## Resource

CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents “Ghost Powder,” episode 370, originally broadcast October 29, 1975. Written by Sam Dann and directed by Himan Brown, this historical supernatural mystery features Michael Wager, Marian Seldes, Court Benson, Bryna Raeburn, and Guy Sorel. In 18th-century France, John and Abigail Adams confront an unnerving presence in their residence while Adams also navigates political tensions involving Thomas Jefferson. A haunting atmosphere and diplomatic intrigue collide in this tale set against the early American mission abroad.
