My dad loved the TV show Gun Smoke, he would buy the individual boxes of Cracker Jack and keep them on a high shelve, we could only have them during Gun Smoke so we would be quiet and he could watch his show. 5 kids can make alot of noise.
I’m glad the father humbled himself and said "Thank you” to the little ghosts. Glad he acknowledged them and said something sweet. They didn’t try and poison Ann’s relationship with her father despite their own history. They wanted her to be loved and happy and released her when they knew she would be. Very touching story. 😊
These kind of movies always scared the heck outta me, as a little girl and even now as an adult. My sister and my cousin always enjoyed the twilight zone and this type of stuff. But i would be trembling in my seat!😳🏃🏾

This episode was precious. The loving spirits of three precious children, taken from life so tragically, but yet the love remained and helped mend the void between a father and daughter. Beautiful and tender 🙏🏼
I remember being scared by this episode as a child. The part about the aunt being hugged by the unseen presence really got to me. I remember so much dread and fearful fascination these stories evoked when I was a kid. And that music! All without special effects. Only a child's imaginative fear of scary things in stories.
@ritaturner9906 I remember seeing this show in later 1960s. I was about 13 years old. I just loved One Step Beyond and looked forward to it every week!
@ I guess that would make sense. At the time were there no reruns? I probably started watching my shows around late 70s other than cartoons and Brady bunch, get smart and flint stones till about age 10. Wow, I missed out. I remember seeing The Birds and that freaked me out
@ritaturner9906 You can find the series on youtube. That's where I found them and was so happy to enjoy them again! I might have been closer to 14 then. I just turned 70 in Oct. It was a great series🙂
This had some heartfelt moments. When Anne first kisses her father, when the father says Thank You to the spirits at the end. And when Song is discussing how flowers are difficult to listen to but you can hear them...interesting.
As much as I'm fond of TZ and, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, I am, really, revelling in a series I never got to see. Every(about, 10)episode I've, thus far, viewed has been compelling and, captivating. "Liked/subscribed"; thank-you, for sharing this.
I remembered this story from YEARS back and had been trying to locate it only to stumble upon it when I was looking for something else. Don't know why I clicked on the link but it's like I was led to it - THANK YOU for posting it!!
I had a reoccurring dream as a child. 3 women would visit me. (I was being abused & neglected). They spoke Spanish, I didn't, so I never knew what they were saying but they tried to comfort me. One of their names started with an 'M' is the only thing I remember from it.
I was born in a very, very old house, widely believed by most of the county to be haunted. Sometimes, if I were crying alone in my room at night, an older woman would sing very softly to me...on cold nights, it wasn't unusual to have a hand pull the covers up around me. Or a cool hand caress my forehead when I had a fever. I thought she was just another family member...we had so many relatives in the area. It wasn't until I(4 or 5, somewhere in age between the two) began singing her song to my kittens one day and my grandmother asked me where I learned it that I found out it was a Cherokee song. My grandmother knew the words...her own grandmother had been part Cherokee...but no one else in the immediate family spoke it. The song was a sad but comforting song...if that makes sense or not, still it was. I was never frightened. I felt protected, safe. Nothing bad ever happened to me as long as I lived there. After my parents split and we left, I never truly felt at home anywhere ever again. I miss my home still.
@@ametrineambrosia4929 I was horribly abused and neglected by my parents and older siblings. Every day I struggle with the hate I have for them; I wish I could forgive them, but it was all just so horrible! When people speak of their parents in loving terms I like to tell them what a blessing it is that they had parents that actually loved them.
@@teslagirl1 It's such a blessing to have had a home where you felt love; even if only for a little while, some folks never have loving parents or family, let alone loving spirits to comfort them, you are blessed.
Just found this series and the writing and acting are top notch! Whoever wrote the father's role in the script must have had a PhD in psychology. An American man born during the depression, taught by his family, friends and society at the time that it was a man's duty to keep his emotions bottled up. Probably went to war in Korea, saw and did some things he'd rather forget, found a woman he loved and settled down, only to be traumatized by her death. Now he'll do anything to avoid showing his grief, including pushing his only child away. And to show all that so eloquently in the space of about 20 minutes is masterful! Also, that Chinese servant is played by the Korean actor Phillip Ahn, who played Master Kan in the old 70's show Kung Fu with David Carradine. He was the one who said "Snatch the pebble from my hand".
