Suspense: Nineteen Deacon Street (Lloyd Nolan) (11-22-1945)


Listen Later

Most people overlook a chilling truth: some pasts refuse to stay buried—and they can come back in the most unsettling ways. In this gripping episode of Suspense, Lloyd Nolan stars as Maury Swartz, a sharp-talking salesman who becomes entangled in a haunting mystery that could cost him everything—including his life.

Swartz’s journey begins with what seems like a routine business venture—finding a room in a sketchy Chicago neighborhood. But that room, once perfectly preserved as a shrine to a mysterious woman named Laverne, hides a sinister secret. As Swartz digs deeper, he uncovers connections that stretch far beyond a simple disappearance, leading to a dilapidated theater and a dark secret lurking in the shadows. From a closed theater on State Street to a strange, ominous phone number that refuses to be dialed, every step reveals a piece of the puzzle—and a danger that’s all too real.

You’ll discover:

  • How seemingly innocent clues—a picture, a key, a forgotten phone number—can unravel a hidden crime.

  • The unsettling psychology of obsession, and how it blurs the line between the past and present.

  • The meticulous plan of a murderer hiding behind a ghostly facade, and the chilling final showdown in an abandoned theater.

  • The importance of intuition and perseverance when confronting the unknown—lessons that resonate long after the story ends.

This episode is a masterclass in suspense, blending eerie atmosphere with a narrative that keeps you guessing until the final, shocking moment. If you believe that some ghosts are better left undisturbed, or if you’re fascinated by stories where the past refuses to die, this is essential listening.

Perfect for mystery lovers, true crime enthusiasts, or anyone who enjoys a story of retribution and buried secrets. Don't wait until you see shadows moving—hit play now and see how a ghost from the past can turn deadly.
