• 4:10
  Speaker 4: You can't fight it, Oh can't. I?

  Speaker 5: Well, I'm going to make this particular ghost wish he'd
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: never been born.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Firsha nor Miss Heartwell, chasing ghost isn't exactly my line.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I knowed, So maybe it would be interesting for
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: a change.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe you have something there, Patry, tell me about
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the ghost anyway, Miss Heartwell Well, the.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: Old Heartwell place is about fifty miles up the river.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I see.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: And when my great great grandfather, General Absom Heartwell goes
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: fit back in eighteen fifteen, the Indians around that section
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: were pretty riled about it. Why, well, because they had
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: a burial ground on the property and they considered it
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: sacred soil. I see now among the graves was that
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: a red arrow, one of their greatest cheeks. And the
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: Indians warned that his spirit would come back to avenge
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: the insult.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: And did it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: Well, something did, because one morning the general was found
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: dead in his bedroom with a red arrow in his heart.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Why and I suppose the ghost has been appearing ever since. Well, no,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: not until I moved in three months ago. Oh. You see,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: for the past thirty.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Years, no one has lived in the house but Lisa Maybury,
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: the caretaker. Now she's my housekeeper.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: But I wonder why the big chief is on the
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: warpath again after all these years.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Well, according to Lisa, when I put in my rose garden,
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: I accidentally had his graves plowed up.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Did you ever see the ghost yourself, miss.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Heartwell, well, yes one time. But when I threw a
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: brass inkwell at him, he ran into my bedroom and disappeared.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: What happened there?
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: Well, I went right in after him, but there was
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: nobody there, and all the doors and windows were lost.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: We both your housekeeper, Miss Abbey, have seen it. Several times.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Is that right here?
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: We've all seen it to accept Gerald.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Gerald, that's the nephew who is visiting you last night. Yes,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: he usually out the weekend.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: Gerald is the only close relative I have, and he
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: knows you'll get my money someday, so he tries to
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: keep on the good side of me.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: And Miss Abby's a reletive too, isn't.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: So she's a second cousin twice removed.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Both she and Gerald know I'm not leaving her much.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: That's heart. Well, what do you think a private investigator
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: can do against a ghost? Ghost my foot?
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: Someone's deliberately trying to frighten me, and I want to
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: know who it is and why they're doing it.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Well, i'll tell you what perhatsy, and I'll drive up
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: there to night's stay if you did good, But please

