These spiritulaists can't really communicate with the world beyond our own, but they do manage to inspire a trio of old time radio mysteries where our detective heroes must contend with some mediums who aren't well done. First, Jeff Regan is hired to protect a psychic consultant in "The Man Who Lived by the Sea," (originally aired on CBS on December 18, 1948). Then, IRchard Diamond must expose a phony mentalist who's bilking a family out of their fortune (originally aired on NBC on September 10, 1949). And finally, Paul Frees - a man of a thousand voices - stars as Mr. Aladdin - "the man who can do anything" who is hired by a woman who suspects her late husband is back in canine form in "The Miracle of the Four-Legged Husband" (originally aired on CBS on September 9, 1951).
