Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Gery.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Oh at two am, I say Wednesday, will your wife
be down shortly?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yes? Or a promise a special seaance fro miss keeping
here at too?
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yes, and I can hardly wait. I've always been so
curious about things like this, but I've never attended a
sea hos before.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I assure you, Miss Keith, and you will find it
most fascinating. I've been watching a load of practice for
almost five years. She makes more progress with every sitting.
It's absolutely astounding what she can do, isn't it, Winstead,
Yes quite Oh yes. She really didn't know she had
the power, you know, until about nineteen thirty seven. Remember
(01:11):
whinstead be the penthouse party gave the beastly thing? Do
you remember? Yes, I remember very well. It was Quentin Ramsey. Oh, yes,
that's who it was. Ramsey had a mystic oracle board,
you know, Luigi. No one could get the thing to
work until they coaxed Laura to sit down and have
a try.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
And she made the board work.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Oh indeed, she did all over the place. It was
absolutely weird. She got messages from several of the guest
friends who had passed on some time ago, people she'd
never heard of. Until that night. Wonderful. She used the
board about a year and then found out she could
get pencil messages message. Yes, she simply substituted the pencil
(01:53):
for the little heart shaped board with the eye and
glass windowed. Her messages came in more rapidly, that way,
more complete, and this method was less trying for her.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
She actually contacts the party's spirits that way.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I mean she did. But she gave up the writing
method two years ago, didn't she, Winstead, Yes, thank heaven.
Replace I'd go, I'd find a paper simply covered with
strains scratching her brain, so called message. But look here,
old fellow, why did you take the shade of sarcasm
(02:30):
in your voice? I dare say you do not a
board of the whole thing, But why Winds did simply
because it's all a lot of well go on, Oh
never mind. No, I wish you'd come on downstairs and
get this thing over with, Drica. I urge you not
(02:52):
to waste your time of this foolish foolishness. Now A
hear Winstead, you can't talk about your wife's work like that.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
No, that really and absolutely fascinated by it all. I
can't wait for missus Winstead to come down.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
She'll be down the moment. I say, Winstead, really, I
can't understand your attitude about Laura's work. Why you used
to enjoy watching her work immensely?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Is?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I used to love her immensely? But I say, does
that mean, mister.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Rogers, you said a moment ago that Missus Winstead doesn't
communicate by means of pencil writing any longer.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Why no, she doesn't. After about a year of it,
she undertok a profound and comprehensive study of spiritualism and
communication with those who have left this level. In her study,
she learned that those departed ones can sometimes make contact
with us through the use of a medium voice. Well.
She began very slowly at first, lying relaxed on a couch,
(03:54):
eyes closed, and eventually her contact began to use.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
A Laura's own boys for their messages.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
And that's what she'll do for us tonight and more more, Oh, yes,
you've seen, miss Keaton.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
After Laura Winds did perfected their means of vocal communication
with spirits, she continued her studies and experiments until she
became able to bring about maisas you mean, I mean,
now we see the departed one with whom we commune.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Oh, I really didn't expect that.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I thought possibly a few table rapped here.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Oh, there'll be more than rapping to the night, miss Keaton.
Oh here's Laura. Now, Laura there? Goody?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Or should I say good morning? He's out at two am?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yes, Laura, I've been waiting for you. Really, I think
it could be more prompts.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Do your hobby.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
But perhaps you should hold the seances instead of Mela.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
There's really no reason for you to make a scene. No,
of course, not that we're not here first seen. It's
for a seance. Yeah, shall we begin law?
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Yes, Harvey.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
If this is going to bore you, I suggest you
go into the library until we've finished.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
No, I'll remain here.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Then I must ask you to assume the right attitude.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
You know, we always have difficulty.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Getting good contact whenever a disbeliever is present. Oh, I'm
sure mister Winstead believes, don't you, Harvey.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I'd rather ask that same question of you, Frederick. We're
finished here.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Don't worry about Melius Winstead. I'm quite open nine day,
I'm sure you are. Dere Now, if we're all gather
around the table, Rogers.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Will you turn off the life please?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yes, certainly, there we are. Now we're all.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
What's wrong?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
What happened? I never, my lord? But we go? You
all right? Yes, of course she is. I'm going to
miss my chair and bumped into words.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
So sorry, miss I'm sorry too.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Please forgive me, but I was startled for a long there.
