Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
The Shadow knows.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
In just a moment, the Shadows starts his thrilling adventure.
But first a word about this invisible enemy of the underworld.
The Shadow, the serious character who raid the forces of
law and order, is in reality la Mark Cranston, wealthy
young man about town. As the Shadow, he is the
mortal enemy of all those who would work evil upon
their fellow men. Cranston is gifted with the hypnotic power
(00:53):
of cloud men's minds so that they cannot see him.
This hypnotic power is the result of years of research
in the Orange. The Shadow does not there a charmed life,
yet he defies death in all its forms to aid mankind.
Crankston's friend and companion, the lovely Margot Lane, is the
only person who knows to whom the voice of the
(01:14):
Shadow belongs. Today's sorry ghost town.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
I understand that there's quite a story to be told
about Bad Greek, Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Sir, Yes, indeed so the end of the last century.
Bad Greek was the rip roar in his mine in
town west of the Mississip. Man and boy, there ain't
never been another place like it, easy, boy.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Says the past. Just now all the way down the
cliff quite as sheer drop.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
But if you just keep your horse bloats up to
the side, man, there ain't no danger of falling much.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
That's encouraging.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yeah, I reckon the thing Bad Crick's best known for
as the time Alvarez the Mexican Band had shot his hand.
Paul Sweetheart comments, see that they writ a song about that.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Oh, yes, I know, the song, almost as famous as
Frankee and Johnny in American folklore.

Yes, well, man and boy, there's always a first time.
Speaker 1 (02:52):

soul lived there for over forty five years. Certain court
old Pop evans he's an old track part to run
a hotel when Bad Creek was really operating. Then when
the gold give out and the miners deserted the town,
Pop just hung on men and boys.

this hotel is still driving like a uster.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Run down the main street, folks, and get up to
the hills again.
Speaker 4 (03:48):

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Give us a chance to look around. Oh no, no,
you can't stay here, No, oh why not?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Pardon when I told you Bad Creek was a ghost town,
I didn't just mean it was a deserted Really, it's
really a town of ghosts.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
What oh, what do you mean.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I mean that the ghosts of them who lived in
bad Greek when it was a gold mining camp have
been seen here at night, reliving their days of glory.
They've been shooting, and even dead bodies that weren't so
pretty to look at that have been found in these
lonely streets.
Speaker 7 (04:21):
And that's all right, died, you can't scare us. I
didn't think of nothing more enjoyable than spending the evening
with the band at Alvarez and his sweetheart common Seeder.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, there's been others who said the same things you're saying.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Man.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
They spent a night here too. The next day they
was found raven, mad or dead.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
But if you'd seen them folks like i'd seen them,
their eyes popping, their faces all twisted like with fear.
And then that we found alive wasn't like humans at all,
you wouldn't believe it unless you'd seen it.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Well, how do you feel about staying now, Margot?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
The matter? Are you afraid to face the ghosts thinking
of you? Well, if you're thinking of me, you'll agree
to stay.

This place is just as it must have been long ago.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
While the still's glasses on the bar, and chairs are
still set around tables. If it went for the heavy dust,
you'd almost believe it that they were open for business tonight.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
That's odd. What the same heavy dust that you speak
of is covering the keys of the piano, and yet
we heard it play?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Was there another piano?
Speaker 1 (12:34):

the costume of old Mexico, a ghost of Albarett or
someone pretending to be the ghost of Alvarez. Come on,

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yes, we've got to go in and find pop Evans,
get some water and some bandages.
Speaker 4 (13:18):

Speaker 1 (13:22):
No ghosts never fleed, Miss Travin, Mister Ravin, yes, oh

wounded right outside your door. We must cut some water

But don't get excited. And then, yes, my friends, mistay
having a little friend.
Speaker 1 (13:44):

this little scare.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Quite the contrary, Miss Evans, We're more determined than ever
to spend the night here and before morning, I personally
guarantee you that we will have exploded for all time
the legend of Bad Creek.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
What do you make of this whole thing? Leamon?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Well, Marda, one thing is certain. We're not dealing with ghosts,
But who these Halloween artists are and what the purpose
of the exhibition is I still can't figure out.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Hmm, our friend again is but he's part of a
thing too.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
No, it's the voluntary helper.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
They have a woman working with him, the one we
heard singing in the chrystal SALOONA.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yes, I presume she's supposed to be the spirit of
the lovely Common.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Cedar and the man on horseback with dress as Alvarez.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yes, say common the albrez marg Why didn't we think
of this before? What the events so far this evening
had coincided with the verses of the song Alvarez and
Common Cedar? Remember it?
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Yes, In the first verse of the song, Carmon seeds
singing to the gold miners.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
And the crystal saloon.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
That's right. And in the second verse, Alvarez rides through
the tom and shoots his rival on the steps of
the hotel. Now we have something to work on. All
we have to do is wait for them to begin
to enact the next verse.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
But let me see, Lamont, what is that next verse?
Elbow where in common seam berty?
Speaker 6 (16:03):

Speaker 1 (16:27):

You mean happen now?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Shall we go to the Christa Saloon?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
No, no, it's too late for that. They can stop

wait right here in this room, mark here, old man.
I'm sure that nothing will happen to you, so please stay.

as common Seaton. Yeah, how'd you know I'd recognized that
all key voice on his place? Say so, I'm finally
meeting the ghost of Bad Creek.

