Oh, I'm so happy to have
you back. You know, the big

2
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:17.519

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:22.760
hope you're ready for it. I
hope you're prepared for it. Some fun

4
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:29.039
and some scares, and maybe seeing
some people you haven't seen in a while.

5
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:35.000
You know, as Halloween approaches,
the barriers they draw. Or was

6
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.880
that? Oh don't you worry?
No, no, no, no no,

00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:43.320
nothing to worry about it all excuse
me, no no, no,

8
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.920
they can't get in it. Just
relax, sit in my favorite chair.

9
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:54.600
I'm so happy you spun your radio
dimald until you found me here. Always

10
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.439
happy to have you sit with me
and drink a hot cup of tea as

11
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:00.719
I dust off a little something scary. But you know what, you know,

12
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:08.359
since the seasons getting so intense now, perhaps i'll play a couple extra

13
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.319
ones for you, including one that's
very special to me in my collection.

14
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:17.200
Collection. You'll enjoy it, don't
you worry? Don't you worry one bit?

15
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.319
What's that? Oh, I'll put
another log in the fire. So

16
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:27.599
let's get to the stores after a
quick break to sell you something iron eis

17
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:56.560
yeast resents lights out everybody? It
is later then, oh thing, this

18
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.760
is our Jobler, bringing you another
in our series of stories of unusual,

19
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:05.840
and once again we caution you.
These lights out stories are definitely not for

20
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.479
the timid soul. So we tell
you calmly and very sincerely, if you

21
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:15.319
frighten, easily turn off your radio
now. But if you're fascinated by the

22
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:22.240
mysterious, the fantastic, the unearthly, then anticipate chills in our story of

23
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:35.199
Poultergeist. Dingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh what

24
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.039
fun it is? You right in
a one horse open slay? Hey,

25
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:45.120
that would swell. Now, let's
go to town Saint Louis woman with her

26
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:51.599
diamond kick in that man or round? No, stop that, kay?

27
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:57.120
What's the matter my scaring the horse
seems like a sacrilege singing a song like

28
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:01.360
that out here, this beautiful,
clean, known blue sky. Well,

29
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:05.599
what's wrong with a hot song to
keep us warm? If you think the

30
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:07.479
Saint Louis Blues is going to dirty
up the snow? You ought to hear

31
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:12.280
Frankie and Johnny the way I sing
it. Oh stop it, kay,

32
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.400
You're not funny at all. Why
can't you enjoy the fresh air without that

33
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:21.199
cabaret sort of thing. Oh,
just an old fashioned gale Eh, Florence,

34
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.840
how about you, Edna. Don't
you like my songs either? You

35
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.759
haven't said anything for the last five
minutes. Well, I I haven't been

36
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.240
listening to you, to tell the
truth. I love to watch the snow

37
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:36.159
sort of fall along under the sleigh
when you say that, Gal, smile,

38
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:38.560
Gosh, you ever see more snow
in your life? The man at

39
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.560
the hotel said, had been snowing
on and off up here for two weeks.

40
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.360
I think coming out here to the
country is the best thing we three

41
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.479
have done. Is we started rooming
together. Higging in the Snow's terribly healthy.

42
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:52.360
Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. The healthier I get, the

43
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:57.680
worse I feel crazy. She does
say the funniest things, doesn't she.

44
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:02.560
I always say that, Chaoti,
tellelujah. We're here. Is this as

45
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.599
far as we go? Drivers?
That's right, Miss, can't go no

46
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:11.039
further down this road account of the
drift. Oh my goodness, the drifts

47
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.159
are too deep for a horse hocking
we walk through them. My second emotion,

48
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.399
where you young ladies don't have to
worry none, so long as you

49
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:21.000
keep going down the valley over there? Snow ain't piled up that way all

50
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.639
the way to my Jenkins. Well, that's marvelous. Come on, girls,

51
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:29.639
let's get started. So long,
take care of yourselves. Girls.

52
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:39.279
Come listen to the snow talking at
us. It's very dry snow our feet,

53
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.839
red particles of it together, and
the friction makes it sound kind of

54
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:48.160
scary. Why, well, I
don't know it. The snow was sort

55
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:51.439
of trying to talk to I mean, as if it was angry at our

56
00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:56.720
trespassing. Hey, don't tell me
we're trespassing. I don't want any country

57
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:01.360
square taking any potshots that might Constitution
Amendment with rock salt. No, thank

58
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.800
you, don't talk nonsense. Kay, we're not trace to seek. Why

59
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:09.120
this pass through the valley here over
to missus Jenkins house is the favorite hike

60
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.600
of everyone who comes up this way
during the winter. What's missus Jenkins got

61
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.879
anyway that makes people walk their feet
off? Wait? Do you taste her

62
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.240
cooking? Eat? Oh? Boy, let's go. It's awfully quiet out

63
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:24.920
here, isn't it. Oh that's
the glory of it. I've had the

64
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:29.639
aurar of the subway in my ears
so long. Okay, don't walk so

65
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:31.360
fast, Come on, Look what
I've found. Oh, come on,

66
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.000
please, let me take your arm. I'm getting out of breath. But

67
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:40.839
take it easy, there's no hurry. Well what is it? Kay?

68
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:45.319
Look through the circle of trees here. Look what I discovered. Well,

69
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:50.120
isn't that interesting. It's a sort
of a natural amphitheater. Sure, say,

70
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:55.759
who is this guy, Daniel Boom? What's an amphitheater? Well,

71
00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:00.240
that means an oval circling place with
rising tears of seats, you know,

72
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.639
like that place we went to for
the horse show. Back in the times

73
00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:06.759
of the Greeks, they had outdoor
theaters, used to places just like this

74
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:11.839
where the ground sloped up and made
a sort of a natural arena or stage

75
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.519
below theater. That's an idea.
Sit down, gals, and I'll give

76
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.040
you a special performance of the k
Folly. It's almost snowy here. I'll

77
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:26.160
trample it down with my spring dance. Well, come sweep dancing in the

78
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:30.920
snow. If I had that girl's
energy. She's really grateful, isn't she.

79
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.360
I'll bet if she run on the
stage. Okay, okay, okay,

80
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:38.759
did you hurt yourself? Oh?
Did I land on my dignity?

81
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:44.399
Here? Give me a hand here, I'll help you there? Did I

82
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.600
take a flop? Did you hurt
yourself badly? I'll live in the world.

83
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.600
Did I trip over? Oh?
No, wonder look at that rock

84
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:56.279
under the snow. No wonder,
I did a nosed dives. Oh my,

85
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.879
the rock's like that all over.
A person could break their girls.

86
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.319
What's the matter? What is it? Okay? The rock you tripped over,

87
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:08.680
it's it's not a rock. What
are you talking about? Of course

88
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:12.000
it's a rock. Well, yes, but it's something something more than that.

89
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:17.759
It's a tombstone. Tombstone. Oh
no, it can't be to yourself,

90
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:25.000
it says here liars Bury, the
remains of one who restless in life,

91
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:30.079
storry anymore? Stop? And all
these other stones laying flat on the

92
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:34.120
ground. There are tombstones too,
Yes, who what a place to fix

93
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:39.680
a dan? What's the matter?
What you scream for? Kay? You

94
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.480
danced on the grave? What you
danced on the grave? I saw you.

95
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:49.040
I thought you do it? You
dance on the grave? Shop in

96
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:55.839
stop and I stop. I haven't
take control yourself. Okay, So sorry

97
00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:00.519
for you, you dance. I
haven't stopped talking like that. I danced

98
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.399
on a green of course she did. It was perfectly accidental. What if

99
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:09.240
it was? What else? The
poligeist? The worst? Edna Hanson?

100
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.240
What are you talking about? What's
that word you just used? Hold the

101
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:18.000
guist? What have you done?
You superstitious little pool. You don't stop

102
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.800
talking that way, I'm gonna slap
your face. What's the matter with you?

103
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:22.959
I didn't do anything. You walked
on there, you danced on the

104
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.600
grain. Be sensible. We all
walked on graves, but it was purely

105
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.160
accidental. Yeah, we had no
intention of desecrating none. It doesn't matter,

106
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.759
It doesn't matter. The polar come, I know, what's the use?

107
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.120
Graz Eda? What are you talking
about? What's the poltergeist? Are

108
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.039
you so frightened about? My father? He told me, if you walk

109
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.039
on a grate, if you dance
on the grave, the polar guys?

110
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.240
Poltergeist? What what is a polter
guy? Evil spirits? She comes out

111
00:08:50.279 --> 00:09:00.639
of the grave. It kills and
destroyer. It'll kill us, but won't

112
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:05.200
get me. She's gone insane.
I'll get her. Okay, catch her,

113
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.399
hennah, and don't run away.
Nothing will hurt you nothing. Look

114
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:15.200
out, okay, okay, what
happened? Sat Stone? Did here?

115
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.919
Eddler? Keednah? Headen open your
eyes, blood flood all over her face.

116
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:26.919
Can't go through that stone, hood
through it. I don't know it

117
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:45.720
came from the grazyyard. Oh,
girls, may get easy, May get

118
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:50.480
easy. She won't die. She
won't. Oh no, of course not.

119
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.480
And you're sure that its color isn't
pricked? Oh, absolutely not.

120
00:09:54.679 --> 00:10:01.360
Maybe a little confussion, that's all. Well, it's almost five our train.

121
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:03.480
Can we get someone to help us
carry her down to the station so

122
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:07.720
we can get her on board?
Bored, I'm telling you that little friend

123
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.919
of yours shouldn't be moved out of
bed for a week. If you do

124
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.120
well, it might be just too
bad. Oh what'll we do? You

125
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.320
go home? Kay, I'll stay
with her. Oh no, you won't.

126
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.240
I'm not leaving you here alone in
this gosh for taken place if you

127
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.200
stay. I stayed too, Kay, Please be sensible. Why should we

128
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:30.519
all lose our jobs when you if
you'll excuse me, you ladies, I've

129
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.200
got to be on my way.
Oh yes, of course. Answer.

130
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:37.039
Is there anything more you can do? Fred a doctor? Henny mediciniss something?

131
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.519
Nope, I've done all I can
do. She's sleeping comfortable now,

132
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.440
er miss yes, doctor the constable
sick too, you know, and he's

133
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:50.799
sort of depending on me to keep
things straight. Just how did you say

134
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:54.440
that little friend of yours get hurt? Well, it was just the way

135
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.919
we explained, doctor, That rock
came flying. Yes, yes, I

136
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:05.519
know, but who through the rock? We we don't know why that's true.

137
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.519
Doctor, We don't know, but
somebody threw it. You can't change

138
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.000
facts. Somebody through the rock that
cracked her head. I Heaven's say so.

139
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.919
Man, you don't think we did
it, Miss I did. Excited

140
00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.039
doctor, You've got to believe us. It happened just the way we said,

141
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.240
all at once. That rock came
flying through the air from the direction

142
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.919
of the graveyard. It struck edman, and we just didn't see who threw

143
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:31.559
it. All right? If that's
your story, Oh you better stay in

144
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.919
your rooms here. I mean,
you're better not believe it until the constable

145
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.039
Tony's feet and had a chance to
talk with you. I'll be back in

146
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:45.919
a few hours and see how the
girl is. He doesn't believe us.

147
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.919
What difference does it make? We
know what we saw, but what did

148
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:58.600
receive? She was running she fell. Okay, Well, let's not fool

149
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.639
ourselves. There was no one there
to throw that rock. There must have

150
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:09.240
been there wasn't stop saying that.
Aren't you brave enough to face thanks?

