The Ghost in the Well

Artist Jim Taxon’s friends think he has gone mad when he tells them why he has painted the same subject several times in order to get a good likeness. His subject is Guliana Sands, who died in 1799 when she fell into a well—pushed, she tells Jim, by her betrothed Levi Weeks. She has come back, not only to be painted, but to clear herself of the sins Levi’s lawyers—Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr—claimed she was guilty of.

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.
