Presented by Omnibus Productions, this thriller stars Michael Hordern as Prof. Parkins, a man who arrives at a secluded inn for peace and quiet.
One day while on a picnic/walk he discovers an old whistle and cleans it off. He blows into it and that is when the terror starts.
He is followed and haunted by an evil spirit. The script is tight and the story is very well presented. The Professor is terrorified at the spirit and even though we never get a good look at it, we know damn well it's there.
This was a BBC presentation, and it runs 42 minutes. There is no time for the story to go anywhere but into total terror. I know there have been two more remakes of this, but none capture the creepiness of this, the original.
If you're a fan of well told ghost stories, this is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
