What happens
Paul and Sarah Seaton live near a family cemetery where Paul's ancestors are buried. Sarah becomes convinced a grave there belongs to Hester Randolph, a woman executed long ago, and that Hester's voice is calling her. Strange events follow, including the discovery of a charred body in the cemetery and the disappearance of a judge. Inner Sanctum Mysteries aired on September 12, 1949, and this episode stars Barbara Weeks as Sarah and Carl Swenson as Paul. The story follows Sarah's growing fear and the mounting doubts about what is real.

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.
