Episode 1245 "The Judge's House"
Original Story by Bram Stoker Adapted by George Lowther Directed by Himan Brown Host: E.G. Marshall
Two writers rent a house in the English countryside despite the warning of the local villagers that the house is haunted by the spirit of an infamous hanging judge. As two young scholars work on their research, they encounter a giant rat and a malevolent spirit bent on driving them out and harboring a terrible secret.
Enter our mansion of mystery. And it's mystery we have in store for you today in a house nestled in the pleasant English countryside. The house we are to visit is not a brooding castle, nor is it set on one of those windy and cheerless moors that Britain is so famous for. It's a modest two-story cottage, high on a rise that overlooks the tiny hamlet of Salford below. The residents of the town give it a wide berth. Even though no one has lived in it for more than two years, and two young men who rented it discovered why.
Picturesque English country houses have been immortalized in paintings and photographs, particularly in travel posters luring visitors to jolly old England. Often, though, a house that looks so quaint from the outside can harbor strange vibrations inside, particularly when they take on the characteristics of the owner. Such was the judge's house. But we'll arrive there shortly. Let Mark Mason, a young American in England, tell us what happened.