Not bad! My grandfather was born in 1930, and though I never met him (he died in 1986, long before I was born) I know he was a bit like that. He was in Korea, too
Nah. All dudes bottle up their feelings and then go home to punch their own wives; kick the dog and molest their kids sadly enough, but real men who are still in touch with their feminine side? Those guys are actually the keepers who truly believe that women oughta be able to do what they want and work and love their children and wouldn’t ever have any kind of those sick thoughts; as well as ❤️ their pets too! I’m only speaking for myself of course, but I know a few more who aren’t stuck in the dark ages anymore; but most of them still want their women to know her place! Sincerely, DJP Boston Massachusetts Amerikkka of course 🕳🏳️ 🇺🇦 Our own country in a nutshell with our current demented President being blackmailed by Zelensky for trillions in cash; all our emergency oil reserves and military equipment; plus anything else to kill us just as they’re doing in communal China 🇨🇳 Which’s where we started creating the vaccine before the actual Coronavirus folks! 👍
Whatever role he played, good guy or bad guy, Phillip Ahn NEVER gave a bad or 'off' performance. It is worth your while to search for and see his work. Along with his support to help his native Korea, the man was a treasure. He personified dignity and caring for his fellow man everywhere. I have had the privilege of knowing a few like him. If you ever have that privilege you will be blessed for it.
When that ominous music plays, you just know something weird is going to happen. Thanks for uploading these soooo underrated gems; stories are awesome.
It would take some getting used to, but I like to think that someone who _accepted_ their hugs and showed them some affection, could help the poor little spirits find their way out of this world and into the next.
I am the same. I have been looking for that score when Ann goes up the stairs the first time. I remember it as a child but didn't know what show it was from.
As little girls in horror/drama films usually they might try to cause a fatal accident in order to keep Ann as theirs as a forever playmate..I like the way this ended instead with her father realizing that he truly does love his daughter.
My beloved Philip Ahn! American born, Korean heritage, his distinctive voice (without the fake accents) was most powerful in the TV series, Kung Fu (David Carradine). I miss his on screen presence. 😃
Well said and well put ! I recognized him right away, having watched him in so many vintage films and TV shows over the years. What a wonderful actor !
When I was little this show scared me. That music was enough to induce anxiety attacks. It's funny how things that frightened you when you were young can still have an odd hold on you somewhere inside. I think I'll go take another Xanax now.
I watched this twice, and the second time, after I went to bed that night, I heard Ann's voice over and over "Yes?... Someone called me. Someone called my name" and I was so creeped out I almost had to leave my bedroom door open all night🤣🤣🤣🤣
I heard one uploader say that only the first season of OSB was this clear. It's true, if you notice, all the best, clearest episodes are from the first season!
The first season of OSB was restored and made available to buy. I got it. This episode is from that season. For reasons unknown, the company hasnt restored the last 2 seasons. I wish they would !
“The Dead Part of the House,” Season 1, Episode 9, aired 17 March 1959. John Newland, Himself as Host, Philip Abbott, as Paul Burton, Joanne Linville as Aunt Minna Boswell, Mimi Gibson as Ann Burton, Philip Ahn as Song, and Ken Drake as the Gas Man.
Best show ever, One Step Beyond...not only because of the class act that John Newland is, throughout all the episodes he delivers, but the fact that they are TRUE stories! They really happened.
Yes! TRUE urban LEGENDS!

When people talk about supernatural themed shows of the '50s and '60s, they always bring up The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, but for me , Boris Karloff's Thriller and this show were just as great as those shows.
I rented all of these from Netflix, didn't know TH-cam had them too!! Love this!!! And yes, the "Thriiler" shows were great, people these days don't know what they are missing!
My cousin had a "best friend" when he was very small, and it turned out to be the spirit of the little boy who had lived in the house fifty years ago and died in the park about a mile up the hill. "Micah" , the boy's name was. Frightening lol
Out of all the episodes, this one was my favorite. The pacing, ambience, and story telling for a 25 minute window was really good. A great show in general, but this episode stands out.
Omg I have not seen that since I was a kid , but that episode freaked me out so bad hat I would not go down the stairs to leave my apt. Building - sometimes the light was out. My mother would walk to he top of the stairs and say, away all ghosts, away Jennifer , away Rose, away Mary
But the dolls were very friendly, I would have gone about it a different way, if my little girl were afraid of them. They were just lonely, shouldn't make them out as bad!
Love this episode!!! Especially because it's the total opposite of "Talking Tina", on Twilight Zone! This one has a totally "redemptive", and beautiful ending!
I think her dead mother somehow gave the little girl the idea to kiss her dad before he left and after he came home- that is why it surprised and confused him. I am certain his wife did that every day before she passed away.
This series is great I never heard of it before even though I'm 68 years old remember Twilight Zone outer limit but I never got to see this one I've heard of it even so thank you really enjoying this!
Girl child are dad's pet love, my sister was my Dad's precious doll.my dear dad treated her as house princess,Bcuz my sister is xerox copy of grandpa, fair & cat eyes, I can't imagine dad's loathings towards daughter. From incredible India.
