I'm so addicted to this series. The haunting melody...the eerie stories...each one so well written, directed, and acted. I wish they'd made more. Thank you for the uploads. 🌹
I remember watching these shows with my family in the early 1970s. They were in syndicated reruns on one of our local UHF channels. I have seen them all several times over and I will come back to them again. I find it more pleasant and meaningful than much of the media content being presented today.
Alcoholism is so terrible, I would never support one. My father ruined our lives for 16 years, violent brutal years of no money no holidays, little food, no new clothes, having to work from the age of 12 onwards, tough years.
I’m so sorry you went through that…we’re going through that now with our adult son…ultimately he has to be the one to make those changes…and he’s at the point now…so I understand your comment…
Alcoholism killed my best friend at 43 and destroyed my ex-brother-in-law’s life and traumatized his children. It is a terrible disease and I’m so sorry you had to go through that.
@@betweenthepoles I have dear friends who drink a LOT, an incredible amount but they love life and have no desire to die. Thankfully the only people this harms is themselves but it's sad and really offputting. I don't drink alcohol and people assume that it's because I have a problem, I don't. My best friend says that it would make me more 'fun' but I reply that it would only give me the impression that I was.
I believe love has no bounds even beyond the grave! It was her spirit visiting her husband to save their little boy s life. In life there exist sometimes unsolved mystery so give it to God! Peace be with you all & take care.
For me, this is One Step Beyond's greatest episode. However, as I watch it in the present (and THANK YOU so much for posting), it occurs to me, she will NEVER get mother of the year, sending her CHILD to see if "dad" is drunk and violent. Good going mom.
This is exactly the way kids were treated in the 50s and 60s and even 70s. Mom sends her young son to go see if his father is drunk or not. Boy coaches his mother about whether she should take his father back. Boy sees his mother killed in front of him and his father being taken away screaming like a maniac... so here, kid, sit in the lobby alone for a while while we sort it out. LOL, that was EXACTLY what it was like for us growing up.
I can just see Rod Serling sitting there watching this. Thinking to himself, this is good stuff, but I can improve it by giving it a different twist. Then all of a sudden, we have the "Twilight Zone"
No, OSB and TZ both debuted the same year (1959), months apart. Rod Serling already had TZ planned. John Newland even stated they met up and shared their ideas with each other, just to see if they were coincidentally making the same exact series.
I like the way he ran screaming from the mine. Is that what exposure to a ghost does to a person? And what was the conversation in the car like? It certainly wasn't her lamenting about her life, since the husband had no clue she was dead until discovering her crushed body. So what was the conversation? "It's Stevie, he's there. Hurry! Hurry! It's Stevie, he's there. Hurry! Hurry! It's Stevie, he's there. Hurray! Hurray! Its Stevie, he's there...." Did he wonder why she sounded like a broken record when he asked her WTF she and Stevie were doing in a mine in the first place? Or didn't that come up at all. But what DID they talk about in that car?!? The doctor with his "reasonable explaination" needed a kick in the teeth. He was borderline obnoxious. I don't care how noble his intentions were, he was a moron. Finally the black guy at the end: "My partner said it was the wind in the telephone wires, but it was a woman... SCREAMING!" Has anybody, anywhere, at any time, mistaken the sound of the wind in telephone lines for a screaming woman? I mean I've been around lines and wind my entire life. Only in Hollywood have I heard that explaination... repeatedly. Did this story ever actually happen? Hard to say. Trying to trace these OSB episodes to actual incidents is often futile. On the other hand, there were those paramedics on the Utah River who all swore they heard a dead woman calling for help a few years ago, so who knows? It's like Shakespeare wrote: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." In other words... Weird Stuff Happens!
In my day I worked 24 hours in the mine, then walked to school uphill in the winter and then came home where my dad beat me to death with a strap. Then the next day I'd do it all over again.
Yeah...but it was a silver mine. And in the intervening 60 years since the show first aired, the price of silver has skyrocketed. The kid could have been very rich by now! So, not such a bad mother after all. Okay, what's next....
@@tarstarkusz Do you have some perswonal wrath inside you or something? Give people a chance. Besides, if you wanna find out how right (or wrong) you are, do some digging, research this story. Supposedly this really happened.
@@tarstarkusz I don't believe you did any digging on the show because before i proposed that, you hadn't even mention it. Second, it's a very old show and i supposed many stories aren't easy to trace now, so how on Earth can you make the claim that all the stories are fake? And last, in case you don't know, people who drink aren't some exotic species, they are just people like you and me. Some may fail, others not. You can't just wrap the subject up and insert everyone in one bag. If you knew anything about *human beings* you would know that!
@@tarstarkusz Quite frankly, i will not prolong this conversation much further because it's like talking to a brick wall. I'll finnish with this: not being able to link these episodes to their respective stories doesn't prove *every episode was fake* (in fact doesn't prove *one single* episode was fake). I believe it. It was made in an era when a man's word had weight, and i don't see them making claims from lies, besides its been said that John Newland was a man of dignity, and i don't think he would associate himself with a hoax. So, i don't have proof, but at least have good reasons. As for the other subject, it doesn't matter how much you keep repeating that a drinker will always be a drinker when i *know* people, personally, who have made it. My grandfather was one, at 30 he was the town drunk, then took to a clinic for a month, died at 80+ without ever having touched a drop after arriving from the clinic. So, you can bring a thousand theories, but they will not change *facts.*
Always good acting in this episodes. To think that the incident happened for real is difficult to imagine. The moral of the story is never go inside a cave alone with a child. There should be more people for company.
There is recent footage of this happening to rescuers thinking no one was alive in an overturned SUV, but they heard a woman inside calling for help, and found a baby inside still alive, but the mom had been long dead. Real footage, & you can hear the mom
Yeah, except trying to trace most of them to actual incidents is usually impossible. Even the one about the tsunami in Hawaii, which a local Honolulu reporter tried to confirm, turned out being vastly exaggerated. Other stories seem to have their roots in often repeated ghost stories, and what we'd call urban legends today. That's not to say strange things don't occur in the world, but the claim OSB makes about telling "true" stories is stretching things.
Hey, son! Let's go down into this mine. I don't know what I'm doing, I'm wearing a dress, we've got no gear, and I've only got one flashlight. It'll be fun! What's the worst that could happen?
The lead in this was played by Robert Sampson, who later played the role of Chris Miller (also the father) in the classic "Twilight Zone" episode "Little Girl Lost."
@@jehugo66 I believe you're talking about the episode "Death Ship." The three in that one were Jack Klugman, Ross Martin, and Fredrick Beir. The only other one with a doomed space flight that I can think of was "I Shot an Arrow into the Air." As it turns out, he was only in one episode of the entire series. Interesting fact: He died only in January of this year.
Yes son, let's go a little further into this ancient, abandoned mine where there's no one around. It's perfectly safe. I wouldn't be wearing this dress & high heels if it weren't!
That guy is creepy sober, hard to imagine what he was like drunk. There are lots of movies about the damage done by alcohol but I can't remember one about the damage done by smoking. The twist here at the end is just silly, apparently they didn't know how to conclude.
No, it doesn’t raise that question. When we were with the boy and girl scouts in France we even slept in an old mine, on a three day hike. Brilliant adventure. Kids these days are controlled by their freak parents. Well, okay I am in Germany not the US. We let our kids climb trees and swim in ponds, after we taught them how to do it.
I have to admit that I love messing with their "school book" methods. I'm really not as smart as I might sound, but common sense is necessary to believe in ourselves. If we could bring down half that salary.
Yeah, imagine if doctors in general worked like that. No need to search for what the problem *really* is, just act according to what YOU believe. That's not science, that's stupidity. I believe there are tons of people locked up in mental institutions because some skink decided they were crazy... How many of them were actually not crazy!? That's the problem with Psychiatry, those who practice it know shit about what people report, the *only* solution they have is "it's all in your head", and from that opinion they carry on. That's it, nothing more than their opinion... and people are locked up.
@@Hartley_HareSo what? If it wasn't for shrinks, tons of people would have a life, but because they were sold the idea that they had a "problem" they never grew past that insecurity and fear.
How did Dad know where to go? His wife told him they were going sightseeing, she never said anything about going to a mine. Of all the places to go sightseeing Dad went to the very spot and his wife directed him where to dig. Why didn't he mention that to the Doctor? These episodes are obviously edited, but it wouldn't make sense to leave that out.
It wasn't editing that made you miss that part. You must have dozed off. He told the doctor, "She was standing right here in this doorway." That's how he knew. She came to him, all frantic, and got in his car with him to tell him where to go. You can see her jump out of his car when they get to the mine.
''your moms right son, she shouldnt see me unless she knows im not drunk. thats why she was right to send you kid.'' the scared to death 7yr old boy is better to send in case his dads a drunk being violent! wow this exolains a lot about my parents issues and how people were in those days! its not funny, but i laughed when he said your mom was right to send her small kid to make sure he wasnt crazy drunk! oh my gosh
How did she get to the motel ? Simple, she, like the Dr. and all the rest of us, is a spirit (soul, same) and didnt have to walk. She just decided to BE at the door of the room. That's all. Very simple. Of course, shrinks think we're just a brain and some nerve cells, so these things cant happen. Well, it DID happen, so Dr. man, take your prescription and stick it where the sun dont shine !
Great episode, but I don't know why the doctor was so intent on convincing him it couldn't have happened. I imagine they just added that for some drama. In reality, a psychiatrist would probably say Well, who knows, you'll probably never have an experience like that again but maybe it was something paranormal or maybe it was an angel or god or who knows. All that matters is you can go on and be a good father to your son. Don't know why the doctor was so intent. As for the ending, I guess it proves the guy was right but not really because it could just be that she didn't die instantly and they heard her screaming. But it's all good.
3 questions. When did they invent health and safety. Why was there nobody charging $10 for entry and $5 for a hard hat and the most important question, how much alcohol do I have to drink to get to the hallucinations?
I don't see a problem with him thinking her spirit came back to help her son. Idk what else he could've been hanging on to. Anyway, very mundane and mellow--boring-- ep reminiscent of "The Twilight Zone" and suitable for the family.
Oooooh! Let's go exploring caves, abandoned mines, with only one flashlight & let the kid hold it! In our high heels! In the desert, telling nobody where we are too! Dumb. Best part was the Black guy.
@@bettythebutcher I believe that was Roy Glenn, probably best known for Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967), Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) and Porgy and Bess (1959)
Here, methinks the psychiatrist is the one that needs the light. I know a real story of a mother that tried to save her child after death. Road accident baby stuck in the car, she guided him all the way and directions. There's nothing more strong than the pure love of a mother for her child.
9:00, left collar down. 9:01, left collar up. 9:06, left collar down, 9:10, left collar up again. 9:15, left collar down again, 9:20, left collar up. 9:24, left collar down for good. Strange they didn't pick that up while editing.
Her scenes were already in the can. The error occurred on the set, presumably was missed by the script continuity person. These shows were done on a tiny budget. There would be no going back and re-shooting something unless something was terribly screwed up and completely unusable. Once shot, there certainly was nothing an editor could do. Besides, very few people noticed things like that when paying attention to the story, especially sitting across a living room watching on a tv set with other possible family distractions going on.
Every time I see an episode and see at the end it says"Merwin.." I say MerWin!, repeating something I heard often from something else, but I can't place what's it's from. But they say it, weird like, kinda making fun. What is that from? It's going to drive me nuts!
Most people who watch these old tv showa dont bother to click. Usually it's only the newbies who have to say something (because these shows are so good).
OMG!!!! THE MOTHER WAS A GHOST!!! THAT REPORTED THE CAVE IN!!! And YES! I yell!! And what!? A " JOY KILLER "! GET over it! DON'T READ comments before WATCHING the EP.!!! duh!! SO THERE!!
As an explanation, "hallucination" is even dumber than the universe springing into existence from nothing for no reason. But I guess some people are committed to their stupidity.
Is ok mommy you don't have to take me to and amusement park is to dangerous but a broken down mine is ok, yes sire nothing more amusing than a broken down mine.
That ubiquitous child star Charles Herbert from the 1950's never was a very good actor, but this is probably the best performance anyone ever got out of him. Still, not very good.

LOL... exploring a silver mine in a Donna Reed dress. I love these old shows
And even worse, high heels. Too funny!
Well he played that part when he was screaming from the mine. This was a really great one. What a twist. Thanks for the sauce!🍕
Another amazing episode and so happy I found this series. The music is amazing too. The host is so interesting too.
This is the best episode I've seen yet. I teared up when she was standing in the door way. The twist moved me. Thanks for the upload. 👍
"Earthquake" and "Tidal Wave" were pretty good, too! ~~
The black man came & screamed lady twice. Then confirmed with the father.
Another good episode, and another thumbs-up from yours truly :)
This was the most terrifying of all the OSB stories. When I saw this episode many years ago it shook me to the core!

I’ll go with you, if you’ll lead the way😀.
In a fine dress and high heels 👠
@@jimjustice581 she wasn't the brightest bulb in the package.
Right, I agree, letting your kid climb around, etc, but what I love about these stories is that they are based on true facts👍
This is why we build playgrounds. Turns out abandoned mines aren't safe to play in. What was she thinking?
Thanks for uploading 👍🏽
A great episode, very moving.

How did she get to the motel ? Simple, she, like the Dr. and all the rest of us, is a spirit (soul, same) and didnt have to walk. She just decided to BE at the door of the room. That's all. Very simple. Of course, shrinks think we're just a brain and some nerve cells, so these things cant happen. Well, it DID happen, so Dr. man, take your prescription and stick it where the sun dont shine !
Great episode, but I don't know why the doctor was so intent on convincing him it couldn't have happened. I imagine they just added that for some drama. In reality, a psychiatrist would probably say Well, who knows, you'll probably never have an experience like that again but maybe it was something paranormal or maybe it was an angel or god or who knows. All that matters is you can go on and be a good father to your son. Don't know why the doctor was so intent. As for the ending, I guess it proves the guy was right but not really because it could just be that she didn't die instantly and they heard her screaming. But it's all good.
3 questions. When did they invent health and safety. Why was there nobody charging $10 for entry and $5 for a hard hat and the most important question, how much alcohol do I have to drink to get to the hallucinations?
The days when Drs were called dr feelgood oh the irony you wont get an aspirin now or appointment 2022 x
I don't see a problem with him thinking her spirit came back to help her son. Idk what else he could've been hanging on to. Anyway, very mundane and mellow--boring-- ep reminiscent of "The Twilight Zone" and suitable for the family.
A young mother in a dress and high heels with her young son "sightseeing" an abandoned mine by themselves....what could go wrong?
Oooooh! Let's go exploring caves, abandoned mines, with only one flashlight & let the kid hold it! In our high heels! In the desert, telling nobody where we are too! Dumb. Best part was the Black guy.
He was wonderful, great voice and very touching performance despite the bit part he was given. Anyone know who the actor was?
@@bettythebutcher he played in Gunsmoke a lot.
@@bettythebutcher I believe that was Roy Glenn, probably best known for Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967), Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) and Porgy and Bess (1959)
@@bettythebutcher His voice was unbelievable. I loved every syllable he said
Was that the lovely Farley Grainger,plating the husband?
Here, methinks the psychiatrist is the one that needs the light.
I know a real story of a mother that tried to save her child after death. Road accident baby stuck in the car, she guided him all the way and directions.
There's nothing more strong than the pure love of a mother for her child.
9:00, left collar down. 9:01, left collar up. 9:06, left collar down, 9:10, left collar up again. 9:15, left collar down again, 9:20, left collar up. 9:24, left collar down for good. Strange they didn't pick that up while editing.
I think they know most of us will never notice. You're very astute.
I don’t notice or care. I’m just grateful a lot of creative people made such a fantastic episode.
Her scenes were already in the can. The error occurred on the set, presumably was missed by the script continuity person. These shows were done on a tiny budget. There would be no going back and re-shooting something unless something was terribly screwed up and completely unusable. Once shot, there certainly was nothing an editor could do. Besides, very few people noticed things like that when paying attention to the story, especially sitting across a living room watching on a tv set with other possible family distractions going on.
Was that Wilbur Post as the doctor?
my mother would have called her stupid for even going in there
Another goodie. But ……is it just me or is something off with Helen’s eyebrows?
Thanks pizza flicks 🎉
Before playgrounds children had abandoned mines apparently
Why would she wear heels into a mine? 🤦🤷🤯🤡
The dress and heels got me too 😂
And a white dress.
Every time I see an episode and see at the end it says"Merwin.." I say MerWin!, repeating something I heard often from something else, but I can't place what's it's from. But they say it, weird like, kinda making fun. What is that from? It's going to drive me nuts!
It's from Svenghouli, a Saturday night fright show. And it's Ber-wynn! 😉
Note to self, watched 11/27/17.
This was filmed in 1917? 😂
Excellent episode. The tiny like count boggles the mind
Most people who watch these old tv showa dont bother to click. Usually it's only the newbies who have to say something (because these shows are so good).
why people go alone to such forsaken places??
What's with the horrible closed captions?
I don't want any more poop commercials please!
OMG!!!!
THE MOTHER WAS A GHOST!!!
THAT REPORTED THE CAVE IN!!!
And YES!
I yell!!
And what!?
A " JOY KILLER "!
GET over it!
DON'T READ comments before WATCHING the EP.!!!
duh!!
SO THERE!!
She didn't really think that out
Sure, lots of women explore silver mines in a dress and heels.
I wouldn't be surprised to see an episode with a mom scaling a mountain in a dress and heels lol. Seems like they wore that for everything back then.
And she could borrow June Cleaver’s pearls.
15:23 guy knees stevie right in the head
Women actresses were classy back then. Gone forever now.
YES!!! they sure were! Dressed so ladylike!!
I want a baby spotlight!
Who doesn't like pizzaFlix? I will punch them in the nose!
And she didn't call for help earlier why?
Trish Glenn did you even watch the full episode? She was DEAD! It was her spirit.
HELP ME NOW PLEASE!
As an explanation, "hallucination" is even dumber than the universe springing into existence from nothing for no reason.
But I guess some people are committed to their stupidity.
❤👍
Christ, this show is too dramatic for me 😂😂
He should be in A.A.
Is ok mommy you don't have to take me to and amusement park is to dangerous but a broken down mine is ok, yes sire nothing more amusing than a broken down mine.
So
That ubiquitous child star Charles Herbert from the 1950's never was a very good actor, but this is probably the best performance anyone ever got out of him. Still, not very good.