Now we're all settled. It was entirely my fault, Miss Stephen.
I'm terribly sorry.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
It's quite all right, mister Rogers.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Is everyone quite ready?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yes, Laura already. So we begin any time.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Now, Harvey. We will begin when an opportune time arrives.
Let me tell you once again that if you are impatient,
it will be best that you.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Will leave us.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Oh no, no, Harvey, please don't go.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Don't worry. I have no intention of leaving you.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Please all join hands, Serger give me your hand, Miss
Keaton yours?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Please?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Now are you.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Two clasp hands with mister Winstead? Yes, I understand, Harvey.
Where's your hand?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Oh? How there?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
It is a simple.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Now, whatever happens, no one is to break the contact.
Is that perfectly clear? No one? We will soon make
communications with one from another level.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
However, we see this I must ask you to be
very quiet, Miskeithon. No one is to.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Speak when a materialization takes place. Please do not utter
a sound unless it addresses you personally.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
We're gathered here to.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Commune with whom whoever wishes to contact us. We have
gathered with open mind, mind and with the unity of purpose.
If there's someone who wishes to speak to us or
any one of us, will he or she please make
(08:14):
herself known? Is someone seeking contact? Praise not twice for no,
thrice for yes. Do you have a message for someone present?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
For me?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
No, for someone else.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Who is present here? Do you wish to speak to me?
Do you wish to.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Show yourself to us?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Very well.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
We will await your appearance now. When you are ready
to speak through me, Please begin.

Be good to my child. Big good them doon.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Wor no, go not yet.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I want to talk to you. She's good.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Oh I saw it, O pain me it was my mother.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I know it was Harvey.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Did you see her?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I saw her.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Will you turn up the lights, Roger, Yes, I'm feeling
all right, Laura, Yes, quite all.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Right, thank you, Harms.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yes, I suppose so. I I don't know what to
make of this. It's also wonderful.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I take it with a grain of salt, My dear,
try not to think too much about it.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Harvey.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I'll not have you say such things. Miss Keaton.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
You've just seen and talked with your mother. You may
do so again whenever you wish. In case there's the
slightest dart in your mind, I can assure.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You that it was your mother. Oh, yes, yes, I'm
sure it was, missus Renstead. And as I say, it's
it's so wonderful.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Tell me.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Why haven't I heard of your ability to do this before?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Now?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Because, Miss Keithton, I'd met no one to speak of it.
I do not wish to become a public figure. I
give sitstings for my friends. I don't wish the world.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
At large to know about my power.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
So I swear every newcomer to complete an absolute secrecy.
I'm asking you for your assurance.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Now you mean you don't want me to speak as
as to anyone. That's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
You must promise to speak to no one of what
you have seen here tonight.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Very well, missstead up as you wish. I shall expect
you to keep that promise. No, Miss, the answers.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Ended, I shall be due all good night, Lord.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I won't just stay and talk for a while, thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
No, I'm very tough. I didn't.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
It's almost three o'clock.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I'll see you to the stairs and and then I
must be going. I want to know chat. I'll see
you at the artist tomorrow. Very well, Thank you, Rogers.
I good night, skeep good.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Night, mister Rogers's Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Good night, my dear. Please come back again when you can.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Oh, thank you. I will.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Good night, Laura, I'll run Fredericka Holme. I'll be long short, yes, Harvey.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
Take your sigh, my dear. Now what ever made me
say that? I will sure your will anyway?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Good night, Harvey.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
She's suspicious that I'm in love with you.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
How could she have found out?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I told her you did. Yes. I made a clean
breast of it to her, told her it was no
good she and I trying to continue to make a
go of it. She refuses to give me a divorce.
I'm really desperate, Fredrika. I can't stand living with her
another day. She's changed, so there's no love in her
(14:12):
heart anymore, no want. She suddenly becomes such a different person,
bag in, sharp tongue, overbearing pretty.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
You do need someone to look after you. She must
neglect you, care me, she does.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I minded a lot at first, believe me, Frederica, I
was always in love with Laura. Now she's so indifferent
everything I try to do for But why is she
become so indifferent to you? I stopped trying to explain
that months ago. I don't care anymore now that I
(14:59):
found you. Y You do love me, don't you, Frederica.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Oh yes, dear, of course I do. But we can't
go on like this. But no solution in view.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
There must be a solution.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
There must be some way that there is no way,
no way except the one Laura denies that.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Just give me a little time, Frederica. I isn't hopeless yet.