151
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:15.759
There wasn't any place for anyone to
hide. I saw that stone. It

152
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:20.720
seemed to come down out of the
air so slowly. Florence, if you

153
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:26.399
don't stop talking like you remember what
what eesa? It throws things? Stop

154
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:30.799
looking at me like that. He
had given me the jitters, she said,

155
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:35.200
the poltergeist throws things. Spirit of
evil, Lawrence Robbit, you gone

156
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:39.039
crazy too? Would we laugh at
things like that? What right have we

157
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.440
got to laugh? How do we
know? There aren't powers? We can't

158
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.000
see or understand powers of evil?
At revenge an insult, just like an

159
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.639
evil man? Kay, how do
we know? What are you talking like

160
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.639
that for? What are you trying
to scare me for? You? You're

161
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.120
supposed to be the most intelligent one
of us, all you with your college

162
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:03.000
degree. Sure, sure, I
danced on the grave, but the debtor

163
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:05.360
did, and they can't revenge a
thing. I'm not afraid. I'm not

164
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:09.440
afraid of anything. I tell you, he said, come on, he

165
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:13.960
know we're coming to you. Don't
be afraid. We're coming off of the

166
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:18.840
door floors. It's not locked.
Don't it won't let me? What is

167
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:31.799
it? What? No? What
on your head? Oh? Oh,

168
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:45.080
oh, oh hey, what's going
on here? I run a decent place

169
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:56.639
and I don't want you to go. Oh. The girl on the bed,

170
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:07.360
her head, it's crushed flat in
by our rock God in heaven.

171
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:31.799
It's not a rock, it's a
toomstone. I wish I could cry,

172
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:41.759
but I haven't got any more tears. Laurence Darling, please, you'll kill

173
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:48.120
yourself if you keep my mind fat
All this horrible knife would only end.

174
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:54.200
It was my fault mine. I
was the wonder gun around here. She

175
00:14:54.240 --> 00:15:05.360
didn't want to go. She hate
the country I made cause I no,

176
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:11.159
no, you're not the one to
blame. I I danced Summach Gray.

177
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:22.679
But she was so good, so
sue, Oh, why you're right.

178
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:28.399
It wasn't right for it to be
her. I did. It's not her,

179
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:39.840
I did. I danced Smmach Gray. I dance Summach Gray. You

180
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:41.399
can't deny what you see with your
own eyes. But I tell you,

181
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:46.720
Doc, nobody could have carried that
tombstone up the steps without me seeing him?

182
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:50.240
Could they? But there it is, ain't it? Yeah? There

183
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:58.919
it is either somebody's playing a terrible
joke, or you don't have to say

184
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:02.480
it, Doc, I know,
it's just the trouble. You don't know,

185
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:07.159
and I don't know, and nobody
knows. Yeah, and and that

186
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:12.080
tombstone, Well, what about the
tombstone? I I ain't quite sure,

187
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:17.320
but that's a tombstone out of the
old burying grounds up at the bend.

188
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:19.519
You're crazy. No, I ain't
either, But that place is a good

189
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:25.320
three miles from here. Yeah,
I know. Who could have cutted a

190
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:30.960
heavy stone like that for three miles? Yeah? Who stop looking like that,

191
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:34.960
you flapiared, old fool human hands
carried that stone in here and killed

192
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:40.240
that girl. Sure, and the
consta will find out who did it.

193
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:41.679
To minute he's on his feet again, you wait and see. No,

194
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:45.679
he won't, Doc, you're smarter
than me and all that, But all

195
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:51.120
this time you're wrong. There ain't
nobody that takes in breath and leaves out

196
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:53.879
breath like you and me are.
The Constable's gonna find out who killed that

197
00:16:55.039 --> 00:17:00.159
girl. You know that, Doc, though, stop talking? And if

198
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.919
I was hearing, this night was
over. It's been a terrible night,

199
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:19.440
terrible terrible clock chickens, kittens,
yeah, I know. I've been sitting

200
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:25.000
here listening to it. I can't
stand it anymore. I'll stop it.

201
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:32.000
Why i'd bother Come on to bed, kay, Please, there's no use

202
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:37.200
sitting there. It won't help her. Yeah, nothing can help her,

203
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:45.960
But maybe I can help you me. It was my fault mine. I

204
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:49.039
was the reason that happened. It
killed her and it'll kill you and me

205
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:53.599
too on my side. No,
don't say that. It's true. But

206
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:59.640
why should you be here. I'm
to blame, not you. Listen,

207
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.720
I'll go out there there, out
there in the graveyard. What I'll talk

208
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:07.440
to it. I'll tell it I
didn't mean to do it. Let me

209
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.559
know where I was. Maybe somehow
it'll hear. Listen to me, and

210
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:15.400
then it won't hurt you. No, no, I won't let you go

211
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.200
out there. It'll kill I'll kid
you two for no, I'll hold you.

212
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:25.079
You can't go, you can't.
All right, come on to bed,

213
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:30.039
okay, please in the morning.
The morning things will be different.

214
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.160
But if one thing will hurt us, and then they're right outside the door,

215
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:36.559
they won't let anything get at us. Oh, please, Kate,

216
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:45.119
please come to bed. Yeah,
well, we'll pray, pray, I

217
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:52.000
I don't exactly know how. Don't
say anything anything like this. Now I

218
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:56.079
lay me down to sleep. I
pray the Lord my soul to keep.

219
00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:00.799
If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to

220
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:11.039
take. Now you, if I
should die before I wait, I pray

221
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:27.799
the Lord my soul to take.
Okay, okay, are you sleep?

222
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:34.599
I can't sleep anymore. Okay,
tomorrow, I mean when it gets light

223
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:40.319
and everything. Do you think people
will believe us? Do you think's okay?

224
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.960
I'm not quite sure what happened.
I always used to be so sure

225
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:55.880
about things. And now I okay, okay, where are you? Okay?

226
00:19:55.960 --> 00:20:03.279
Where the window? She went to? Out the window? She's gone

227
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:11.680
out there to the graveyard to talk
to it. Okay, why did you

228
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:17.519
go? Why did you go?
I got there too. We should be

229
00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:26.279
so frightened out there alone. I'll
go too. I'll go too. Oh

230
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:37.000
so cold and no, so sharp, cutting my legs. Oh? Why

231
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:41.160
did you go out there? Okay? Why did you? I've got to

232
00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:49.799
find you? Wind? Oh,
what doesn't the wind stop? Blow?

233
00:20:51.200 --> 00:21:02.920
Blow? That winter wind? Though
I'm not so unkind, I've got to

234
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:10.839
find your kid. We are to
fucking you. It's snowy. I love

235
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:15.599
snow, and it didn't like snow. Where are you, kay? Where

236
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:22.880
are you? I lost my way? I've lost the road. Where are

237
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:34.720
you? Okay? Okay, I
heard you. I heard you. I'm

238
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:38.279
coming to UK. We'll talk to
it. We'll talk to it together.

239
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:45.440
We can't know. We didn't meet
any harm, but we can't. We

240
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.079
can't help her. Okay, we
can't help Edna. But I'm coming to

241

246
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:52.200
out the window like that in the
middle of the night. They must have

247
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:55.720
gone crazy, the both of them. Let's not worry about that. Now

248
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:59.480
we've got to find him. Yeah, what is it, Doc? What

253
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:30.039
footprints. Hellop ahead, hello doc. Where we're getting pretty close to the

254
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:37.680
old burying grounds. Well maybe i'll
look here, Doc, let's not be

255
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:42.119
fools. Let's wait a morning.
Ah. Let those frightened girls freeze to

256
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:45.960
death. Get along, But doc, as you come with me or the

257
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:49.799
whole channel. No, but a
yellow livered no good yard, All right,

00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:56.200
all right, you don't have to
get so sore. Doc. Hello?

00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:08.960
Hello? Oh? Anybody up there? Hello? Doc? Doc?

260
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:15.839
Look what there they are up ahead? Glory be they're alive. They're both

261
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:22.279
often. Come on, doc,
duc look at them. That's the burying

262
00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:26.839
ground up there, and they're dancing
dancing on the graves. But they must

263
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:33.559
be out of their heads. Come
on, we've got to stop, doc,

264
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:47.000
Doc wait for me. Oh dog
it it's dark again. Where are

266
00:24:55.039 --> 00:25:03.519
Yes, they've stopped dancing. Did
did they ever dance? What are you

267
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:07.799
talking about? Doc? We saw
him, We saw him dancing in this

268
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:15.839
place with our own eyes. Did
we the moonlight? Here it comes again?

269
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:30.160
See with your eyes again. Oh. Both of the girls froze stiff

270
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:49.079
to the ground, each with her
head crushed their tombstone. You know,

271
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:56.559
my dear, I knew a poltergeist
myself once. I think he still owes

272
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:03.400
me a tenor as I remember,
oh, of my younger years, of

273
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:08.599
my youth, youth, a kind
of youth. Anyway, are you warm?

274
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:15.400
I've tried to keep the fire going
as the night gets colder and colder.

275
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.680
But I know, I know,
I know, we can only be

276
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:26.720
so warm in the night night,
in the darkness. But we certainly do

277
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:33.599
try. Oh how we try.
Well, unfortunately for you, or maybe

278
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:40.240
maybe fortunately in the back of our
minds. I have another, a scary

279
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:47.119
little tale all about sleep, the
thing you and I don't seem to be

280
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:53.279
adapted getting. So please put your
feet back up, relax, enjoy warm

281
00:26:53.400 --> 00:27:00.079
beverage. I've got you all as
well. They can't get in, so

282
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:10.160
let's listen to the story. After
a little consumeris and now another tale well

283
00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:22.079

just one minute, Sleeps four Children by

Ralph Bell of Eugene fretzis. Hello, I'm burgess Meredith. Did you know

285
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.039
there are over three million persons in
America who are hard of hearing and not

286
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:34.319
doing anything about it? Maybe you
are some member of your family is hard

287
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:38.519
of hearing. Unfortunately, I've never
had this problem. Some of my friends

288
00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:42.640
and family have a few years ago, your excuse might have been that you

289
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:48.039
didn't want to wear a bulky hearing
aid. But today it's a different story.

290
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:52.839
I've just seen the new Super sixty
hearing glasses developed by Maco Electronics.

291
00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:56.480
If I hadn't known they were hearing
glasses, I would have guessed them to

292
00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:00.839
be regular eyeglasses. It's a wonderful
way for any hard of hearing person to

293
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:06.759
conceal a hearing loss. There are
styles for both men and women. For

304
00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:17.960
afraid you won't get the chance.
What are you going to do what I

305
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:25.400
did to the others? Others?
You kill them, that's right? But

306
00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:32.200
why why me? Because you're all
alone tonight like they were. No,

307
00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:47.519
you don't please, don't please.
And for the fourth time, last night,

308
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:49.960
the suburban town of Woodlake was the
scene of a brutal and meaningless murder.

309
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:53.359
The latest victim was missus leland Worth, thirty four years old, who

310
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:57.319
has found strangle in the living room
by police late last night. All four

311
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:03.079
victims have been homeowners and some Woodlake's
recently completed housing developments. Local authorities admitted

312
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:08.079
today that they were still in the
dark. Marauder however, the search is

313
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:15.200
local authorities still in the dark.
It's just terrible. We are the police

314
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:18.400
gonna do something? Wow, they
only got eight men on the forest.

315
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:22.440
Woodlake ain't like the big city.
Beginning to wish we were back in the

316
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.039
big city. At least I felt
safe in my apartment at night. Oh,

317
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:27.559
now, city's no place to bring
up a little girl like you were,

318
00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:32.920
Stephanie. Mister Gordon working late again
tonight, Yes, it didn't come

319
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:36.720
text time bus he's part of the
year. Well, sooner or later they're

320
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:40.880
gonna catch up with whoever's doing these
killings and then everybody can relax. Oh,

321
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.279
should have fixed Stephanie some breakfast.
You gotta let me see if I

322
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:48.640
can coax her in opening the bathroom
door first. That's a real cute trick,

323
00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:52.680
locking herself in the bathroom every time
she gets mad at you, Stephanie,

324
00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:59.200
do you hear me of that?
That child needs is to get her

325
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:04.000
bottom blistered? A few times she'd
stop her foolish Jeffy unlocked that door and

326
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:10.680
come down this minute. Do you
hear me? All right, young lady,

327
00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:18.319
I'm calling her father. Hello,
it's me Walter. How do you

328
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.720
feel exhausted? Honey? I couldn't
get back to sleep out of those police

329
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:27.000
sirens woke me last night. Not
a bump on my head kept starving.