  Speaker 2: since Nick broke into the locked bedroom to find Miss
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Harriet lying on the floor with a red arrow in
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: her heart. There's only one door to this room, and
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: the killer didn't come in or leave that way. I've
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: been watching that, how.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: About the windows, Miss, This one's not you the inside.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: This one there, and the killer must still be in
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: the room. What's this door? What's the closet? There? No
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: nothing here but a few dresses. I tell you it
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: was deep red arrow.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: He don't need no doors, no windows.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: He walked through the walls.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Do you want to believe that? Lisa? Go ahead, but
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I don't take any stock and got not yet anyway,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Really profess the carter. That's an odd remark for a
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: man who says he's interested in psychic phenomena. I am
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: a private investigator as it.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Hey, gee, that's right, miss Abby.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Nothing must be touched until the police arrived. Will you
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: phone them? Patches, Christ, something awful would happen.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: I want I beg you to leave this house.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: You should have known those were the wrong tactics to you,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: gonn Ann Harriet, Miss Heavy, He hasn't.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Thought what's come here in the first place? Changing things around,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: flowing up the grace.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: No ghosts did this leader, and no human being could
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: have gone out and locked the windows after him on
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: the inside. So it's someone who's in this house right now.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: You don't mean one of us. That's exactly what I means,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: and I'm making it my business to find out which
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: one of you it is. You expect to find a
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: secret panel in the wall most cut, but be suff
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: they don't sound pretty solid.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Oh but next secret panel. You don't find those things
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: in real life, not nowadays.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Miss Bourn. But this house is one hundred courtesy No
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Sheriff's right, Patty that it doesn't seem to be any
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: panel unsual, you know, missus Carter. Maybe what we all
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: look for first is the motors.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well first as lisas he certainly resented Miss Harriet's.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Being here, they all had more defens except Miss Abbey,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: even she might have hated Miss Harrios. Couldn't have been
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: too easy living here as a poor relation.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: No, but she could always leave if she wanted to know.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: How about money, Miss Harriet was rich, and miss miss
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Abbey thought she'd be there now, cheff. Miss Abbey knew
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: that practically all the money goes to the nephew, Gerald
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Nesbit nes Biddy.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Uh huh.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: And Gerald Nesbit is the only person in the house
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: who never saw the ghost, even though he says he
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: just happened to be here every time it showed up.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: That does look suspicious. Yeah, but just now I'm interested
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: in this raw. Yes, he looks looks like a homemade
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: no stone near ahead, tied into lu Chef hate John
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Riff and very neatly too.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: I've seen that sort of tape before. Next dressmakers use it.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: You can get it at any dime store.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I know, patchy, but it's the way the tape is
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: born down that interests me. Very distinctive design.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Yes, oh, mister Carter, I left my glasses in here.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: Oh there they are, Miss Abbey on the table. Oh,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: thank you, mister Carter. You don't really think.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: It's one of us.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid I do, Miss Abbey.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: But we were all up steam.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Chris Carter was trying to find a secret passage ran wild,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: but it didn't get nowhere.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Oh I'm sure.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: It couldn't be anything like that.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, good grief, Carter. She's gleamed.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Here, Miss Abbey drinks? You did I see?
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: You said you saw something? Oh?
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Yes, she that as ghost?
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Where no closet the closet? H y.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Is it someone hiding there? And then I saw a head.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: No, you just imagine there's a train nobody in here.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: No whys? So maybe this is what they're looking for
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: share what I mean the walls in the room were solid,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: but that sounds hollow. There's some clothes hooks on the
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: back of the closet wall. Maybe if we pull one
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: of them. Got this one either a.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Run hidden. Still we're going upstairs.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: So that's how the killers get in them out. Let's
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: see what goes up to.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, stairs and narrow.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Sure, what's that? What's that laying on the steps? A blanker,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: an Indian headdress with prients. Go talk to Patty. Let's
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: go on up.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the one we didn't see anybody using the sun stairs.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: There's another door at the top. Yes, who was a legist?
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: They were in another closet that they pushed these clothes
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: out of the wind. They'll go into the room.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: The man's.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Few people come from. Well, you want to know seller boys,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: what do you mean you come here? Wait? But you
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: were the first one to come upstairs just before the murder.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Do you come directly for this room? Yes? Why did
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: anybody else come through here? No? Of course, so that
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: does a junk croller. You're under rest for the meadow
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: of your aunt. Tell blamed if I know why you
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: wanted me to come back out here this morning, Mick,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I want to take a look at the outside of
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the house there. Now, these are the windows to miss
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Harriet's room. Yes, who was Lisa's room is on the
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: other side of the house. It's Abby's windows are directly
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: above here. That's Nesbit's room above and to the right. Well,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: what differences to make. We know he did it, and
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: we got him safe from the county jail. I won't
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: hurt him. Stay there for a day or two. It'll
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: throw the real killer off time it Nick nes Bits,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: the killer rose hitting stairs were the only way into
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Miss Harry's room. Yeah, that's right, and nobody button has
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Bit could have used him at that time. He admitted it,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: right again, so the raw must have been shot from
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: outside the house. Tho those locked windows not necessarily here.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Look at this tree, sir, it's right in front of
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Miss Harriet's window, not six feet away from them. If
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: you think one of the women climb down that treep
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: from there's it's crazy. That isn't what I'm driving at here.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Take a look at these marks on the inside of
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: the place where it forks about five feet from the ground. Eh,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: that's funny. The tree forks three ways. Who something's been
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: pressed into the bark inside and short. Yeah, something's been
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: wedged firmly between those three forks. And recently, eh, will
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: you control the tooth not to new chaff? Did you
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: ever see a cross bowl? Who's loss bow? Who said?
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: A medieval weapon with a stock like a shotgun and
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: a bow mounted crosswise on the front end shoes, more
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: powerful than an ordinary bowl, and it can be aimed
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: more accurately. Yeah, there's one in the collection upstairs. After
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: it's cat you pull a trigger to shoot here, that's
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: the weapon I mean? Oh, did you think that the
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: cross bow was wedged in the fork of this tree
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: pointing into Miss Harry? True, I wouldn't be surprised. Could
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: easily be pulled loose from the tree fork and hauled
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: into an upstairs window with a strong cord and a
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: corner on the trigger. Could pull the trigger by remote
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: control every shore, but still couldn't shoot through closed and
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: locked window without breaking it. You can't get away from Ane.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe not Sheriff, but I'm doing my best.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: What are you two falling around out here? Paul?
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: I ask you the same question, Lisa. Is the time
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: you were getting dinner I'm doing the washing.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Miss Abbey always tends to the cooking on last day.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: I see that you're brung with yours helping her.

• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Stop?
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: That's what somebody moved.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Clo. That's a poll about seven feet long, isn't it. Yes,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: you use to prop up the clothes line and hold
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: the clothes off the ground.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Here it is now how in the name of common
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: since you did get around here in the tall grass,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: let me see that I catched the one that through
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: it out here.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Never mind, Lisa, I'll catch that person for you. Come on, Sheriff,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I've got the answer now.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: If you have another big nice miss Abby, I'll help
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: you shed that cabine. I'm almost true, mister Wing. If
• 21:00

• 21:16
  Speaker 3: some paper down this. I am very good at sixteen things.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: But but that's the same kind of taste with you
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: to make the arrow that.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: What did you say?
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Well? The way those taste is round around the spoon handle,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: that complicated way.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: That's the same as what was on that arrow.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I wish you had noticed that, miss Bowen, cause you
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: you will.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: Miss Abby. Yes this Bowen, it was I.
• 21:48

• 21:56
  Speaker 3: on is watching her by the best of everything, having
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: to get along with nothing a jest. I made up
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: my mind that I was going to have nice thing
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: to you. Kill her for the money, But surely you
• 22:11

  Speaker 2: Sleep. Trapped in the corner of the old fashioned kitchen,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Patsy has no chance to get past the abbie. As
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: the old lady advances with a heavy knife in her hands.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: We'll see what happens in just a moment. And now

  Speaker 2: Post war old Dutch cleanser in the kitchen of the
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: historic Heartwell mentioned, Patsy is alone with a murderess, a
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: murderers with a heavy knife in her hand, who advances
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: slowly as she says.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: You won't care, not means though, and you won't.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: All that.

• 23:34
  Speaker 2: A girl. Wait all right, I got the nice care
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: hold on, she killed me. Terry and I were just
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: coming in to rest her, and she.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Wanted Gerald to be blended. That's why the ghost never
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: appeared less he was you.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: It was you played around dressed up like old She
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: read arrows.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: At miss very well admitted got the idea when Lisa
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: warned Harriet if the chief ghost would come back for
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: his And when I discovered that secret.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: Stairway, I knew just how it could be done.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, a stairway to Gerald's room. Made it appear that
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: he was the only person who could have shot Miss
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Harriet from inside the house. Well, actually you shut her
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: from outside the window, Nick, How could you do that?
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: A crossbow? Patsy, what wedge in the fork of a
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: tree outside the window? Fired by pulling a string, tried
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: to the trigger, then quickly pulled up into miss Abbey's
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: own room with a cord tight around the stock. The
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: arrow was aimed at the center of miss harriet window.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: When Miss Harriet opened the window for the night, the
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: light inside the room threw her shadow when the tree
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: drunk outside. Ah, and that's when Miss Abbey pulled the string.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: What a set up? Okay? What if we hadn't found
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: that secret stairway, though, then there wouldn't have been all
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: evidence against Jerry.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: You almost didn't find it, idiot, Huh. I pushed the blanket,
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: didn't hit miss on the stairs for you to disgather,
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: so I had to pretend I saw.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Something there so you look closer.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, miss Abbey, I got a nice cell waiting for
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: you down to my jail. Awful, Sorry, there ain't no
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: secret panel for you. The moulty ris What is your shumer?
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Gods or no? Did?
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: I still don't see how Miss Abbey managed to close
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: that window after shooting Miss Harry's with that out.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: But she merely leaned out of her own window and
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: pushed it shut with a clothes crop. The clothes crop, Yeah,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: she took it upstairs early in the evening, and when
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: she was finished with it, she threw it out into
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: the yard.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: But Nick, Miss Harriot's window was locked.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you remember when we broke into the room
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: just after Miss Harriet was killed. It was Miss Abbey
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: who rushed to the window to see whether it was locked.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: What you means she locked a bend?
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: She did.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: Well, I'll be and right in front of us.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Oh. It was a clever scheme, all right.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, but slowly so sure that Gerald hadn't come down
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: that hidden stairway.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: And murdered his hands because I knew Miss Abbey was
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: lying when she pretended to see someone in the closet.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: How did you know?
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Because if anyone had come into the closet from the
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: hidden stairway, the secret door would have creaked so loudly
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: that we couldn't have miss hearing it.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: Gee, she must have planned that murdiful months in advance.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I'm sure she did. But she lost her head when
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: she tried to kill you. Oh, she couldn't cover that up.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: It would have been a bad mistake.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Well, not only for her but for me. Thanks for
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: not letting her make.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: It make You're quite welcome, Betsy. I'd hate to have
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: to break in a new assistance. But why can you
