Marshall. From ancient days to the present, 4 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:37,320 mankind has believed in ghosts. Some claim to have seen them, 5 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,520 heard them, and even touched them. There never was any 6 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,960 question about the terror of such an experience, real or imaginary. 7 00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:50,960 Even today we read in our newspapers about apparitions and 8 00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:56,719 spirit messages which have no reasonable explanation. It was such 9 00:00:56,759 --> 00:01:00,280 an experience that only in in Maine that terrify right 10 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:06,599 a man of exact science named Professor George Weymouth. You 11 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:12,079 saw what there one hundred yards offshore, an inverted funnel 12 00:01:12,079 --> 00:01:15,400 of water like a shroud, a winding sheet, a garment 13 00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:19,680 of the day. All come now, Colonel Pingree, a shroud, 14 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,959 just the wind whipping a wavecrest into an inverted calm. 15 00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:28,200 May you look as if you'd seen an apparition. He'll 16 00:01:28,239 --> 00:01:31,359 tell her you believe in that kind of av You 17 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:41,319 said your name was Weymouth, Weimoth, Yes, that could explain it. 18 00:01:50,519 --> 00:01:55,519 Our mystery drama The Five Ghostly Indians was written especially 19 00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:59,120 for the Mystery Theater by Roy Windsor and stars Robert 20 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,400 Dryden and Court Benson.

I'll be back shortly with Act one. As 23 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,879 we approach our countries by centennial, we think proudly of 24 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,479 seventeen seventy six and our independence. But what about the 25 00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:37,639 first people to live in America, the Indians? Long before 26 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:44,840 we became independent, we had taken away their independence. Someone wrote, 27 00:02:45,439 --> 00:02:48,800 the pilgrim fathers landed on the shores of America and 28 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,039 fell upon their knees. Then they fell upon the Aborigines. 29 00:02:54,159 --> 00:02:57,479 An Englishman exploring the coast of Maine in the year 30 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,000 sixteen oh five captured and killed old five Indians, and 31 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,759 the bad relationship began. His name was George Weymouth, and 32 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,639 this is the story of what happened to his present 33 00:03:10,759 --> 00:03:12,280 day namesake. 34 00:03:16,439 --> 00:03:16,719 Speaker 3: Of the. 35 00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: Indiana. Heyo there, what, oh, oh, hello, d you'd arrived 36 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,960 at White Pines. Hi, my name is Pingree, Colonel Caleb Pingrave. 37 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,039 How do you do, Colonel George Weymouth? And you don't 38 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,280 mind me butting in this way? If you do, say so, 39 00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:38,800 and I'll finish my walk up the beach le Cerva 40 00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:41,360 me not I was just about to walk back to 41 00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:45,759 the end. It's growing dark and I'm chill. Uh, that's 42 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:51,960 a cold looking ocean forbidding. Well, come along, we'll have 43 00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:53,639 a couple of tea in front of the fire in 44 00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:58,599 the lord. That sounds inviting. Oh look here, just before 45 00:03:58,639 --> 00:04:03,919 you hailed me, look what I found as this an 46 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,759 Indian arrowhead among the rocks. Well, that's unusual. It is 47 00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:12,479 a design on it. Here, let me rub off more 48 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:17,959 of the moss. It's heavily encrusted. Must have been here 49 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:26,879 for hundreds of years. Good drums, Hey, what drums? Indian drums? 50 00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:31,720 Hear them? Drums? What are you talking about? I don't 51 00:04:31,759 --> 00:04:37,480 hear anything here? Any idea what this design means? Colonel 52 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:45,600 s Well, they're gone, They're gone. What you didn't hear 53 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,079 the Indian drums? No, when you rub the arrowhead, I 54 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,199 distinctly heard drums when you handed it to me. The 55 00:04:54,319 --> 00:04:58,600 drums stumps as well, that's not worry about them. They 56 00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:04,160 take a look at that design, Colonel. Hmmm, a diamond 57 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,199 figure and closing another diamond figure. It is very unusual. 58 00:05:10,759 --> 00:05:16,480 It means medicine man. Why unusual because the tribe's medicine 59 00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:20,439 man hardly ever went into battle. He was called a 60 00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:26,120 shaman and had great authority because of his special guardian functions. 61 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,439 That's why he became known to us as a medicine man. 62 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:37,160 Well you've made a remarkable discovery. Hu are it's quite beautiful? 63 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:37,560 Isn't it? 64 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 3: Good? 65 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: Heavens? Oh? What is it? Quite? The drums and rook 66 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,439 look out there about one hundred yards off shore? See it? 67 00:05:50,439 --> 00:05:54,399 See what I see? White caps as far as I 68 00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:02,000 can see anymore, and drums. You're hearing things because they 69 00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:06,680 are follow where I'm pointing. See that invited funnel of 70 00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:10,000 water each like a shroud. Don't you see it? I 71 00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:10,879 really don't. 72 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,319 Speaker 2: May I have the arrow hit? 73 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: Here's the course bill. The drums are stopped, That funnel 74 00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:28,560 of water is gone. You're a romantic, colonel, nurse. Do 75 00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:31,839 you know what I'd do with that arrowhead? If I 76 00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:36,199 were you, I'd throw it in the ocean. I certainly 77 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,079 won't do that. You said it was unusual. My young 78 00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:44,839 daughter will treasure it as a wonderful souvenir. You're not 79 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,839 pulling my leg, are you, Colonel? I assure you I 80 00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:55,439 am not. What did you say? Your name was Wemous?