330
00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:30.880
I'm sorry, dear. I bought
Stephanie out about leaving a roller skates in

331
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.240
the hall like that, so you
can just guess where she is now.

332
00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:40.240
Bathroom. Yeah, I guess I'll
have to take the lock off the door.

333
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:45.119
Ain't knows about the murder. No, Walter, I'm fighting about staying

334
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.839
here alone tonight. Look Allan,
I don't worry about I follow the Wood

335
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.960

ask Rooser to stay over or at least

337
00:31:57.119 --> 00:32:04.920
until I get home. Well,
uh, Walter, your daughter's finally come

338
00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:07.920

you. Okay, put a right here,

339
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:12.559

Hello daddy, last lady, how's
my live? I'll fine, daddy.

342
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:25.480
Oh that's good, Stephanie. Take
it easy on your mother. Locking

343
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:29.960

nice thing to do, she yelled at

344
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:32.279

351
00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:14.519

old residents have been deputized temporarily since these

352
00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:19.119
things started around here. Have time
for a cup of coffee, Never say

A coup of coffee, Rosa. Well,

feller I told him about. I've

355
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:35.680
seen him hanging around these parts.
Probably some delinquent from one these new families.

356
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:39.880
There could be Well, you know
you was born on that chicken farm.

ain't likely to try to break in where

364
00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:16.480
there's men poked around them. Last
three houses, the women were all alone.

365

Rose and mister Gordon just suggested the
same thing. Now, I'm sorry,

McCloskey cross the road to stay with her.

Hello, hello Walter? Is that you?

00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:53.079

394
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:01.199

Worth was all alone in the house.

00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:12.440
All the people have been killed,

so, aren't you sure? I keep

403
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:42.840
hearing strange noises outside, but I
guess that's just my imagination. I'll be

00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:47.480

00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:59.960

right ahead and by the way road.

420
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:17.159
You didn't see anybody near the house? No? Why Well, Stephanie thought

421
00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:22.280
she heard something outside. It might
have been me coming up the driveway.

422
00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:27.800
She's still awake. I've never seen
anyone resist sleep. I gotta go up

00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:46.239
before wetting hair. Rub in one
minute, add water, lather one minute,

444
00:41:46.440 --> 00:41:52.440
rinse one minute. Every trace of
dandruf goes down the drain three minutes.

445
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:55.800
With pitch on Sightly, Dandruf's gone. Pitch can also leave your hair

446
00:41:55.920 --> 00:42:10.840
up to thirty five percent brighter.
Fitch den drippromover shampoo, thro a word?

447

What has a skate swing on the
floor again? Come in the kitchen.

00:42:20.559 --> 00:42:30.880

00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:04.039
You hit me? I'm sorry?
Where are you going? Get back

the bedroom and I'm never coming here.

455

And he come back. Don't go

garden. I just have to take it

459
00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:38.360

Pepper, you better let me answer it.

460
00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:43.719
All right, all right, you

00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:50.760

00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:58.400

00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:02.559
walden. Well, I have a
file, Honey, hold out of it.

465
00:44:02.639 --> 00:44:07.760
I'll be right back. Hang up, but he's hang up. He

466
00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:10.840
didn't finish talking. He'll only called
that. Yeah. Well, I'll just

467
00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:14.760
take the phone off the hook and
then he'll get nothing but a business.

468
00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:19.599
Why, mister Pepler, why are
you doing this? What harm have I

469
00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:23.079
done you? You're crowding me,
all of you newcomers, hedging me and

470
00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:28.239
bulldozing the trees down, spoiling the
land with your fencing, you cigar box

471
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:31.320
houses, bankrupting us all with your
taxes for schools and roads and such.

472
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:36.239
My attacks have gone up double since
you said and people started flooting in here.

473
00:44:36.760 --> 00:44:38.599
That's the kind of harm you've done
me. Joe Finny sad. We'll

474
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:43.159
call it a knife. Hello,
Alan, I'm sorry. Well hello,

475
00:44:43.679 --> 00:44:45.400
Maybe when people like you find it
ain't safe here, you know you'll go

476
00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:49.679
back where you came from. Ellen. That's why I killed his word and

477
00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:52.280
the others, and I'll keep on
killing till you're all gone. But Lord

478
00:44:52.320 --> 00:45:01.079
Ellen, Hello, Hello, Operator
I haven't take operator Hello. In just

479
00:45:01.199 --> 00:45:15.320
a moment, we will return for
the concluding act of suspense. Thirsty people

480
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:21.880
everywhere prefer ice cold pepsicola and because
it's light, it refreshes without feeling jolie

481
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:27.199
desociable. I am okay. Pepsi
is a favorite of thirsty people from Maine

482
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:31.039
to Hawaii, from Alaska to Florida
li. It's perfect for parties or picnics.

483
00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:37.119
So serve pepsi to your guests.
This is the sociable part. Keep

484
00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:42.360
plenty of pepsi, ice cold and
ready. Remember it goes fast because everybody

485
00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:50.840
likes pepsi. Thing still sounds more
inviting, nay de sociable and love keep

486
00:45:51.199 --> 00:46:07.559
pupful to day with plenty drink like
refreshing them sociable have but singing doesn't say

487
00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:12.079
pick up an extra carton of pepsi
today. Better yet, get a case

488
00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:25.920
you do that? Why Rose,
mister, she was born here in Woodlake

489
00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:30.280
like yourself. Why kill her?
I didn't expect to find her here.

490
00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:34.119
She saw me, and she'd have
told now there's no use you're back in

491
00:46:34.159 --> 00:46:37.639
the way. Where are you gonna
run? Is? He nearly tripped over

492
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:43.679
that stage. I just put it
on and start hollering for help. Come

493
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:57.840
here, don't strip Tiffany, Jeanie, where are you? Anthony? Where

494
00:46:57.880 --> 00:47:02.880

of the bathroom quickly, Jeffany unlocked the

495
00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:09.360
door. Hurry now, please,
Keeffany. There is no time to explain.

496
00:47:09.480 --> 00:47:15.559
I'll open the door before it's too
late. You are right, please

497
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:22.079
Tiffany, Please, Jeffany, I
am sorry and I'll never pise you getting

498
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:27.159

499
00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:30.639
hurry, We've got to get away
from here. You ain't going nowhere,

500
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:34.400
Keffany. Don't turn a lock.
Don't come out staying there. It won't

501
00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:39.840
urn no good. Who's the devil? Please? Please? I'm getting out

502
00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:46.280
of here. Hey there it goes
to the window. Sorry you are,

503
00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:57.119
oh mis garden's garden. I'm up

504
00:47:57.159 --> 00:48:00.920
Gordon? Yes? Here a husband
call listen. We got here as soon

505
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:04.440
as we could. He heard you
and Butler over the phone, but he

506
00:48:04.519 --> 00:48:07.239
took the phone off so to get
busy signal. That's where Butler made a

507
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:15.280
mistake. The connection isn't broken until
the calling party hangs up. Oh you're

508
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:19.079
a little girl, all right,
Yes, it's all right, dear,

509
00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:49.480
you can come out now. Suspense
you've been listening to sleep is for children,

510
00:48:50.039 --> 00:48:53.519
A story written for suspense by Ralph
Bell and Eugene Francis. In a

511
00:48:53.599 --> 00:48:57.480
moment, the names of our players, and a word about next week's story

512
00:48:57.559 --> 00:49:08.280
of suspense. Are you all out
of tune because you're irregular? Then help

513
00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:17.079
yourself get back in tune with Kellogg's
All Brand. You'll feel right on pitch

514
00:49:17.199 --> 00:49:22.039
when Kellogg's All Brand goes gently to
work. Relieves constipation due to lack of

515
00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:28.280
bulk by supplying your system with bulk

516
00:49:28.400 --> 00:49:32.039
bowl full of Kellogg's All Brand with
milk helps put you right back in tune

517
00:49:32.519 --> 00:49:37.440
the natural way, the good tasting
way too. The fact is Kellogg's All

518
00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:45.079
Brand is the one brand cereal that
combines proved effectiveness with appetizing taste and crispness.

519
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:50.079
It never gets mushy and milk,

522
00:50:00.559 --> 00:50:28.519
Ogs All Brands at your Grocer's Herd. In Tonight's story were else but Eric

523
00:50:28.840 --> 00:50:34.719
as Ellen Gordon, Ralph Bell as
Walter Gordon, Bill Adams as mister Butler,

524
00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:38.920
and Betty Guard as Rosa. Others
in our cast were Ruth Tobin and

525
00:50:39.119 --> 00:51:01.039
Sarah Fussell. I know, I
know, I know. By now,

526
00:51:01.159 --> 00:51:04.960
I know this would be the time
in the evening when I tell you it's

527
00:51:05.440 --> 00:51:09.679
okay to go home, to go
to your warm bed, to prove that

528
00:51:09.880 --> 00:51:15.239
sleep is not only for children.
But no, no, no, I

529
00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:21.920
think Tonight's special specials every night special
with a friendly So why not why get

530
00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:27.119
comfortable. I'll see if there's something
to eat around here, no promises,

531
00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:32.400
and I'll show you another one,
another story I've always enjoyed, one that

532
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:42.239
always brings me that that feeling,
that feeling where you're so close to death

533
00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:49.199
that you most certainly feel alive.
Yes, in many ways, this story,

534
00:51:49.320 --> 00:51:53.760
honestly, it reminds me of you
and I how you come to me

535
00:51:53.880 --> 00:52:00.960
late at night, ready for a
new tale. How much I appreciate your

536
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:07.639
time with me. This story is
about a visit, visit of a different

537
00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:12.480
time and a different manner. Man. So go go drink your tea,

538
00:52:12.599 --> 00:52:38.000
your tea, and we'll listen after
this commercial. I was in my twenty

539
00:52:38.079 --> 00:52:43.440
second year and I just left college. I was free to choose a career,

540
00:52:43.599 --> 00:52:46.480
and I choose it too quickly.
Afterwards, I abandoned it with great

541
00:52:46.519 --> 00:52:51.599
speed. But I've never regretted the
two years I spent in Cambridge as a

542
00:52:51.639 --> 00:52:57.119
student of Divinity. Cambridge for the
lovers of woods and trees has changed for

543
00:52:57.199 --> 00:53:00.480
the worst since those days, of
course, but I remember the Cambridge.

544
00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:06.280
I want to remember. One gray
December afternoon, I went to the town

545
00:53:06.320 --> 00:53:09.519
of Medford. I was late in
starting back for my lodgings, and as

546
00:53:09.599 --> 00:53:13.960
dusk was falling, I came to
a narrow road I did not recognize.

547
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:17.360
I was about three miles away from
home, and I reckoned. The road

548
00:53:17.440 --> 00:53:22.480
offered me as good as shortcut as
any. The road was obviously seldom used,

549
00:53:22.079 --> 00:53:27.199
the wheel ruts looked old, and
after ten minutes walking I came to

550
00:53:28.119 --> 00:53:34.880
the house and so began one of
the strangest and for a time, one

551
00:53:34.880 --> 00:53:43.360
of the most terrifying episodes in the
Whole of My Life, Biotechs, the

552
00:53:43.480 --> 00:53:52.039
New Soak and pre Washbowder presents Beyond
Midnight by Michael McCay. Just soak,

553
00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:59.280
just soak in biotechs. Just soak, just soak in biotechs. Just soak,

554
00:53:59.719 --> 00:54:02.519
just soak in biotechs. If you
have wondered how to get your washing

555
00:54:02.639 --> 00:54:08.679
really stain free, understand this.
Biotechs removes the stains and dirt. Washing

556
00:54:08.800 --> 00:54:14.840
won't just soak, just soak in
biotechs. Stains, grass, stains,

557
00:54:15.039 --> 00:54:19.679
tiresome color and cut stains, ingrain, dirt, soil and grime out.

