Unknown Broadcast | "Devilstone"

Unknown Broadcast | "Devilstone"

The episode begins with a host setting the atmosphere for a spine-chilling story, highlighting the cold weather outside and inviting listeners to prepare for a tale titled "Devilstone." This narrative unfolds in Dublin, where the protagonist, Timothy Martin, leads a comfortable life thanks to a substantial inheritance. However, his tranquil existence is disrupted when he inherits an abandoned property in County Fermanagh, known as Devilstone, from a forgotten uncle.

Timothy's initial reaction is nonchalant; he considers renting the property out but is met with a skeptical response from his solicitor, Ian Carney. Carney strangely advises against renting it to prospective tenants, raising curiosity and concern. Shortly after, a visitor named Mr. Stoker arrives, furious about having visited Devilstone with his wife. Stoker claims that the house is haunted, which Timothy dismisses as absurd, thinking it's merely an excuse to avoid the rental.

Despite Everts, Timothy’s loyal manservant, suggesting the hauntings might have a foundation, Timothy is determined to investigate Devilstone for himself. They travel to the estate, encountering an imposing, gloomy mansion that unsettles both of them and their dog, Kim. As they explore the property, strange occurrences and eerie sounds begin to surface, raising the tension.

The narrative escalates with Timothy feeling someone's presence, witnessing strange footprints appearing in the mud, and experiencing physical manifestations of terror. Undeterred, he pushes forward, wanting to investigate further despite the creeping fear. However, they soon find themselves trapped in a room as doors mysteriously close, and a chilling voice ominously warns them of impending danger. The ghostly figure of Jason O'Flynn, Timothy's ancestor who had died tragically on the very grounds, appears, confirming that the house is indeed haunted.

The suspense builds as Timothy learns about the tragic backstory of Jason O'Flynn, who cursed the place after the demise of his wife. This curse has seemingly trapped his spirit within the house, and the connection to the recent events becomes clear. Timothy resolves to uncover more about the mystery shrouding the estate.

The investigation moves forward, but the discoveries lead to a climactic moment when Timothy and Everts uncover a trapdoor concealing the preserved body of Jason O'Flynn himself. This revelation ultimately leads to the lifting of the curse, allowing the ghost to finally rest in peace. The episode closes with a sense of foreboding yet comfort, as the host reflects on the themes of fear and gratitude, urging listeners to find solace in their lives as they drift off to sleep.

Overall, the episode is a rich blend of suspense, historical intrigue, and supernatural elements, examining themes of legacy, fear, and confronting the unknown. With careful narrative pacing and intriguing character development, it culminates in a resolved mystery that lingers in the mind of the audience.

you've never heard of devil Stones. Well, I can assure you.

10
00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.920
It's the kind of thing young boys are whispering about

11
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:59.840
between classes in third grade. It's the kind of thing

12
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:07.280
you hope you never encounter. But why am I talking?

13
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.040
Then I can leave this to the profession rooms. So

14
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:11.640

Meet your snapping with. My name is Martin, Timothy Martin.

28
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.759
I live here in Dublin, and very nicely too, thanks

29
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.800
to a considerable inheritance and sale of the family estate

30
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.800
in County Kilkenny, which bought a very good price. I

31
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.599
have a comfortable cottage, a faithful man servant by the

32
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.000
name of Evatts, and everything else I need to live

33
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.919
an easy, contented life, and without the need of applying

34
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.199
myself to any sort of labor. Even my financial matters

35
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:46.479
are no bother to me. He handled by a penny

36
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:50.400
pinchion old solicitor by the name of Ian Carney, and

37
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:54.479
mine was a contented life until that is, until a

38
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:57.240
long forgotten uncle died and left me some property he'd

39
00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.919
own but never lived on up in County for mana

40
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:04.960
near inner Skillum, a place known as Devilstone. And then,

41
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.159
but let me digress for a moment, I should say,

42
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.199
let me seem to digress for a moment, and remember

43
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:13.719
this please, for it may have much to do with

44
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.879
a strange, terrifying tale. I'm about to tell you, deep Ander,

45
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.639
Saint Michan's Church here in Dublin is a crypt. It

46
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:26.360
possesses most amazing properties. In it lie scores of bodies

47
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:30.639
in a state of perfect preservation, albeit they are hundreds

48
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.960
of years old. The old ones used to say it's

