The Legend Of Paddy - A Ghost Story

Before there was The Twilight Zone, before there was The Outer Limits, there was this short lived show that focused on the supernatural. Claiming that the stories were based on real events (they didn't have the internet back then, so no one could Google and see that the stories were all made up), host John Newland tried to give you the adult, tv version of a campfire ghost story each week. The only thing missing was the flashlight in his face (the spot light didn't quite have the same feel) and the fire itself.

In the episode The Last Round (starring Charles Bronson), a boxer that lost his license in America goes over seas to fight in England. There, he learns of Old Paddy, the ghost of a great boxer that heralds the death of boxers.

There are several episodes available at HoughsVideos.50Megs.Com

John Newland used to scare the crap out of me when I was little, the way he'd pop out at the end with his creepy postscript.

Very cool. I used to watch this show with my dad when I was younger. Never saw this one though, so as a fan of the show and Bronson its a real treat.