Love the story. I wonder if this really happened the way the story was portrayed. As all stories of OSB are based on facts. I have heard of a story told to me by my sister-in-law which involved two dolls. A boy, and a girl. When she was a child, they pretended the two dolls got married to each other. There was a pretend wedding and everything. The family put the two dolls sitting together on a shelf as they left them in the bedroom while my in-laws went off to have lunch. During lunch, they all smelled something burning. They found the two dolls still on the shelf in that room where they left them but the girl doll, was all burned! Like someone didn’t like it and set her on fire 🔥! Nothing els in the room was scorched except for the girl doll. Not the surrounding curtains, books, walls, furniture. Not even the shelf the dolls both sat on. Only the girl doll had been touched by flames. The boy doll next to her was also untouched. There was nothing around the dolls in that room ever found that could create such an extreme heat to the extent as cause a fire. And why only the girl doll. Can dolls become a host to an other worldly entity? If so, maybe the “boy” doll did not like his bride? We do live among so many things even science can’t explain. Our universe and our own existence we ourselves can not comprehend.
Kate Whitley I know, right? Especially the vintage ones with the realistic faces. Some of the expressions are insanely creepy. I feel disturbed by clowns- even the dolls.
I subscribed. I am so glad you post the shows of One Step Beyond. It was a favorite show of mine years ago, and probably the most favorite besides Outer Limits. I still like watching them to this day! Thanks for being one with the same interest.
I NEED, a “JENNIFER, 🌹 Rose, & Mary” in my life before it’s too late, to make my Dad see the “LIGHT” 😰 I call Him every night, too say, Good Night, and tell him, “I LOVE HIM🥰” and too ask how he’s feeling. I wish, He cared, and truly wanted the BEST for me as well. 🤔😨😰
Thank you for sharing it. I loved this episode very much. It is sad that she had to leave the ghosts, the aunt, & the housekeeper; that would make a lovely family.
I used to LOVE this show. Gosh I had forgotten how far back my love of the supernatural goes. My favorite episode is the one with the lion statues. I wonder if that one can be found here?
This series is scary. I had nightmares from some of the episodes when I watched back in the 1970s. I started to watch this episode last night but when I saw the dolls, I decided to watch it during the day.
This music . . . whenever I am trying not to be frightened, whenever I am trying not to think of the things that most frighten me, it's this piece of music that seeps through.
Thank you, PizzaFlix, for this upload. What an absolutely wonderful story, beautifully told and enacted. This is the sort of story that would benefit from being fleshed out and made into a full-length feature film. DO so like John's comment at about 1:00 into our story that some 'people have been round long enough not to disbelieve merely because they don't understand'. PRICELESS!
These are really cool , reminded me of a loVely friendly house I used to liVe in ; ) neVer experienced a home like it before or since , will neVer forget it
@@Marisol9111-w3p Settle down, there is an 'and' between the creator and the ancestors and if we are not also, repeat also there is an 'also' there, a gift from the ancestors than why do I have my mothers eyes, hair, legs and a few other bits and have my grandmothers hands?
Nice to see _'The Twilight Zone'_ alumni Philip Abbott (Paul Burton) and Joanne Linville (Aunt Minna Boswell) in this. Abbott appears as the father in TTZ episode _'Long Distance Call'_ and Linville as the ever-waiting wife in _'The Passersby'._ Both great episodes...
The young actress who plays Ann is superb. I found her on IMDB--her name is Mimi Gibson and she was one of the hardest-working child actors of the 1950s. Her mother lived off her earnings and squandered all the money that Mimi made.
My mother and I were cleaning out some old toys from our basement not long after I watched this. She held up three dolls, and she asked what their names were. I couldn't resist. I said, oh, those are Jennifer, Rose, and Mary! Then I got a bad case of the creeps the whole rest of the morning!!🤣🤣🤣
I have always felt so moved by the scene where the girl is angirly shaken up by her father and is in tears by the stairs. It is done so realistically that I felt I wanted to reach in and comfort the poor child in my arms. It is rare to see such an emotionally jarring scene with a child. Superbly done.
I was rather pissed the way he was shaking her- her delicate bone structure, her emotions,etc- when raising children, one must use enormous love and patience. And, I watched this when I was 12 years old sporadically because I was busy playing with kids myself. It's only by chance that I rediscovered this great series.
This episode always reminds me of a reaccuring dream I always had a child about three sisters who would talk to me in spanish. I didn't have any introduction to that language as a child so I didn't know what they were saying, but they were kind (I had an abusive dad), and always tried to help me be strong against evil. I only remember the first letter of ONE of their names... it was an M, but they were Mexican/Spaniard names, and the sisters in my dream were adults.
