The Sensitive

At his wife Sally’s insistence, Philo Dency agrees to attend a seance at the home of his boss. It’s a trying session, especially for Philo, who manages to entice from his grave a French soldier who says he was killed fighting the Russians at Borodino. Hailed by his wife and boss as “a true sensitive,” Philo becomes frightened when his doctor discovers he lost ten pounds during the séance and that his blood pressure has gone up alarmingly.

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.
