Comedy Stars on Suspense, Day 6: Ralph Edwards!

Today's Suspense episode is "Ghost Hunt" (June 23, 1949) starring radio comedy host Ralph Edwards, best-known for the radio game show Truth or Consequences (1940-1957)! It's based on a supernatural tale written by Herbert Russell Wakefield. About time we had some spooks this October!

In this episode, Smiley Smith takes a tour of a supposedly haunted house, speaking into a radio microphone as he takes in his impressions of his surroundings. But this haunted house is for real.

Edwards is perfect in his part, especially as the tension starts to ratchet up towards the end.

Tomorrow: Jack Benny!