I must share a story...a true story. It would be right about the same time as this show was made in late 1959/early 1960. This was 2 years before I was born, my older sister was 2. My father's business career was on it's way up and he was offered the option to open up a new territory in New Hampshire. Relocating from Central NY. They purchased a grand old home built in the 1870's. An authentic Victorian home that retained all of it's original character and much of it's original features and many of it's furnishings and had the same family for 4 generations living there before it was sold. It was quite a change as my mother described it to me as they were living in a recently built home of no more than 5 years old back in NY. My mother was the most scientific, educated, level headed clear thinker , not prone to imagination, or superstition. She was simply the most rational dedicated mother and wife a family could ever hope for. She left IBM tech dept upon getting pregnant with my sister. I never leaned of this story until I was in my 20's. They moved in and in less than 2 weeks later left. My mother tells that she was in her bedroom early in the evening, with my father not yet home. Reading a book while laying on the bed as was her custom, she looked up and saw a reflection in the mirror of what appeared to be an older woman dressed in 1880-1890 period clothing, she was transfixed by the sight and then turned to where the reflection would seem to emanate from and there was the lady, very slowly the lady turned her head towards my mother and whispered "get out". My mother for perhaps the only time in her life screamed with fear and and ran out never to return. She grabbed my sister from the playpen next to the bed and fled in pajama's to the house next door. She kept an eye out waiting for my father to return home and flagged him down from the neighbors yard. She calmly told my father that she would never ever set foot in that house again and nor would my sister. I can only imagine what and how my father must have felt and reacted to this. Knowing my mother as he did he knew that what she said about never setting foot ever again in that home was cast in stone. She never did. Dad had to find a home with "no history" to it. The went to motel that night and within a few days found a rental home and moved in for a few months until they purchased a new home. Never again in the next 40 years did anything ever occur that was not logical or strange. It's only because I knew my mother and how this could not be something imaginary that I have absolute faith that what she claimed she saw was not a flight of fancy or anything other than an actual real experience. She passed away in 2000 suddenly from pancreatic cancer. Never once in all her years did she ever have any doubt about what she experienced. My sister, much like my mother, is a no bs hard driving business owner not given to anything other than cold clear reality. 20 years later she had an experience that impacted her as much as it did my mother....but that's another story for another time. I miss you mom !
I suspect your mother was actually sleeping when she saw the vision in the mirror, but thought she was really awake! Similar things have happened to me!!!🤔
I have 4 older sisters. I told my one sister when i was about 10 " I heard a woman crying in our room." I was shocked when she said " oh her, we've all heard her." OK then.
@@StanZ-i6wso rude and stupid of you to say. Skeptics will grasp at anything lol. Did you not catch the part about her reading at the time it happened?? Not asleep.
Very good episode I really enjoyed a lot but I was thinking maybe they should’ve stayed in the house because the Ghost s Friendly and they won’t hurt nobody that’s a really cool house to live in
yes it's true, I used to liVe in a Very friendly loVing home like that once but the owners moVed back in so we had to leaVe sadly , still think about that house. best house I eVer liVed in ; )
I was kinda thinking the same thing too. But then I thought that maybe its good that they left because there would be a chance to give many more families healings from that room and 3 spiritual beings.
Yes, an instantly recognisable, unique face. Great actor, too. I'm glad I saw him in this. Although I doubt whether aunt Minah/Minna would have taken too kindly to being (gently) lectured in how to treat her niece by her servant Song (when she's starting up the stairs).
Of course, because they are busy bringing us happiness as they appear, it would be assumed that we couldn't hear them because we are busying smiling at them and thinking happy thoughts at the same time.🌹🌺🌻🌼🌹

Also, that Chinese servant is played by the Korean actor Phillip Ahn, who played Master Kan in the old 70's show Kung Fu with David Carradine.
He was the one who said "Snatch the pebble from my hand".
Not bad! My grandfather was born in 1930, and though I never met him (he died in 1986, long before I was born) I know he was a bit like that. He was in Korea, too
My dad was like that. He was in WWII. Believed children should not be heard. Very severe. It was a hard way to grow up.

Those guys are actually the keepers who truly believe that women oughta be able to do what they want and work and love their children and wouldn’t ever have any kind of those sick thoughts; as well as ❤️ their pets too! I’m only speaking for myself of course, but I know a few more who aren’t stuck in the dark ages anymore; but most of them still want their women to know her place! Sincerely, DJP Boston Massachusetts Amerikkka of course 🕳🏳️ 🇺🇦 Our own country in a nutshell with our current demented President being blackmailed by Zelensky for trillions in cash; all our emergency oil reserves and military equipment; plus anything else to kill us just as they’re doing in communal China 🇨🇳 Which’s where we started creating the vaccine before the actual Coronavirus folks! 👍
Exactly right about that one!