I promise you, Frederica, I'll find a way. I'll find
a way somehow, my.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Darling, Harvey, I'm still thinking about what Lara did here tonight.
The apparition the voice of my mind.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Oh nonsense, Frederica, don what do you mean? Here? I'll
show you win me. Yeah, I want you to see this, Frederica.
Here you are. But that's what an exact image of
my mother, nothing but a paper machet face hated to
(16:07):
resemble an old lady, an old gray shawl, and some
old style spectacles.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
But how does it work? How did she make it appear?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Easily? Look up above there and almost invisible wires drung
across the room. Laura simply releases an electrically controlled lock
on this cabinet behind her chair. Since the invisible wires
placed at a single angle, the so called spirit slipped
slowly out in front of those sitting at the table.
(16:40):
Yeah like this, Yeah, then, Laura says whatever she wants to,
changing her voice. When it's all over, she simply manipulates
this cord on a pulley inside the cabinet. The images
returned to the cabin.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
M simple, Oh then she mainly.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
For you.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I've known for you that Laura is nothing but a flag.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
You might say, you know for yourself, Harvey.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Laura I asked, I asked her not to come here.
She insisted that since you extended the invitations she was
obliged to. I felt it only fair to sure that
sheep been the victim of a hope.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Harvey, never lie, Miss, I'm not the least embarrassed. The
apparition was a tricky but I assure you, my dear,
the voice was not.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Of course, it was Laura.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
You know it, indeed, Harvey, my dear, there are many
things between earth and Heaven that none of us know,
then many things that you don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
If I have you tricked at.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Our meetings, I admit that, but not everything that has
happened here has been trickery.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You have to convince me, Laura Harvey.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
I have a feeling, a feeling that some day, some
how I will pelive you, and that when I do,
you'll never.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Be able to start at me again.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Laura. I'm sorry about last night, but we simply must
settle this thing once and before all.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I can't use there's anything.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
You haven't the right to hold me like this, Laura,
you don't love me. Why don't you give me my freedom?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Hid Because no woman likes to see another take her place,
And besides, it's so convenient being married to your income.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
You're the most selfish, the most self centered woman I've
ever met, my Harley, you certainly are, Laura. All I ask,
is it? Of course, I'll see to it that you're
well cared for financially.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
No, Harvey, you're wasting your breath.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I told you no yesterday.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I say no again today, and I'll keep on saying
no as long as.
Speaker 8 (19:46):
I live, as long as you live. Yes, just so,
my dear, just so.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Oh ho, Lara, how are you?
Speaker 4 (20:23):
I'm excellent, Frica. I'm driving out a quick point.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Won't you ride along with me? Will be back by noon?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
All right, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I would like to pressure.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
I'll come along, Edrica. I need some company and decide
I want to have a little talk with you for
the results.
Speaker 9 (20:44):
Hold bah, he's in pay for Harvey Wednesdays. Why deads
One's old cliff Point the Women's Forts nor Figway by Harley,
(21:08):
the fire thud driver missus Harvey Wednesday killed instantly less
Favica Keaton expected to.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Die there you areful est paper?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
How is she? Doctor? How is miss Keaton? She's is
slightly improved, mister Winston, Thank heaven, She's still in a.
Speaker 10 (21:43):
Very serious condition. Became consciousness early this morning after a
ten days comer. She seems to recognize people. But something
is wrong with Miss Keaton's Knave centers. One thing, she
can't use her voice. An operation perhaps, yes, very serious
(22:05):
one to require our quite an expense.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Hang the expense, Get the best surgeon you know of.
I'll pay all the bills everything. Only Frederica Keeping must recover,
(22:30):
I say instead, do you really think that that this
girl will ever recover? I don't know. It's been months
since the accident. She hasn't been able to speak one
word to me, all the kids. It's none of my affair, really,
but I know things have been going very badly for
you lately, losing your wife and all need some money
(22:52):
all man, I don't know. No, thanks, thanks a lot, Rogers.