558
00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:22.719
They all come. And you don't
stir a finger. Just soak, just

559
00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:28.840
soak in biotechs. Biotechs with natural
enzymes is the pre wash powder with the

560
00:54:28.960 --> 00:54:34.199
most enzymes to give you extra pre
wash power. Absolutely no rubbing, no

561
00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:37.800
color loss, no fabric. Weare
use it for cottons, silks, woolen,

562
00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:43.840
synthetics, use it to make new
again. Soaking in biotechs removes the

563
00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:49.079
stains and dirt that washing. Won't
just soak, just soak in biotechs.

564
00:54:54.199 --> 00:55:00.320
It was huge, the house,
hardly and yet beautiful. The apple orchard

565
00:55:00.360 --> 00:55:02.960
that surrounded it was tangled and overgrown. Something bad. Me go up and

566
00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:07.840
try the door. It was locked
and until I continued on my way.

567
00:55:10.239 --> 00:55:14.719
I thought about the old house on
an off during my studies, and a

568
00:55:14.800 --> 00:55:17.800
few days later I returned there.
I found it again without inhing difficulty.

569
00:55:19.719 --> 00:55:22.920
I approached as before, and the
door was locked and barred as before.

570
00:55:25.400 --> 00:55:30.519
I was about to walk away when
I heard someone approach. I hid myself

571
00:55:30.559 --> 00:55:45.679
immediately. It was a little old
man. He wore a cloak. He

572
00:55:45.800 --> 00:55:51.360
came to the door, bowed before
it fell in my pocket, produced a

573
00:55:51.440 --> 00:56:00.800
key and turned it in the rock. After a moment, he quiet pressure

574
00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:05.599
to one of the door panels,
and the door opened, and he went

575
00:56:05.679 --> 00:56:17.519
in. After a little while,
candle light appeared faintly through the shuttered windows,

576
00:56:19.079 --> 00:56:22.920
and squinting through a crack, I
saw a lighted room, and grotesquely

577
00:56:23.079 --> 00:56:28.719
out of proportion, I saw a
shadow of someone seated grigidly, as if

578
00:56:28.800 --> 00:56:38.119
being interviewed by someone or something.
After a while, the candle light went

579
00:56:38.719 --> 00:56:43.840
and the little old man came out, locked, the door bowed in a

580
00:56:44.039 --> 00:56:47.639
same strange way, and hobbled away
again down the road without a backward glass.

581
00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:54.199
I went home that night, strangely
disturbed. Why I could not then

582
00:56:54.280 --> 00:57:00.440
think I was disturbed, but fascinated
too. However, I tried to put

583
00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:04.239
all thoughts of the house and the
old gentleman out of my mind, for

584
00:57:04.360 --> 00:57:12.199
I had a lot of study to
occupy me. Some days later I took

585
00:57:12.239 --> 00:57:15.960
a stroll through Mount Auburn Cemetery,
and it was here that I saw my

586
00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:20.599
little old gentleman again. He was
sitting upon a seat, staring straight in

587
00:57:20.679 --> 00:57:24.239
front of him, with a kind
of terrific dignity mixed with a strange,

588
00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:30.800
inexplicable sorrow. I watched him for
a long time, and then I slowly

589
00:57:30.840 --> 00:57:36.559
approached. His clothes were shabby but
neat, and his old blue cloak had

590
00:57:36.679 --> 00:57:45.039
known half a century's brushing. Good
day to you. We're having wonderfully mild

591
00:57:45.079 --> 00:57:47.199
weather for this time of the year. Don't you think this is a very

592
00:57:47.559 --> 00:57:55.440
comfortable place. I'm very fond of
walking in graveyards walking. Yes, take

593
00:57:55.519 --> 00:58:00.440
your exercise now. Some day you'll
have to settle down in a graveyard in

594
00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:06.559
a fixed position. Very true.
May I sit down, of course,

595
00:58:07.239 --> 00:58:13.840
thank you? Yes, very true. But there are some people who are

596
00:58:13.880 --> 00:58:19.519
said to take exercise. Even after
that day, he stared at me as

597
00:58:19.559 --> 00:58:24.079
if I said something odd or profound, and then he looked away. You

598
00:58:24.880 --> 00:58:30.880
don't understand well, some people,
you know, walk after death. I

599
00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:35.719
don't know why I was talking like
this. I suppose being a student of

600
00:58:35.800 --> 00:58:40.440
divinity is bad for some of us, makes us small bid. You don't

601
00:58:40.559 --> 00:58:46.559
believe that. How do you know? I don't because you are young and

602
00:58:46.800 --> 00:58:51.639
foolish. I'm young, certainly,
but on the whole, I don't think

603
00:58:51.639 --> 00:58:55.519
I'm foolish. But I don't believe
in ghosts or anything. And most people

604
00:58:55.519 --> 00:59:01.320
will be on my side, and
that most people are fooled. Are you

605
00:59:01.480 --> 00:59:07.760
a student yes, of divinity?
Of divinity theology. I'm studying for the

606
00:59:07.800 --> 00:59:14.440
ministry. There are certain things you
ought too to know them? Well?

607
00:59:15.239 --> 00:59:19.960
What things? Do you mean?
Have a great desire for knowledge? I

608
00:59:20.320 --> 00:59:25.840
like your appearance. You seem to
me sober enough. I'm perfectly sober,

609
00:59:25.880 --> 00:59:31.119
all right. You seem fair minded. I no longer strike you as foolish.

610
00:59:31.840 --> 00:59:36.719
I stick to what I said about
people who deny the power of departed

611
00:59:36.760 --> 00:59:45.039
spirits to return. They are fools. You have seen a ghost. I

612
00:59:45.400 --> 00:59:50.159
have not had to pry into old
books to learn what to believe. I

613
00:59:50.559 --> 00:59:59.400
know with these eyes. I have
beheld the departed spirits standing before me as

614
00:59:59.519 --> 01:00:07.239
clues as you are now. And
was it very terrible? I am an

615
01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:12.679
old soldier. I am not afraid. When was it? Where was it?

616
01:00:14.679 --> 01:00:20.199
You must forgive me for not going
into details. Just remember that you

617
01:00:20.400 --> 01:00:25.239
met an honest old man who has
seen a deuced well. I cannot tell

618
01:00:25.280 --> 01:00:36.000
you now who let me mention my
name? It is Captain Diamond, Sir,

619
01:00:37.000 --> 01:00:40.320
I have seen service. I hope
I may have the pleasure of meeting

620
01:00:40.320 --> 01:00:45.920
you again. The same to you, sir, And brandishing his stick,

621
01:00:46.079 --> 01:00:52.960
he marched stiffly away. I asked
several people if they knew the history of

622
01:00:52.000 --> 01:00:55.519
a Captain Diamond, but I could
find no one had even heard of him.

623
01:00:57.800 --> 01:01:00.639
I couldn't put him out of my
mind, though, and could not

624
01:01:00.760 --> 01:01:08.320
forget the house and his strange visit
to it. Oh unstircle, I am.

625
01:01:10.639 --> 01:01:15.480
And then I thought of miss Deborah, the tiny deformed sister of my

626
01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:21.280
landlady with whom I've enjoyed many an
enlightening conversation. She sat all day by

627
01:01:21.320 --> 01:01:25.599
the window between a bird cage and
a flower pot, sewing small linen articles.

628
01:01:25.719 --> 01:01:37.920
Was her passion? You, lovely
hard ye hardystucle I am your be

629
01:01:39.920 --> 01:01:47.719
good morning. You study for me, Thank you very You sit here all

630
01:01:47.880 --> 01:01:52.239
days sewing, never go out,
and yet yourself full of knowledge, and

631
01:01:52.079 --> 01:01:57.840
so you observe so much, no, so much. Sometimes I feel quite

632
01:01:57.840 --> 01:02:05.360
ashamed. Tell me have you heard
of a captain Diamond? Of course?

633
01:02:06.360 --> 01:02:10.559
Oh he was much talked about many
years ago. I haven't seen him for

634
01:02:10.719 --> 01:02:17.840
a long time, but one supposes
he survived all the scandal scandal he killed

635
01:02:19.159 --> 01:02:24.760
his daughter, killed her, but
how I mean, not with a pistol

636
01:02:24.880 --> 01:02:30.599
or a dagger or a dose of
arsenic. With his tongue. He cursed

637
01:02:30.679 --> 01:02:37.280
her, and she died cursed.
Oh what on earth had she done?

638
01:02:37.480 --> 01:02:40.280
She had received a visit from a
young man who loved her, and whom

639
01:02:40.360 --> 01:02:45.639
he had forbidden into the house that
the captain. That is the house,

640
01:02:45.719 --> 01:02:50.000
Yes, the house out in the
country, twar three miles from here,

641
01:02:50.039 --> 01:02:53.440
near the crossroad. Oh you know
about the house, then, a little

642
01:02:53.639 --> 01:02:59.800
I've seen it. Will you tell
me more? The captain and his daughter.

643
01:03:00.639 --> 01:03:05.480
He was a very high tempered old
man. He loved her very much,

644
01:03:06.119 --> 01:03:09.199
but his word was law. He
had picked out a husband for her.

645
01:03:10.079 --> 01:03:15.679
Her mother was dead. They lived
alone together. The poor girl's lover

646
01:03:15.880 --> 01:03:21.159
was a young man with whiskers from
Boston in America, and the captain came

647
01:03:21.280 --> 01:03:29.400
home one evening and found them together. His rage must have been terrible.

648
01:03:32.320 --> 01:03:38.440
You do not understand her. She
is my wife. Hell, he cannot

649
01:03:38.480 --> 01:03:49.920
be full of it. Yeah,
you'll not worry. Reasonable, come up.

650
01:03:52.320 --> 01:03:57.639
The young woman fainted and Captain Damond
left the house in rage. Several

651
01:03:57.719 --> 01:04:01.719
hours later he came back and found
note saying the American had killed the captain's

652
01:04:01.840 --> 01:04:06.639
daughter and had carried the body away
in a geef. The captain wrote a

653
01:04:08.159 --> 01:04:11.880
terrible letter saying he didn't believe she
was dead, but that she was in

654
01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:17.119
any case dead to him. A
week later, in the middle of the

655
01:04:17.320 --> 01:04:24.880
night, he saw her ghost,
and thereafter, little by little she began

656
01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:30.840
to haunt the house. The captain's
anger passed into grief. He tried to

657
01:04:30.960 --> 01:04:33.000
sell or rent the house, but
the story of the haunting was abroad and

658
01:04:33.079 --> 01:04:39.199
no one would take it. With
the farm, the property was the old

659
01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:43.880
man's only means of livelihood, and
because no one would buy the place,

660
01:04:43.960 --> 01:04:47.440
and because he couldn't live in it, he took his staff, put on

661
01:04:47.599 --> 01:04:55.880
his old cloak, and wandered away, but occasionally he was drawn back to

662
01:04:56.000 --> 01:05:01.400
the house, and the ghost relented
and proposed a compromise. Leave the house

663
01:05:01.480 --> 01:05:08.719
to me. I have marked it
for my own go and live elsewhere.

664
01:05:10.599 --> 01:05:14.440
But to enable you to live,
I will be your tenant, since you

665
01:05:14.559 --> 01:05:19.119
can find no other. I will
rent the house from you and pay you

666
01:05:19.199 --> 01:05:25.000
with some of money. And the
old man consented to accept the sun the

667
01:05:25.079 --> 01:05:45.000
ghost name, and he goes every
quarter to collect his rent. I feel

668
01:05:45.079 --> 01:05:48.679
like a new man. It's a
lovely day to day. I took a

669
01:05:48.800 --> 01:05:54.280
Grandpa headache powder and I own world's
better. When cos and flew out about

670
01:05:54.639 --> 01:05:59.360
Grandpa headache powders are what you need. Grandpa headache powders work fast because they

671
01:05:59.400 --> 01:06:03.159
dissolve most immediately. Grandpa makes all
this bit for flu symptoms disappear quickly,

672
01:06:03.519 --> 01:06:09.440
So whenever you're in pain, get
fast relief, get Grandpa headache powders.