Whatever role he played, good guy or bad guy, Phillip Ahn NEVER gave a bad or 'off' performance. It is worth your while to search for and see his work. Along with his support to help his native Korea, the man was a treasure. He personified dignity and caring for his fellow man everywhere. I have had the privilege of knowing a few like him. If you ever have that privilege you will be blessed for it.
When that ominous music plays, you just know something weird is going to happen. Thanks for uploading these soooo underrated gems; stories are awesome.
Never watched one step beyond.
Love it 💜
the little girl is a wonderful little actress!
Mimi Gibson, that little girl, is now 76.
It would take some getting used to, but I like to think that someone who _accepted_ their hugs and showed them some affection, could help the poor little spirits find their way out of this world and into the next.
Yes, absolutely!!!!
The score really adds to "creepiness" As a boy it transfixed me.
I am the same. I have been looking for that score when Ann goes up the stairs the first time. I remember it as a child but didn't know what show it was from.
As little girls in horror/drama films usually they might try to cause a fatal accident in order to keep Ann as theirs as a forever playmate..I like the way this ended instead with her father realizing that he truly does love his daughter.
He did love his daughter, that was obvious, in the 2nd half.
My beloved Philip Ahn! American born, Korean heritage, his distinctive voice (without the fake accents) was most powerful in the TV series, Kung Fu (David Carradine). I miss his on screen presence. 😃
Take the pebble from my hand, Grasshopper.
Same here. He had a long and notable acting career, but my favorite character of his has to be Master Kan -- so gentle, wise, and strong.
You can hear the wisdom in his voice. I've thought of him through the decades from the Kung Fu series.
Ok I didn't recognize him with hair on his head. What an excellent actor
Well said and well put ! I recognized him right away, having watched him in so many vintage films and TV shows over the years. What a wonderful actor !
When I was little this show scared me. That music was enough to induce anxiety attacks.
It's funny how things that frightened you when you were young can still have an odd hold on you somewhere inside.
I think I'll go take another Xanax now.
Xanax. What a pleasant way to spend the day. 😊
@LoveEverton John Yess, espec. on a Cold ☁☁💧☔💧☔💧Saturday, in my Pj's & up under a Warm Blanket, etc.
Lol 😕😊☺😀😆Don't take the Xanax. Please 🙏🙏🙏. God will comfort, take away yur anxiety, etc...N JeSuS Name, Amén.💯 👍 👊 💥 ✌
😆👍
Always Wondering twilight zone music frightened me when I was a child.
It touched me when he said "Thank you" He thanked them at the end
I watched this twice, and the second time, after I went to bed that night, I heard Ann's voice over and over "Yes?... Someone called me. Someone called my name" and I was so creeped out I almost had to leave my bedroom door open all night🤣🤣🤣🤣
Our mind can really do a number on us, can't it?
Usually, _One Step Beyond_ videos uploaded online look really bad--dark, grainy, poor contrast--but this one looks pristine. Thanks for posting! Liked & subscribed.
You can always rely on Mr. Pizza man!
I was thinking that myself. It does look better than most.
I heard one uploader say that only the first season of OSB was this clear. It's true, if you notice, all the best, clearest episodes are from the first season!
The first season of OSB was restored and made available to buy. I got it. This episode is from that season. For reasons unknown, the company hasnt restored the last 2 seasons. I wish they would !
@@axiomist1076 Good for you. This episode was pretty top notch.
I just found this channel last night,I think I'm possessed, been binge watching 18 hours almost non-stop.
“The Dead Part of the House,” Season 1, Episode 9, aired 17 March 1959. John Newland, Himself as Host, Philip Abbott, as Paul Burton, Joanne Linville as Aunt Minna Boswell, Mimi Gibson as Ann Burton, Philip Ahn as Song, and Ken Drake as the Gas Man.
I'm 61 now I watched this when I was a kid, I liked life better when it was filled with mystery
You said, it, James. Mystery, a sense of wonder...where did they go? Lol.🤔
This was a good episode...happy ending! Thanks for posting!
Beautiful ending. Heartfelt. A lesson to be learned. ❤
When the father turned and said * thank you* he was being sincere and it brought tears to my eyes.😢
Me too!
Best show ever, One Step Beyond...not only because of the class act that John Newland is, throughout all the episodes he delivers, but the fact that they are TRUE stories! They really happened.
Absolutely. I loved the fact that One Step Beyond was based on real events.
Yeah right
Maybe based upon 'Reported' events. But real? 😋
Yes! TRUE urban LEGENDS!

When people talk about supernatural themed shows of the '50s and '60s, they always bring up The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, but for me , Boris Karloff's Thriller and this show were just as great as those shows.
