00:00:01.290 --> 00:00:12.070
Is later than you think.
2
00:00:14.380 --> 00:00:16.920
This is Arch Opeler bringing you another in our series
3
00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:20.480
of stories of the unusual. And once again we caution you,
4
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:24.019
these lights out stories are definitely not for the timid soul.
5
00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:27.679
So we tell you calmly and very sincerely... If you
6
00:00:27.710 --> 00:00:32.179
frighten easily, turn off your radio now. But if you're
7
00:00:32.219 --> 00:00:37.450
fascinated by the mysterious, the fantastic, the unearthly, then anticipate
8
00:00:37.509 --> 00:00:39.789
chills in our story of Poltergeist.
9
00:00:40.390 --> 00:00:46.880
But first, Bob Lamont has a word for you. Remember
10
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.399
the name, Ironized Yeast Tablet.
11
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:06.239
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
12
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:09.379
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse
13
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:10.340
open sleigh.
14
00:01:10.379 --> 00:01:13.500
Hey, that was swell. Now let's go to town.
15
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:14.319
St.
16
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:18.620
Louis woman with her diamond ring.
17
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.329
Kicking that man around. No, stop that, Kay. What's the matter?
18
00:01:23.349 --> 00:01:24.489
Am I scaring the horse?
19
00:01:24.590 --> 00:01:24.769
What?
20
00:01:25.750 --> 00:01:28.269
Seems like a sacrilege singing a song like that out here.
21
00:01:28.290 --> 00:01:33.099
This beautiful, clean snow and... Blue sky? Well, what's wrong
22
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.340
with a hot song to keep us warm? If you
23
00:01:35.379 --> 00:01:37.280
think the St. Louis blues is going to dirty up
24
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:39.459
the snow, you ought to hear Frankie and Johnny the
25
00:01:39.500 --> 00:01:42.239
way I sing it. Oh, stop it, Kay. You're not
26
00:01:42.379 --> 00:01:45.299
funny at all. Why can't you enjoy the fresh air
27
00:01:45.340 --> 00:01:50.209
without that cabaret sort of thing? Oh, just an old-fashioned gal, eh, Florence?
28
00:01:50.769 --> 00:01:53.150
How about you, Edna? Don't you like my songs either?
29
00:01:53.650 --> 00:01:55.670
You haven't said anything for the last five minutes.
30
00:01:55.849 --> 00:01:58.709
Well, I haven't been listening to you to tell the truth.
31
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.920
I love to watch the snow sort of flow along
32
00:02:01.980 --> 00:02:02.640
under the sleigh.
33
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.790
When you say that, gals, smile. Gosh, do you ever
34
00:02:05.810 --> 00:02:07.650
see more snow in your life? The man at the
35
00:02:07.709 --> 00:02:09.509
hotel said it had been snowing on and off up
36
00:02:09.550 --> 00:02:10.289
here for two weeks.
37
00:02:10.669 --> 00:02:12.270
I think coming out here to the country is the
38
00:02:12.289 --> 00:02:14.780
best thing we three have done since we started grooming together.
39
00:02:15.379 --> 00:02:17.800
Hiking in the snow is terribly healthy. Yeah, that's what
40
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.419
I'm afraid of. The healthier I get, the worse I feel.
41
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.620
Crazy idiot. She does say the funniest things, doesn't she?
42
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:26.330
I always say that Kay ought to.
43
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:26.460
Whoa!
44
00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:31.189
Hallelujah, we're here. Is this as far as we go, driver?
45
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:32.210
That's right, miss.
46
00:02:32.469 --> 00:02:35.050
Can't go no further down this road to counter the drift.
47
00:02:35.430 --> 00:02:37.909
Oh, my goodness. The drifts are too deep for a
48
00:02:37.909 --> 00:02:40.270
horse hawk and we walk through them. I second the motion.
49
00:02:40.409 --> 00:02:42.729
Well, you young ladies don't have to worry none so
50
00:02:42.770 --> 00:02:44.110
long as you keep going down the.
51
00:02:44.090 --> 00:02:44.879
Valley over there.
52
00:02:45.509 --> 00:02:48.580
Snow ain't piled up that way all the way to Marjankin.
53
00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:49.699
Oh, that's marvelous.
54
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:50.819
Come on, girls.
55
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:52.659
Let's get started. So long.
56
00:02:53.340 --> 00:02:55.219
Take care of yourselves, girls. Come on, Edna.
57
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:56.180
Goodbye, Mr.
58
00:02:56.259 --> 00:02:56.580
Farrell.
59
00:02:58.189 --> 00:03:02.430
Listen to the snow talking at us. It's very dry snow.
60
00:03:03.469 --> 00:03:05.569
Our feet rub particles of it together and the friction
61
00:03:05.590 --> 00:03:08.449
makes a sound. It's kind of scary.
62
00:03:08.530 --> 00:03:09.599
Isn't it?
