The Fall of Gentryville
Description
When an entire mountain town vanishes from a map, a reporter is dispatched to uncover the mystery. There she discovers the village's sole survivor and she narrates a chilling and terrible tale.
A reporter named Pete, in order to redeem himself, is assigned to write a story about why the little town of Gentryville and all its residents have vanished without a trace. The geologists and engineers blame it on an earth fault but, after he interviews the town’s sole survivor, a spinster named Jennie Powers, Pete comes up with a different theory that, if printed, will either land him in a nuthouse or win him a Pulitzer Prize.
A journalist gets sent to investigate when a whole mountain village disappears from maps. She finds the town's only living person, who tells her a frightening and awful story.
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.