I rented all of these from Netflix, didn't know TH-cam had them too!! Love this!!! And yes, the "Thriiler" shows were great, people these days don't know what they are missing!
When you're young you see things that no one else can see and hear things I know it's happened to me great videos thank you 👍🇺🇸🙂
My cousin had a "best friend" when he was very small, and it turned out to be the spirit of the little boy who had lived in the house fifty years ago and died in the park about a mile up the hill. "Micah" , the boy's name was. Frightening lol
Out of all the episodes, this one was my favorite. The pacing, ambience, and story telling for a 25 minute window was really good. A great show in general, but this episode stands out.
Omg I have not seen that since I was a kid , but that episode freaked me out so bad hat I would not go down the stairs to leave my apt. Building - sometimes the light was out. My mother would walk to he top of the stairs and say, away all ghosts, away Jennifer , away Rose, away Mary
Those poor girl ghosts
You had a lovely Mom❣
But the dolls were very friendly, I would have gone about it a different way, if my little girl were afraid of them. They were just lonely, shouldn't make them out as bad!
Love this episode!!! Especially because it's the total opposite of "Talking Tina", on Twilight Zone! This one has a totally "redemptive", and beautiful ending!
There was a similar Twilight Zone episode: "I Sing the Body Electric" 😊
@KevSm-li8yy that sounds like a ray bradbury story
I think her dead mother somehow gave the little girl the idea to kiss her dad before he left and after he came home- that is why it surprised and confused him. I am certain his wife did that every day before she passed away.
I think, know it was the dolls
I've never heard of this series before. Very nice episode. Thanks!
This series is great I never heard of it before even though I'm 68 years old remember Twilight Zone outer limit but I never got to see this one I've heard of it even so thank you really enjoying this!
Thank you Pizza Flix for all your work in uploading these great Gems and keeping them out alive out there
Girl child are dad's pet love, my sister was my Dad's precious doll.my dear dad treated her as house princess,Bcuz my sister is xerox copy of grandpa, fair & cat eyes, I can't imagine dad's loathings towards daughter. From incredible India.
Wow! I remember this. I used to watch this series on TV back in the late 50s. I was just coming into my teens at the time.
This was a lovely story.
Love can be so fragile if not taken care of.
Children need affection wherever they go......
Don't we all
Love the story. I wonder if this really happened the way the story was portrayed. As all stories of OSB are based on facts. I have heard of a story told to me by my sister-in-law which involved two dolls. A boy, and a girl. When she was a child, they pretended the two dolls got married to each other. There was a pretend wedding and everything. The family put the two dolls sitting together on a shelf as they left them in the bedroom while my in-laws went off to have lunch. During lunch, they all smelled something burning. They found the two dolls still on the shelf in that room where they left them but the girl doll, was all burned! Like someone didn’t like it and set her on fire 🔥! Nothing els in the room was scorched except for the girl doll. Not the surrounding curtains, books, walls, furniture. Not even the shelf the dolls both sat on. Only the girl doll had been touched by flames. The boy doll next to her was also untouched. There was nothing around the dolls in that room ever found that could create such an extreme heat to the extent as cause a fire. And why only the girl doll. Can dolls become a host to an other worldly entity? If so, maybe the “boy” doll did not like his bride? We do live among so many things even science can’t explain. Our universe and our own existence we ourselves can not comprehend.
Kate Whitley I know, right? Especially the vintage ones with the realistic faces. Some of the expressions are insanely creepy. I feel disturbed by clowns- even the dolls.
Sounds like he was an abusive husband doll. Should have locked him up!
Are you kidding me? You probably believe trump won too.
I very much doubt that story is true.
@@Shellykiker ffs.....leave politics out of it!! Smh
That house in Sausalito Ca. probably listed for $5.500 in 1895.Today...25 Million !Jennifer, Rose and Mary are living 1st class now!
This is a solid story with solid performances. Modern t.v. doesn't do this type of story very well now.
What a beautiful little girl,and well played.😊
I subscribed. I am so glad you post the shows of One Step Beyond. It was a favorite show of mine years ago, and probably the most favorite besides Outer Limits. I still like watching them to this day! Thanks for being one with the same interest.
One of my favorite shows growing up. This episode makes me cry, it's both sad and happy. 😇😇😇
I like ghost stories in which ghosts are helpful or need help. I loved the way this story turned out!
Beautiful episode, Love these black and white series!! This was very nice 👌
Damn he about to kill her in the first five minutes. Tough on a little girl.
I NEED, a “JENNIFER, 🌹 Rose, & Mary” in my life before it’s too late, to make my Dad see the “LIGHT” 😰
I call Him every night, too say, Good Night, and tell him, “I LOVE HIM🥰” and too ask how he’s feeling.