No, let me out of here. You can't do this
to me.

in this mine. When I examined it, I saw that

tried to frighten people away.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
The month.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I'm right here, mother, Well, I made a different time.
Are you all right?
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Yes? For those people, those people we left in the.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
Mine, they're buried in man, there's nothing we can do.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
The mom, How did you know where to look for him?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Very simple? Marga. Do you remember how we followed the
movements of the ghosts by recalling the verses of the
Alvarez and commenteda song? Yes, well, I finally remember the
fourth verse. It tells of how Alvarez fled to the
single ace mine on the hillside. I played the hunch
that they were sticking to the song and came.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Here the months from now on, Man and boy, that's
my favorite melody.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Friends, you want to hear next week's unusually frilling shadow story,
when Lamon's and Margo venture into Voodo Lamb to starve
the weird mystery of the tup I wonder if you
can help us.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
So we're looking for the nets with plantations.
Speaker 11 (26:14):
Nos bit yes, nes bit plantation yes yes. Keep away,
keep away from there.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Come back here, come back mamm Did you see his face?
Do you suppose he was a zombie?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Today's program is based on a story. Day's program is
based on a story copyrighted by the Shadow magazine. Who's
bought our fictition and a similarity to person's living or
dead is purely for incident, the weed.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Of crime, there's bitter fruits. Crime does not pay
Speaker 6 (27:04):
The Shadow Noe
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
The Shadow knows.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
In just a moment, the Shadows starts his thrilling adventure.
But first a word about this invisible enemy of the underworld.
The Shadow, the serious character who raid the forces of
law and order, is in reality la Mark Cranston, wealthy
young man about town. As the Shadow, he is the
mortal enemy of all those who would work evil upon
their fellow men. Cranston is gifted with the hypnotic power
(00:53):
of cloud men's minds so that they cannot see him.
This hypnotic power is the result of years of research
in the Orange. The Shadow does not there a charmed life,
yet he defies death in all its forms to aid mankind.
Crankston's friend and companion, the lovely Margot Lane, is the
only person who knows to whom the voice of the
(01:14):
Shadow belongs. Today's sorry ghost town.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Well there it is, miss Lane, Missus Branson, five fair lord,
and the famous old coal mining town of Bad Grack.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Then he looks all say good like the movie.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yes, that howling coyotes probably wrecked the Wonder Dog.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
We'd better be traveling down the hill if you want
to visit the town before dog, give your boy, Come on, come.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
On a guide.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I understand that there's quite a story to be told
about Bad Greek, Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Sir, Yes, indeed so the end of the last century.
Bad Greek was the rip roar in his mine in
town west of the Mississip. Man and boy, there ain't
never been another place like it, easy, boy.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Says the past. Just now all the way down the
cliff quite as sheer drop.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
But if you just keep your horse bloats up to
the side, man, there ain't no danger of falling much.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
That's encouraging.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yeah, I reckon the thing Bad Crick's best known for
as the time Alvarez the Mexican Band had shot his hand.
Paul Sweetheart comments, see that they writ a song about that.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Oh, yes, I know, the song, almost as famous as
Frankee and Johnny in American folklore.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Well, we better be getting down faster. It'll be dark tuned. Sorry, Pardner,
didn't mean to bump you.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
My horse.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Just swerve there, month you almost went over the side
of the cliff.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Aw, don't be alarmed, man, Man and boy, I ain't
never seen no one go off here.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
Yes, well, man and boy, there's always a first time.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Yeah, come on, is there anyone living in Bad Creek now?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
No, sir, Bad Creek the ghost town. It's been a
soul lived there for over forty five years. Certain court
old Pop evans he's an old track part to run
a hotel when Bad Creek was really operating. Then when
the gold give out and the miners deserted the town,
Pop just hung on men and boys.
Speaker 8 (03:17):
Been there ever since, waiting for the town to be revived.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, something like that. He's a bit pets now thinks
this hotel is still driving like a uster.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Huh.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Here we are in the town.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
Oh boy, so this is ghost town, GIRs. Look at
those buildings lamon now almost falling the.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Street here, Yes, a deserted street, so quiet.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
We'll just take a quick.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Run down the main street, folks, and get up to
the hills again.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Oh no, let's really stay and explore the plane of course.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Give us a chance to look around. Oh no, no,
you can't stay here, No, oh why not?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Pardon when I told you Bad Creek was a ghost town,
I didn't just mean it was a deserted Really, it's
really a town of ghosts.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
What oh, what do you mean.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I mean that the ghosts of them who lived in
bad Greek when it was a gold mining camp have
been seen here at night, reliving their days of glory.
They've been shooting, and even dead bodies that weren't so
pretty to look at that have been found in these
lonely streets.
Speaker 7 (04:21):
And that's all right, died, you can't scare us. I
didn't think of nothing more enjoyable than spending the evening
with the band at Alvarez and his sweetheart common Seeder.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah, there's been others who said the same things you're saying.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Man.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
They spent a night here too. The next day they
was found raven, mad or dead.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
But if you'd seen them folks like i'd seen them,
their eyes popping, their faces all twisted like with fear.
And then that we found alive wasn't like humans at all,
you wouldn't believe it unless you'd seen it.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Well, how do you feel about staying now, Margot?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
The matter? Are you afraid to face the ghosts thinking
of you? Well, if you're thinking of me, you'll agree
to stay.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Then it's settled.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
We stay and you're staying alone, Pardner, I'll go to
the hills.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Well, where is this pop Evans Hotel.