My money's not completely gone. Yeah, good news, good news,
is it? Yes? Doctor, the operation was a success. I
don't believe me. I have a dream that will require
three operations to make Misquiting able to speak again. She
(23:14):
can talk, yes, after almost six months of silence. Oh
that's splendid. When can I see your doctor? Why now
you wish here this way? Just just a few minutes now, Jesus,
she's been a weak. Yes, Hello, Frederica, Harvey.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Harvey Darling.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Oh, my Darling, it last is wonderful, dear, oh, my
dearest one, to hear your voice again.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I thought i'd never speak to your acting.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Must forget all that, Darling. Get well soon, please, because
just as soon as you're strong enough, we'll be married, Dennis,
just as I've always told you we'd be. Oh no,
(24:30):
wait a minute, Frederica, I want to carry my bride
over the threshold I become. Now there we are, now
there you are, missus Winston in your new home at last.
Now how about a kiss from mister Winston's new bride. Harvey.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
You're always a fool, an't you?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Kadrika Padrica Darling, I'll stop it, stop it.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
You're so annoying, Harvey Adrica.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Whatever's come over you?
Speaker 4 (25:11):
You thought your problem was solved, didn't you. You're not
sending your embankment to my.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Debt with a solution.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
I don't understand.
Speaker 11 (25:18):
Look at me, whom do you see Fadrica cheating? Yes,
of course you do. But whose voice do you hear?
You've been so stupid, Harvey, you hadn't even noticed.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
It, Dippy, how you are believer now Laura, my wife.
Speaker 12 (26:06):
God, you have heard a delicate case of murder.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
The fourteenth original tale of Dark Fantasy by Scott Bishop.
Georgiana Cook was her tonight as Laura Winstead. Van Mars
was Harvey Winstead. Eleanor Nayla Koran played Frederica Keaton. Your
hype was Rogers and Fred Wayne was the doctor. Next
(26:43):
Friday Night, at the same time, listen to the fifteenth
Unusual Tale and this series of dark Fantasy, Spawn of
the sub Human, in which the nation's favorite soprano star
makes an aeroplane flight to an incredible destiny that awaits

(27:05):
Tom Paxton speaking Dark Fantasy. Comes to you from WKY,
Oklahoma City. This is the National Broadcasting Company.
Yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Gery.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Oh at two am, I say Wednesday, will your wife
be down shortly?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yes? Or a promise a special seaance fro miss keeping
here at too?
Speaker 4 (00:40):
Yes, and I can hardly wait. I've always been so
curious about things like this, but I've never attended a
sea hos before.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I assure you, Miss Keith, and you will find it
most fascinating. I've been watching a load of practice for
almost five years. She makes more progress with every sitting.
It's absolutely astounding what she can do, isn't it, Winstead,
Yes quite Oh yes. She really didn't know she had
the power, you know, until about nineteen thirty seven. Remember
(01:11):
whinstead be the penthouse party gave the beastly thing? Do
you remember? Yes, I remember very well. It was Quentin Ramsey. Oh, yes,
that's who it was. Ramsey had a mystic oracle board,
you know, Luigi. No one could get the thing to
work until they coaxed Laura to sit down and have
a try.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
And she made the board work.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Oh indeed, she did all over the place. It was
absolutely weird. She got messages from several of the guest
friends who had passed on some time ago, people she'd
never heard of. Until that night. Wonderful. She used the
board about a year and then found out she could
get pencil messages message. Yes, she simply substituted the pencil
(01:53):
for the little heart shaped board with the eye and
glass windowed. Her messages came in more rapidly, that way,
more complete, and this method was less trying for her.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
She actually contacts the party's spirits that way.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I mean she did. But she gave up the writing
method two years ago, didn't she, Winstead, Yes, thank heaven.