63
00:03:09.610 --> 00:03:10.889
Why? Well, I don't know.
64
00:03:10.909 --> 00:03:13.379
It's just as if the snow was sort of trying
65
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.560
to talk to us. I mean, as if it was
66
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.060
angry at our trespassing.
67
00:03:17.139 --> 00:03:19.819
Hey, don't tell me we're trespassers. I don't want any
68
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.860
country squire taking any pot shots at my constitutional amendment
69
00:03:23.900 --> 00:03:27.050
with rock salt. No, thank you. Oh, don't talk nonsense, Kay.
70
00:03:27.090 --> 00:03:29.830
We're not trespassing. Why, this path through the valley here
71
00:03:29.870 --> 00:03:31.930
over to Mrs. Jenkins' house is the favorite hike of
72
00:03:32.150 --> 00:03:34.490
everyone who comes up this way during the winter. What's Mrs.
73
00:03:34.509 --> 00:03:36.930
Jenkins got anyway that makes people walk their feet off?
74
00:03:38.349 --> 00:03:41.020
Wait till you taste her cooking. Eat. Oh, boy, let's go.
75
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.439
It's awfully quiet out here, isn't it? Oh, that's the
76
00:03:44.539 --> 00:03:47.599
glory of it. I've had the roar of the subway
77
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:51.419
in my ears so long. Okay, don't walk so fast.
78
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.430
Come on, look what I found. Oh, come on, Edna. Oh, please,
79
Load full transcript
00:03:55.110 --> 00:03:57.189
let me take your arm. I'm getting out of breath. Well,
80
00:03:57.210 --> 00:04:02.030
take it easy. There's no hurry. Well, what is it, Kay? Look,
81
00:04:02.090 --> 00:04:05.900
through the circle of trees here. Look what I discovered. Well,
82
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:10.039
isn't that interesting? It's a sort of a natural amphitheater.
83
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:10.699
Sure.
84
00:04:11.020 --> 00:04:15.639
Say, who was this guy, Daniel Boone? What's an amphitheater? Well,
85
00:04:15.939 --> 00:04:19.060
that means an oval surfing place with rising tiers of seats. It's,
86
00:04:19.660 --> 00:04:21.040
you know, like that place we went to for the
87
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:23.560
horse show. Oh. Back in the times of the Greeks,
88
00:04:23.610 --> 00:04:25.699
they had outdoor theaters. Listen to the professor. They made
89
00:04:25.790 --> 00:04:28.110
use of places just like this where the ground sloped
90
00:04:28.189 --> 00:04:30.310
up and made a sort of a natural arena or
91
00:04:30.370 --> 00:04:33.949
stage below. Theater. That's an idea. Sit down, gals, and
92
00:04:33.970 --> 00:04:36.490
I'll give you a special performance of the cave follies.
93
00:04:36.810 --> 00:04:39.129
It's awful snowy here, isn't it? I'll trample it down
94
00:04:39.170 --> 00:04:44.629
with my spring dance. Welcome, sweet space. She's really grateful,
95
00:04:44.670 --> 00:04:47.980
isn't she? I'll bet if she went on the stage.
96
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:48.360
Ow!
97
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:48.839
Kay!
98
00:04:49.180 --> 00:04:51.639
Kay, did you hurt yourself? Oh, did I land on
99
00:04:51.699 --> 00:04:54.939
my dignity? Here, give me a hand. Here, I'll help you.
100
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:56.639
There you are.
101
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.810
Oh, did I take a flop. Did you hurt yourself badly? Oh, Liv,
102
00:05:01.209 --> 00:05:02.790
what in the world did I trip over?
103
00:05:03.589 --> 00:05:04.389
Oh, no wonder.
104
00:05:04.829 --> 00:05:07.189
Look at that rock under the snow. No wonder I
105
00:05:07.230 --> 00:05:10.649
did a nosedive. Oh, gee. There are rocks like that
106
00:05:10.709 --> 00:05:11.110
all over.
107
00:05:11.129 --> 00:05:12.860
A person could break their neck if they.
108
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.800
Girls, what's the matter? What is it? Kay, the rock
109
00:05:15.819 --> 00:05:19.540
you tripped over. It's not a rock. What are you
110
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.810
talking about? Of course it's a rock. Well, yes, but
111
00:05:21.850 --> 00:05:28.430
it's something more than that. It's a tombstone. Tombstone? Oh, no,
112
00:05:28.470 --> 00:05:32.449
it can't be. Look for yourself. It says, here lies
113
00:05:32.529 --> 00:05:36.279
buried the remains of one who, restless in life... Stop.
114
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.220
Don't worry anymore. Stop. And all these other stones laying
115
00:05:40.339 --> 00:05:44.639
flat on the ground, they're tombstones, too? Yes. What a
116
00:05:44.740 -->
00:05:47.459
place to fix a dance. What's the matter, Edna? What
117
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:52.420
did you scream for? Kay, you danced on the grave. What?