673
01:06:09.599 --> 01:06:16.199
Ah, Grandpa, just soak,
just soak in biotechs. Stains, grass

674
01:06:16.239 --> 01:06:20.239
stains, collar and cuff stains,
ingrain, dirt, soil, and grind

675
01:06:20.480 --> 01:06:25.159
out. They come and you don't
stir a finger, Just soak, just

676
01:06:25.320 --> 01:06:30.400
soak in biotechs. Biotechs with natural
enzymes is the pre washpowder with the most

677
01:06:30.559 --> 01:06:34.360
enzymes to give you extra pre wash
power. Absolutely no rubbing, no color

678
01:06:34.440 --> 01:06:40.280
loss, no fabric ware. Soaking
in biotechs removes the stains and dirt that

679
01:06:40.559 --> 01:06:59.239
washing won't just soak, just soak
in biotechst Diamond has no other means of

680
01:06:59.280 --> 01:07:03.519
living. None. The ghost supports
him. A haunted house is valuable property.

681
01:07:03.960 --> 01:07:09.199
And in what coin does a ghost
pay silver? But all the pieces

682
01:07:09.360 --> 01:07:14.119
gaped from before the girl's death.
I'm sure it was part of the bargain

683
01:07:14.159 --> 01:07:18.360
which he should go in person to
collect his rent. And so for him,

684
01:07:19.079 --> 01:07:24.559
life goes on, and he keeps
this secret, which you mus keep

685
01:07:24.679 --> 01:07:29.400
too, now that you share it. Well, now it's time for my

686
01:07:29.559 --> 01:07:33.440
sleep, mister James, if you'll
excuse me, story telling has quite worn

687
01:07:33.519 --> 01:07:40.119
me out. My first sight of
him had been on December the thirty first,

688
01:07:41.000 --> 01:07:43.559
and it was likely that he would
return to his haunted house on the

689
01:07:43.639 --> 01:07:46.559
last day of March, the end
of the next quarter. When the thirty

690
01:07:46.599 --> 01:07:50.800
first of March came, I was
there at the house watching. He came

691
01:07:51.000 --> 01:07:56.400
and went as before, bowing and
letting himself in just the same and I

692
01:07:56.480 --> 01:08:00.960
felt an enormous pity for him.
A month after this, I met him

693
01:08:00.960 --> 01:08:06.280
again in bud Urburn Cemetery. What
do you want of me? I want

694
01:08:06.360 --> 01:08:13.960
to enjoy your conversation again. You
don't find me Crack crack, my my

695
01:08:14.079 --> 01:08:18.760
dear. I see this man in
the country. I believe you. I

696
01:08:18.840 --> 01:08:26.479
will tell you. I once committed, unintentionally a great crime. Now I

697
01:08:26.680 --> 01:08:31.840
pay the penalty. I killed my
own child. You know, struck her

698
01:08:31.880 --> 01:08:36.960
to the ground that they could not
hang me. More is the pity because

699
01:08:38.039 --> 01:08:44.319
I struck her with words, but
with my hands. And I know that

700
01:08:44.479 --> 01:08:49.119
her soul is immortal, sir,
for we have an appointment to meet four

701
01:08:49.279 --> 01:08:59.520
times a year. Her her spirit
you mean her spirit. I mean she

702
01:08:59.680 --> 01:09:05.600
is never forgiven you. She has
forgiven me as the Angel forgive. That's

703
01:09:05.640 --> 01:09:10.119
what I can't stand. The soft, quiet way she looks at me,

704
01:09:11.399 --> 01:09:18.079
and rather she twisted a knife about
it. In my heart, I must

705
01:09:18.119 --> 01:09:23.000
go my way, I must be
creeping along. I shall perhap see you

706
01:09:23.159 --> 01:09:28.000
again. Oh I'm a stiff jointed
old fellow, and this is rather far

707
01:09:28.119 --> 01:09:31.359
for me to come. But I
should like to see you again some day.

708
01:09:31.399 --> 01:09:38.760
Perhaps. What is your name?
James Roger James, Look, please

709
01:09:39.359 --> 01:09:43.960
please keep this little book Pascal's Thoughts. My name's written on the fly sheet.

710
01:09:44.720 --> 01:09:46.399
It's the book I'm very fond of. Perhaps it will tell you something

711
01:09:46.399 --> 01:09:54.880
about me and not much of a
reader. I shan't refuse the first present

712
01:09:54.960 --> 01:10:05.600
I've received since my troubles ankuser,
and he took his departure of me,

713
01:10:06.439 --> 01:10:16.159
an old shuffling figure, terribly sad
broken. On June the thirtieth, I

714
01:10:16.279 --> 01:10:19.920
decided what I would do that quarter. I would wait at the house,

715
01:10:20.279 --> 01:10:24.960
but this time I would not conceal
myself. He was a little early this

716
01:10:25.079 --> 01:10:29.079
time, and a candlelight already shone
through the window shutters when I arrived,

717
01:10:30.520 --> 01:10:32.960
And when at last he came out, he found me waiting on the doorstep.

718
01:10:39.640 --> 01:10:43.920
I knew you were here. I
came on purpose. I I hope

719
01:10:43.960 --> 01:10:47.560
you'll forgive me, but you did
encourage me. You are very clever.

720
01:10:48.680 --> 01:10:57.079
I've been hoping for a chance to
see inside. Do you know what it

721
01:10:57.359 --> 01:11:02.720
is? I see? How can
I know except my experiencing. Please take

722
01:11:02.800 --> 01:11:09.680
me in, Take you in.
I wouldn't go in again before my time's

723
01:11:09.760 --> 01:11:13.800
up. For a thousand times the
sun, I stick to my bargain.

724
01:11:14.000 --> 01:11:18.000
No less no more. If you're
going alone, you're welcome. Will you

725
01:11:18.159 --> 01:11:23.600
wait for me here? Yes,
you will not stop very long, but

726
01:11:24.119 --> 01:11:27.079
for the house is pitch dark.
When you go. You have lights here,

727
01:11:28.760 --> 01:11:33.039
take these. You'll find two candlesticks
with candles on the table in the

728
01:11:33.119 --> 01:11:40.279
hall. Let them take one in
each hand. Go ahead where where it's

729
01:11:40.359 --> 01:12:11.000
like you, anywhere everywhere. Trust
the ghost to find you. A wide

730
01:12:11.039 --> 01:12:17.520
staircase, old fashioned parlor, empty
chairs, blank walls, a dining room

731
01:12:17.840 --> 01:12:20.359
where I might have written my name
in the deep dust upon the furniture,

732
01:12:21.199 --> 01:12:29.159
kitchen beyond pots and pans, eternally
curled deep darkness. I came back to

733
01:12:29.199 --> 01:12:33.600
the stairs and looked up. Suddenly, with an inexpressible sensation, I became

734
01:12:33.640 --> 01:12:39.479
aware that this gloom was animated.
It seemed to move and gather itself.

735
01:12:40.439 --> 01:12:43.520
Then I began to perceive a definite
figure standing at the top of the stairs.

736
01:12:45.039 --> 01:12:47.359
Two white hands appeared, and they
were raised to what would have been

737
01:12:47.399 --> 01:12:50.720
the level of the head. They
were pressed together, and then the face

738
01:12:50.840 --> 01:12:56.920
was disclosed. It was white,
strange and in every way ghostly. Then

739
01:12:57.279 --> 01:12:59.760
one of the hands was waved to
and fro, as if in attitude of

740
01:12:59.760 --> 01:13:03.800
dis miss on I left the house. I did not look back outside again.

741
01:13:04.279 --> 01:13:09.039
The Captain looked at me but said
nothing. I felt something I can

742
01:13:09.119 --> 01:13:14.279
never explain. It was fear,
yes, but something deeper beyond fear.

743
01:13:16.359 --> 01:13:20.640
I haven't the heart to disturb the
old man's next vigule came the thirtieth of

744
01:13:20.680 --> 01:13:26.079
September. I was sitting in my
room alone, and I came a knock

745
01:13:26.119 --> 01:13:30.359
upon the door. I've come from
the old gentleman, Captain Diamond. He's

746
01:13:30.479 --> 01:13:40.239
right down, sick and must see
you. I'm dying, but never mind

747
01:13:40.279 --> 01:13:44.560
that. I can do with the
house. It's his rein day. But

748
01:13:44.680 --> 01:13:48.079
you can't go. I can't go, and as you lose my money,

749
01:13:49.720 --> 01:13:55.840
I'm dying. I want to pay
the doctor, and I want to be

750
01:13:56.079 --> 01:14:02.760
buried like a respectable man. It's
this evening that sunset shap. I can't

751
01:14:02.800 --> 01:14:09.279
go and lose my money. Would
the money be paid to another person?

752
01:14:10.319 --> 01:14:16.840
Okay? I'm dying to tell her
that she might trust you. Are you

753
01:14:16.920 --> 01:14:24.399
afraid? It's fifty pounds. She'll
see your face, she'll see there's no

754
01:14:24.680 --> 01:14:28.840
harm in you. You'll have your
money by nine o'clock tonight. I'll go.

755
01:14:29.439 --> 01:14:45.039
I trust you. Goodbye for the
moment. I waited for a long

756
01:14:45.159 --> 01:14:49.359
time. At last I saw it. The figure the same as before.

757
01:14:50.399 --> 01:14:59.680
I've commonplace of Captain Diamond at his
request. He's very ill, unable to

758
01:14:59.720 --> 01:15:08.640
leave his so please pay me the
money. Captain Diamond would have come himself

759
01:15:09.199 --> 01:15:15.560
if you were able to move.
At this the figure came slowly down the

760
01:15:15.600 --> 01:15:18.880
stairs, and I saw the white
face. Instinctively, I backed away.

761
01:15:19.800 --> 01:15:24.840
The figure reached the bottom of the
stairs and advanced. As it drew near,

762
01:15:25.760 --> 01:15:30.159
I saw that the face was perfectly
human. We gazed at each other.

763
01:15:30.039 --> 01:15:34.479
When the voice came. There was
nothing ghostly at all about It is

764
01:15:34.600 --> 01:15:42.159
my father, dangerously ill. It
was no apparition, just a very beautiful

765
01:15:42.199 --> 01:15:45.680
woman. Quickly, I stretched forward
a hand and pushed sharply at the veil.

766
01:15:45.680 --> 01:15:50.399
She was about thirty five and had
her father's features. Her face was

767
01:15:50.520 --> 01:15:56.479
sorrow wan and pale. My father, I suppose sent you here to insult

768
01:15:56.600 --> 01:16:02.000
me. Jack is John money.
I stooped to pick up the person money,

769
01:16:02.560 --> 01:16:05.880
and she seemed to blide away.
She disappeared, not up the stairs,

770
01:16:06.279 --> 01:16:10.520
but into one of the rooms leading
from the hallway. I knew she

771
01:16:10.720 --> 01:16:18.239
was no ghost. I had turned
to go when she screamed, your father,

772
01:16:18.479 --> 01:16:26.880
who were too? There is in
whine in his shirt is your father.

773
01:16:27.680 --> 01:16:34.479
He's in paid, ill, badly
ill? Why? I hope,

774
01:16:34.600 --> 01:16:48.800
hope not who? I just see
the goat ghost. It's a punishment for

775
01:16:48.920 --> 01:17:02.720
my my long long holly, the
punishment of my violence. Take me away

776
01:17:03.479 --> 01:17:13.920
from this place. You've been playing
all these years again the last time I

777
01:17:14.199 --> 01:17:16.960
came, you frighten me a lot. You remember, it was a game,

778
01:17:18.640 --> 01:17:23.439
but it was the only way.
Had he not forgiven you so long

779
01:17:23.520 --> 01:17:28.079
as he thought me dead? Yes, that have been things in my life

780
01:17:28.119 --> 01:17:33.239
which he could not forgive. And
where as your husband, I have no

781
01:17:33.560 --> 01:17:49.199
husband. I never had a husband. Boys, he my father, I

782
01:17:49.479 --> 01:18:00.159
thought him. I'm leaving this place. Now, you're going to my father

783
01:18:00.800 --> 01:18:08.039
directly. Will you let me know
tomorrow what you have found with pleasure?

