Transcript

He's a mysterious traveler. This is the mysterious traveler, inviting you to join him on another journey in the realm of the strange and terrifying.

I hope you will enjoy the trip, that it will thrill you a little and cheer you a little. So settle back, you're a good grip on your nerves. I hope it's not making you nervous, being alone with me here in the dark.

Darkness stirs strange terrors in some minds, particularly those of children, for children live in a world of their own. A world far removed from that of adults. Poor Magas knows the psychology of the child mind with its devious thoughts and actions, As in the tale of the good day, years ago, when I was practicing medicine, I brought a

child into the world, a girl who was named Sandra. In the years that followed, she grew into an extremely beautiful and clever child. But my story begins the day that Martha, the housekeeper, was finishing her duties for the last time.

Yes, I told you to come right home after school. Where have you been? Oh, I'm sorry Martha I didn't hear you tell me to come home right after school. I'm sorry true. I am save you acting for your father young lady It hasn't fooled me for a long time Sir, I'm just since your mother died to becoming more and more of a problem every day

Well at least after the night I won't have to put up with your lies and your thousand and one little tricks What do you mean Martha your father won't be needing a housekeeper anymore? I'm leaving tonight.

But why? Well, I'm not supposed to tell you. You may as well know now is later. Your father is bringing home a new mother for you tonight. A new mother? Yes, he's just married again.