Yes, and I told Meg about what 141 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,440 I saw, But there's no talking to her. He just 142 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,080 laughs at me and declares I might be a little 143 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,600 loose in the top story. Well, I know that your 144 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,639 good wife feels the same way about me. She means 145 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,000 no offense, Colonel, No, of course not, of course not. 146 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,440 I understand that. Well, after I picked up the lobsters 147 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,960 and the clams in Popa Beach, I drove the old 148 00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:01,960 truck back toard Pittsburgh, m Now about a mile from 149 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,799 where I turned off to the White Pines, I heard drums, 150 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,480 Indian drums, And I saw, clear as I'm seeing you, 151 00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:16,279 five Indians dancing round a boiling pot and dipping their 152 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,840 arrows into the stuff. Whatever it was you see? What 153 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:26,600 do you make of that? When I heard Indian drums too, bugs, 154 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,240 I knew I was right. Where did you hear them? Colonel? 155 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,559 On the beach about a half an hour ago? But 156 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,840 I saw something else about one hundred yards off shore. 157 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,679 I saw an inverted water spout looked like a limp 158 00:11:42,799 --> 00:11:46,480 sheet held up by two fingers, A headless ghost. What 159 00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:51,360 did do well? When Weymouth handed me the arrowhead? The 160 00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:56,519 drums stopped when the dancing ghost Spanish arrowhead. Weymoth found 161 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,480 an arrowhead among the rocks down by the beach. Ahead 162 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,440 amongst the rocks almost have been there for centuries, more 163 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:09,879 than three. I'd say it dates from around sixteen oh five. Now, 164 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:10,799 how the deuced you. 165 00:12:10,879 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: Know that. 166 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:17,519 Speaker 1: Weymouth? You're from an old down Easter family. Does the 167 00:12:17,639 --> 00:12:24,200 name mean anything to you? Yeah? But just barely. Well. 168 00:12:25,039 --> 00:12:27,919 I've been thinking about it ever since Weymouth picked up 169 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,559 that arrowhead. It had belonged to a medicine man, because 170 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,440 it hit a design on it, a figure of a 171 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:40,360 diamond within a diamond, probably from the Heschermann tribe. Back 172 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:47,600 in sixteen oh five, an Englishman named George Weymouth explored 173 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,240 the coast of Maine for no reason I've ever been 174 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:56,440 able to learn. He brutally murdered five Indians, and she 175 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,120 of the tribe attacked Weymouth's soup, killed several of his soldiers, 176 00:13:01,759 --> 00:13:05,120 and then they were overwhelmed. Yep, it comes back to me. 177 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,399 Now English killed the medicine man, wrapped him in a sheet, 178 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,480 and wrapped him into the ocean. Now he's returned. He 179 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,399 has returned, and he's called up those five murdered Indians 180 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,360 to witness his revenge. He told Professor Weymouth about the 181 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,480 kurt I Nintendo. But he's a professor of zoology, a 182 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,279 man of science that he'd laugh at me.