118
00:05:52.819 --> 00:05:54.790
You danced on the grave. I saw you. I saw
119
00:05:54.810 --> 00:05:56.649
you do it. You danced on the grave.
120
00:05:57.089 --> 00:05:57.490
Okay.
121
00:05:57.550 --> 00:05:58.410
Edna, stop it.
122
00:05:58.550 --> 00:05:59.089
Stop it.
123
00:05:59.110 --> 00:05:59.810
What's come into her?
124
00:05:59.850 --> 00:06:01.769
Edna, stop acting like that. Edna, stop. For heaven's sake,
125
00:06:01.790 --> 00:06:06.209
control yourself. Okay. Kay, I'm so sorry for you. You
126
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.600
danced on a grave. For heaven's sake, stop talking like that.
127
00:06:08.620 --> 00:06:10.680
Sure I danced on a grave. Yes, of course she did.
128
00:06:10.699 --> 00:06:11.740
It was perfectly accidental.
129
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:12.420
And what if it wasn't?
130
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:17.720
What of it? The poltergeist. The what? Edna Hansen, what
131
00:06:17.740 --> 00:06:22.660
are you talking about? What's that word you just used? Poltergeist. Kay,
132
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.000
what have you done? You superstitious little fool.
133
00:06:25.019 --> 00:06:26.660
If you don't stop talking that way, I'm going to
134
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:27.339
slap your face.
135
00:06:27.660 --> 00:06:29.680
What's the matter with you? I didn't do anything. You
136
00:06:29.699 --> 00:06:32.139
walked on the grave. You danced on the grave. Edna,
137
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.500
be sensible. We all walked on graves, but it was
138
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:37.560
purely accidental. Yeah. We had no intention of desecrating them.
139
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:40.279
It doesn't matter, I tell you. It doesn't matter. The poltergeist,
140
00:06:40.540 --> 00:06:40.939
he'll come.
141
00:06:41.019 --> 00:06:41.839
I know he will.
142
00:06:41.860 --> 00:06:43.980
Oh, what's the use? She's crazy. Edna, what are you
143
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.819
talking about? What's the poltergeist? What are you so frightened about?
144
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.730
My father, he told me, if you walk on a grave,
145
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:53.060
if you dance on a grave, A poltergeist.
146
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:53.879
Poltergeist?
147
00:06:53.939 --> 00:06:54.220
What?
148
00:06:54.259 --> 00:06:57.019
What is a poltergeist? An evil spirit. It comes out
149
00:06:57.060 --> 00:06:59.819
of the grave. It kills. It destroys. It'll kill us.
150
00:06:59.980 --> 00:07:00.779
It'll kill us all.
151
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:01.079
Stop it.
152
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:02.339
It's the wrong thing to do.
153
00:07:02.379 --> 00:07:03.040
Oh, please.
154
00:07:03.060 --> 00:07:07.040
Lay off that way, Edna. Edna. But it won't get me. Edna,
155
00:07:07.100 --> 00:07:09.720
come back here. She's gone insane. I'll get her. Edna,
156
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.850
catch her. Edna. Edna, don't run
away. Nothing will hurt you. Nothing. Oh, Edna,
157
00:07:13.870 --> 00:07:14.410
look out.
158
00:07:14.430 --> 00:07:15.949
Kay.
159
00:07:16.569 --> 00:07:17.269
Kay, what happened?
160
00:07:17.730 --> 00:07:20.149
That stone. It hit Edna.
161
00:07:20.410 --> 00:07:20.629
Edna.
162
00:07:21.230 --> 00:07:22.029
Edna, open your eyes.
163
00:07:22.129 --> 00:07:22.509
Blood.
164
00:07:22.529 --> 00:07:25.850
Blood all over her face. Kay, who threw that stone?
165
00:07:25.870 --> 00:07:32.930
Who threw it? I don't know. It came from the graveyard.
166
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:46.399
Ladies and gentlemen, a deep breath. We all need one
167
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.680
before we go on with the story of Kay, Florence,
168
00:07:49.740 --> 00:07:55.009
and Edna. The story of Poltergeist on tonight's Lights Out.
169
00:07:57.029 --> 00:07:59.649
You and I are rational people, and yet so many
170
00:07:59.709 --> 00:08:03.040
strange things are happening today, happening to people all around us.
171
00:08:04.220 --> 00:08:04.779
How about you?
172
00:08:04.899 --> 00:08:10.100
Are you worried about what's going on to your physical condition? Now,
173
00:08:11.220 --> 00:08:16.459
to return to Lights Out. Three girls had started on
174
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:19.740
a happy holiday. Now one of them has been gravely injured.
175
00:08:33.889 --> 00:08:36.269
Now, girls, take it easy. Take it easy.