49
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:36.319
due to some wondrous form of black magic, but that

50
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.680
modern science, modern chemistry has exploded that ancient belief has

51
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.599
shown that certain gases generated by the unusual composition of

52
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.080
the dark, dank earth in which the crypt is located,

53
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:52.439
those gases have produced this amazing phenomenon very well. Now,

54
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.080
A few days ago I called mister Carney, my solicitor,

55
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:58.199
on the telephone. I've been open yet, car Me Timothy,

56
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.360
I wish to speak with you about her How some

57
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.439
property in County Fermana that your uncle left you. Well,

58
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:05.319
I have suddenly no desire to move away from Dublin,

59
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.479
mister Connee, So I decided to rent up the old place,

60
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:11.520
rent it out. And why not, sir, You really think

61
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.759
you can, for I'm quite certain I can. I doubt it. Well.

62
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:16.519
As a matter of fact, an American couple by the

63
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:18.600
name of Stoker left here only yesterday for a look

64
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:19.040
at it.

65
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:19.800
I see.

66
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:22.240
I expect they'll be back here a moment now to

67
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:25.759
agree to lease it for the summer. Timothy, you uh

68
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:30.040
showed them the pictures and description of the place yesterday morning.

69
00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:32.680
They were so intrigued by them they were all to

70
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.439
signing a lease then and there. You'd better to have

71
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.600
taken their money and let them do it, my boy.

72
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:42.560
Oh ay, I'm sure I don't see why. Surely they're

73
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:44.800
entitled to look at the place over before they take it,

74
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.120
after all, mister Connie, never haven't been there myself. There

75
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:50.000
wasn't too much I could tell them about Devilstone, exactly

76
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:53.519
as it should be, Timothy, I'm afraid I don't understand you, sir.

77
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.839
I mean that now, my boy, you will never rent

78
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.360
it to them. Note anyone else who goes there?

79
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:00.800
Now.

80
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:05.160
Why do you say that, mister Kearney, Well, yeah, you

81
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:09.079
don't know. Of course I don't know. Then perhaps your tenants,

82
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:14.079
I should say, erstwhile prospective tenants will tell you if

83
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.839
you ever see them again. And now what do you

84
00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:19.720
mean by excuse me a moment, mister Conney? Yes, what

85
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:20.319
is it? Evids?

86
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.360
I beg your partisoner, But there's a mister Stoker here.

87
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.879
To see you, Soker, Yes, sir, and if I may

88
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.399
say so, it appears to be quite excited about something rather angry.

89
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.439
Hell Shall I tell him you're busy and suggest to

90
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:36.120
see you another time? Timothy? Yes, no efforts having come in?

91
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.480
Please hello, hello Timoth.

92
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.319
Oh sorry, mister Karney, but I have someone here to

93
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.519
see me. No devil Stone. I think I better call

94
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.680
you back very well if you like. But there is

95
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.240
something about devil Stone, it's history that you might not

96
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.759
be cognizant of. Will I'll get back to you shortly,

97
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:57.240
Timothy adviser. Well, at least you didn't rather skip out

98
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:57.519
on me.

99
00:05:57.959 --> 00:05:58.600
Mister Stoker.

100
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:00.920
How are you nice to see you again? Oh? It

101
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:03.040
is eh? Did you and your wife get over to

102
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.240
look at Devil's doone as your plan? We certainly did.

103
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.199
And by heaven, Martin, if this is your idea, some

104
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.519
practical joke? Man? What sending me alone to that ungodly

105
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.279
place would have been bad enough? But my wife, Martin,

106
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.279
you want to be horsewhiped? Oh wait, please, I'll have

107
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.319
you know that as a result of your having let

108
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.319
her go there, You and your twisted sense of humor?

109
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.720
What what does the matter with you anyway, The poor

110
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:26.920
woman nearly went out of her mind, mister Stoker. He

111
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.519
still hasn't recovered from it. Sure, sure I got her

112
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.959
back to Dublin, all right, but the doctor's ordered her

113
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.920
to bed, had to give her strong sedatives. Now, I

114
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.399
warn you, young man, if she doesn't recover, mister Stoker,

115
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:41.680
won't bother Martin. The less you say, the less I

116
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:43.360
have to see of you from here on out, the better.

117
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:48.120
Here here are the keys to that place, and I'll

118
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:51.480
look here, mister goodbye Martin. If I ever see you again,

119
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:52.079
it will be in.

