  • that was creepy even by to days standers

    it must been real scary in 1938

  • Actually, it was. In my third period Language Arts class, (6th Grade,)our teacher, Mrs. Whittemore, had the whole original War of the Worlds Radio airring. Because we didn't have enough time in class to listen to the whole thing, we listened to part of it. Mrs. Whittemore said it had a great effect on the listeners. They thought they were really being attacked by Martians. Even the President got scared (,I think). I even think the police pulled up at Orson Welle's door after the broadcast.