Replace I'd go, I'd find a paper simply covered with
strains scratching her brain, so called message. But look here,
old fellow, why did you take the shade of sarcasm
(02:30):
in your voice? I dare say you do not a
board of the whole thing, But why Winds did simply
because it's all a lot of well go on, Oh
never mind. No, I wish you'd come on downstairs and
get this thing over with, Drica. I urge you not
(02:52):
to waste your time of this foolish foolishness. Now A
hear Winstead, you can't talk about your wife's work like that.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
No, that really and absolutely fascinated by it all. I
can't wait for missus Winstead to come down.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
She'll be down the moment. I say, Winstead, really, I
can't understand your attitude about Laura's work. Why you used
to enjoy watching her work immensely?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Is?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I used to love her immensely? But I say, does
that mean, mister.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Rogers, you said a moment ago that Missus Winstead doesn't
communicate by means of pencil writing any longer.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Why no, she doesn't. After about a year of it,
she undertok a profound and comprehensive study of spiritualism and
communication with those who have left this level. In her study,
she learned that those departed ones can sometimes make contact
with us through the use of a medium voice. Well.
She began very slowly at first, lying relaxed on a couch,
(03:54):
eyes closed, and eventually her contact began to use.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
A Laura's own boys for their messages.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
And that's what she'll do for us tonight and more more, Oh, yes,
you've seen, miss Keaton.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
After Laura Winds did perfected their means of vocal communication
with spirits, she continued her studies and experiments until she
became able to bring about maisas you mean, I mean,
now we see the departed one with whom we commune.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Oh, I really didn't expect that.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I thought possibly a few table rapped here.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Oh, there'll be more than rapping to the night, miss Keaton.
Oh here's Laura. Now, Laura there? Goody?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Or should I say good morning? He's out at two am?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yes, Laura, I've been waiting for you. Really, I think
it could be more prompts.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
Do your hobby.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
But perhaps you should hold the seances instead of Mela.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
There's really no reason for you to make a scene. No,
of course, not that we're not here first seen. It's
for a seance. Yeah, shall we begin law?
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Yes, Harvey.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
If this is going to bore you, I suggest you
go into the library until we've finished.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
No, I'll remain here.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Then I must ask you to assume the right attitude.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
You know, we always have difficulty.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Getting good contact whenever a disbeliever is present. Oh, I'm
sure mister Winstead believes, don't you, Harvey.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I'd rather ask that same question of you, Frederick. We're
finished here.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Don't worry about Melius Winstead. I'm quite open nine day,
I'm sure you are. Dere Now, if we're all gather
around the table, Rogers.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Will you turn off the life please?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yes, certainly, there we are. Now we're all.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
What's wrong?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
What happened? I never, my lord? But we go? You
all right? Yes, of course she is. I'm going to
miss my chair and bumped into words.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
So sorry, miss I'm sorry too.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Please forgive me, but I was startled for a long there.
Now we're all settled. It was entirely my fault, Miss Stephen.
I'm terribly sorry.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
It's quite all right, mister Rogers.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Is everyone quite ready?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yes, Laura already. So we begin any time.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Now, Harvey. We will begin when an opportune time arrives.
Let me tell you once again that if you are impatient,
it will be best that you.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Will leave us.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Oh no, no, Harvey, please don't go.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Don't worry. I have no intention of leaving you.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Please all join hands, Serger give me your hand, Miss
Keaton yours?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Please?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Now are you.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Two clasp hands with mister Winstead? Yes, I understand, Harvey.
Where's your hand?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Oh? How there?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
It is a simple.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Now, whatever happens, no one is to break the contact.
Is that perfectly clear? No one? We will soon make
communications with one from another level.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
However, we see this I must ask you to be
very quiet, Miskeithon. No one is to.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Speak when a materialization takes place. Please do not utter
a sound unless it addresses you personally.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
We're gathered here to.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Commune with whom whoever wishes to contact us. We have
gathered with open mind, mind and with the unity of purpose.
If there's someone who wishes to speak to us or
any one of us, will he or she please make
(08:14):
herself known? Is someone seeking contact? Praise not twice for no,
thrice for yes. Do you have a message for someone present?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
For me?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
No, for someone else.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Who is present here? Do you wish to speak to me?
Do you wish to.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Show yourself to us?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Very well.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
We will await your appearance now. When you are ready
to speak through me, Please begin.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Predy God, present God.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Do yes, Yes, I'll hear your.
Speaker 6 (09:37):

Speaker 4 (09:56):
Yeah, I see you record.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
My red.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Clad.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Yes, you're my mother.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
Yes, I am warm mother. Do not to world preading.