I have to tell him to leave tonight. 185 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,720 Let me handle him. If he'll give me the medicine 186 00:13:40,759 --> 00:13:45,000 man's arrow heads, he won't be threatened, and neither will 187 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,080 White Puns. 188 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 3: Evening Colonel, how there he is. 189 00:13:51,159 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 5: Here comes a professor, even a professor hot Tea. 190 00:13:54,799 --> 00:14:01,639 Speaker 1: Just try aves bars. I got chilled down that beach evening. 191 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,320 Thanks for the top, Colonel, Hi, you two. 192 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 4: Been yarning about those Indian drums and them five dance 193 00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:11,600 an Indian brail. 194 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: They're real enough. 195 00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 2: Meg. 196 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: Don't tell me, colonel that you still think you heard drums. 197 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:23,159 That's on apparition off shore. And your name is Weymouth. 198 00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:28,919 Over three hundred years ago, your ancestor, George Weymouth cruelly 199 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,919 murdered five Indian braves and killed the medicinemen of their 200 00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:38,039 tribe and buried him at sea. If when you picked 201 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,919 up that arahad you triggered the guardian spirits of those 202 00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:49,480 Indians and they have been awakened, indeed, to what purpose? Revenge? 203 00:14:49,639 --> 00:14:56,080 Professor Weymouth, I don't believe it, Colonel, With all due 204 00:14:56,159 --> 00:15:00,759 respect to folklore, I didn't expect you to believe it. 205 00:15:06,559 --> 00:15:10,759 If Colonel Pingree and the innkeeper Boggs swear that they 206 00:15:10,879 --> 00:15:15,240 heard those celestial Indian drums and saw those apparitions, why 207 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:20,480 should we disbelieve them. They are otherwise normal men. Psychic 208 00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:25,399 phenomena is not nonsense. Despite the disbelief of Professor Weymouth, 209 00:15:25,799 --> 00:15:29,080 whose name links him with a brutal crime committed over 210 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,559 three hundred years ago. I'll be back shortly with that two. 211 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:49,159 It might be that some down Easters have retained imaginations 212 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,159 more lively than our own, because our twenty third state, Maine, 213 00:15:53,759 --> 00:15:57,159 has a rugged climate and its people never forget it. 214 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,879 In the sparsely settled wilderness, it would be easier to 215 00:16:02,039 --> 00:16:05,759 see ghosts of Indians from long ago in the forests 216 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,519 in front of a blazing heart. Professor Weymouth might scoff 217 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:16,159 at folklore, and so does mag the innkeeper's wife, But 218 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:21,320 not Bogs, the innkeeper. He and Colonel Pingree know what 219 00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:23,480 they heard and saw. 220 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 5: Bob, what does that talk about? An air ahead? 221 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: Weymouth found it. That's when the trouble began. 222 00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:35,559 Speaker 5: Indian drums dancing Indians. 223 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: It goes down the water. Oh, you and the colonel. 224 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 3: You're some fair. 225 00:16:40,519 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 5: Seven o'clock still no faradays? 226 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:43,519 Speaker 1: Ell love? 227 00:16:43,679 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 5: Probably well you think they telephone. 228 00:16:46,879 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 4: Well, I'll serve the colonel and Professor Weymouth and put 229 00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:51,759 the other steamers and lobsters in the icebox. 230 00:16:52,039 --> 00:16:55,039 Speaker 1: I think I'll go outside and look round a little. Now. 231 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 5: You be very careful. Don't want some Indian to scalp you. 232 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 3: Couldn't run White Pines alone. 233 00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: One of these days, Meg, you'll believe I'll be back 234 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:08,480 half an hour or so. 235 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 3: Keep an eye out for the Faraday. 236 00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:16,079 Speaker 1: Well. You can eat any time. Meg is ready to serve. 237 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:22,559 Bogs coming right up, Colonel. Could you look concerned my friend? Nope, 238 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,960 just annoyed. A young couple named Faraday was supposed to 239 00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:30,079 arrive at six. Haven't a little word from him where. 240 00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:32,440 It's easy enough to get lost on these back roads, 241 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,559 and I'm gonna have to look around. He just got 242 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:42,039 that one light out front, and they could drive right by, Edney. 243 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:48,319 Luck can I'm still not convinced. Bogs the arrowhead is mine. 244 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,960 I'm reluctant to give it up. It means trouble, professor, 245 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,359 and so you say. But I'm a man of science. 