The Unseen And The Seen

Description

A banker who paints as a hobby thinks his dead wife's ghost is haunting their home when their wedding photo keeps moving to different rooms by itself. Upset and confused, he comes up with a special plan to figure out what's really going on.

Believing their house to be haunted by the spirit of his deceased wife, a widowed banker and aspiring artist becomes distressed when the picture of their wedding day moves around the house seemingly on its own. To get to the bottom of things, he devises a unique plan.

Donald, a widower with three children, lives with his mother-in-law, Mona, and her personal maid, Selma. He is shocked one morning to find his wedding picture, which has been on the mantelpiece for 20 years, lying on the floor. Then he finds it on a windowsill, behind a chair, in a wastebasket. When no one will admit having moved the photo, Donald sends them all away. Nothing happens for six nights, but during the seventh the photo gets moved to a coffee table and, as Donald confides to a friend, he’s “scared to death.”

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.