120
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:52.639
A corner of wall.

121
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:54.560
And believe me, mister Stoker, I don't know what you're

122
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.399
talking about. What are yourselfset about? Oh you don't, eh?

123
00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:59.480
Do you mean to say that something something wrong with

124
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.519
Devil's Stone? And do you mean to say that you

125
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:03.720
the owner of it? Don't know?

126
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:05.240
We don't know what, sir.

127
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:09.959
You don't know that ungodly places haunted? What you heard

128
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:25.279
me haunted? I positively have helped rights are haunted. But

129
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.759
that's what he said, mister matt Hunt, Yes, that's what

130
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:32.560
he said. Oh dear dear pig cured patterns.

131
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:34.040
So but really, really.

132
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:36.079
It's two amusing padly, all right, have its? You go

133
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:38.639
right ahead and laugh and I'll enjoin you. Well, that's

134
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.360
about an absurd excuse i've ever heard. Excuse me, sir,

135
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:43.680
you don't think he meant it? But the Devil' zone

136
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.920
is haunted? How could he haunted? Houses went out of

137
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.839
fashion one hundred years ago? No, evitts, it was simply

138
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:52.079
a silly excuse for not leasing the place, and now

139
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:53.560
that he and his wife have had a look at it,

140
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:56.319
But what an excuse? But does he think that we

141
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.360
Irish are nothing but a lot of stupid, superstitious idiots.

142
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.600
He's right, sir, what I mean, of course, not sir.

143
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:05.800
For anyhow, it's completely ridiculous. So we'll simply forget it,

144
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:08.839
forget about the stokers, place an advertisement in the papers,

145
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:12.879
and find ourselves some other tenets. Yes, sir, maybe we'd

146
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:15.160
best reduce the rate on it a bit. Perhaps that's

147
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:17.680
what scared them off. Oh that could be, sir, Or

148
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.439
who knows. And perhaps Devilstone isn't in as good condition

149
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:23.079
as we've been led to believe. But can you imagine

150
00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:26.480
anyone coming up with an excuse so patently absurd, so

151
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.000
completely asinine and so utterly foolish and expecting us to

152
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.960
believe him, to take him seriously. Yes, what she said, sir,

153
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:43.320
everts the truth. Now, yes, do you believe? Do you

154
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:45.159
think possibly?

155
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:45.759
Oh?

156
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:50.559
No, no, of course not. It couldn't be. Could that

157
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:53.200
have been what mister Kearney was talking about, or at

158
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:58.159
least implying mister Carney is here. But mister Kenney seems

159
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.039
to be a man of good sense. He was so

160
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.279
definite about it, though, and when he told me I

161
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:04.000
should have let them do what they wanted after they

162
00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:07.080
saw the pictures to sign a lease immediately before they

163
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.600
even saw a different stone. Yes, they would have, you know,

164
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:11.960
he would have signed and paid a couple of months rent.

165
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:13.799
And mister Carney said I was wrong and not letting

166
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:17.200
him do it and not getting what I could and immediately.

167
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.600
That would have been Would it have been completely ethically?

168
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:20.679
No?

169
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:22.960
Do you mean if something is wrong with the place

170
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:27.120
but haunted sir? No? No, of course, not ridiculous of course,

171
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:30.159
And yes, well there's one way to find out.

172
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:32.879
Yes, should the car to mister Kearney.

173
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:34.399
No, no, no, no. By doing that, I'd be admitting

174
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:37.759
that I might believe in such ridiculous possibility. No, no, EVAs,

175
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:39.840
you and I would drive up to Devilstone and we'll

176
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.879
investigate ourselves. Capitals are splendid earty.

177
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:44.480
You like it well?

178
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.759
Never having seen the place, Harry Riverson for mister Stoker's

179
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:51.080
reaction to it, it might be quite exciting, sir. Let's

180
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.200
see now if we leave right away, we should be

181
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:55.600
able to reach Devilstone by nightfall. Yes, sir, as I

182
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.679
watched the car and a couple of flashlights too, and

183
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:01.399
perhaps perhaps i'd better t goong a pistol just in case.

184
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:06.399
And of course, to conduct our investigation in the ghostly

185
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.559
place and style, we'll take along one of the dogs

186
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:13.960
with us, say Red Kim of Helscope. An excellentary tea, sir,

187
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:25.200
And now let's get underway. Yes, well, Evatts, it's the

188
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:27.960
man of the petrol station told us right. The ramban

189
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.080
Al mansion you now see before you is Devil's Stone.