176
00:08:36.409 --> 00:08:40.120
Oh, doctor, she won't die. Tell me she won't die.
177
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:41.500
Oh, no, of course not.
178
00:08:41.899 --> 00:08:43.720
And you're sure that her skull isn't fractured?
179
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:46.799
Oh, absolutely not. Maybe a little concussion, that's all.
180
00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:51.860
Well, it's almost five. Our train. Can we get someone
181
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:53.620
to help us carry her down to the station so
182
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:54.679
we can get her on board?
183
00:08:55.100 --> 00:08:58.120
Board? I'm telling you, that little friend of yours shouldn't
184
00:08:58.139 --> 00:09:01.259
be moved out of bed for a week. If you do, well,
185
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:02.500
it might be just too bad.
186
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:06.240
Oh, Flo, what do we do? You go home, Kay.
187
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:09.259
I'll stay with her. Oh, no, you won't. I'm not
188
00:09:09.299 --> 00:09:12.490
leaving you here alone in this godforsaken place. If you stay,
189
00:09:12.549 --> 00:09:14.850
I stay, too, Kate. Please be sensible. Why should we
190
00:09:14.909 --> 00:09:16.110
all lose our jobs when you can.
191
00:09:16.129 --> 00:09:18.549
If you'll excuse me, you ladies, I've got to be
192
00:09:18.629 --> 00:09:19.129
on my way.
193
00:09:19.389 --> 00:09:21.669
Oh, yes, of course, Doctor. Is there anything more you
194
00:09:21.690 --> 00:09:24.129
can do for Edna, Doctor? Any medicine or something?
195
00:09:24.330 --> 00:09:29.610
Nope, I've done all I can do. She's sleeping comfortable now. Uh, Miss?
196
00:09:29.970 --> 00:09:30.629
Yes, Doctor?
197
00:09:31.029 --> 00:09:33.309
The constable's sick, too, you know, and he's sort of
198
00:09:33.409 --> 00:09:37.360
dependent on me to keep things straight. Now, just how
199
00:09:37.389 --> 00:09:39.409
did you say that little friend of yours got hurt?
200
00:09:39.970 --> 00:09:42.710
Well, it was just the way we explained, Doctor, that
201
00:09:42.990 --> 00:09:44.080
rock came flying and.
202
00:09:44.110 --> 00:09:46.429
Yes, yes, I know, but who threw the rock?
203
00:09:47.309 --> 00:09:52.350
We... we don't know. What? That's true, Doctor. We don't know.
204
00:09:52.649 --> 00:09:55.950
But somebody threw it. You can't change facts. Somebody threw
205
00:09:55.990 --> 00:09:56.450
the rock.
206
00:09:56.309 --> 00:09:57.029
That cracked her head.
207
00:09:57.090 --> 00:09:59.899
For heaven's sakes, old man, you don't think we did it? No, miss, I.
208
00:09:59.970 --> 00:10:00.610
didn't.
209
00:10:01.049 --> 00:10:03.950
Doctor, you've got to believe us. It happened just the
210
00:10:03.970 --> 00:10:06.500
way we said. All at once, that rock came flying
211
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:09.159
through the air from the direction of the graveyard. It
212
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.039
struck Ed in, and we just didn't see who threw it.
213
00:10:12.860 --> 00:10:15.220
All right, if that's your story. Well, you'd better stay
214
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:15.980
in your rooms here.
215
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.480
I mean, you'd better not be leaving until the constable's
216
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:20.190
on his feet and has a chance to talk with you.
217
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:22.500
I'll be back in a few hours and see how
218
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.679
the girl is.
219
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:31.000
He doesn't believe us. What difference does it make? We
220
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:34.960
know what we saw. But what did we see? She
221
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:36.700
was running. She fell.
222
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:38.850
Okay.
223
00:10:39.610 --> 00:10:43.909
Well, let's not fool ourselves. There was no one there
224
00:10:43.950 --> 00:10:45.690
to throw that rock. There must have been.
225
00:10:45.710 --> 00:10:47.649
But there wasn't.
226
00:10:48.009 --> 00:10:51.389
Stop saying that. Aren't you brave enough to face facts?
227
00:10:52.070 --> 00:10:55.110
There wasn't any place for anyone to hide. I saw
228
00:10:55.149 --> 00:10:58.240
that stone. It seemed to come down out of the air.
229
00:10:59.620 --> 00:11:00.620
So slowly.
230
00:11:00.899 --> 00:11:02.639
Florence, if you don't stop talking like that.
231
00:11:02.659 --> 00:11:06.759
Do you remember what... what Edna said? It throws things.
232
00:11:07.419 --> 00:11:10.409
Stop looking at me like that. You're giving me the jitters.
