The Witchs Tale | Old Time Radio

The Witch's Tale presents “The Troth of Death,” episode 11, originally broadcast August 10, 1931. This early installment of Alonzo Deen Cole’s pioneering radio-horror anthology aired locally over WOR, New York, with Adelaide Fitz-Allen as host Old Nancy.

In County Clare, Ireland, a young couple in forbidden love makes a solemn pledge at a fairy mound, calling upon forces both ancient and sacred. When family opposition sends the young man to sea, their oath—and the folklore surrounding it—is put to a haunting test.

Old Time Retro Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
