The Furnished Floor: A Haunting Revisited

Originally Aired: September 13, 1945

In Suspense #158, “The Furnished Floor,” a grieving widower named Mr. Jennings returns to his former apartment, seeking to restore every detail of his married life with his late wife, Mabel—even down to the canary and the exact placement of the furniture. As the new landlady begins to suspect something is terribly off, Jennings reveals an unnerving truth: he believes he’s brought his wife back from the dead. Written by Lucille Fletcher (Sorry, Wrong Number), this is a masterful tale of obsessive love, spectral presence, and eerie domesticity.