I wish, He cared, and truly wanted the BEST for me as well. 🤔😨😰
👍Fascinating. Way before my time. I’ve never heard of this show or series. It seems interesting. Thanks for posting. 💞
The florals are wonderful!
It was only broadcast for two years. Twilight Zone arrived and took off.
@@tessaducek5601 - Oooh well that explains that. 😞
Thank you for sharing it. I loved this episode very much. It is sad that she had to leave the ghosts, the aunt, & the housekeeper; that would make a lovely family.
The aunt & housekeeper followed her and her dad back to Denver.
do not like profile
I used to LOVE this show. Gosh I had forgotten how far back my love of the supernatural goes. My favorite episode is the one with the lion statues. I wonder if that one can be found here?
One of the most lovely and fascinating movies.
Thank you.
You' ve made my day!
This series is scary. I had nightmares from some of the episodes when I watched back in the 1970s. I started to watch this episode last night but when I saw the dolls, I decided to watch it during the day.
Lucky she didnt get whiplash. That was rough handling. Couldnt get away with that today. It was just wrong.
You're a thin-skinned sissy.
@@yankee2666 You've heard of Shaken Baby Syndrome, right?
My father was a piece of shit too
This music . . . whenever I am trying not to be frightened, whenever I am trying not to think of the things that most frighten me, it's this piece of music that seeps through.
Thank you, PizzaFlix, for this upload. What an absolutely wonderful story, beautifully told and enacted. This is the sort of story that would benefit from being fleshed out and made into a full-length feature film.
DO so like John's comment at about 1:00 into our story that some 'people have been round long enough not to disbelieve merely because they don't understand'. PRICELESS!
What an interesting episode....it's lovely to think that spirits can help us, I'm sure they often do when we are very much in need of help.😊
I remember watching these when I was young!!!
These are really cool , reminded me of a loVely friendly house I used to liVe in ; ) neVer experienced a home like it before or since , will neVer forget it
This makes me cry. A child is a gift from The creator and the ancestors. But that is here nor there
Ancestors?? Are u kidding me? Children are a gift from God, not ancestors.
@@Marisol9111-w3p Settle down, there is an 'and' between the creator and the ancestors and if we are not also, repeat also there is an 'also' there, a gift from the ancestors than why do I have my mothers eyes, hair, legs and a few other bits and have my grandmothers hands?
@@robynstephens7076 sis he is obviously uneducated when it comes to culture
@@Marisol9111-w3poh shut up you fanatical ahole
Thank you for all of these really great shows.
Great quality. Thank you
I enjoyed watching One Step and yes, Alfred and Twilight!
Nice to see _'The Twilight Zone'_ alumni Philip Abbott (Paul Burton) and Joanne Linville (Aunt Minna Boswell) in this. Abbott appears as the father in TTZ episode _'Long Distance Call'_ and Linville as the ever-waiting wife in _'The Passersby'._ Both great episodes...
Damn, nice catch
A glimpse into a classier era. In times of such societal turmoil, it's good to have a reminder of how artfully and carefully things once were done.
This movie should be a Wakeup call for ll neglectful and absent fathers .. very poignant
I wish they would bring it back me and my sisters would watch this all the time we never 😍💜
The young actress who plays Ann is superb. I found her on IMDB--her name is Mimi Gibson and she was one of the hardest-working child actors of the 1950s. Her mother lived off her earnings and squandered all the money that Mimi made.
I for one appreciate your research! 👍
This program scared the soul out of me when I was a little girl...I loved it! Especially the music... 🧟♀️👻👀
As soon as I saw the dolls, I said to myself “Something evil is about to come my way.”
Jeffrey Morrissey lol
My mother and I were cleaning out some old toys from our basement not long after I watched this. She held up three dolls, and she asked what their names were. I couldn't resist. I said, oh, those are Jennifer, Rose, and Mary! Then I got a bad case of the creeps the whole rest of the morning!!🤣🤣🤣
I have always felt so moved by the scene where the girl is angirly shaken up by her father and is in tears by the stairs. It is done so realistically that I felt I wanted to reach in and comfort the poor child in my arms. It is rare to see such an emotionally jarring scene with a child. Superbly done.
Thanks for posting these. I love them! I had never seen this show, but I grew up on Twilight Zone and Outer Limits.
Me to
My first introduction to Twilight Zone was with the Mystery Comics Digest series, which came out in the early '70s 😊
I was rather pissed the way he was shaking her- her delicate bone structure, her emotions,etc- when raising children, one must use enormous love and patience. And, I watched this when I was 12 years old sporadically because I was busy playing with kids myself. It's only by chance that I rediscovered this great series.
