Great Detectives of Old Time Radio

on YouTube, they have thousands of radio programs there.

I used to love those old time radio shows. Lots of the later TV shows had their origins on Radio. Gunsmoke, for example. Others.

Back in the day (late 50s to very early 60s, maybe?) There was a weekly radio program with themes similar to the original Twilight Zone TV shows. I can't recall the name of the series and Google was singularly unhelpful. "The Outer Limits", maybe? But radio was called "theatre of the mind" for a very good reason. You didn't need a TV. You just listened to the narrative and your mind chipped in by supplying mental images far more lurid than anything you could have seen on the (then) black and white TV screens). I recall one episode; a woman had lost a family member and enlisted the aid of a sorcerer to bring him back to life. It was some time after the funeral when things finally fell into place. The woman was in her house at dusk. You could hear faint footsteps outside; a sort of crunching like very slow walking on gravel as I recall, which got gradually louder--and louder--and louder. Inside the woman was panicking, not knowing what to do. Finally the footsteps stopped and there was a knock on the door. After a long pause the voice of the woman shrieked "I want him dead. Dead! And at peace".

The show ended with that line.