233
00:11:10.529 --> 00:11:15.389
She said the poltergeist throws things. Spirit of evil. Florence, Rob,
234
00:11:15.409 --> 00:11:17.370
have you gone crazy too? Why should we laugh at
235
00:11:17.429 --> 00:11:20.169
things like that? What right have we got to laugh?
236
00:11:20.909 --> 00:11:23.029
How do we know there aren't powers we can't see
237
00:11:23.070 --> 00:11:26.649
or understand? Powers of evil that revenge an insult just
238
00:11:26.710 --> 00:11:29.149
like an evil man. Kay, how do we know?
239
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.860
What are you talking like that for? What are you
240
00:11:31.889 --> 00:11:34.759
trying to scare me for? You, you're supposed to be
241
00:11:34.779 --> 00:11:36.980
the most intelligent one of us all. You with your
242
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:40.600
college degrees. Sure, sure, I danced on the grave. But
243
00:11:40.620 --> 00:11:42.460
the dead are dead and they can't revenge a thing.
244
00:11:42.970 --> 00:11:45.889
I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of anything. I tell you,
245
00:11:45.909 --> 00:11:46.269
it's not.
246
00:11:46.350 --> 00:11:46.509
What?
247
00:11:46.690 --> 00:11:49.710
It's Edna. Come on. Edna, we're coming to you. Don't
248
00:11:49.730 --> 00:11:52.049
be afraid. We're coming. Open the door, Florence.
249
00:11:52.129 --> 00:11:52.750
It's not locked.
250
00:11:52.929 --> 00:11:53.940
Doc, it won't open.
251
00:11:53.980 --> 00:11:56.720
Here, let me. Edna, what is it? What?
252
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:08.960
Edna, what? On your head. Oh. Oh.
253
00:12:17.899 --> 00:12:19.120
Hey, what's going on here?
254
00:12:20.860 --> 00:12:21.080
Oh.
255
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:27.940
The girl on the bed.
256
00:12:29.500 --> 00:12:30.399
Her head.
257
00:12:31.779 --> 00:12:38.389
It's crushed flat in by a rock. God in heaven.
258
00:12:39.850 --> 00:12:40.590
It's not a rock.
259
00:12:41.330 --> 00:12:42.429
It's a tombstone. I.
260
00:12:42.409 --> 00:12:52.720
I wish I could cry.
261
00:12:54.539 --> 00:12:58.309
But I haven't got any more tears. Oh, Edna.
262
00:13:06.950 --> 00:13:07.110
Ed.
263
00:13:08.289 --> 00:13:12.200
Florence, darling, please. You'll kill yourself if you keep on
264
00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:16.240
like that. Oh, this horrible night would only end.
265
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:17.940
It was my fault.
266
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:18.940
Mine.
267
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.879
I was the one who got her out here. She
268
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:27.679
didn't want to go. She hates the country. But I
269
00:13:27.710 --> 00:13:30.309
made her come. I made her.
270
00:13:30.710 --> 00:13:31.090
No.
271
00:13:32.389 --> 00:13:36.830
No, you're not the one to blame. I am. I
272
00:13:36.889 --> 00:13:43.110
danced on the grave. But she was so good, so sweet. Oh,
273
00:13:43.250 --> 00:13:50.029
I didn't have to be Edna. Why? You're right. It
274
00:13:50.100 --> 00:13:52.039
wasn't right for it to be her, was it?
275
00:13:52.220 --> 00:13:53.000
Oh, no.
276
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:54.120
I did it, not her.
277
00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:55.740
I did it.
278
00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:59.559
I danced on the grave. I danced on the grave.
279
00:14:04.870 --> 00:14:06.509
You can't deny what you see with your own eyes.
280
00:14:06.570 --> 00:14:09.009
But I tell you, Doc, nobody could have carried that
281
00:14:09.149 --> 00:14:11.639
tombstone up the steps without me seeing them, could they?
282
00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:12.940
But there it is, ain't it?
283
00:14:13.500 --> 00:14:13.860
Yeah.
284
00:14:15.340 --> 00:14:19.240
There it is. Either somebody's playing a terrible joke or.
285
00:14:21.899 --> 00:14:23.139
You don't have to say it, Doc.
286
00:14:23.899 --> 00:14:26.320
I know. That's just the trouble. You don't know and
287
00:14:26.379 --> 00:14:28.179
I don't know. And nobody knows.
288
00:14:28.590 --> 00:14:29.000
Yeah.
289
00:14:29.870 --> 00:14:30.009
And.
290
00:14:31.210 --> 00:14:33.960
And that tombstone. Well, what about the tombstone? I.
291
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:38.080
I ain't quite sure, but that's a tombstone out of
292
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:40.000
the old burying grounds up at the bend.
293
00:14:40.059 --> 00:14:42.679
You're crazy. No, I ain't either. Well, that place is
294
00:14:42.700 --> 00:14:44.759
a good three miles from here. Yeah.
295
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:46.399
I know.
