Originally Aired: July 27, 1944

In Suspense #102, “The Black Shawl,” a young woman named Susan Appleby accepts what seems like a simple live-in companionship job for a grieving widow—but soon finds herself trapped in a house of secrets, madness, and menace. Her new employer, Mrs. Masters, speaks tenderly of her lost son, a once-promising sculptor—until Susan discovers he’s not dead at all, but hidden upstairs, broken in body and mind. As Susan pieces together the disturbing truth about past companions who never left, she realizes she may not survive to tell her tale. A gothic psychological thriller that builds slowly toward a harrowing finale.

Cast:

Maureen O’Sullivan, Dame May Whitty
