I like the doubt presented by the men at the end. Was there really a swamp monster or was it a ploy by the girl to bet the boy?

This was the one that scared me The most as a child. I had taped it and listened again and again.

I remember listening to these shows in my early 20's; especially on long nights crossing from coast to coast on road trips. I am glad that they are so easily listened to now in the age of the internet.

An ecologist whose work takes him into a swamp happens upon a woman who claims to have been a captive of a swamp creature.

Chosen for the title... I like swamps, I like creatures and I particularly like swamp creatures... This one is not bad. There are lots of neat elements. A nicely described "swamp man" of legend. A woman who might be either imaginary, supernatural but in danger or supernatural and dangerous.
The strange woman in the show is Oo-dee-nay... which could be a variant of undine.
It never seemed scary but at least was interesting.

A man rescues a woman from quicksand and is later stalked by a creature that inhabits the swamp.

A woman is rescued by a recluse who lives in a swamp. He has chosen a solitary existence because of facial disfigurement he suffered after a tragic accident in which he lost his fiancé. This new woman proves seems to care deeply for her rescuer and shares a salve she claims will cure his disfigurement. Upon doing so, she very quickly falls ill.

4 stars... Other than the description of the swamp man it was a really good listen. Has commercials.

Joan Loring always sounds as if she has a chronic head cold. Her voice is so annoying that I find it hard to focus on any of the stories she is in. She always plays some weak female whose cloying neediness for the male she inevitably attracts is just too much. If she could just get over the damn sniffles.
Christine
I agree! The annoying and frequent coughing and thunder/wind effects, it was a struggle to follow. Even then, I found the plot tiresome. I hardly blame Bubba for holding a grudge after his sister died as a result of Larry's drunk driving.

It's stories like this that made me think quicksand would be a much bigger problem as I got older. In my almost 45 years on this planet, I have yet to encounter quicksand.