Do not worry.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
A bosting.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Be good to my child. Big good them doon.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Wor no, go not yet.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I want to talk to you. She's good.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Oh I saw it, O pain me it was my mother.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I know it was Harvey.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Did you see her?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I saw her.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Will you turn up the lights, Roger, Yes, I'm feeling
all right, Laura, Yes, quite all.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Right, thank you, Harms.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yes, I suppose so. I I don't know what to
make of this. It's also wonderful.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I take it with a grain of salt, My dear,
try not to think too much about it.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Harvey.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I'll not have you say such things. Miss Keaton.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
You've just seen and talked with your mother. You may
do so again whenever you wish. In case there's the
slightest dart in your mind, I can assure.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You that it was your mother. Oh, yes, yes, I'm
sure it was, missus Renstead. And as I say, it's
it's so wonderful.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Tell me.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Why haven't I heard of your ability to do this before?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Now?
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Because, Miss Keithton, I'd met no one to speak of it.
I do not wish to become a public figure. I
give sitstings for my friends. I don't wish the world.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
At large to know about my power.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
So I swear every newcomer to complete an absolute secrecy.
I'm asking you for your assurance.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Now you mean you don't want me to speak as
as to anyone. That's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
You must promise to speak to no one of what
you have seen here tonight.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Very well, missstead up as you wish. I shall expect
you to keep that promise. No, Miss, the answers.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Ended, I shall be due all good night, Lord.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
I won't just stay and talk for a while, thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
No, I'm very tough. I didn't.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
It's almost three o'clock.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I'll see you to the stairs and and then I
must be going. I want to know chat. I'll see
you at the artist tomorrow. Very well, Thank you, Rogers.
I good night, skeep good.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Night, mister Rogers's Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Good night, my dear. Please come back again when you can.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Oh, thank you. I will.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Good night, Laura, I'll run Fredericka Holme. I'll be long short, yes, Harvey.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
Take your sigh, my dear. Now what ever made me
say that? I will sure your will anyway?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Good night, Harvey.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
She's suspicious that I'm in love with you.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
How could she have found out?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I told her you did. Yes. I made a clean
breast of it to her, told her it was no
good she and I trying to continue to make a
go of it. She refuses to give me a divorce.
I'm really desperate, Fredrika. I can't stand living with her
another day. She's changed, so there's no love in her
(14:12):
heart anymore, no want. She suddenly becomes such a different person,
bag in, sharp tongue, overbearing pretty.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
You do need someone to look after you. She must
neglect you, care me, she does.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I minded a lot at first, believe me, Frederica, I
was always in love with Laura. Now she's so indifferent
everything I try to do for But why is she
become so indifferent to you? I stopped trying to explain
that months ago. I don't care anymore now that I
(14:59):
found you. Y You do love me, don't you, Frederica.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Oh yes, dear, of course I do. But we can't
go on like this. But no solution in view.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
There must be a solution.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
There must be some way that there is no way,
no way except the one Laura denies that.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Just give me a little time, Frederica. I isn't hopeless yet.
I promise you, Frederica, I'll find a way. I'll find
a way somehow, my.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Darling, Harvey, I'm still thinking about what Lara did here tonight.
The apparition the voice of my mind.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Oh nonsense, Frederica, don what do you mean? Here? I'll
show you win me. Yeah, I want you to see this, Frederica.
Here you are. But that's what an exact image of
my mother, nothing but a paper machet face hated to
(16:07):
resemble an old lady, an old gray shawl, and some
old style spectacles.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
But how does it work? How did she make it appear?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Easily? Look up above there and almost invisible wires drung
across the room. Laura simply releases an electrically controlled lock
on this cabinet behind her chair. Since the invisible wires
placed at a single angle, the so called spirit slipped
slowly out in front of those sitting at the table.
(16:40):
Yeah like this, Yeah, then, Laura says whatever she wants to,
changing her voice. When it's all over, she simply manipulates
this cord on a pulley inside the cabinet. The images
returned to the cabin.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
M simple, Oh then she mainly.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
For you.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I've known for you that Laura is nothing but a flag.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
You might say, you know for yourself, Harvey.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Laura I asked, I asked her not to come here.