This episode always reminds me of a reaccuring dream I always had a child about three sisters who would talk to me in spanish. I didn't have any introduction to that language as a child so I didn't know what they were saying, but they were kind (I had an abusive dad), and always tried to help me be strong against evil. I only remember the first letter of ONE of their names... it was an M, but they were Mexican/Spaniard names, and the sisters in my dream were adults.
Exactly what’s missing for decades. CREATIVITY!
💯
I must share a story...a true story. It would be right about the same time as this show was made in late 1959/early 1960. This was 2 years before I was born, my older sister was 2. My father's business career was on it's way up and he was offered the option to open up a new territory in New Hampshire. Relocating from Central NY. They purchased a grand old home built in the 1870's. An authentic Victorian home that retained all of it's original character and much of it's original features and many of it's furnishings and had the same family for 4 generations living there before it was sold. It was quite a change as my mother described it to me as they were living in a recently built home of no more than 5 years old back in NY.
My mother was the most scientific, educated, level headed clear thinker , not prone to imagination, or superstition. She was simply the most rational dedicated mother and wife a family could ever hope for. She left IBM tech dept upon getting pregnant with my sister.
I never leaned of this story until I was in my 20's. They moved in and in less than 2 weeks later left. My mother tells that she was in her bedroom early in the evening, with my father not yet home. Reading a book while laying on the bed as was her custom, she looked up and saw a reflection in the mirror of what appeared to be an older woman dressed in 1880-1890 period clothing, she was transfixed by the sight and then turned to where the reflection would seem to emanate from and there was the lady, very slowly the lady turned her head towards my mother and whispered "get out". My mother for perhaps the only time in her life screamed with fear and and ran out never to return.
She grabbed my sister from the playpen next to the bed and fled in pajama's to the house next door. She kept an eye out waiting for my father to return home and flagged him down from the neighbors yard. She calmly told my father that she would never ever set foot in that house again and nor would my sister. I can only imagine what and how my father must have felt and reacted to this. Knowing my mother as he did he knew that what she said about never setting foot ever again in that home was cast in stone. She never did. Dad had to find a home with "no history" to it. The went to motel that night and within a few days found a rental home and moved in for a few months until they purchased a new home.
Never again in the next 40 years did anything ever occur that was not logical or strange. It's only because I knew my mother and how this could not be something imaginary that I have absolute faith that what she claimed she saw was not a flight of fancy or anything other than an actual real experience. She passed away in 2000 suddenly from pancreatic cancer. Never once in all her years did she ever have any doubt about what she experienced. My sister, much like my mother, is a no bs hard driving business owner not given to anything other than cold clear reality. 20 years later she had an experience that impacted her as much as it did my mother....but that's another story for another time. I miss you mom !
I suspect your mother was actually sleeping when she saw the vision in the mirror, but thought she was really awake! Similar things have happened to me!!!🤔
I have 4 older sisters. I told my one sister when i was about 10 " I heard a woman crying in our room." I was shocked when she said " oh her, we've all heard her." OK then.
@@StanZ-i6wso rude and stupid of you to say. Skeptics will grasp at anything lol. Did you not catch the part about her reading at the time it happened?? Not asleep.
@@StanZ-i6w me too
@@orangemascara Sure did!
This was one of my favorite programs back when I was a kid.I loved it great show.Like to see more of it.Thank you for this show
Very good episode I really enjoyed a lot but I was thinking maybe they should’ve stayed in the house because the Ghost s Friendly and they won’t hurt nobody that’s a really cool house to live in
Yes, once I got over my initial fright I would have loved those little ghost girls and hugged them back.
yes it's true, I used to liVe in a Very friendly loVing home like that once but the owners moVed back in so we had to leaVe sadly , still think about that house. best house I eVer liVed in ; )
@@sarasmith5110 liVed in a house like this and the house used to like us being there : ) I loVed it there
I was kinda thinking the same thing too. But then I thought that maybe its good that they left because there would be a chance to give many more families healings from that room and 3 spiritual beings.
This series is new to me, and a great rewarding surprise.
Song: "Not intelligent people." Priceless!!
I am not old enough to remember but this is new to me I seen all the old twilight zones episodes this is way cool.
I'd know that voice anywhere..'Master/Kung Fu..wonderful actor...
Thanks I was trying to recognize him yes on kong fu.
Korean-American character actor Philip Ahn
Yes, an instantly recognisable, unique face. Great actor, too. I'm glad I saw him in this. Although I doubt whether aunt Minah/Minna would have taken too kindly to being (gently) lectured in how to treat her niece by her servant Song (when she's starting up the stairs).
Thank you for his name, he really was
@@drcurv I noticed that, too! She was a very caring woman, not easily offended, I think.
The picture is so clear. Thank you so much.😌