246 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,160 Folklore is charming, but I don't believe it it. We 247 00:18:01,319 --> 00:18:05,079 know that myths were created to explain certain practices and beliefs, 248 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:11,160 and reason is applied, they disintegrate. As much as I'd 249 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,920 like to believe your story about the Indian drums and 250 00:18:14,039 --> 00:18:19,960 the apparition on the sea, I can't, then, Professor. I'll 251 00:18:20,039 --> 00:18:24,680 have no no bugs. Not so first take your stroll 252 00:18:24,839 --> 00:18:27,920 and leave this to me, but I don't know. Please, 253 00:18:29,039 --> 00:18:31,799 and I'll say good night to both of you. Man 254 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:39,319 uh I offended him. I'm sorry. No, don't worry about it, Weymouth. 255 00:18:39,799 --> 00:18:42,720 Hopefully you'll be away from here without incident in a 256 00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:49,960 few days. Hopefully. I can understand simple innkeeper being superstitious, 257 00:18:50,079 --> 00:18:54,839 but I can't understand it about you, Colonel, an educated man, 258 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,759 well spoken. All I wish you'd accept is that bugs 259 00:18:59,839 --> 00:19:03,359 and I are certain that the arrow it is dangerous 260 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,079 to you. It's in your own interest to send it 261 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,039 to York to be placed with the other Indian relics. Well, 262 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,960 perhaps come up to my room and we'll take a 263 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,839 look at it. Agreed, you're making a wise decision, Weymouth. 264 00:19:25,519 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 3: Maybe we better turn around then. 265 00:19:27,319 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure I took the right road out of Bath. 266 00:19:29,759 --> 00:19:31,559 We drove through win against an aerosick. 267 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,279 Speaker 6: We should have telephoned from Arrowsick to tell them we'd 268 00:19:34,279 --> 00:19:34,599 be late. 269 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 7: Well, let's keep going, Going to the map Pitpsburgh, going 270 00:19:38,279 --> 00:19:40,240 to be well, only a few miles from here. 271 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:41,599 Speaker 1: You'd never know it. 272 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,319 Speaker 6: It's like being in a wilderness. I haven't seen a 273 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,880 sign for miles and it's pitch black. 274 00:19:48,519 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: Scared. 275 00:19:49,319 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 3: Well, it is kind of spooky. 276 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: Well, there's nothing here to harm you. Let's drive on. 277 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 7: If we get to Fittsburgh, we'll telephone White Pines. Maybe 278 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,240 they'll hold dinner for us. 279 00:19:58,559 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 3: It's after seven bits. 280 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,079 Speaker 1: We ought to be there by seven point thirty. 281 00:20:03,079 --> 00:20:05,079 Speaker 3: Unless we're on the way to Booth Bay Harbor. 282 00:20:10,079 --> 00:20:15,279 Speaker 1: I have the arrowhead and my bureau drawer. I'll regret 283 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,880 giving it up, Colonel, Well, you regretted more of you 284 00:20:19,079 --> 00:20:20,319 keep it? Huh here? 285 00:20:20,319 --> 00:20:20,599 Speaker 2: It is. 286 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:28,839 Speaker 1: Deadly looking, isn't it quite beautiful? Well? Good heavens, I said, 287 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,880 I'll regular deal. And the sky is clear and the 288 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,319 water calm, and there's fog all over the windows. Walking 289 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,200 down there a cursing arrow of it. And stand back, women, 290 00:20:41,279 --> 00:20:45,359 look out, look out. It's smashed out one of the windows. Weymouth, 291 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:51,680 come here, look look greasing toward the beach. But I 292 00:20:51,799 --> 00:20:56,440 can't believe it's in your seat. Yes, yes, a white 293 00:20:56,519 --> 00:21:00,240 sheet flying over the ground, trialing as it goes. Now 294 00:21:00,319 --> 00:21:04,400 it's at the shore. It's going out to see Pindri. 295 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 2: What is it? 296 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: Did you see it? Did you see it? Colonel Hey? 297 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,440 The window is broken? What happened? Did he try to 298 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,839 get in Weymouth had the yarrow head in his hand. 299 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,359 When a tremendous gale rose. Then fog covered the window. 300 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,920 I saw the fog when I yell look out, But 301 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,400 it warn't fog. It will that medicine man who come 302 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,200 out of the sea. Well that's what I saw from 303 00:21:28,279 --> 00:21:32,839 the shorely this afternoon, bogs. What about you, Provessor Wyman? 304 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:40,000 I uh, I saw it too, you believe now, I 305 00:21:40,759 --> 00:21:43,200 don't know what to believe. But who saw it? With 306 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,079 your own eyes? Weymouth? You saw the apparition the ghost 307 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,000 of that Indian medicineman was killed and buried at See 308 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,599 hundreds of years ago. Now are you going to give 309 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,640 their ahead to the colonel? I admit what I saw, 310 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:02,240 but I still can't believe it, and my mind refused 311 00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:06,400 to accept the idea of an avenging ghost. What I 312 00:22:06,599 --> 00:22:12,319 saw might have been an illusion. To Bursted Windy, no illusion, Professor, 313 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,720 So that might be explained in some way other than 314 00:22:14,759 --> 00:22:19,359 the fantastic notion that a ghost which is weightless could 315 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:20,319 have broken that window. 