Ghost Story (TV 1972) :01x03 - At The Cradle Foot

I remember those roundabouts. Lol. Trying to leap aboard as it violently spun round and if you missed...crazy games we played. Best of all ground was mixture of tarmac and concrete and in one's interest NOT to hit the deck!! Ah ha ha, health and safety??

This is so convoluted. Such fun!

Perhaps the lack of ghosts in this one led to the series being renamed.

People get so scared and wrapped up in fearing death, but once you truly understand that we are immortal spiritual beings in the middle of a temporary human experience here on this plane of existence (earth), than your view on everything changes. It's very liberating

If my surmises are correct, James Franciscus's mistake was going back into the past. If he had left well alone, his daughter in 20 years' time would be safe, whereas nothing would save her after the killing (self defence). Why? Because the girl would give birth to a son; he would learn of what happened to his father, & the identity of who shot him; then, what better way to exact revenge than to kill the killer's daughter. So, although Franciscus felt he were preventing his daughter's murder he was, in reality, bringing it about. The premonition was correct, but only if acted upon; which, unfortunately, for JF, he did & would pay the price in the future. I had already worked out earlier that the girl wouldn't need to 'marry' the guy to have a child, & clearly JF failed to realise this until she told him. In the final analysis, if JF had killed the girl he would have saved his daughter's life in the future, but surrendered his own life in the past in the process. A riveting story.

Meg Foster is beautiful and James Franciscus is handsome .

The working man's Gregory Sierra before the mothballing of Barney Miller.

Don't forget "The COURTSHIP of EDDIE'S FATHER" starring Bill Bixby and featuring Sabastian Cabot as Mr. French.

They still significantly changed the cause of fate. The last dreams did not have their daughter die. Of cause, the parents are going to fear the worst.

Meg foster and those gorgeous sky blue eyes...amazing.

Beautiful picture quality. Interesting but slow story, and the slow motion effects are just annoying.

Brown and yellow decor and giant brown cars. You know it's the 70's!

This was a good one

OOPS

This episode could have gone so many different ways.

This episode reminds me of a better written Sixth Sense episode, a poor stand-alone series tacked into Night Gallery. The paintings for the sixth sense were awesome, episodes??? Naaahhh!!

😩Daaaa-aaaady! Daaaa-aaaaady! 😂😂😂

Why don't they just leave the country permanently?

Awesomeness 😊 ! Was 8 years hold ,no tv in the canaries…..❤

Excelente final … assistia está série com minha tia as sextas feiras e não dormia depois … série maravilhosa !

Great one. Thanks for uploading. Ive enjoyed James Franciscus in italian giallo films as well.

😂I cant wait for the day someone in the future says $3,200 for a room boy those were the days😂😂😂

$12 a week breakfast included. I want to stay at a place like that

I am sitting and watching this movie. The rain is pouring down and I pray for thanks that this is Britain. It is Britain and may no one be allowed to take it from us.

There’s something about the horror that was made in the 70s everything was just so far out man 😂👍❤

I love watching these because they don't have commercials 😊

$12 a week….. oh man .😮

This episode's writer, Anthony lawrence, used a very similar premise from his much earlier script for the Outer Limits episode The Man Who Was Never Born, in which a man (coming from the future rather than the pesent) must prevent the birth of a man who will lead the world to widespread catastrophe.

Those actors or actresses were older than me at least by ten years up.

I started watching these expecting the series being similar to Twilight Zone or The Tales from the Crypt... What a disappointment.. Although playing with the supernatural and horror themes, they are either boring or plain stupid. The only reason why it's worth watching, at least for me, is that quintisential 70s vibe that the show manages to capture and transfer... Given that I love the 70s movies, TV and music, an era that gave us Dirty Harry, The Godfather, The Graduate, etc, even the feel of the decade that the Ghost Story gives us is worth watching.

12 dollars a week. Bring back those times 😅

I get offended when you act like a a fag, you get offended when I act like a redneck. we can not have it both ways one will live and one will die.

Creepy 🤐

I liked James Franciscus in Doc Elliot.

12$ a week??? OMG what a nightmare todays prices are 😮😢

James Farnsciscus and Larry Hagman have very similar voices. Same accents, tone of voice and speech patterns. Very interesting. I wonder if they were from the same place in the US.

Wow, what a cast. I wish there was more Jeremy Slate lines in this, though.

I am just enjoying a lot of these 70s and 80s shows.I worked the night shift most of my working life until I retired.I specialy like the TV movies from that era.Even though I have Netflix I hardly ever watch anything on there same goes for cable.

Karen's voice sounds exactly like Kate Jackson

SPOILER:



i like how they're just like "ah f**k it, she's not our kid" and just abandon the girl in his vision that was about to be shot \o/

I see London, I see France…. That little girl’s dresses are short. 😲

I Think this was the take off for his show"The 6th Sense" ,He had the Same kind of powers,Haven't seen it since the early 70's

I think this one got a little ridiculous.

Now, I understand why some people kill others for apparently no reason. Sick mind!

Just don't have your daughter at that location on that day she was shot in your dream

I think it's his own son who kills his daughter in his dreams

I liked Meg Foster in Leviathan.

Foxy here.we girl goin daddy . daddy doin my head in but good we film ❤
