (20:54):
I have myre eyes closed.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
I know that, but in your mind's eye, why you
should begin to actually see the white light. It's the
light of protection, Rebecca, it's the light of love.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I see it, the white light.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I'm insided. I see it.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
All right, David, it's time.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Now, what's David going to do?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
So David is also a medium. We didn't want to
tell you that in the beginning of our session because
sometimes people can't appreciate the sensitivity of a medium and
they're somewhat disbelieving. But I think now you're both beginning
to believe that we can help you David, sit back,
be comfortable. Can you hear me? I can hear you? Bryce,
(21:54):
Your presence is getting fainter.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
What's David doing.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
He's dropping into a trance. Yes, yes, I see him.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
I see the man.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
He's tall, very tall. David standing up his face, his face,
that's the face of the ghost. David is making his
face look like the ghosts.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
He wants to speak. He wants to speak through Bryce.
He wants to say something Bryce.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
No harm. I know.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Why do you say that?
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Bryce? Thank you Bryce?
Speaker 5 (22:53):
He thanks you for letting him use your voice.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
The ghost had used my own lyns, my throat to
say the words I mean no harm. This had never
happened to me before. Usually it's the medium who speaks
for the spirit. We then brought David out of his
deep trains. Naturally, he remembered nothing of what had occurred,
(23:22):
since he's the conduct between the two worlds. I then
proposed we examine every room in the Green's house for vibrations.
Starting at the top. All of us went up the
narrow stairs to the attic. Bryce, would you take over now?
I'm going to try for some more pictures. Sure er,
Rebecca Leo, Let's turn out that electric bulb hanging. It's
(23:48):
better if we're in darkness. Remember when you can't see
the ghost, he also is unable to see you. When
his body is visible to you, so is yours.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
See him stand undish in December.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Please please let no one speak spectral spirits. We have
no thoughts for you but kindness and love. It is
time now for you to leave the world of earth
and return to your world where there must be God's
work for you to do. Do you hear me, Spirits,
(24:33):
Speak to us, Make us know why you are tied
to this house. You're left behind your loved ones in
your world to be here Spirits, Spectral spirit, Why why
I hate you in this house? What? What do you
(24:56):
What do you want to say? Oh? I feel Wait something,
something was taking possession of me. My head became heavy.
It was hard to breathe to get my words out.
The spirit was trying to come through and tell me something.
(25:18):
At last it passed and we left the attic on
the second floor. We checked every room. Little Tommy's, where
he lay asleep, had the warmest vibrations. Leo and Rebecca's
very cold and unusual vibrations. David took pictures everywhere, Bryce,
shall we do the exorcism now?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I was just going to suggest that every room exorcism.
Isn't that some kind of spooky religious thing for witches
and devils? And I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
What, Leo, You've been seeing too many horror movies. We're
not about to exercise a person, but the rooms is.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Kind of sacrilegious.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
No, no, not at all. Ours is very, very simple. We
just try to communicate to see the prevailing entity, and
sometimes we do it appears in a misty form. How
do you do it? We use the sign of the cross.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
I thought the cross was a symbol of what Jesus
Christ was crucified.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Only heavens, So that sign isn't the exclusive property of
the church. The true crosses fire, air, water, earth. It
predates Christianity by at least sixty five thousand years. I
had no idea the sign was used in those ancient
days as a fire line to burn away negativity and
(26:45):
to act as a as a natural blessing.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
And that's the sign you're going to make now.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Exactly as the ancient metaphysical priests did. It's not a
religious cross at all. Can we watch, Dear Rebecca, you
should watch. This is your house. This sign will bring
peace to it. We blessed all the walls of every
(27:14):
room without perfect class. David and I both making large
hand movements up and down and from left to right.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
What do we do now?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
I think now, Leo, we've created a safer haven for
the ghosts, So we'll have another try at communicating with it.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Why we did not have to keep talking to that thing,
an awful ghost of the horrible face.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
And that knife. Why don't you just make him go away?
We never did anything to anybody.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Ever, won't you see, Rebecca? If we can get it
to tell us why it wants you, the whole mystery
will resolve.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Now it's an it. Before it was a hymn.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Is it real? Is it unreal?
Speaker 4 (28:00):
A thing? Or a presonent with too much for me?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Bryce? May I explain? Please do David?
Speaker 5 (28:07):
Look, Rebecca, Leo, the spirit world is not a world
where there is no life. Those spirits, like the ghost
with the knife, they have just as much love and
compassion as you and I.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
And that's why they have love and compassion and act
like he does.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I'd say even more love. There's a reason for him
being here.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
There is why I suppose I shouldn't be making such
a fuss.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Maybe he is just trying to tell us something.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
That's what I'm hoping, Rebecca, So will you bear with
David with me?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
That's twelve o'clock.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Let's have another go at it, David, Leo, Rebecca, will
you give us a chance? We do know what we're doing.
Twelve o'clock, Rebecca, I'm going to ask you again to
turn out the lights and just leave the candle at Bernie.
David doesn't need much light find his way into the
other world.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Hard to believe, is it? This is not fiction, It's fact.