316 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 3: Now what's all of excitement about box the window? 317 00:22:25,559 --> 00:22:29,279 Speaker 1: It goes to the Indian medicine man paid Professor Weymouth 318 00:22:29,319 --> 00:22:30,160 a visit but. 319 00:22:31,559 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 3: Now that's just crazy. 320 00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:35,839 Speaker 4: You mean something that weighs less than a sheet of 321 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:37,759 cheesecloth broke that window. 322 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:45,279 Speaker 1: There's kim, Professor, I don't honestly know, Missus Barges. Now 323 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,920 you were honest enough, and you admitted seeing at Weymouth. 324 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,799 That's true. I did see something like a shroud, a 325 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,039 winding sheet, trying to break through the window. A great 326 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,559 wind preceded its appearance. Then the wind died down, and 327 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,039 the thing, twirling like a top, flew back to the 328 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,599 beach and out to sea, and. 329 00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 5: You saw it. 330 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: It may have been an illusion, but yes, yes, I 331 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,319 did see something. I'll pay for the window, of course, 332 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:24,000 and I think i'll check out tomorrow, if you don't mind, Professor, 333 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:30,720 you mean you're scared, say I'm prudent. It was that 334 00:23:31,039 --> 00:23:36,000 ancestor of yours, George Weymouth. It was cruel to those Indians, 335 00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:38,559 and they want to avenge themselves against the person who 336 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:43,079 bears that name. I'll give you the arrowhead in the morning, colonel, 337 00:23:43,319 --> 00:23:54,119 and head back home. About ten more minutes. 338 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,319 Speaker 6: Frand, I'm glad we telephoned. She was so nice, Missus Box. 339 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,440 She'll have the steamers ready and then the lobster perfect. 340 00:24:01,519 --> 00:24:04,519 Speaker 1: I could eat for hours, then slow down? 341 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 3: Then stop? 342 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 2: What is it? 343 00:24:08,839 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: You sound terrified? 344 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 5: Look up their head? 345 00:24:12,799 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 3: You see them? 346 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: Huh? 347 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 3: Don't you see them? 348 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: Who's them? You mean you don't see I don't even 349 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,559 know where you're talking about, Fran. 350 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 3: The Indians? What Indians? Five of them? 351 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 6: They're dancing around the big pot and listen, drugs. 352 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 3: Indian drugs. 353 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 7: Hey, come on, you're pulling my leg. Indians dancing around 354 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,480 a pot.

I know what I heard and saw 421 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,039 that there must be a rational explanation for what happened, 422 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:17,279 including the breaking of the window, even including that it 423 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,720 must have been some freak kind of pressure.

Even as you and I is a rational man. 427 00:28:46,319 --> 00:28:49,880 He accepts only what he can touch or see. His 428 00:28:50,119 --> 00:28:55,039 mind rejects the possibility of ghosts. But is there anyone 429 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,599 who doesn't know of a haunted house haunted by what 430 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:06,440 a specter? Yes, indeed, Professor Weymouth, for all your education, 431 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:12,319 you cannot prove they don't exist. I'll be back shortly 432 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:27,119 without three. The White Pines Inn is located a few 433 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,799 miles from Pitpsburg on the rocky coast of Maine. Coast 434 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,680 is beautiful but forbidding, as the British found out during 435 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,640 the Revolutionary War, when six thousand men of Maine fought 436 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:46,119 them determinedly. Maine remembers those days of hardship and remembers 437 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,839 her even earlier history. The first settlement in sixteen twenty 438 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,799 on the Saco River, the Abnaki and Etchemen Indians of 439 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,279 the Algonkian family. And who is to say that the 440 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,799 spirits of those dead do not still inhabit those huge 441 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:09,000 forests of white pine for spruce and birch.