296
00:14:46.580 --> 00:14:48.620
Who could have carted a heavy stone like that for
297
00:14:48.659 --> 00:14:50.289
three miles? Yeah.
298
00:14:51.509 --> 00:14:51.629
Who?
299
00:14:51.970 --> 00:14:55.529
Stop looking like that, you flappiered old fool. Human hands
300
00:14:55.590 --> 00:14:58.009
carried that stone in here and killed that girl?
301
00:14:58.950 --> 00:14:59.409
Sure.
302
00:15:00.090 --> 00:15:01.889
The constable will find out who did it the minute
303
00:15:01.929 --> 00:15:03.610
he's on his feet again. You wait and see.
304
00:15:03.710 --> 00:15:06.649
No, he won't, Doc. You're smarter than me and all that,
305
00:15:06.690 --> 00:15:10.370
but this time you're wrong. There ain't nobody that takes
306
00:15:10.450 --> 00:15:12.950
in breath and leaves out breath like you and me.
307
00:15:13.309 --> 00:15:15.610
Or the constable's going to find out who killed that girl.
308
00:15:16.009 --> 00:15:16.870
You know that, Doc.
309
00:15:17.149 --> 00:15:20.730
Oh, stop talking. I wish the constable was here and
310
00:15:20.789 --> 00:15:31.059
this night was over. It's been a terrible night. Terrible.
311
00:15:31.100 --> 00:15:39.389
Terrible clock ticking. Yeah, I know. I've been sitting here
312
00:15:39.470 --> 00:15:43.500
listening to it. I can't stand it anymore. I'll stop it.
313
00:15:43.529 --> 00:15:48.340
Why bother with it? Come on to bed, Kay. Please.
314
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:52.460
There's no use sitting there. It won't help her.
315
00:15:53.100 --> 00:15:53.440
Yeah.
316
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.759
Nothing can help her. But maybe I can help you.
317
00:15:59.779 --> 00:15:59.960
Me?
318
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:01.320
It was my fault.
319
00:16:01.860 --> 00:16:02.159
Mine.
320
00:16:03.139 --> 00:16:06.000
I was the reason it happened. It killed
her and
321
00:16:06.009 --> 00:16:08.259
it'll kill you and me too unless I stop. No,
322
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:12.480
don't say that. It's true. But why should you be hurt?
323
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:18.860
I'm to blame, not you. Listen, Flo. I'll go out there. There?
324
00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:22.090
Out there to the graveyard. What? I'll talk to her.
325
00:16:22.139 --> 00:16:22.460
Okay.
326
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:23.919
I'll tell her I didn't mean to do it. No.
327
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:26.519
That I didn't know where I was dancing. Maybe somehow
328
00:16:26.580 --> 00:16:30.090
it'll hear, listen to me. And then it won't hurt you. Oh, no, no,
329
00:16:30.149 --> 00:16:31.700
I won't let you go out there. It'll kill you.
330
00:16:31.730 --> 00:16:32.090
But, Florence.
331
00:16:32.110 --> 00:16:34.350
It'll kill you, too. Florence... No, no, I'll hold you.
332
00:16:34.389 --> 00:16:35.090
You can't go.
333
00:16:35.149 --> 00:16:35.769
You can't.
334
00:16:37.750 --> 00:16:37.990
All right.
335
00:16:39.009 --> 00:16:42.250
Come on to bed, Kay, please. In the morning.
336
00:16:42.269 --> 00:16:43.509
In the morning.
337
00:16:43.570 --> 00:16:45.830
Things will be different. But it won't... Nothing will hurt us.
338
00:16:46.090 --> 00:16:47.929
And then they're right outside the door. They won't let
339
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:53.960
anything get at us. Oh, please, Kay, please, come to bed. Yeah. We'll...
340
00:16:55.299 --> 00:16:55.919
We'll pray. Pray?
341
00:16:57.100 --> 00:16:58.799
Pray? I.
342
00:17:00.059 --> 00:17:02.700
I don't exactly know how. Just say anything.
343
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:03.779
Anything.
344
00:17:04.019 --> 00:17:08.180
Like this. Now I lay me down to sleep. I
345
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:11.440
pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should
346
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.180
die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul
347
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:14.640
to take.
348
00:17:15.779 --> 00:17:16.160
Now you.
349
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:24.119
If I should die before I wake, I pray the
350
00:17:24.180 --> 00:17:27.089
Lord my soul to take.
351
00:17:36.569 --> 00:17:44.690
Kay? Kay, are you asleep? I can't sleep anymore. Kay, tomorrow,
352
00:17:45.130 --> 00:17:47.750
I mean when it gets light and everything, do you
353
00:17:47.789 --> 00:17:50.569
think people will believe us? Do you think so, Kay?
354
00:17:52.589 --> 00:17:55.910
I'm not quite sure what happened. I always used to
355
00:17:55.950 --> 00:17:58.660
be so sure about things. And now I.
356
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:01.269
Kay?
357
00:18:02.670 --> 00:18:05.329
Kay, where are you? Kay, where.
358
00:18:07.390 --> 00:18:07.869
The window.
359
00:18:08.630 --> 00:18:14.680
She went out the window. She's gone out there. To
360
00:18:14.700 --> 00:18:19.819
the graveyard. To talk to Ed. Oh, Kay, why did
361
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:24.039
you go? Why did you go? I'll go out there, too.
362
00:18:24.059 --> 00:18:28.230
We should be so frightened out there alone. I'll go, too.
363
00:18:29.339 --> 00:18:35.940
I'll go, too. Oh, it's so cold.
364
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:37.789
My hands.
365
00:18:37.809 --> 00:18:43.890
The snow's so sharp. Cutting my legs. Oh, why did
366
00:18:43.910 --> 00:18:47.509
you go out there, Kay? Why did you? I've got
367
00:18:47.549 --> 00:18:57.390
to find you. The wind. Oh, why doesn't the wind stop? Blow, blow,
368
00:18:57.470 --> 00:19:00.849
thou winter wind. Though I'm not so unkind as.
369
00:19:02.710 --> 00:19:12.170
I've got to find you, Kate. I've got to find you.
370
00:19:13.170 --> 00:19:14.170
It's snowing.
371
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:20.119
I love snow. And I didn't like snow. Where are you, Kate?
372
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:21.480
Where are you?
373
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:25.859
I've lost my way. I've lost the road.
374
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:28.420
Where are you, Kate?
375
00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:37.500
Kate, where are... Oh, Kay. I heard you, Kay. I
376
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.230
heard you. I'm coming to you, Kay. We'll talk to it.
377
00:19:41.250 --> 00:19:43.609
We'll talk to it together. We'll tell her we didn't
378
00:19:43.650 --> 00:19:47.809
mean any harm, won't we, Kay? Won't we? Poor Edna.
379
00:19:47.950 --> 00:19:50.940
We can't help her, Kay. We can't help Edna. But
380
00:19:50.980 --> 00:19:52.140
I'm coming to help you, Kay.
381
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:53.099
I'm coming.
382
00:19:53.660 --> 00:19:58.119
I'm coming. Yes, I hear you.
383
00:19:58.660 --> 00:19:59.039
I hear you.
384
00:19:59.099 --> 00:20:01.720
I'm coming, darling. I'm coming to help. I'm coming to
385
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:04.029
help you. I'm coming. I'm coming.
386
00:20:04.849 --> 00:20:05.369
I hear you.
387
00:20:06.069 --> 00:20:09.240
I hear you calling my name. I hear you. Yes.
388
00:20:12.460 --> 00:20:16.609
Yes, I hear you.
389
00:20:16.740 --> 00:20:20.950
I hear you. Where are you? Where are you? No! No!
390
00:20:40.339 --> 00:20:41.039
This way, Hooper.
391
00:20:41.259 --> 00:20:42.279
They must have come this way.
392
00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:45.200
Climbing out the window like that in the middle of
393
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.640
the night. They must have gone crazy, the both of them.
394
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:52.539
Let's not worry about that now. We've got to find them. Here,
395
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:53.059
give me that lantern.
396
00:20:53.180 --> 00:20:53.759
What is it, Doc?
397
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:56.839
What have you found? A shoe. One of the girl's shoes.
398
00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:59.839
My gosh, stuck in the snow. We're going the right way.
399
00:20:59.859 --> 00:21:02.180
Come on, move fast. We've got to get to them.
400
00:21:02.460 --> 00:21:04.759
Doc, look at this. What is it?
401
00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:05.619
Over there.
402
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:07.339
Ain't these footprints?
403
00:21:07.859 --> 00:21:08.059
Yes.
404
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:09.359
Yes.
405
00:21:09.380 --> 00:21:09.450
Yes.
406
00:21:10.220 -->
00:21:14.980
Yes, that's right. Footprints. Hello?
407
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:15.980
Up ahead.
408
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:25.089
Hello? Doc, we're getting pretty close to the old burying grounds.
409
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:25.849
Well?
410
00:21:26.460 --> 00:21:30.450
Maybe. Oh, look here, Doc. Let's not be fools.
411
00:21:31.089 --> 00:21:31.970
Let's wait till morning.
412
00:21:32.150 --> 00:21:32.609
What?
413
00:21:33.230 --> 00:21:37.160
Let those frightened girls freeze to death? Get along. But, Doc, I.
414
00:21:37.180 --> 00:21:39.859
Come with me or the whole town will know what
415
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:41.559
a yellow-livered no-good you are.
416
00:21:41.819 --> 00:21:52.369
All right. All right. You don't have to get so sore, Doc. Hello? Hello?
417
00:21:53.630 --> 00:21:55.230
Anybody up there?
