1952 radio prank in real Frankenstein castle
On Halloween night in 1952 a reporter from the Armed Forces Network was sent into the family crypt deep under the Frankestein castle in Darmstadt, Germany, where a naughty prank (set up by the show’s producers) awaited him. It’s a six minute-long RealAudio clip, and well worth listening to.
I used be able to see the castle on a hill in the distance from my brother’s attic room window. It was gorgeous! Especially in thunderstorms.