784
01:18:09.119 --> 01:18:13.760
But how will I communicate with you? Come? And she led me outside

785
01:18:13.800 --> 01:18:17.560
into the night and said, right, just a few words, and put

786
01:18:17.600 --> 01:18:24.960
them under that stone, the stone
there by the well. Good night.

787
01:18:25.880 --> 01:18:31.039
Listen, it's all right, I
know my road. Everything is arranged.

788
01:18:32.960 --> 01:18:47.359
It's a note story, Assy,
how is he He's gone to glory dead?

789
01:18:48.119 --> 01:18:54.680
He's as big a ghost as any
of them now. I returned to

790
01:18:54.760 --> 01:18:59.039
my lodgings, meaning to write the
note for the captain's daughter and leave it

791
01:18:59.159 --> 01:19:01.359
under the stone by the way well
the next morning. That night, late

792
01:19:01.840 --> 01:19:06.239
preparing for bed, I noticed a
red glow in the northwestern sky. A

793
01:19:06.359 --> 01:19:11.239
house was on fire in the country
and burning fast. I thought no more

794
01:19:11.239 --> 01:19:15.680
about it and went to sleep.
Yes, of course you've guessed the house

795
01:19:15.720 --> 01:19:21.119
on fire. That's right, I
remembered I had left one of the candles

796
01:19:21.119 --> 01:19:25.920
alight. If it was not that
one, it was the one she had

797
01:19:26.000 --> 01:19:30.279
dropped when she thought she had seen
her father's ghost. The house was a

798
01:19:30.399 --> 01:19:35.000
mass of charred beams and smoldering ashes. The world cover had been pulled off

799
01:19:35.039 --> 01:19:39.479
in crest of water by the neighbors. The loose stones were displaced, and

800
01:19:39.600 --> 01:19:43.880
the earth had been trampled into puddles. To the best of my knowledge,

801
01:19:44.560 --> 01:19:50.479
no one ever saw again the beautiful
lady who had haunted in the flesh her

802
01:19:50.600 --> 01:20:05.960
father for so many years. Ah. Well, I've found more firewood,

803
01:20:06.119 --> 01:20:12.079
but not so much anything to eat. Well, I'm not sure, I

804
01:20:12.199 --> 01:20:17.079
recalled the last time. I hate
anything. Oh what's that? Oh no,

805
01:20:17.239 --> 01:20:21.039
no, no, no, no, will be just five teas.

806
01:20:23.079 --> 01:20:27.079
Good for the heart, good for
the souls, and one of us has

807
01:20:27.239 --> 01:20:31.640
both of those things, while the
other may not so much. Well,

808
01:20:31.760 --> 01:20:35.720
before you leave, before the sun
comes up, and I have to bid

809
01:20:35.840 --> 01:20:40.640
you ado as you head back to
your warm and inviting bed, I have

810
01:20:40.760 --> 01:20:47.239
one more for you. This story
I enjoy so much because you see,

811
01:20:47.479 --> 01:20:56.039
it's narrated by a man I would
consider in many ways to be my macab

812
01:20:56.359 --> 01:20:59.680
mental. Oh, I'm not going
to spoil it. No, no,

813
01:20:59.760 --> 01:21:03.119
no no. I want to see
the look on your face when you recognize

814
01:21:03.199 --> 01:21:06.920
his voice. And you will,
will, my dear. It's a voice

815
01:21:08.039 --> 01:21:14.000
unlike any other, and a voice
that has brought chills and fear to millions

816
01:21:14.479 --> 01:21:23.359
upon millions. Right after this little
tiny advertisement, tired of the everyday routine,

817
01:21:24.760 --> 01:21:30.039

adventure, want to get away from

818

it all? We offer you Escape
Escape designed for you from the four walls

819

820
01:21:48.479 --> 01:21:56.359
to a lonely lighthouse off the steaming
jungle coast of French Guiana and the nightmare

821
01:21:56.520 --> 01:22:01.880
world of terror and violence. As
we bring you again in response to hundreds

822
01:22:01.920 --> 01:22:20.359
of requests, three Skeleton Key starring
vincent price. Picture this place, a

823
01:22:20.479 --> 01:22:26.880
gray, tapering cylinder welded by iron
rods and concrete. To the key itself,

824
01:22:27.680 --> 01:22:31.239
a bare black rock one hundred and
fifty feet long, maybe forty wide,

825
01:22:31.560 --> 01:22:36.399
that's at low tide. At high
tide, just the lighthouse rising one

826
01:22:36.479 --> 01:22:42.319
hundred and ten feet straight up out
of the ocean, and all about it

827
01:22:42.720 --> 01:22:47.640
the churning water, gray green scum, dappled warmest soup, and swarming with

828
01:22:47.960 --> 01:22:54.800
gigantic bat like devilfish, great violet
schools, a Portuguese man of war,

829
01:22:54.920 --> 01:22:59.560
and yes, sharks, the big
ones, the fifteen footers. And as

830
01:22:59.600 --> 01:23:03.079
if this weren't enough, there was
a hot, dank, rotten smelling wind

831
01:23:03.159 --> 01:23:06.840
that came at us day and night, off the jungle swamps of the mainland,

832
01:23:08.439 --> 01:23:13.119
a wind that smelled like death,
a wind that had smelled the slow

833
01:23:13.239 --> 01:23:20.800
and frightful death that came one night
to this bare black rock. Set in

834
01:23:20.920 --> 01:23:26.239
the base of the light was a
watertight bronze door. And then you went

835
01:23:27.359 --> 01:23:31.960
and up, yes, up,
and up and round and round, past

836
01:23:32.039 --> 01:23:35.399
the tanks of oil, in the
coils of rope, casks of wicks,

837
01:23:35.800 --> 01:23:40.720
racks of lanterns, sacks of spuds, and cartons and cans, and up

838
01:23:41.319 --> 01:23:46.319
and up and up, round and
roump. Over the light storeroom was the

839
01:23:46.479 --> 01:23:50.399
food storeroom, and over the food
storeroom was the bunk room where the three

840
01:23:50.439 --> 01:23:55.199
of us slept. And over the
bunk room was the living and cooking room,

841
01:23:55.239 --> 01:24:01.399
and over the living and cooking room
was the light. She was a

842
01:24:01.680 --> 01:24:06.279
beauty, big steel and bronze baby, with the sun gleaming through the glass

843
01:24:06.359 --> 01:24:11.760
walls, all about bouncing, blinding
little beams off the big shining reflectors,

844
01:24:12.119 --> 01:24:16.279
glittering and refracting through her lenses.
The whole gigantic bulk of her balance like

845
01:24:16.359 --> 01:24:21.199
a ballerina on the glistening steel axle
of her rotary mechanism. She was a

846
01:24:21.600 --> 01:24:30.159
sweetheart of a light. And at
night you'd lie there on the stone deck

847
01:24:30.239 --> 01:24:36.479
of the gallery with her revolving smoothly
and quietly over your head, easing her

848
01:24:36.600 --> 01:24:42.840
bright white eye three hundred and sixty
degrees around the horizon. You'd lie there,

849
01:24:43.039 --> 01:24:45.840
watching to see that the feeders kept
working, that everything ran right,

850
01:24:46.479 --> 01:24:50.359
and it wouldn't be bad. The
other two fellas snoring in their sacks two

851
01:24:50.479 --> 01:24:55.800
levels down. You'd smoke your pipe
to kill the stink of the wind.

852
01:24:55.960 --> 01:25:05.359
And it wouldn't be bad about those
other two. Louis and August. What

853
01:25:05.560 --> 01:25:10.079
a pair. Louis he was,
head Man was a big fellow from the

854
01:25:10.199 --> 01:25:14.319
Basque country, black beard, little
hard, black eyes, and a pair

855
01:25:14.359 --> 01:25:16.439
of arms that I tell you,
those arms were as big around as my

856
01:25:16.720 --> 01:25:20.840
legs. Yes, head man he
was, and what word he let go

857
01:25:21.199 --> 01:25:26.439
was law. A silent fellow.
And although I spent my first two weeks

858
01:25:26.520 --> 01:25:30.600
trying to strike up a real conversation, the most I could ever get out

859
01:25:30.640 --> 01:25:34.399
of him was John. I took
up this profession because I don't like people.

860
01:25:34.520 --> 01:25:40.000
They want to talk too much.
It's quiet work, light tending.

861
01:25:40.119 --> 01:25:45.039
Let's keep it that way. You
are getting to be as bad as August,

862
01:25:45.079 --> 01:25:49.479
so maybe for once they send me
somebody that was Louis. When he

863
01:25:49.600 --> 01:25:56.239
accused me of becoming like August,
I quieted down because August was the talkingest

864
01:25:56.319 --> 01:26:00.600
man I'd ever met, the talkingest
and the ugliest. He was hunchback,

865
01:26:00.760 --> 01:26:05.000
stood four feet high, had red
hair, and big blue eyes. It

866
01:26:05.119 --> 01:26:09.880
seems he'd been an actor in Paris, indeed, played in over two hundred

867
01:26:09.960 --> 01:26:15.199
different productions. Dear Boy at the
Graangignole. Oh, but it was monstrous

868
01:26:15.359 --> 01:26:19.239
horrible the way we used to scare
the audiences. I was hated. Yes,

869
01:26:19.359 --> 01:26:23.800
yes, they used to throw things
and hiss and bare their teeth that

870
01:26:23.880 --> 01:26:27.880
way. Finally it got too bad. I couldn't stand it any longer.

871
01:26:28.239 --> 01:26:30.159
I gave up the theater my nerves, you understand, Yes, gave it

872
01:26:30.319 --> 01:26:41.600
up completely. I really didn't.
He couldn't stand. It. All started

873
01:26:41.720 --> 01:26:45.880
one morning at two thirty I was
on watch, lying on the cool stone

874
01:26:46.000 --> 01:26:50.680
deck, pulling on my pipe,
staring out at the blackness, the phosphorescent

875
01:26:50.800 --> 01:26:55.600
combers, and the big yellow stars, when out of the corner of my

876
01:26:55.760 --> 01:26:59.800
eye I noticed something show up.
For a second, something the light had

877
01:27:00.079 --> 01:27:03.640
much far off. I waited for
her to come around again, and when

878
01:27:03.720 --> 01:27:11.119
she did, there it was a
three Master, a big one, about

879
01:27:11.119 --> 01:27:15.600
a half mile off and coming down
out of the north northwest, coming straight

880
01:27:15.720 --> 01:27:18.199
for us. You must understand,
our light was where it was for a

881
01:27:18.319 --> 01:27:23.560
very good reason. Dangerous submerged reefs
surrounded us, and ships kept clear.

882
01:27:24.239 --> 01:27:28.640
But this one, this sailing vessel, was coming straight on. I went

883
01:27:28.720 --> 01:27:34.560
over to the gallery door and yelled, lay loay. I couldn't understand it.

884
01:27:35.119 --> 01:27:41.399
I waited for the light to come
around again. Why shit headed for

885
01:27:41.520 --> 01:27:47.000
the wreath. I had the glasses
out. Now I couldn't read her name,

886
01:27:47.159 --> 01:27:51.640
but I could see her quite plainly, all sail set, with a

887
01:27:51.920 --> 01:27:57.920
foam creaming away under her bower,
beautiful lines. A Dutch ship against her,

888
01:27:58.399 --> 01:28:01.399
But why didn't she turn? Every
time it passed? Our light hit

889
01:28:01.479 --> 01:28:06.560
her with a glare of days ship? Where north northwest the light will touch

890
01:28:06.560 --> 01:28:11.479
her in a moment, can't they
see? Look at her? She just

891
01:28:11.600 --> 01:28:15.439
keeps coming on the square heads?
What is it? What is it?

892
01:28:15.640 --> 01:28:20.319
Watch north northwest? I know,
I know what it is? What the

893
01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:24.319
Dutchman? The flying Dutchman. We
did a play about her once. Oh

894
01:28:24.399 --> 01:28:31.520
what a performance you ghastly Gillian hag
ridden custreyman must have shut up. She's

895
01:28:31.640 --> 01:28:38.479
loving, yes, sloppy way to
come about it. She's derelict. That's

896
01:28:38.520 --> 01:28:41.840
a derelict, abandoned. The crew
left her for some reason or other.

