Tales of the Mysterious Traveler



Synopsis:

The Mysterious Traveler was an old time radio show that aired from 1943 to 1952. The lonely sound of a distant locomotive heralded the arrival of the narrator known only as The Mysterious Traveler. The radio show has since fallen into the public domain. Tales of the Mysterious Traveler is a love letter of sorts to the original, providing contemporary tales of the strange and unusual, so settle back, get a good grip on your nerves and get comfortable—if you can!