as them others who dared to face.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
The ghosts of bad Greek.

All this must be the place, Margot, Oh, hello, can

Speaker 10 (11:02):
Yes, sounds like they started their evening's business at the
crystal saloon.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Of who are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (11:09):
The spirits? That's calm and see the singing.
Speaker 10 (11:12):
Now, hey, if it disturbs you, send word the sheriff
to have them and tone her down.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
It's a serious goe. He honestly believes that those are
spirits that we're hearing. Goes to people who's been dead
forty or more years.
Speaker 10 (11:26):
She's got a sweet voice, and she no wonder overrais
is so local about it?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
The treven? Where is the Crystal saloon?
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Yes, there on the street.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Come on, Margo, where are you going to the crystal saloon?

there's the piano over there. Let's have a look at it.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
This place is just as it must have been long ago.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
While the still's glasses on the bar, and chairs are
still set around tables. If it went for the heavy dust,
you'd almost believe it that they were open for business tonight.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
That's odd. What the same heavy dust that you speak
of is covering the keys of the piano, and yet
we heard it play?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Was there another piano?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
No, I'm not hearing this.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
What was there?
Speaker 8 (12:39):
Let's find out?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Stop?
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Stop he's riding up through the hills.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Did you see him as he went?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Tried not to think they all he was dressed in
the costume of old Mexico, a ghost of Albarett or
someone pretending to be the ghost of Alvarez. Come on,
we better see what happened at the hotel.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Look a month on the hotel test. There's a man.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yes, let's hurry, he's.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Driving in sane so shot.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yes, sir, this man was the victim. I'd rather you
didn't look at a morgo. He's been shut to.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
The head, but he's still alive.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yes, we've got to go in and find pop Evans,
get some water and some bandages.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Come on, Margo, he certainly isn't one of the ghosts.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
No ghosts never fleed, Miss Travin, Mister Ravin, yes, oh
you're right here, Miss seven. There's been a man furiously
wounded right outside your door. We must cut some water
and bandage, just.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Quickly, see you hear me, ma'am? He yes, yes, I hear,
But don't get excited. And then, yes, my friends, mistay
having a little friend.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Listen, if you'll just step outside and look, you'll see
that this is not a spirit this time.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Sure, sure, I come out and look.
Speaker 10 (13:52):
I seem the same show a hundred times, but I
look again. Sure, anything to pleasey customer? Now where is
this smrtly wounded individual?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Right?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Is gone?
Speaker 5 (14:06):
The month? Well, yeah, are you satisfied?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
No, no, I'm not a bit satisfied.
Speaker 10 (14:15):
And I suppose you'll be wanting to check out after
this little scare.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Quite the contrary, Miss Evans, We're more determined than ever
to spend the night here and before morning, I personally
guarantee you that we will have exploded for all time
the legend of Bad Creek.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
What do you make of this whole thing? Leamon?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Well, Marda, one thing is certain. We're not dealing with ghosts,
But who these Halloween artists are and what the purpose
of the exhibition is I still can't figure out.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Hmm, our friend again is but he's part of a
thing too.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
No, it's the voluntary helper.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
They have a woman working with him, the one we
heard singing in the chrystal SALOONA.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yes, I presume she's supposed to be the spirit of
the lovely Common.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Cedar and the man on horseback with dress as Alvarez.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yes, say common the albrez marg Why didn't we think
of this before? What the events so far this evening
had coincided with the verses of the song Alvarez and
Common Cedar? Remember it?
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Yes, In the first verse of the song, Carmon seeds
singing to the gold miners.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
And the crystal saloon.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
That's right. And in the second verse, Alvarez rides through
the tom and shoots his rival on the steps of
the hotel. Now we have something to work on. All
we have to do is wait for them to begin
to enact the next verse.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
But let me see, Lamont, what is that next verse?
Elbow where in common seam berty?
Speaker 6 (16:03):
I wait a minute, that's it.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
That's it. Later on that very evening, down the main street.
He did, rod, you remember well at it?
Speaker 7 (16:13):
And in the third verse Elbows rides back to the
Chrystmas saloon and shoots the girl yes.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
Yes, And in the fourth verd the.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Birth the year.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I can't remember a bit of it now.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Well is that where the sheriff's pose hangs him? No?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
No, no, no, that's much later in the song.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
