Whatever Happened to Mrs. Forbush?
Description
A dead sea captain's wife haunts an empty house near the ocean, while her husband's ghost troubles the waters close by. A weak child and his family get trapped in the supernatural storm.
The ghost of a sea captain's wife plagues an abandoned house by the sea, and the water nearby is haunted by the spirit of the captain. A frail child and his family are caught in the tempest.
Marjorie and Bert Desmond and their 9-year-old son Robbie rent a long-deserted house by the sea. When Bert is called back to his office, Marjorie is confronted by what she is sure is the ghost of Lavinia Forbush, who owned the house 200 years ago and whose husband, Captain Forbush, and son were lost at sea. Lavinia warns Marjorie to take Robbie away before she loses him and her husband forever.
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.