190
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:35.039
Yes, I see.

191
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:37.360
You know what kind of a reaction is that.

192
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:41.039
I blow my old place? If I may say so?

193
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:49.039
Now, don't you start conjuring up some ghosts. Even kimply

194
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:54.279
finds nothing particularly friendly about it. Now, look, Hewittts, if

195
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.639
you're going to become superstitious about devils stone.

196
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:00.279
Oh no, sir, come along.

197
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:09.519
We'll have a look at Come along him, Come a way. Now,

198
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:11.440
let me see if I can unlock this door here,

199
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:15.840
so here, I hold a flash on it. Farture, God,

200
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:22.759
I believe this is the key. Well, the door is

201
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:23.519
already a jar.

202
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:27.200
Why, yes, sir, so I see.

203
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:37.159
Well, come along you two, Come on, he's protesting rather ami.

204
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:46.320
We'll just get him inside and we'll close the door. Yes, sir, him,

205
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.559
what the devil's the matter with you? Come now? Boy?

206
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:53.279
Are you a dog or a mouse who certainly is

207
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:54.320
pregnant of something?

208
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:54.480
So?

209
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:57.720
Yes, he doesn't look like a ghost hunter clouds down

210
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:01.320
there in the corner that way. But if I remember

211
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.440
the pictures correctly, this store here should lead to a

212
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:11.799
small out and close courts on my bood, it's just

213
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:16.600
another night bird, everts. Don't let it bother you now,

214
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.799
dear mind? Why telling me? Why why did you do that?

215
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:20.639
I beg your pardon?

216
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:21.440
What?

217
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:27.039
Why you're still over there at the door and you

218
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.080
I distinctly felt something or someone bumped against my shoulder,

219
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:36.759
and I thought someone walked on past me. Look here,

220
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:41.799
look here, mister Martin. Yes, what is it in the

221
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:45.759
mud out here in the court, shine your night on?

222
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:49.679
Answer where mine is? Why?

223
00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:50.480
Why? Yes?

224
00:12:51.360 --> 00:13:00.320
Footprints, but big ones and fresh do you see? More

225
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.600
of them will be made even as we look at him?

226
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.480
No, I get this normal there to make them.

227
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:10.080
Impossible?

228
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:12.039
I know it.

229
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:18.879
But you're righting, You're right back inside now and quickly

230
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:28.039
now whatever is making those footsteps can't follow us. It

231
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:32.600
does feel a bit safer in here, No wonder Kim

232
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:38.759
is frightened. There are things like that go along. But

233
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:46.120
why and how do you suppose her that one of

234
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.960
the old lamps could be lighted? Well, if they have

235
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.519
any oil in them, and it shouldn't take us long

236
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:55.360
to find out if they. Oh no, no, no, wait

237
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:57.480
a minute, now, what are we acting this way? For?

238
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:02.039
It's trickery, that's all it is. It's trickery by whom sir?

239
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:03.480
And why?

240
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:06.759
Well, that is something we shall have to find out. Now.

241
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:12.480
Where is Kim? Oh there he is still in the corner, right,

242
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:15.639
do you suppose, sir?

243
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:16.679
No?

244
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.159
Nonsense. Whoever it was that scared Stoker and his wife

245
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:23.039
out of here is trying to scare us now, and

246
00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:26.919
I mean to find him out. But the dog, sir,

247
00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:30.159
and if it's true about him, and then that there

248
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:35.200
is a ghost nonsense. We'll just look about here.

249
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:38.039
Where.

250
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:50.279
Now, what's the matter? The door behind you, it's opening

251
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:56.120
by yourself into a small room beyond a good Then

252
00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:02.679
we shall start our investigation in that room. Well are

253
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:12.200
you coming? M hm, oh clumsy, Now you've dropped your flashlight.

254
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:18.000
I didn't, sir, I didn't. It was no door in

255
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:24.279
the hand, it's what, honest, honest it was, sir, I

256
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:29.440
swear to sir. Now heah, but don't be silly. Go

257
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:31.120
on back in there and get it.

258
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.519
I really rather not say, if you don't worry.

259
00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:41.840
Oh, oh, the door it's close by itself. I know

260
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:42.600
we're locked in.

