Another journey into the realm of the strange and terrifying.

I hope you will enjoy the trip that it will thrill you a little and chill you a little.

So settle back.

Get a good grip on your nerves.

Where are we going?

You'll find out when we get there.

All right, everybody, welcome back to the show.

I want to kick off your weekend with another play from the CBS Radio Mystery Theater.

The title of this one is The Phantom Lullaby.

And this one aired May 29th of 1974.

Enjoy.

Music. Enjoy. Come in. Welcome. Welcome. I'm E.G. Marshall.

Do come in. Make yourself comfortable because I'm going to tell you a nice, quiet little ghost story.

Nothing to frighten you. Not badly, at any rate. Nothing to make you run screaming into the street. No,

the most this ghost story can do is make you snuggle down deeper under the covers and reach

out for a hand to hold. A hand I trust that is firm and warm, not clammy and cold.

Our mystery drama, The Phantom Lullaby, was written especially for the mystery theater by Elspeth Eric and stars Rosemary Murphy and Arnold Moss.

Music and Arnold Moss. I myself have never met a ghost.

I don't know why.

Perhaps something in my personality puts them off.

But if ever I should,

I hope he'll do something more than moan and sigh and clank chains. What I should really enjoy would be a nice chatty ghost. Would sit down
