SUSPENSE: GHOST HUNT (JUNE 23, 1949)

Ralph Edwards stars in H. R. Wakefield's classic ghost story about "Smiley" Smith, a disc jockey who plans to spend the night in a haunted house in which four people were known to have committed suicide.  Certainly nothing can go wrong here, can it?

Produced and directed by Anton M. Leader and adapted by Walter Newman.

Enjoy.

Harding, Carl Jacobi, H. P. Lovecraft, Seabury Quinn, Clark Ashton Smith, Manly Wade Wellman, and -- of course, Wakefield), where "Ghost Hunt" first appeared:
