Back again on Halloween 2020 to binge THE WITCH’S TALE! Thanks so much for these wonderful old historic shows, they don’t go unappreciated. Wish I could experience this in 1932 when radio was still new, no tv or internet, I’ll bet people really looked forward to these weekly broadcasts!
The radio script was re-written as a short story & published in Weird Tales magazine for November 1941, illustrated by Harry Ferman. Here's the editor's introduction: "From THE WITCH'S TALE--that highly popular radio broadcast which thrilled you so often over the air--comes a story specially adapted for the magazine by that famous program's author and director, Alonzo Deen Cole."
Glad you're a fan of WEIRD TALES, Robert. I believe The Witch's Tales itself tried it also, as a magazine to compete with WT, but it failed quickly. In any case, it's great to see so many various classic old-time radio shows here; many of them were lost in the old days.
Thought I had heard all the "Witch's Tales," but this is a new one to me. Classic show and thanks for sharing it! By the way, Bette Davis did a lot of radio during the Golden Age. Do you have any episodes of her in, "Whispering Streets?"
Another thing. I have written and been published a lot on Michigan Indian history and so particularly loved this episode. Back in the late 1990s I wrote and produced a radio demo on Michigan Mysteries for WKNX Radio here in Saginaw, Michigan. I would love to upload this to You Tube but I don't know how to combine the audio with a photograph so that I can up load it. Any advisement????

That is so awesome! Thanks for the info. One of my favorite series. Can't believe this show aired so long ago.

I do not know of any radio suspense / horror dramas older than the "Witches Tale" nor better.

Wow! Have you heard of The Michigan Triangle? I live near Lake Erie in northern Ohio.. The Great Lakes are haunted! Have you written any books?🌊🧜♀️
Hanna n five eeaas ol
This is one of my favorite horror series. Unfortunately, the overt racism of this episode hasn't aged well, so this is not one I'll be revisiting.
I think it’s an anti racist and anti sexist message.
It’s a morality tale.
Interesting. I suppose it's possible I misread it. I confess I don't quite recall the specifics of my objection, as I listened 6 months ago.
