Synopsis

In this gripping episode of Suspense titled "Ghost Hunt," listeners are introduced to Smiley Smith, a charismatic disc jockey who thrives on daring stunts and captivating stories. As the episode unfolds, Smiley announces his audacious plan to spend the night in a notorious haunted house, a place steeped in tragedy and infamous for the suicides of four individuals since 1939. His intention is to record his experience with a wire recorder, aiming to debunk the house's sinister reputation and help sell the property. This plan is met with skepticism from others, particularly Mr. Thorpe, who is wary of the house's dark history. However, Smiley remains undeterred, believing that his adventure will not only entertain his audience but also serve a greater purpose.
