"The Thing on the Fourble Board" [remastered] One of Radio's Greatest Horror Stories!

video upload by Suspense & ESCAPE!

"This is from the critically acclaimed series "Quiet Please" which was broadcast by the Mutual Network and then ABC 1947 - 1949. The format is quite unique, with most of the shows being told by one guy just as if he was telling you a story personally. Many classic radio fans, radio critics, and radio historians have said that "The Thing on the Fourble Board" is perhaps the MOST SCARY horror story ever broadcast! Since I personally discovered this program several years ago, I couldn't disagree. If you isolate yourself when listening, it IS scary! The one unfortunate thing about "Quiet Please" is that the only recordings which survive are *BADLY scratched vinyl records, with many nearly impossible to hear. They're practically impossible to restore. This episode was no exception, but over the years with improved technology the actual audio has been retrieved from within the scratches finally making it listenable! So here it is, with much improved (but never to be prefect) sound. Created, written and produced by WYLLIS COOPER, with most episodes being told be veteran announcer Ernest Chappell who does just a great job.
• Broadcast only once on August 9, 1948