897
01:28:42.560 --> 01:28:45.960
But instead of sinking, she's gone
on running before every wind. She'll not

898
01:28:46.119 --> 01:28:50.079
run a long not with these reefs
to break her up. The beautiful ship.

899
01:28:51.479 --> 01:28:59.920
Now, why would men leave a
beautiful ship like that? She didn't

900
01:29:00.159 --> 01:29:02.720
ram us, although we all expected
it. But as we waited for the

901
01:29:02.880 --> 01:29:10.520
crash, she lefft again, caught
some odd dust and wet about. We

902
01:29:10.760 --> 01:29:14.520
watched her the rest of those black
hours, healing and rocking, pushed and

903
01:29:14.640 --> 01:29:18.399
pulled by every stray wind, every
freak current. Watched her until the dawn

904
01:29:18.640 --> 01:29:24.119
came, till the sea turned from
black to a pearly gray, and on

905
01:29:24.439 --> 01:29:28.520
she came again, heading for us. We all had our glasses trained on

906
01:29:28.640 --> 01:29:32.840
her. Now our gosh, you
could kill the light. Right, she

907
01:29:33.439 --> 01:29:38.439
doesn't look so good by daylight.
I think she'll ground this time? What

908
01:29:39.079 --> 01:29:42.960
I say, do you think she'll
ground this time? Eh? This is

909
01:29:43.079 --> 01:29:49.720
impossible, absolutely impossible. What here? Take my glasses, they're better than

910
01:29:49.760 --> 01:29:55.199
yours. All right, what is
it your? I had to focus,

911
01:29:55.359 --> 01:30:01.720
and then my breath froze in my
throat. The decks were swarming with a

912
01:30:01.880 --> 01:30:06.359
dark brown carpet that looked like a
gigantic fungus, but undulating, and on

913
01:30:06.520 --> 01:30:11.720
the masts and yards the guys and
all were hundreds, no thousands, I

914
01:30:11.840 --> 01:30:18.960
don't know, an endless number of
enormous rats. See them, Yes,

915
01:30:19.640 --> 01:30:25.800
I see them. Now we know
why she's terily Yes, now we know

916
01:30:26.159 --> 01:30:29.079
what are you two doing here?
Give me a look? Yes, give

917
01:30:29.159 --> 01:30:32.359
him the glasses. Take a good
look, chatterbox, give you something to

918
01:30:32.720 --> 01:30:40.439
talk about. She's still heading for
us. Yes, she's going to turn.

919
01:30:40.520 --> 01:30:44.800
She better turn soon. Suppose she
doesn't, you mean, suppose she

920
01:30:44.880 --> 01:30:48.920
piles up on the key. It's
slow tide. Yes, yes it is.

921
01:30:50.239 --> 01:30:57.960
Where's all the conversation? August eh
here wants the glasses again? On

922
01:30:58.159 --> 01:31:03.600
another look, still coming on,
lad turn, Will you turn? I

923
01:31:03.840 --> 01:31:13.960
say, I pray you her.
She's cracking up the rocks. Look on

924
01:31:14.079 --> 01:31:17.960
the water like a carpet. They're
swimming. Sure they're swimming. Those are

925
01:31:18.039 --> 01:31:23.000
ships, right, but they're swimming
for the rocks. The door belong.

926
01:31:23.359 --> 01:31:28.960
It's open. Come on down.
We went racing down the snow stairs,

927
01:31:29.079 --> 01:31:31.279
taking them three and four of the
time. Scared, you bet we were

928
01:31:31.359 --> 01:31:34.560
scared. Christ you get the windows. Maybe they can climb. We don't

929
01:31:34.600 --> 01:31:46.239
know, Gracie. But look see
them, No, oh yes I do.

930
01:31:47.119 --> 01:31:51.000
At the other end of the rock. Look at the millions. They

931
01:31:51.119 --> 01:31:59.359
smell us. Here they come close
the door hands the canny scar me.

932
01:32:00.880 --> 01:32:13.279
You made it. It was close. One guy in look there, hurt.

933
01:32:14.560 --> 01:32:18.520
It was this is a bigger and
his eyes were wild and red,

934
01:32:18.640 --> 01:32:24.279
his teeth long and sharp and yellow. He went for a star of rabbinous

935
01:32:24.319 --> 01:32:27.279
and we fought him, bought that
one rat all over the room. It

936
01:32:27.520 --> 01:32:29.920
was, Oh, believe me,
I do not exaggerate. It was like

937
01:32:30.039 --> 01:32:39.159
fighting a pen. Got him,
We better get aloft. As we ran

938
01:32:39.279 --> 01:32:43.159
up the winding staircase, we passed
the tiny windows of the various levels,

939
01:32:43.520 --> 01:32:47.039
and that everyone was a thick,
griggling, screaming curtain of brown fur.

940
01:32:47.920 --> 01:32:51.479
I was ahead of Louis, and
I glanded each successive level. Suppose they

941
01:32:51.520 --> 01:32:59.600
had found the way in. It's
a light man. The air of the

942
01:32:59.720 --> 01:33:02.720
down they was thick and fetted with
the stink of them. The light was

943
01:33:02.880 --> 01:33:08.560
dim, brown, filtered through the
crawling mask that swarmed over the glass.

944
01:33:08.600 --> 01:33:12.520
All abouts. We could not see
the sky, nothing, nothing but them,

945
01:33:13.319 --> 01:33:16.520
their red eyes, their claws,
their wriggling harry snouts, and their

946
01:33:16.680 --> 01:33:23.520
teeth. The rats. They screamed
and howled and threw themselves against the glass.

947
01:33:24.239 --> 01:33:30.079
They were starving. And we three
we stood very quietly, oh,

948
01:33:30.439 --> 01:33:33.479
they very quietly, in the center
of the classroom, under our beautiful light,

949
01:33:34.439 --> 01:33:40.560
and we waited, what can we
do? What can we do to

950
01:33:40.840 --> 01:33:45.800
take it easill? And take it
easy? Won't do it won't do any

951
01:33:45.840 --> 01:33:53.279
good to stand here in shape.
That's right, And everybody one cigarette?

952
01:33:53.359 --> 01:33:57.680
Yes, yes, I haven't got
good boy. We have got to keep

953
01:33:58.039 --> 01:34:04.840
calm about this thing. Here's a
light. They don't light the fire,

954
01:34:05.039 --> 01:34:14.399
do that? Just not give me
another match. You don't like that much?

955
01:34:14.439 --> 01:34:17.199
Day you don't wild them, August, give me some more matches.

956
01:34:17.479 --> 01:34:20.239
I'll strike them and strike them and
strike them until they get scared and go

957
01:34:20.319 --> 01:34:30.760
away. You won't go away,
not until finish it. Nothing too what

958
01:34:31.079 --> 01:34:45.000
not until they've been fed. You
can take just so much harder, and

959
01:34:45.119 --> 01:34:48.239
then you get used to it.
And they were interesting to watch, you

960
01:34:48.359 --> 01:34:53.479
know. They couldn't understand the class. They could see us, and they

961
01:34:53.520 --> 01:34:57.199
could rush at us, but that
thin, invisible barrier held them off,

962
01:34:57.319 --> 01:35:00.680
stop them. From time to time
we caught a glimpse of the rocks below.

963
01:35:00.880 --> 01:35:06.000
More rats down there, swarming brown
velvet in the bright tropical sunlight.

964
01:35:06.920 --> 01:35:15.279
And then the tide began to rise. If only it had drowned some of

965
01:35:15.359 --> 01:35:19.560
them ships. Rats don't drown,
no, sir, you cannot drown one

966
01:35:19.640 --> 01:35:24.520
of them. They're all climbing up
the tower. This bunch around us is

967
01:35:24.600 --> 01:35:30.000
getting thicker. Say, what's the
time quarter six. You've got first watch

968
01:35:30.079 --> 01:35:36.439
John right, wake me attend,
I will come along, Ergs. It

969
01:35:36.600 --> 01:35:43.119
was getting dark. One side of
the room was lit a soft filtered red

970
01:35:44.159 --> 01:35:48.319
sunset through. The rats are very
pretty. I set the wicks, checked

971
01:35:48.359 --> 01:35:56.359
my fuel, and then lit the
lamps. It caught them, lit them

972
01:35:56.399 --> 01:36:00.359
in their gigantic wriggling web of pale, hairless belly, twitching red tails,

973
01:36:00.439 --> 01:36:10.079
bright eyes. Then I started the
rotor emmotive light drove mad as she swung

974
01:36:10.319 --> 01:36:15.239
slowly and smoothly about. She blinded
them in the fierce stabbing bar of light,

975
01:36:15.600 --> 01:36:19.199
moving continually about, of a training
of the touching of a moving around

976
01:36:19.359 --> 01:36:24.800
and around, and say, twitching
and shuddering, eyes flaming when they were

977
01:36:24.880 --> 01:36:29.760
struck by the light rise light,
moving and behind on the dark side of

978
01:36:29.800 --> 01:36:31.720
the room, so close, so
close, I heard not turn my back,

979
01:36:31.800 --> 01:36:34.680
but it cannot help turning your back
when you're in a room made of

980
01:36:34.760 --> 01:36:39.239
flash. On the dark side of
the room, you could not see them,

981
01:36:40.039 --> 01:36:45.520
but only their eyes, thousands of
points of blank red light, blinking

982
01:36:45.640 --> 01:37:00.000
and twinkling like the stars of elk. A lowis leaved me at ten,

983
01:37:00.119 --> 01:37:03.159
but I didn't get much sleep that
night, and When I came up into

984
01:37:03.239 --> 01:37:08.760
the gallery early next morning, there
stood August, his back to me.

985
01:37:08.840 --> 01:37:12.800
He was bowing to the rats,
waving his arms and making a speak.

986
01:37:12.920 --> 01:37:16.479
I am going to play once again
that magnificent role which made me the toast

987
01:37:16.560 --> 01:37:21.800
of the parish theater. Pray laty, the evil genius of the medieval underworld.

988
01:37:23.279 --> 01:37:27.399
I am he who did guide the
doc soul of the Matischale into the

989
01:37:27.479 --> 01:37:33.399
nether pads. Do not be frightened, little children. I will that I've

990
01:37:33.479 --> 01:37:38.079
had you. I stop staring at
him, horror struck. But he didn't

991
01:37:38.159 --> 01:37:42.560
notice me. The man had drawn
mad. He kept pointing, telling his

992
01:37:42.680 --> 01:37:48.119
stories to all the rats, leaving
no one else as August another one,

993
01:37:48.560 --> 01:37:53.800
a late comer. Take a seat
on the isle, dear patron, look

994
01:37:53.880 --> 01:38:00.359
over there that the gentleman city didn't
come. He went on bowing and raping

995
01:38:00.479 --> 01:38:03.439
to the rats, his big blue
eyes rolling and winking, his wild red

996
01:38:03.560 --> 01:38:11.600
hair waving about him. I grabbed
him by the arms. He looked at

997
01:38:11.680 --> 01:38:15.760
me like a child, and then
his face screwed up. He looked as

998
01:38:15.800 --> 01:38:20.359
though we were about to cry bubblo, go on, Oh, very waiting,

999
01:38:21.239 --> 01:38:30.079
Lita, my dear Audian slater,
met you late today. Sure he

1000
01:38:30.279 --> 01:38:35.119
was crazy. I guess we all
were. A few hours later he came

1001
01:38:35.239 --> 01:38:41.319
back up and caught Louis and me
teasing the rats. Yes, sounds horrible.

