    The Ghost on the Stair | The Shadow (12-29-40)

    When a friend—who is the current owner of a former plantation now turned into a hotel—tells Lamont about a ghost legend, he becomes intrigued. The story goes that a Union soldier, held as a prisoner while recovering from a wound, fell in love with the plantation owner's daughter. One night, he attempted to escape, and the girl played the piano to cover the sound. Tragically, he was caught and murdered—stabbed in the heart.Now, it's said that whenever the sound of a piano plays through the halls of the hotel, someone ends up dead. Terrified by the legend, no guests stay for more than one night. Lamont, skeptical of any ghostly involvement, believes there’s a real person behind the killings. Determined to help his friend and uncover the truth, he begins investigating the strange events haunting the hotel.Original Air Date: December 29, 1940Host: Andrew RhynesShow: The ShadowStars: • Bill Johnstone (Lamont Cranston) • Marjorie Anderson (Margot Lane)Intro and Exit music from: Resurgence by Ghostrifter https://bit.ly/ghostrifter-sc
