What happens
Christopher Swan, a London bookseller, is visited by a stranger who calls himself a telepath and prophet and predicts that Swan will marry a red-haired woman named Margaret. The prediction comes true, and Swan's unhappy marriage to Margaret soon follows. Later the stranger foretells that Swan will be hanged on November 9th, and Swan begins to fear the prediction. Ronald Coleman stars in this Suspense episode, broadcast on April 7, 1949, as Swan's troubles mount and the bookshop becomes the setting for mounting tension.

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.
