Play The Witch's Tale on Radio Days

The Witch's Tale was a horror and fantasy anthology that aired from 1931 to 1938 on WOR, the Mutual network and in syndication. Alonzo Deen Cole created, wrote and directed the series. Each week brought a different eerie story, introduced by its host Old Nancy, the Witch of Salem, with her cat Satan. Most scripts were originals, though some adapted classic literature such as works by Robert Louis Stevenson and Mary Shelley.