She insisted that since you extended the invitations she was
obliged to. I felt it only fair to sure that
sheep been the victim of a hope.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Harvey, never lie, Miss, I'm not the least embarrassed. The
apparition was a tricky but I assure you, my dear,
the voice was not.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Of course, it was Laura.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
You know it, indeed, Harvey, my dear, there are many
things between earth and Heaven that none of us know,
then many things that you don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
If I have you tricked at.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Our meetings, I admit that, but not everything that has
happened here has been trickery.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You have to convince me, Laura Harvey.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
I have a feeling, a feeling that some day, some
how I will pelive you, and that when I do,
you'll never.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Be able to start at me again.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Laura. I'm sorry about last night, but we simply must
settle this thing once and before all.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I can't use there's anything.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
You haven't the right to hold me like this, Laura,
you don't love me. Why don't you give me my freedom?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Hid Because no woman likes to see another take her place,
And besides, it's so convenient being married to your income.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
You're the most selfish, the most self centered woman I've
ever met, my Harley, you certainly are, Laura. All I ask,
is it? Of course, I'll see to it that you're
well cared for financially.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
No, Harvey, you're wasting your breath.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I told you no yesterday.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I say no again today, and I'll keep on saying
no as long as.
Speaker 8 (19:46):
I live, as long as you live. Yes, just so,
my dear, just so.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Oh ho, Lara, how are you?
Speaker 4 (20:23):
I'm excellent, Frica. I'm driving out a quick point.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Won't you ride along with me? Will be back by noon?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
All right, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I would like to pressure.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
I'll come along, Edrica. I need some company and decide
I want to have a little talk with you for
the results.
Speaker 9 (20:44):
Hold bah, he's in pay for Harvey Wednesdays. Why deads
One's old cliff Point the Women's Forts nor Figway by Harley,
(21:08):
the fire thud driver missus Harvey Wednesday killed instantly less
Favica Keaton expected to.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Die there you areful est paper?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
How is she? Doctor? How is miss Keaton? She's is
slightly improved, mister Winston, Thank heaven, She's still in a.
Speaker 10 (21:43):
Very serious condition. Became consciousness early this morning after a
ten days comer. She seems to recognize people. But something
is wrong with Miss Keaton's Knave centers. One thing, she
can't use her voice. An operation perhaps, yes, very serious
(22:05):
one to require our quite an expense.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Hang the expense, Get the best surgeon you know of.
I'll pay all the bills everything. Only Frederica Keeping must recover,
(22:30):
I say instead, do you really think that that this
girl will ever recover? I don't know. It's been months
since the accident. She hasn't been able to speak one
word to me, all the kids. It's none of my affair, really,
but I know things have been going very badly for
you lately, losing your wife and all need some money
(22:52):
all man, I don't know. No, thanks, thanks a lot, Rogers.
My money's not completely gone. Yeah, good news, good news,
is it? Yes? Doctor, the operation was a success. I
don't believe me. I have a dream that will require
three operations to make Misquiting able to speak again. She
(23:14):
can talk, yes, after almost six months of silence. Oh
that's splendid. When can I see your doctor? Why now
you wish here this way? Just just a few minutes now, Jesus,
she's been a weak. Yes, Hello, Frederica, Harvey.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Harvey Darling.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Oh, my Darling, it last is wonderful, dear, oh, my
dearest one, to hear your voice again.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I thought i'd never speak to your acting.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Must forget all that, Darling. Get well soon, please, because
just as soon as you're strong enough, we'll be married, Dennis,
just as I've always told you we'd be. Oh no,
(24:30):
wait a minute, Frederica, I want to carry my bride
over the threshold I become. Now there we are, now
there you are, missus Winston in your new home at last.
Now how about a kiss from mister Winston's new bride. Harvey.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
You're always a fool, an't you?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Kadrika Padrica Darling, I'll stop it, stop it.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
You're so annoying, Harvey Adrica.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Whatever's come over you?
Speaker 4 (25:11):
You thought your problem was solved, didn't you. You're not
sending your embankment to my.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
Debt with a solution.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
I don't understand.
Speaker 11 (25:18):
Look at me, whom do you see Fadrica cheating? Yes,
of course you do. But whose voice do you hear?
You've been so stupid, Harvey, you hadn't even noticed.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
It, Dippy, how you are believer now Laura, my wife.
Speaker 12 (26:06):
God, you have heard a delicate case of murder.
