A Ghostly Game of Death

Description

Alex Garth, a scholar of the supernatural, spends a grim night in a haunted seaside house where he tries to prove the existence of ghosts. He is aided by Tim Kelly and Kelly's dog Byron, as they listen to ghostly whispers and follow strange noises through shadowed halls. Garth finally confronts the spectral Lucy, whose tragic story comes to light.

Scholar Alex Garth tries to prove ghosts are real during a dark night at a spooky house by the ocean. Tim Kelly and his dog Byron help him as they hear ghostly voices and chase weird sounds down dark hallways. At the end, Garth meets the ghost Lucy and learns her sad story.

Hired to find the secrets of a haunted house on the seacoast, professional “ghost hunter” Alex Garth and his aide attempt to spend a night in the creaky old house. There they encounter the ancient wrath of the spirits of two lovers and the jealous sea captain husband who murdered them. When they meet up with the mad spirit they discover that the sea captain is determined to murder anyone who pursues his wife—just as he did hundreds of years ago.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
