## Resource

Unknown Broadcast returns with four old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage radio mystery, and eerie anthology drama pulled from somewhere beyond the static. Tonight’s transmission begins aboard a deserted ghost ship, where the Annabella is found adrift with warm meals, a set table, and not a living soul on board. Then Escape invites us into a gentleman’s nightmare of cream tarts, secret clubs, death cards, and impossible exits. After that, Suspense takes us to a debt-ridden dude ranch where a missing guest, a forged check, and a body in a rumble seat turn yesterday’s confusion into tonight’s murder mystery. Finally, The Whistler follows a quiet bank teller whose perfect long-term theft becomes a perfect trap. 🔱 “Sea Fever” — CBS Radio Mystery Theater / Ian Martin The Annabella should be an ordinary merchant ship, but bad luck clings to her from the start. A ruthless captain guards his mysterious wife, sailors vanish, whispers of mutiny rise, and the sea begins to feel less like water than judgment.🃏 “The Young Man with the Cream Tarts” — Escape / Robert Louis Stevenson A bored prince follows a strange young man handing out cream tarts and discovers a hidden society where desperate men gamble with death. One card selects the victim. Another selects the killer. 🌙 “Last Night” — Suspense / Cornell Woolrich Jacqueline and Gil Blaine are buried in debt at a dude ranch when a wealthy guest vanishes, money goes missing, and suspicion begins circling closer and closer. The answer is hidden in a car, a corpse, and one terrible night no one can quite explain. 💰 “Fool’s Gold” — The Whistler Herbert Lang has spent years planning the perfect bank theft. He knows the dates, the money, the route, and the escape. But greed, murder, and one dead man’s secret turn…
