Radio Recap: Strange

Strange was a 15-minute radio series that was broadcast on ABC in 1955. It dramatized stories of people's encounters with something unusual - something vaguley supernatural.

The series was written and hosted by pulp writer Walter B. Gibson (best-remembered as creator of the Shadow) and he would claim the stories dramatized on Strange were based on real stories. The ghostly events on Strange sound a lot like the type of stories one finds in those big Time-Life books on ghosts. Still, they're very restrained dramas that tried to sound a bit believeable and inexplicable.

It seems only 4 episodes of this program have turned up. You can hear the 4 surviving episodes of Strange at the Old Time Radio Researchers Library.
