Episode 0369 "The Storm Breeder"

Original Airdate: October 28, 1975

Written by William Austin, Adapted by Ian Martin, Directed by Himan Brown, Host: E.G. Marshall

Many of you may not be familiar with the writings of William Austin since his main claim to fame is that he was the forerunner of the famous Nathaniel Hawthorne. But it is as sad in a way as this haunting tale I bring you that he should have been so overshadowed by his famous antecedent for no more poignant and heartbreaking while at the same time terrifying story could be told than this. The American version of the wandering Jew, condemned and outcast, and the small shivering fever-wracked child with the sad brown eyes innocently doomed to share his exile with him forever.

For the strange, weird, unforgettable fragment of American history brought to you here, We are indebted, according to William Austin, to one Jonathan Dunwell of New York. Mr. Dunwell was a judge and as such a general officer of the court by profession, but by inclination an antiquarian and a collector of American history. It is his manuscript we bring to life.

Episode 0371 "Triptych For a Witch"

Original Airdate: October 30, 1975

Written by Ian Martin, Directed by Himan Brown, Host: E.G. Marshall

A triptych is defined in Webster's unabridged dictionary as a picture or carving in three parts, side by side, especially an altarpiece consisting of a central panel and two flanking panels that fold over it. Thus by definition it represents a sacred figure, and usually three aspects of that figure. This story concerns a triptych that represents a wholly profane and baleful figure in all its different aspects.

In many cultures the aged had a function and were treated with reverence and respect. Less and less this is true of the Occidental cultures. I enter no discussion of whether this is right or wrong. Frequently the elderly would prefer to be left alone to pursue their own destinies. And yet when the moment comes and some very ancient relative is left alone, particularly a woman, Some atavistic instinct, or is it just plain guilt, drives many of us to open at least our homes, if not wholly our hearts, to them. This is the story of two such people. But may heaven protect you from the strange and awful experience they unwittingly laid themselves open to.

Masquerading as an elderly and widowed distant relative, a witch and her strange pets move in with a young couple who have been recently married. As time goes by however, the husband begins to suspect she is not who she appears to be.

What a fragile species mankind. really is. We're not nearly so swift or agile as many of our lesser cousins, and consider our vulnerability to shifts in the temperature.

Others say the Earth is still warming up. And if the trend continues, the vast ice patch will begin to melt. Either way, the polar regions are under constant and careful scrutiny. For a lot deep within their massive glaciers could be the key to the future of the world.

Original Airdate: May 26, 1975

Original Story by Ian Martin, Directed by Himan Brown, Host: E.G. Marshall

Most of us laugh off the existence of witches, today or ever, particularly today. Yet, even so casual a research source as the daily newspaper would provide us with knowledge that there are covens all over the country and the world, and that witchcraft is on the rise again. Of course, all of them, in their minds, are dedicated to good works as the following tale will illustrate.

I have in my hand a curious little book called The Witch's Almanac. I'm looking at a page which contains a recipe for a witch's broth. Rendered eye of newt. Pressed gall of goat. Extract of lizard's liver. Garnish with fur of bat and minced tail of a poisoned rat. Boil in alcohol and lace with the blood of one virgin. Ludicrous or horrifying. The date of the book. is 17th century but witches still live believe it or not and are busy casting spells
