Eno Crime Clues ”The Petticoat Ghost” recreation of pioneering March 1936 mystery audio drama

From the early days of the classic era of audio drama, Project Audion recreates a unique ghost-story/murder-mystery taken from a radio drama which is now so forgotten that it, too, might well be a ghost. But in the early 1930s "Eno Crime Clues" was a major radio hit, following the adventures of detective Spencer Dean (known as "The Manhunter") and his partner, Dan Cassidy. Our lost script from 1936 took the show in a new direction. You know how Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" made such an impact by making the story sound like a genuine on-the-spot broadcast? Well, he wasn't the first. This Crime Clues episode tried the same trick over two years earlier, using a real location, the show's genuine announcer and director, and a remote broadcast which -- well, you'll just have to listen...