261
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:47.639
Oh we are it? Who did this?

262
00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:51.039
Who closed this door? Who's there?

263
00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:52.480
Who's there?

264
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:52.879
Are they?

265
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:54.399
Same?

266
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:55.440
What?

267
00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:57.519
Same thing?

268
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:01.720
What are you talking about? The same thing that struck

269
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:04.879
your shoulder, that made the footprints in the mud, and

270
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:08.679
that frightened poor Kim so badly, and frightened you too.

271
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.919
But I say, it's trickery, trickery, it has to be.

272
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:14.960
Who's doing this?

273
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:27.279
Answer me? Answer me? You de begun? What you a death.

274
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:29.000
Begun?

275
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:31.879
Yes?

276
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:39.679
Yes, I guess we'd better yes, said no.

277
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:43.799
No, it's not a bit of it. Please in the

278
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:47.399
heaven said no, We're going to stay right here, Evants

279
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:53.240
until we find out this begone. No, no, no, not

280
00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:58.360
until we learn just what's going on and where's that

281
00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:03.960
boys coming from? Hey tried to warn you, say, sir,

282
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:07.799
they tried the scars, that's all, try to scarce.

283
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:08.839
Yes.

284
00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:15.359
Yes, so that you leave this place. Why because if

285
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:19.839
you do not, you will suffer the same faith as

286
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:27.799
the dog Kim faith what you talking about?

287
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:31.799
Look, sir, the door is open.

288
00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:36.599
His look in the light of the flash that was

289
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:50.839
dropped in there. Kim Everts Evers, Kim is dead. Mister Martin,

290
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:53.960
Oh please, sir, I beg of you.

291
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:54.599
Who did this?

292
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:05.920
Who did this? Show yourself? Yes, I will show myself.

293
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:08.599
Cool what.

294
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:13.440
Look out of thin air?

295
00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:13.799
Yes?

296
00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:17.359
Yes, yes, I see him, mister rat. Yes, yes, yes,

297
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:21.200
this is all right, all right, believe come along, Everts,

298
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:29.319
come on, yes, yes, yes, yes, mister Conney. I thought

299
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:31.440
at first it was trickery, or perhaps some kind of

300
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:34.599
joint hallucination by Everts and myself, and used perhaps by

301
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:37.000
the gloomy atmosphere of the old house and whatever it

302
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:39.039
was that Stoker had said about his wife and her

303
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:42.079
being so terrifying, Oh my boy. But when it actually happened,

304
00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:44.599
that he actually appeared there before us out of thin air,

305
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:48.799
this misty, tenuous, infalpable figure. And then when we found

306
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:50.880
there wasn't so much as a little mark on Kim

307
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:53.240
the dog, who up to that moment had been as

308
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:56.400
healthy as I. Why didn't you tell me about whatever

309
00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:58.720
it is and that that that that inhabits that place

310
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:01.240
when I talked to you on the phone. I tried to, Timothy,

311
00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:04.160
but you cut me off. And after all, I've known

312
00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:07.440
about it only as a legend from hearsay. And it

313
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:10.559
was a huge man and powerful, this ghost. Yes, I

314
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:14.279
should say it was Jason O'Flynn, your ancestor, who built

315
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:16.799
the place for his wife. It was to have been

316
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:20.240
her castle, was yes, But the first day she sought

317
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:23.440
to enter into it, she fell tripped upon the threshold.

318
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:26.960
She stuck her head, and she never agained consciousness.

319
00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:27.720
I see.

320
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:30.640
The doctor who summoned did all he could for her

321
00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:33.200
there in a smaller room off the main salon.

322
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:35.200
Yes, but she died that night.

323
00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:38.640
And then Jason O'Flynn swore by the book that no

324
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:41.279
one would live in that house, But he until his

325
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:44.480
body turned to dust. He walked out of that little

326
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:48.319
room then and was never seen again and ever since

327
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:48.880
that time.

328
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:51.240
But now you know the rest.

329
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:56.240
Wait, Yes, until his body turns to dust his own words,

330
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.759
and he wasn't seen to leave. No, what do you

331
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:04.079
think enough, Timothy? I'm going back there, mister Corney tomorrow

332
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:12.559
in daylight. Hmm.

333
00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:14.079
I just don't get it.

334
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:18.160
And I certainly found no signs a pile of walls

335
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:20.000
or hidden panels on the floors.