The 530 00:35:15,039 --> 00:35:19,800 Indian medicineman somehow he got back in here and thought 531 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,519 he had Weymouth by the net, when what he had 532 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:27,239 was the pillar power for wrench the pillars twisted and 533 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:32,000 half feathers all over, and telling him to leave White 534 00:35:32,079 --> 00:35:32,840 pines tonight. 535 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 3: Do you think we'd better call the police in Pittsburgh. 536 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,079 Speaker 1: They don't believe in apparitions any more than you do. 537 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 4: Mag Well, I'm not sure now that a don't, because 538 00:35:42,039 --> 00:35:43,679 I've never seen anything like this. 539 00:35:44,639 --> 00:35:45,760 Speaker 1: Where is the professor? 540 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,519 Speaker 4: When the colonel began to tell the faradays the story, 541 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,159 the professor went, offer some fresh. 542 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,639 Speaker 1: Air, and I'll find him and tell him to pack 543 00:35:54,719 --> 00:36:04,159 up and leave. Oh, mister Box, I have to have 544 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,599 a word with you, professor. Enjoy your stroll, Wemos. I 545 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,599 just stood outside and breathed deeply and looked at the sky. 546 00:36:13,519 --> 00:36:17,559 Mary went upstairs to turn down your bed. Room was 547 00:36:17,599 --> 00:36:23,519 a shambles. Chairs overturned, bed all rumpled, and the pillar 548 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,079 rung in half. What I haven't been near the room 549 00:36:28,159 --> 00:36:31,599 since dinner time. The ghost of that Indian medicine man's 550 00:36:31,679 --> 00:36:34,800 been there. If you'd been stretched out on that bed, 551 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,760 you'd be dead. That pillar was twisted in two feathers 552 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:43,280 all over the place. Good Lord, I'm sorry to have 553 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,679 to see this, Professor, but I want you to pack 554 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:53,519 and leave tonight. I don't blame you. I'll pay for 555 00:36:53,639 --> 00:36:59,599 all the damage. I'm deeply sorry. Bring me the arrowhead Wemoss. 556 00:37:00,159 --> 00:37:03,960 That's the source of your trouble. Until you've disposed of 557 00:37:04,039 --> 00:37:07,639 the medicine man's arrowhead, you won't have peace, and you 558 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:13,159 may in fact die. Have your doubts about specters, but 559 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:19,039 give me that feet arrowhead. I'm convinced, Colonel. I'll be 560 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:25,800 right back. Even Magg's convinced. Now, Colonel, I'd imagine. So 561 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,960 the professor's a doom man, not if he gets rid 562 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:35,119 of the arrowhead. I think the Faradays have gotten scared off. No, No, 563 00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:37,199 they went a bit about a half an hour ago. 564 00:37:37,679 --> 00:37:41,400 Missus Faraday has the sight bogs like you and me. 565 00:37:42,599 --> 00:37:46,159 When I told her what happened, she believed me. Even 566 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:51,159 her husband began to be convinced they'll stay. But you're 567 00:37:51,280 --> 00:38:00,559 quite right in telling Weymouth to leave tonight A fran 568 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:02,800 stopped fussing and come to bed. 569 00:38:03,119 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 3: Now. I'm not fussing. 570 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 6: I'm just thinking about what the colonel told us about 571 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,199 George Weymouth and how he murdered those five Indians way 572 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,719 back in sixteen hundred and something. 573 00:38:12,039 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, but it's just crazy to think that some old 574 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,760 medicine man is out to murder the professor. 575 00:38:17,079 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 1: He didn't kill those Indians. 576 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,679 Speaker 7: Why is he to blame just because he has the 577 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:21,800 same name, that's all? 578 00:38:22,119 --> 00:38:22,760 Speaker 1: You believe that? 579 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 3: Yes? 580 00:38:24,119 --> 00:38:30,079 Speaker 6: I then, Oh my goodness, what is it?

Look when I touched it 614 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:30,159 just now, it crumpled in my hand.