1002
01:38:42.479 --> 01:38:47.920
It was fun. We could get
right up against the glass and make

1003
01:38:48.039 --> 01:38:53.079
faces at them. It prove them
crazy. They would scratch away, trying

1004
01:38:53.119 --> 01:38:56.600
to get at our eyes. Louis
was even cuter about it. He pull

1005
01:38:56.640 --> 01:39:00.079
a piece of bread out of his
pocket and present against the glasss would scramble

1006
01:39:00.159 --> 01:39:05.119
into a solid ball, biting each
other, clustering like grapes. From time

1007
01:39:05.199 --> 01:39:09.600
to time a whole lot of them
would slip and fall one hundred and ten

1008
01:39:09.720 --> 01:39:15.520
feet of the surf below. Look
at the sharks, they're reading them.

1009
01:39:15.239 --> 01:39:21.640
The sharks are our friends. Did
here I'll get another budge together? Here,

1010
01:39:23.119 --> 01:39:30.680
my beauties. That's it, pile
of kill each other. Very gold

1011
01:39:30.640 --> 01:39:35.640
goose joined in two whole, very
ingenious old gooset. He learned that if

1012
01:39:35.680 --> 01:39:41.640
he spread eagled himself against the glass, they'd bunch and bundle against his figure,

1013
01:39:41.920 --> 01:39:53.279
and then he leaped back. Look
my portrait in rats. It went

1014
01:39:53.359 --> 01:39:58.720
on all day, and then I
was lying in bed. It was about

1015
01:39:58.840 --> 01:40:01.800
midnight. I was very tired,
and I was just beginning to fall off

1016
01:40:01.840 --> 01:40:09.720
to sleep when I became conscious of
a news sound. Couldn't figure it at

1017
01:40:09.800 --> 01:40:12.920
first. I got up, lit
the lamp and went to the window.

1018
01:40:13.800 --> 01:40:16.239
Even as I looked at it,
I saw one of the panes begin to

1019
01:40:16.399 --> 01:40:21.760
sag in. They had eaten the
wood away, Louis, Louis, don't

1020
01:40:21.800 --> 01:40:26.560
quick, what what is it?
Found a way in? I held the

1021
01:40:26.600 --> 01:40:30.359
glass with my hand. Now they
were all going crazy and assured of the

1022
01:40:30.439 --> 01:40:32.760
success of this maneuver. We're all
nibbling away at the wood. Louis ran

1023
01:40:32.840 --> 01:40:36.399
below and then returned with a large
sheet of tin. We spread it against

1024
01:40:36.439 --> 01:40:40.439
the window and hammered it into place. Even as we did so, we

1025
01:40:40.560 --> 01:40:44.720
felt the heavy body studdying against the
other side. As the window gave way,

1026
01:40:45.199 --> 01:40:48.760
let out a hole. If a
dozen, we're done for. Rats

1027
01:40:48.840 --> 01:40:54.800
can't eat tin, No, they
can't. So what was that? I

1028
01:40:54.840 --> 01:41:01.079
don't know. It came from below
the storroom window. There him just swarming

1029
01:41:01.159 --> 01:41:06.960
up the stairs. Roped the trap
right. Two of them got in.

1030
01:41:08.399 --> 01:41:12.119
Let's go after them. We didn't
talk the last and they came at us.

1031
01:41:12.880 --> 01:41:15.960
I leaped to one side and grabbed
a marlin spike swung and smashed one

1032
01:41:16.039 --> 01:41:19.720
in mid air, the world to
seeing Louis with the other. It had

1033
01:41:19.800 --> 01:41:24.279
ripped his hand open, and the
blood was pouring all over the place.

1034
01:41:24.760 --> 01:41:28.199
He held his hand aloft and kicked
at the snarling rat. I stepped and

1035
01:41:28.680 --> 01:41:31.880
swum and got him. He got
herd. That's both of them, Louis.

1036
01:41:32.239 --> 01:41:35.279
I'll get you something to tie that
up. Blood. Look at it,

1037
01:41:35.439 --> 01:41:39.920
my blood, I'm bleeding. You
don't worry about Louis here. Look

1038
01:41:40.439 --> 01:41:45.279
I wind this kerchief around it.
It'll be okay. Blood, then it's

1039
01:41:45.359 --> 01:41:51.239
not bad. Just the flesh.
Who Then I became conscious of another new

1040
01:41:51.399 --> 01:41:58.640
sound. They were gnawing their way
through the wooden trap door, and watched

1041
01:41:58.720 --> 01:42:02.680
the wood fascinated h Juden's idea.
It began to give way, and a

1042
01:42:02.800 --> 01:42:08.880
bristling, whiskery nose showed through.
Louie. Louie, we got to go

1043
01:42:09.039 --> 01:42:13.359
up. The next level was the
little quarters in the kitchen. Knight slammed

1044
01:42:13.399 --> 01:42:17.159
the trap door there too, but
it through us wood, my blood.

1045
01:42:18.159 --> 01:42:21.439
What are we going to do?
Dough no to we through this one in

1046
01:42:21.520 --> 01:42:26.920
a moment. The gallery the trap
door, and the gallery is metal.

1047
01:42:27.039 --> 01:42:38.239
Good, Come on, we made
it we lay across the trap door,

1048
01:42:38.359 --> 01:42:43.680
exhausted, while below us the rats
took over the entire tower. I could

1049
01:42:43.720 --> 01:42:46.600
hear them howling and fighting over our
food supply, our water, our leather,

1050
01:42:47.319 --> 01:42:50.880
and all about us. The others
screamed and glared in at us,

1051
01:42:51.600 --> 01:43:02.840
swayed in a tangled mass, hypnotized
by the ever turning light. By morning,

1052
01:43:02.960 --> 01:43:06.640
the air in the little room was
horrible until now we'd been getting air

1053
01:43:06.720 --> 01:43:11.680
from the tower below. Now that
was sealed off, and so was all

1054
01:43:11.720 --> 01:43:15.319
our food and water. Well,
they exhausted, panting, waiting, waiting,

1055
01:43:16.479 --> 01:43:24.640
howers crawled. I was almost dozing
from fatigue when I saw a sight

1056
01:43:24.760 --> 01:43:30.079
that brought me too fast. Would
you like to come in, my beauties?

1057
01:43:30.560 --> 01:43:34.720
Would you? I hold the powers
of life and death, and I

1058
01:43:34.880 --> 01:43:39.800
can let you in your law Au
Goose was standing by the glass, and

1059
01:43:39.920 --> 01:43:45.600
in one hand he held out wrench. He was tapping the glass gently,

1060
01:43:45.720 --> 01:43:49.840
not quite hard enough to break it. AH leased myself to my feet,

1061
01:43:50.640 --> 01:43:59.439
slowly, very slowly, tauting.
All I have to do is tap just

1062
01:43:59.640 --> 01:44:08.399
a little harder. I found a
coil of wire in the two kit,

1063
01:44:08.479 --> 01:44:11.960
and I trusted him up, fastened
him to a stanchion in the center of

1064
01:44:12.000 --> 01:44:14.880
the room. Louis was of no
help. He lay on his side,

1065
01:44:14.920 --> 01:44:18.119
looking at his bloody hand, weak
and sick as a baby. So there

1066
01:44:18.159 --> 01:44:21.840
I was a lunatic and a coward
for company, and all about watching our

1067
01:44:21.920 --> 01:44:33.640
little drama. The rats the day
dragged by. The supply boat wasn't due

1068
01:44:33.720 --> 01:44:38.000
for another twelve days. I don't
know what they could have done if they

1069
01:44:38.079 --> 01:44:41.720
had come. We had only one
way of summoning them, and that was

1070
01:44:41.760 --> 01:44:45.800
to shoot off to stress rockets.
But the rockets were four floors below,

1071
01:44:47.479 --> 01:44:50.840
and even if they'd been right there
in the gallery, I couldn't have opened

1072
01:44:50.840 --> 01:44:59.199
a window to fire them. That
night I tended the light, but its

1073
01:44:59.239 --> 01:45:03.800
flame was to fowering our oxygen.
The following day we lay thirst tormented,

1074
01:45:03.960 --> 01:45:10.239
starving, waiting, waiting. And
following night I again tended the light,

1075
01:45:10.399 --> 01:45:15.600
but this small supply of spare waking
we kept in the gallery had become exhausted,

1076
01:45:15.680 --> 01:45:23.279
and quite suddenly, about midnight the
light went out. There's nothing I

1077
01:45:23.359 --> 01:45:30.359
could do. Wicks were stored three
levels below, nothing I could do nothing.

1078
01:45:30.439 --> 01:45:34.800
From time to time i'd strike a
match to see the clock. When

1079
01:45:34.840 --> 01:45:39.960
I did, it lit up the
million red eyes a bot us all up

1080
01:45:40.560 --> 01:45:48.159
us watching waiting below. It had
grown quiet. They'd cleaned the south.

1081
01:45:48.359 --> 01:45:57.840
Now they too were waiting, all
waiting. And then the rats quite suddenly

1082
01:45:58.680 --> 01:46:15.520
were silent. And then I heard
it, and then I saw the sky

1083
01:46:15.920 --> 01:46:20.680
and the stars. The rats were
gone. I went to the glass.

1084
01:46:21.760 --> 01:46:28.319
Out there on the water, a
small freighter of banana boat showing a few

1085
01:46:28.439 --> 01:46:35.840
lights. Came softly and innocently,
Alice, the light was out. They

1086
01:46:35.880 --> 01:46:41.920
didn't know. I wanted to open
the windows, to call out to them,

1087
01:46:42.000 --> 01:46:46.600
to warn them somehow, but I
was afraid. What if the rats

1088
01:46:46.640 --> 01:46:54.760
were hiding from me, tricking me? So I waited. She grounded very

1089
01:46:54.880 --> 01:47:00.319
softly on a reef not two hundred
yards from the quay, grounded so mentally

1090
01:47:00.399 --> 01:47:04.880
that the man playing the cornet was
he a passenger crew man off watch didn't

1091
01:47:04.920 --> 01:47:13.439
even stop playing. They tried washing
her back off. I could have told

1092
01:47:13.479 --> 01:47:16.720
them to save their fuel, the
tide was rising, would have floated her

1093
01:47:16.840 --> 01:47:44.520
free. And I waited. That's
all. That's the story. The sun

1094
01:47:44.800 --> 01:47:48.159
came up and there wasn't a rat
on the whole key. Every last one

1095
01:47:48.239 --> 01:47:54.119
of that terrible army had left us, gone back to sea on their new

1096
01:47:54.319 --> 01:48:04.239
ship. August insane asylumy never recur
and Louis they took him into Cayenne where

1097
01:48:04.279 --> 01:48:12.279
he died of blood poisoning from his
bite. Yes, well that's the whole

1098
01:48:12.359 --> 01:48:15.479
of it. And if you'll excuse
me now, I must set my traps.

1099
01:48:16.079 --> 01:48:21.039
No no mouse traps, no rats
in this lighthouse, I should say

1100
01:48:21.199 --> 01:48:30.079
not. Life in the lights isn't
bad. But sometimes when I see a

1101
01:48:30.319 --> 01:48:35.000
strange vessel approaching, I will get
a little nervous. Sure, somewhere on

1102
01:48:35.119 --> 01:48:40.640
the seas, there's a little banana
boat without a crew, that is,

1103
01:48:40.880 --> 01:48:57.520
without a human crew. Escape is
produced and directed by William and Robeson tonight

1104
01:48:57.600 --> 01:49:00.520
we have presented Three Skeleton Key by

1109
01:49:20.520 --> 01:49:25.520
was at the control panel and special
music was arranged and conducted by Del Castillo.

1110
01:49:26.960 --> 01:49:30.319
Well, my dear, it's about
time I play my favorite record and

1111
01:49:31.119 --> 01:49:36.880
you you put on your shoes and
make that journey home to your warm,

1112

cozy bed. I just want you
to know how much I appreciate your little

1113
01:49:44.159 --> 01:49:48.479
visits to me. Don't worry.
I'll be here next week when you come

1114
01:49:48.560 --> 01:49:56.760

But for now, dor get. The

1115
01:49:56.880 --> 01:50:00.600
sun's coming up and I have to
go back to wherever it is I come

1116
01:50:00.680 --> 01:50:04.479
from. As you, as you
go to your warm and cozy bed,

1117
01:50:05.560 --> 01:50:14.840

a baby's skin pillow, and remember before
