What happens
Ozzie and Harriet Nelson's family is preparing for Halloween when the boys, David and Ricky, mention a spooky old house on Rogers Road. Ozzie scoffs at the idea of a ghost, but after the boys claim they saw one at the McAdams house, he sets out to investigate it himself. The episode is from the series The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, which first aired on October 31, 1948. Ozzie Nelson and Harriet Hilliard star as the parents, and the family's comedy turns on Ozzie's bravado and his reluctance to admit being frightened.

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.
