What happens

They find her fatally injured, and she dies after promising to return from the grave. Richard refuses to accept her death and becomes convinced that Barbara is calling to him and visiting him at night. Dr. Griffin, who is worried about his mental state, argues that the strange events have natural explanations. The story is an Inner Sanctum Mystery from March 7, 1943, starring Peter Lorre as Richard Blake.
The Carolina coast, with a sailboat at sea, a coastal town, and the Blake home, where Barbara's funeral and nightly visits take place.

Listen for: Barbara's voice calling Richard from beyond, the seagull cries that accompany her return, and Dr. Griffin's arguments against Richard's belief that she has come back.
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.
