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.

Well, greetings, everybody.

Welcome back to Fear Tober here on the old time radio,

Mystery, Suspense, and harbor podcast.

Today we hear a creepy thriller from Lights Out, which aired May 11th of 1943.

So turn off the lights and enjoy being creeped out by murder in the script department.

It is later than you think. This is Arch Obler bringing you another in our series of stories of the unusual.

And once again, we caution you. These lights out stories are definitely not for the timid soul.

So we tell you calmly and very sincerely,

if you frighten easily, turn off your radio now.

Oh, what time is it?

Ten minutes more.

Gee, it's been a long day, hasn't it?

I'll say so.

If I never see another script or typewriter, it'll be too soon.

You were the one who wanted to get into radio.

Radio, sitting at a typewriter eight hours a day, making stencil.
