From there, we journey north to the Spaniards Inn, a centuries-old coaching house haunted by highwaymen, duels gone wrong, and ghostly figures seen lingering by candlelight.The trail continues to the Viaduct Tavern, long rumored to conceal something far darker beneath its foundations, and then to the infamous Ten Bells Pub, forever linked to Jack the Ripper and the final drinks of his doomed victims. We conclude at 50 Berkeley Square, once called the most haunted house in London, where witnesses have reported unearthly apparitions, madness, and even death.Blending documented history, eyewitness accounts, and eerie atmosphere, Legends of London reveals a city where time bends—and some souls never leave.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater goldenclassics CBS Radio Mystery Theater (a.k.a. Radio Mystery Theater and Mystery Theater, sometimes abbreviated as CBSRMT) was a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was carried by the NPR satellite feed. The format was similar to that of classic old time radio shows like The Mysterious Traveler and The Whistler, in that the episodes were introduced by a host (E. G. Marshall) who provided pithy wisdom and commentary throughout. Unlike the hosts of those earlier programs, Marshall is fully mortal, merely someone whose heightened insight and erudition plunge the listener into the world of the macabre (in a manner similar to that of The Man in Black on yet another old time radio program, Suspense). As with Himan Browns prior Inner Sanctum Mysteries, each episode of CBS Radio Mystery Theater opened and closed with the ominous sound of a creaking crypt door, accompanied by Marshalls disturbing utteran Tweens and Dreams Anna B 💕 Hi!
