What happens
Miranda Wells, a farm girl, arrives at Dragonwick, the Hudson Valley estate of her cousin Nicholas Van Rhein, to serve as companion to his daughter. She finds the household uneasy, with tenant unrest and whispers about an ancestor who died at the harpsichord. Miranda grows close to Nicholas, whose wife Johanna is often unwell. This is an episode of the Screen Guild Theater, aired January 20, 1947, adapted from the film Dragonwyck and starring Vincent Price, Teresa Wright and Glenn Langan.

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.
