What happens

Dan Holiday travels to a small Louisiana town to investigate the mysterious illness of Bart LaFaye, a healthy young man who believes he is dying from witchcraft. Holiday must discover who has placed a curse on the boy and why before Bart succumbs to his imagined fate in just two days.

Vallu, Louisiana, a small village near the bayou

Characters: Dan Holiday, Doris Gordon, Bart LaFaye, Dr. Brennan, Didge Lawson, Melissa, Grandma Juneau, Gage

Listen for: The eerie descriptions of the bayou at midnight, the revelation of the voodoo doll, and Gage's motive for cursing Bart.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