The foundation for parasensory investigation indeed exists. Scientific psychic explorer
Bryce Bond is a real person, and the events you
are listening to happened. To what extent this couple and
(29:33):
their child were freed from the haunting of the Ghost
with a knife. We shall find out when I return
shortly with Act three. When you enter a new world,
(29:53):
you are a stranger until you learn the language. Everything
is foreign, unexpected, most mysterious until you know the ABC's.
So it is also in the world of mathematics, space travel, medicine,
and science. So it is in this strange world of
psychic phenomena. At last, Rebecca and Leo Green are trying
(30:17):
to understand the key to it, as well as the
key words to free themselves from this astro Visitor. Bryce
Bond continues.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
I told them I thought we were getting close to
the solution. The next step was for David again to
enter a trans state trans state. Now, what's that they
wanted to know? I explained that through David we'd be
able to enter the mysterious land of the spirit side.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
I'm sorry I acted like that, guys. It was stupid
of me, especially when I believe we're on the home stretch.
I really do want to know.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Every step of the way, and you are telling us
about trans state.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Bryce, It's a state of being and non being. For instance,
when I do my healing, I got down into a
trans state, meaning myself, my ego, the Brice Bond ego
leaves me, as David's is leaving him.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Now, why do you do that?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Can we have silence? Please? David is freeing himself so
that he can channel all the energy from above. You see,
I watch him. He's shaking his head and now he's nodding.
Do you see neither do we, sir. Let me assure
(31:45):
you we wish you no harm, and we believe you
wish us none. No, no, I want you to listen
to me carefully, spirit here on earth. It is now
winter time, December. In a little more than a week
it'll be Christmas. Do you remember Christmas? Chris? The time
(32:07):
of goodwill the man and the time of peace.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Chris.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
The year is nineteen seventy four. Understand nineteen seventy four,
That's right, that is the year it is today. Now
can you tell me when it is you passed away,
passed over? I am glad. I'm glad to talk to
(32:35):
you have over the gate from me to talk. I'm
also glad. Do you remember what year it was you
passed over?
Speaker 5 (32:45):
Where?
Speaker 2 (32:46):
You say? Winter or summer? This time? So the cold outside?
You remember the year? Year? The year you died? A year?
I don't remember the numbers anymore. What do you remember?
Speaker 5 (33:04):
I didn't tell you how it was.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
I was very sick and I couldn't go on. I'd
sit up in a chair, all dressed, and I'd listen
to the radio. Not there were little plays on the
radio every day, so rising calmed. I lived a whole
years they kept me alive. I didn't want to leave them.
(33:31):
Nobody would let me out of my way. And I
hadn't put it ride. What hadn't you put right? I
knew I had to fixed it right. It would go wrong?
What is it that would go wrong?
Speaker 3 (33:45):
I want to tell?
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Is it something you want to tell Rebecca and Leo
and Tommy? What is it that's troubling you? Do you
want to tell them something? You are warning them? Is
that it? What harm? What harm? Rebecca and Leo and
(34:16):
Tommy don't know who you are, but they love you.
The strength of their love is wishing you to tell
them what harm? Spirit? Somewhere here on earth you must
have left behind some loved ones and they love you too.
(34:42):
Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Still? The
ghost has gone? Are you all right? David? Yes?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
He was very strong, wasn't he.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
We almost found out why he comes here. It's something
he's left undone. Thank you, David.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Won't a ghost come back?
Speaker 2 (35:14):
I hope so, But I don't know. I'd imagine that
until his job is finished, he won't leave you. What job?
Speaker 1 (35:21):
What is it? What could he have get to do?
Speaker 2 (35:26):
All? Close our eyes now I shall speak for all
of us. At this very moment. We are all going
to the cellar doors. We want to go down the
cellar stairs. And I have that feeling too, Yes, a
sense of urgency. Now now we must go now.
Speaker 4 (35:47):
Yes, yes, we mustn't waste a moment.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
There was no question about it. It was a pull as
strong as gravity. We all knew we had to go
down to the basement. I led the way and then
spreaded enough, like Rebecca had done before me.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
I do trip it on the last step and almost fell.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Over there window.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Yes, now we've got enough film left in the camera's
coming this way. He's moving over to my workdance.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Friend, friend, what is the warning you have for us?
Show us, show.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Us doing something with his foot?
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Remember, dear friend, we wish to help you do what
you have left undone. Then you can return to your world.
Can you hear me? Can you understand me?
Speaker 5 (36:43):
Bryce, I don't want to take any more pictures. I
have a strong sense of unity with him now if
I'm in a trans state, except that and do whatever
he says to do through me.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Of course, David, the pictures are not important. Now. I
have exactly the same sense of haste of something to
be done quickly, quickly.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
It goes into the oil burner room.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Ber the gas leads down here, what birk dang?
Speaker 4 (37:20):
I never smelled anything down here, good lord.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Yes, it is gas through something. Now, no hurry, befor
it's too light. Amergency service island lighting.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah, this is Leol Green fourteen forty seven Locus Avenue, Mineola.
