This picture is not Joan Shay. Murray Burnett was one of the better writers on RMT. This play is a bit wordy and complicated. I heard this as a kid and it confused me then. Celeste Holm and the great Larry Haines are the reasons to listen to this one. The end feels like they ran out of time and left something out. Very unsatisfying ending. Celeste's character talks about another ghost story that happens in the house about a small child. THAT would have been a better story to tell.

It's Edith Wharton, not Horton.

This was a fairly good supernatural story to listen to. However, I do agree with Paul that the ending was a little rushed and seemed to be missing something. However, it's difficult to say if I prefer the stories that don't have enough time or the stories that have too much time - it's a toss up.

So I guess you could say, "Give me Liberti or give me dearth!"

I love this story. The ghost is especially creepy because it’s not reall a ghost of a person, but a situational ghost, different for each tenant of the house. Like a curse.