336
00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:20.160
Above, sir.

337
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:26.079
And yet evers somewhere somewhere close to that small room. Hmm.

338
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:29.599
Don't you think it best we simply lay the place

339
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:34.920
and no one but he until his body turned to dust?

340
00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:35.720
What, sir?

341
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:38.880
And although there must have been other people about, he

342
00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:42.720
wasn't seen to leave. And to me, Evs, that means

343
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:47.440
only one thing somewhere in this house lies the key

344
00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:53.279
to this mystery. But we've been here most of the day, sudden,

345
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:56.799
we've found nothing. Let's getting done towards dusk. I know,

346
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:01.200
I know, I know, But until I find something, I'm.

347
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:02.720
Sorry, sir, that'll be helpful.

348
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:11.480
Old Rook's so badly a wrinkled it's no wonder you're tripped. Wait, Everts, listen,

349
00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:16.359
very very hollow floor, I should say, here, help me

350
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:22.119
fold this rug back, yes, sir, here know, and look

351
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:25.319
a sort of trap door and fitted on the floor,

352
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:31.319
so tighty yes. And this it looks like a seal

353
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:35.519
around the edge. Why, yes, sir, and a heavy lifted dream.

354
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:37.559
But then give me a hand. We'll see if we

355
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:44.960
can raise it. Now. Oh it's very tight shirt, however,

356
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.000
the seal is giving away a little. Put everything you

357
00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:56.720
have into it now. Ah, good, we made.

358
00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:59.359
It what it says.

359
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:04.319
It hard if they're coming up out of that place, yes, yes, Everts,

360
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:06.599
like that in the caves and the Kazakh comes under

361
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:07.359
some micans.

362
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:09.880
You mean we're all the parties and.

363
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:13.359
Yes, quickly now the flashlight. Give it to me here, sir.

364
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:17.839
Now now look look down there on the earth and

365
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:18.440
floor below.

366
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:19.759
Do you see how do you see?

367
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:25.279
The wrists are cut? He killed himself? No, no, it's he.

368
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:28.960
It's the ghost that we saw, yes.

369
00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:33.720
Everts, the body of Jason o'flymm and so perfectly preserved

370
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:38.079
as as though he died only moments ago. Oh, it's horrid.

371
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:44.880
Until his body turned to dust, he said, so we know. No, no,

372
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:49.359
that we phoned it, so please, sir, let's leave this place.

373
00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:55.599
Wait everts, wait, do you see now the fresh air

374
00:22:55.680 --> 00:23:03.400
has reached it? Oh? Oh, gosh God, Yes, the color

375
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:07.039
is leaving the cheeks. The pallor of death is taking

376
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:12.119
its place. And yes, now, at long last, the body

377
00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:16.559
will turn to dust. No longer will Jason O'Flynn walk

378
00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:31.960
the night, requiescat in patche sauce Spence, you've been listening

379
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:36.440
to devil Stone, starring Christopher Carrey and Neil Fitzgerald, and

380
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:46.640
written especially for suspense by Jonathan Bundy. The Spence is

381
00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:49.960
produced and directed by Fred Hendrickson. Heard in Tonight's story

382
00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:54.920
were Gilbert mack Water, Grise, Reynald Osborne and Frank Milano.

383
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:59.240
Music supervision by Ethel Huber, Sound patterns by Water, utto

384
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:05.240
by Fred Cusick. Associate director Bernie Seabrooks. This is do

385
00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:06.599
what meant speaking.

386
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:12.720
Ah. I don't know why, but even on a cold night,

387
00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:19.599
something chilling, it warms me in the strangest ways. I

388
00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:24.079
think you might agree with that observation. As you show

389
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:27.000
up here every night looking for a new fear and

390
00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:33.119
perhaps a little bit of camaraderie, I appreciate it quite

391
00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:38.119
a bit, my dear, But now it's getting getting later

392
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:41.960
and later and later. You need to return to your

393
00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:47.480
lovely home so you can lie your head gently on

394
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:48.720
that warm bed.

395
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:54.359
All I ask before you go is that as your

396
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:59.799
head is on that delicate pillow, you take a moment

397
00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:03.319
and be thankful for what you have.

398
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:09.119
I'll see you toorrow night. Until then goodbye.

399
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:23.519
Think I'm like you, into all all into again, robling,

400
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:29.240
mumbling break