There's a gas leak in our basement. Well, he sends
them of over right away.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Green fourteen forty seven Locusts, Mineola. You have your oil
piner on right now, Becky.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
We have the oil burner on right now.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Of course we do.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
Can't you hear it?
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Yes, we do have it on right now.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Do you have a red box mack an mygency switch.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Just a moment? Do we have a red box an
emergency s whitch?
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Yes, at the head of the stairs, Yes, we do,
right at the head of the stairs.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Will you go down now and switch it off. We'll
have somebody around your house very shortly. It was quite true,
the message relaid through David by the ghost. There was
a ghas leak. It had been seeping for quite some time.
The power company told the Greens that had they not
(38:27):
been alerted in a matter of hours their house on
Locust Avenue might have gone sky high in an explosion.
Everything was turned off and made safe by three in
the morning. We were all sitting around in the kitchen
finally having some coffee.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
All those days and days and nights of not knowing.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Ah, now it's all over.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Did you take a look at Tommy.
Speaker 4 (38:52):
Yes, he hasn't stirred. He slept right through the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Tonny, when I wanted to check on him, I it's
a very warm vibration, and I thought, I know, our
ghost has come up to Tommy's room to say goodbye.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
All of a sudden, the feeling just disappeared.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Your little boy had a friend. I don't think you'll
have any problems about keeping plants alive in his room anymore.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Or couldn't it have been the gas plants are sensitive
to that.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
You think that's what it was, Rebecca oh Leo.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
Sometimes I began to really wonder about you. It was
the ghost trying to warn us.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Come on, now, can't there be a natural reason for something?
Everything can't be explained by the supernatural.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
But there was no gas leak anywhere near Tommy's room.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
You come on now, look, friends, we have a report
to write in some sleep to get Thank you for
the coffee.
Speaker 4 (39:46):
Oh, Bryce, you.
Speaker 3 (39:48):
And David were real friends, did an experience.
Speaker 4 (39:52):
I don't think either of us will ever forget.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
I'd say, on the whole we had a very peaceful reaction,
don't you agree, Bryce?
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yes, indeed, this this ghost with a knife, he was
quite a peaceful entity, not a negative entity in the.
Speaker 5 (40:05):
Slightest, only negative briefly to frighten them into action.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
I hesitate to think where we'd be tomorrow if you
two hadn't shown up.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Who knows, Possibly our friend the ghost would have still
found some way to warn you.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
When I think of it, he did everything short of
ripping the thermostat off the wall, and still we didn't
get the message. And a nice fellow, you know. Towards
the end there I sort of wished I could have
gotten an know him better. You don't think you'll be back.
I dobt it, not even for a short visit.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
Well, good night or uh where did you put our coats?
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Oh? I'll show you good night and thank you everybody.
We'll let you know if my pictures show anything. I mean,
David didn't you feel that way that you'd like to
have known the ghost better.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
I would Leo, who knows.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
If everything hadn't worked out, then maybe, yes, you might
have gotten to.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Know him real well.
Speaker 5 (41:06):
You might have spent Christmas with your ghosts.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
In his world.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Today, at the Green's House in Long Island, there are
no more mysterious footsteps, The thermostat stays where you put it,
plants grow, and on Thursdays, when Rebecca's Bridge club meets,
there are no strange men in the kitchen. But there
is a larger meaning to this story you have just heard,
(41:36):
which I'll tell you when I returned shortly. You have
heard how, step by step, a higher intelligence tried to
communicate danger to an average couple living in an average town.
(42:00):
You have heard how the parasensory investigators took the steps
that freed the astral being so that it could return
to its world and get on with its own life. What,
in our language, our words, was this being? Was it
the mind? Some scientists say so, for the mind of
(42:21):
man never dies, only the body, And so it is
entirely possible that life can exist on the spirit side.
And perhaps one day we shall all find out why
and how Our cast included Arnold Moss, Patricia Elliott, Bob
(42:41):
Caliban and Gordon Gould. The entire production was under the
direction of Hyman Brown. And now a preview of our
next tale. What'd you say, Sally one of the butt
weeas that they say.
Speaker 3 (43:00):
Frederick would go to these wild, primitive places that we're
dealing with, all kinds of well, we would call them
superstitious at every word down on tape.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
Hey, that takes record. If she does a trick to
get the pictures, Oh sure.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
Oh you can't beat that little wristwatch camera.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
Okay, there's lots of work to do.
Speaker 3 (43:21):
I developed the pictures and use that Listening to the.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
Tape, Honey, this could be it. How much do you
think it in it?
Speaker 2 (43:28):
Why is she supposed to be working four or five minutes? Oh?
Speaker 1 (43:31):
Are we sure she's a believer?
Speaker 3 (43:34):
Oh yeah, I could tell by the way she talks.
Speaker 1 (43:36):
I checked her out.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
She goes for the message from the other world. Stuff,
She's alive.
Speaker 1 (43:40):
Moon, I could sense that.
Speaker 4 (43:43):
Well, we hooked the fish. Let's bring her in.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
Missus E. G.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
Marshall inviting you to return to our Mystery Theater for
another adventure in the macabre until next time, pleasant stream
