In “The Imposter”, a woman, despite having no theatrical background, is suddenly inspired to write a full-length play — with the ghostly help of a long-dead actor. When the play turns out to be a hit, she tries to take all the credit for it. But the real author’s spirit isn’t having it and demands that her name be removed from the marquee. | #RetroRadio EP0571CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:30.028 = CBS Radio Mystery Theater, “The Imposter” (March 22, 1977) ***WD00:45:34.027 = Eleventh Hour, “Will” (1941-1946) ***WD01:14:24.935 = Escape, “Red Wine” (February 26, 1949)01:43:51.535 = Everyman’s Theater, “This Precious Freedom” (October 04, 1940) ***WD02:11:07.323 = Murder By Experts, “Murder By Prescription” (July 11, 1949)02:40:34.581 = Exploring Tomorrow, “The Last Doctor” (February 19, 1958)02:59:01.191 = Faces in The Window, “Lightning Rod Man” (January 17, 1953) ***WD (LQ)03:22:41.516 = Dark Fantasy, “Debt From The Past” (January 16, 1942)03:46:52.517 = Fear on 4, “The Chimes of Midnight” (October 02, 1997) ***WD04:14:52.809 = 5 Minute Mysteries, “Broken Window” (1947-1950)04:19:55.490 = Tales From The Tomb, “Don’t Drink With Strangers” (1960s)04:23:35.238 = BBC Ghosts From The Past, “The Boat Hook” (April 15, 1992)05:07:02.739 = Show Close(ADU) = Air Date Unknown(LQ) = Low Quality***WD = Remastered, edited, or cleaned up by Weird Darkness to make the episode more listenable.

“Jobo” — a big-boned, simple-minded man from Texas – bears a striking resemblance to the mysterious stone figures of Easter Island. When an archaeologist (and later his daughter) catch wind of this uncanny likeness, each sets off on their own journey to uncover what it might mean.

A doctor begins treating a woman who insists that a glowing, supernatural figure — the Shining Man — has been appearing to her. She claims this radiant entity warns her of danger and even predicts deaths. At first the doctor chalks it up to stress and hallucination… until he starts encountering disturbing coincidences that match her visions. The deeper he digs, the more he’s pulled into a mystery that blurs the line between psychic prophecy and something genuinely otherworldly. Eventually he must confront whether “THE SHINING MAN” is a benevolent protector… or a harbinger of something far darker. | #RetroRadio EP0568CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:30.028 = CBS Radio Mystery Theater, “The Shining Man” (March 15, 1977) ***WD00:45:03.622 = Tales of Tomorrow, “The Other Now” (January 22, 1953)01:14:57.930 = The Saint, “College Campus Threat” (April 01, 1951) ***WD01:44:17.155 = Theater Five, “Odds On Tower” (October 28, 1964)02:04:34.644 = Theater 1030, “The Sandman” (1968-1971) ***WD (LQ)02:31:34.724 = Two Thousand Plus, “The Giant Walks” (November 08, 1950) ***WD03:00:27.270 = The Unexpected, “Re-Match” (1947)03:15:16.763 = Unsolved Mysteries, “Indian Fakir” (February 17, 1944) ***WD03:28:54.434 = Columbia Workshop, “Carmilla” (July 28, 1940) (LQ)03:58:20.739 = Dark Venture, “The Man in 206” (December 02, 1946) ***WD04:27:41.133 = The Weird Circle, “Spectre Bride” (1944)04:55:07.840 = Show Close(ADU) = Air Date Unknown(LQ) = Low Quality***WD = Remastered, edited, or cleaned up by Weird Darkness to make the episode more listenable.