Hi, I'm very grateful. 620 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,960 Can you tell us what happened? I can. 621 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,079 Speaker 6: I was looking out the window when I saw the 622 00:40:58,159 --> 00:41:00,480 apparition come out of the sea and drip this way. 623 00:41:01,159 --> 00:41:03,880 Then a great wind came up and the thing kind 624 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,840 of embraced the house. It was when the window broke 625 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,480 that the Professor began to cry out. 626 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:15,800 Speaker 1: Had floated in like a small upside down cyclone. I 627 00:41:16,199 --> 00:41:18,880 tried to stay out of its way, but it began 628 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:24,440 to wrap itself around me. It was horrible. What in 629 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,079 Heaven's name was it? What could it be? You know 630 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,440 it was? It was the ghost of the Indian Medicineman 631 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,199 come back to avenge the murder of those five Indian braves. 632 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,559 It was your forbear who killed them, And the spirit 633 00:41:42,679 --> 00:41:46,960 of the Medicineman has never forgotten. When you picked up 634 00:41:47,079 --> 00:41:52,480 that arrowhead, you aroused his spirit. Only by giving up 635 00:41:52,559 --> 00:41:57,199 that arrowhead could you break the fatal connection? Well? Where 636 00:41:58,519 --> 00:41:59,760 where is the arrowhead? 637 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:06,639 Speaker 4: I threw it out the wind, Professor, and something else. 638 00:42:08,559 --> 00:42:13,280 When it hit the rocks below, there was a burst 639 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:14,079 of flame. 640 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:24,360 Speaker 1: And then nothing. I believe it. I believe all of it, Colonel, 641 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:33,880 the five ghostly Indians, they did exist, looking for you, 642 00:42:34,079 --> 00:42:48,440 weymouth that you've lived to tell the story. The dread 643 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,800 of the supernatural goes back to earliest man. As he 644 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:57,400 roamed the earth, he was encompassed by many terrors. There 645 00:42:57,519 --> 00:43:02,679 was the terrible dark, with its countless dangers. Legends about 646 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:08,239 second sight are endless to this day. The avenging specter 647 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,760 of the Indian medicine Man lives as fact in the 648 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:26,639 mind of Professor Weymouth. I'll be back shortly. And the 649 00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:30,559 fascination of terror is as ancient as the human race. 650 00:43:31,519 --> 00:43:36,079 It is stronger than our intellect, stronger even than our fears. 651 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:41,000 It goes to the core of our very being. The brutal, 652 00:43:41,199 --> 00:43:45,320 unnecessary killing of five Indians in sixteen oh five, but 653 00:43:45,519 --> 00:43:49,800 George Weymouth laid a curse on those who bore his surname. 654 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,639 Perhaps there is a kind of real justice. After all, 655 00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:02,920 crimes of long ago unavenged can be avenged. Our cast 656 00:44:03,039 --> 00:44:08,679 included Robert Dryden, Court Benson, Guy Soirell and Potoniac, Suzanne Grossman, 657 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,760 and Jay Gregory. The entire production was under the direction 658 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:20,559 of Hyman Brown. And now a preview of our next tale. 659 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,119 Why did you allow her to leave so early? 660 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,679 Speaker 7: You and I have to talk, Well, whatever we say 661 00:44:28,079 --> 00:44:29,360 would be beyond her. 662 00:44:29,639 --> 00:44:33,320 Speaker 4: Yes, if she's Group three Turn, how. 663 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:34,880 Speaker 1: Could Turn be an inspector? 664 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:40,559 Speaker 8: I suspect her because he's too perfect to absolutely group three. 665 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,679 Speaker 1: I suppose she is an inspector. What have you and 666 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:44,920 I ever said to each other that's reportable? 667 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,639 Speaker 8: I am Head of repair, you are Admiral of the fleet, 668 00:44:49,199 --> 00:44:53,599 and we are about to be disenfranchised. Why Carol, cannot 669 00:44:53,679 --> 00:44:54,800 qualify for Group one. 670 00:44:55,039 --> 00:44:56,400 Speaker 3: He will fail the examination. 671 00:44:56,679 --> 00:44:59,280 Speaker 1: But you took him to repair yourself. He was judged 672 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:00,000 in perfect life. 673 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,920 Speaker 8: Oh yes, because he was examined by a single practitioner 674 00:45:04,639 --> 00:45:06,079 and I was present. 675 00:45:07,199 --> 00:45:09,760 Speaker 1: Do you think she's out of balance? 676 00:45:10,079 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 4: I know it. 677 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,159 Speaker 1: He's one of those I refuse to believe that. 678 00:45:13,519 --> 00:45:14,679 Speaker 3: He refused to accept it. 679 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,079 Speaker 1: Radio Mystery Theater was sponsored in part by Buick Motor Division. 680 00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,440 This is E.