418
00:21:56.490 --> 00:21:58.190
Hello?
419
00:21:58.630 --> 00:22:01.289
Doc. Doc, look. What?
420
00:22:02.009 --> 00:22:05.880
There they are. Up ahead. Glory be, they're alive.
421
00:22:06.299 --> 00:22:07.039
The both of them.
422
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:10.400
Come on, Doc. Doc, look at them.
423
00:22:11.109 --> 00:22:12.549
That's the burying ground up there.
424
00:22:12.569 --> 00:22:13.990
And they're dancing.
425
00:22:14.650 --> 00:22:17.470
Dancing on the graves. Well, they must be out of
426
00:22:17.509 --> 00:22:20.230
their heads. Come on, we've got to stop them.
427
00:22:23.109 --> 00:22:31.619
Doc. Doc, wait for me. Oh, Doc, it's... It's Doc again.
428
00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:31.710
Doc.
429
00:22:34.740 --> 00:22:35.519
Where are they, Doc?
430
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:38.039
Where are the girls?
431
00:22:39.019 --> 00:22:41.119
Have they... Have they stopped dancing?
432
00:22:42.539 --> 00:22:42.819
Yes.
433
00:22:43.789 --> 00:22:45.009
They've stopped dancing.
434
00:22:46.589 --> 00:22:47.140
Did....
435
00:22:48.490 --> 00:22:51.630
Did they ever dance? What are you talking about, Doc?
436
00:22:52.549 --> 00:22:53.349
We saw them.
437
00:22:54.369 --> 00:22:56.750
We saw them dancing in this place with our own eyes.
438
00:22:57.829 --> 00:23:04.009
Did we? The moonlight. Here it comes again. see with
439
00:23:04.049 --> 00:23:04.910
your eyes again.
440
00:23:05.250 --> 00:23:10.329
Oh, no.
441
00:23:14.009 --> 00:23:19.269
Both of the girls froze stiff to the ground, each
442
00:23:19.410 --> 00:23:42.589
with her head crushed by a Um, Stroblur, would you
443
00:23:42.609 --> 00:23:47.210
mind telling us, me, whether there actually are such things
444
00:23:47.309 --> 00:23:48.609
as poltergeists?
445
00:23:49.430 --> 00:23:50.430
All I can tell you is this.
446
00:23:51.269 --> 00:23:54.380
There are authenticated records in existence that in the city
447
00:23:54.420 --> 00:23:58.539
of London on the 27th day of April, 1872, from
448
00:23:58.619 --> 00:24:01.599
four in the afternoon on a Thursday until half past
449
00:24:01.660 --> 00:24:04.420
eleven at night, a certain room in a certain house
450
00:24:04.460 --> 00:24:07.670
was deluged by stones thrown from no apparent source.
451
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:11.380
The London police surrounded the house, but they found.
452
00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:14.700
No trace of whoever or whatever was throwing those stones
453
00:24:14.740 --> 00:24:16.000
with a murderous violence.
454
00:24:17.619 --> 00:24:18.000
I see.
455
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.769
So much for poltergeist. But what about next week? That's
456
00:24:22.789 --> 00:24:24.250
something I'll tell you about in a moment.
457
00:24:24.670 --> 00:24:24.890
Good.
458
00:24:25.509 --> 00:24:35.779
Meantime, friends, here... Fair enough? Then if you need more
459
00:24:35.859 --> 00:24:39.049
vitamin B and iron... Ask your druggist for the genuine,
460
00:24:39.470 --> 00:24:45.750
the one and only, ironized yeast tablets. And now, Mr. Obler,
461
00:24:45.950 --> 00:24:46.890
what happens next week?
462
00:24:47.589 --> 00:24:52.190
Well, anything can happen, but specifically next week, Mangara. A
463
00:24:52.250 --> 00:24:55.589
strange title and a strange story. A power of suggestion.
464
00:24:56.069 --> 00:24:58.690
The dictators have shown us to what evil purposes that
465
00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:01.539
power can be used. Well, next week, a man who...
466
00:25:02.579 --> 00:25:04.559
But that, as usual, is next week.
467
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:05.200
Yes.
468
00:25:06.089 --> 00:25:08.809
Lights Out, written and directed by Arch Obler, will come
469
00:25:08.829 --> 00:25:11.529
to you again next Tuesday at this same time. Be
470
00:25:11.569 --> 00:25:14.890
sure to listen for the amazing story of Mungara. And
471
00:25:14.930 --> 00:25:16.970
if you need more vitamin B and iron, be sure
472
00:25:17.009 --> 00:25:20.430
to try Ironized Yeast, the one and only Ironized Yeast,
473
00:25:20.809 --> 00:25:23.349
with the big letters IY on the package and on
474
00:25:23.410 --> 00:25:23.910
each tablet.
475
00:25:29.500 --> 00:25:36.960
It's... is later than you think.
