Five Ghostly Indians

While vacationing in Maine, Professor George Waymouth and Colonel Caleb Pengree find an old Indian arrowhead on a deserted beach where an early explorer once brutally murdered six Indians. Shortly thereafter, they are frightened by the sound of drums and a cloudy apparition rising out of the water. They keep hearing the drums and seeing the apparition, and when Waymouth is attacked by an unknown force, both men become convinced that avenging spirits do exist.

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.
