Delighted, Mr. Stanton. Well, all the

signs point to a prosperous association.

- Dollar signs.

- I've sold a batch of tickets already.

- Couple of beers, please.

- [Pop] Okay. Coming up.

I heard from my assistant here

that you really work wonders.

Congratulations

on your success, my boy.

We'll have sell out

after sell out.

Well, okay.

You know, I never believed that you

could talk Miss Mills into buying tickets.

I just had a call from her sister

to reserve a couple.

They're coming over to get a message

from their old man.

- Right, Professor?

- Ah, yes.

I had a visitation from him

on U.S. Route 101.

He definitely

arrives tonight.

What do you say, Pop?

Now do you believe it?

He definitely arrives

tonight, sir.

He better arrive tonight.

He's your main attraction.

Uh, dig up

the vital facts, Ellis.

Who is Mills, and what

does he wanna come back for?

- Okay. See you later.

- Wait a minute. Leave me one of these.

Oh, Pop. Let me

hang this up in here...

and I'll give you a couple of tickets

to the best show in town.

- All right. Go ahead.

- There you are.

Eric, my boy, you got a great calling:

spook promotion.

- You like to back that up with a fin?

- Well, gladly.

I hope to see you

in my room later.

I have a fine collection of friendly

spirits there, Scotch ancestry.

[Bell Jingles]

[Dings]

There you are, Stella.

- [Dings]

-Thank you.

Have you any idea what the deceased Mr.

Mills is going to say at the sance tonight?

- Why?

- They thought a great deal of him around here.

- You wanna be careful.

- Thanks.

[Mechanism Clatters]

[Ballad]

[Man Singing]

[Dings]

- [Continues]

-A beer, please.

That the only record

in that box?

- I like it.

- He knows what you like.

That's for his wife

to worry about.

- What does he do?

- He's from New York.

New York.

He came out here to stay,

to get his health back.

How'd he lose it?

Workin' too hard,

I guess.

He used to be a big man

back there, on the police force.

You like to come

to the show?

You askin' me?

Here.

- Never mind.

- What's the matter?

I don't go places alone.

Okay.

- Here.

- Was that four beers?

Three beers

and a cup of coffee.

[Continues]

[Bell Jingles]

- [Piano]

- You have just heard the spirits

of citizens of Walton...

who have gone on before us, and who

have returned tonight through me-

returned to tell you how happy they are

in their eternal reward.

Now, my good friends of Walton, we have come

to our last and most difficult experiment...

for which I must have

your undivided attention...

and your sincere concentration.

I feel as trange vibration

coming over me.

The vibration of a spirit
