Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Refusing to heed warnings that it is haunted, Andrew and Ellen Courtney (Robert Webber, Nancy Hadley) rent an old house on the New England coast. Before long, the Courtneys wish that they'd listened to those warnings: Andrew has been possessed by the ghost of a sadistic sea captain, who seems determined to destroy the couple's marriage in the nastiest possible way. This episode is a tour de force for veteran character actor Robert Webber), especially when his voice takes on the huskier, more sinister tones of the malevolent spirit.
