The Ghost in Your Television

Hello D-

 I'm sorry it's been so long between posts. The hurricane was much worse than anyone could have know, and then my grandfather passed away, and then the holidays...it's been a little bit of a tough month... But I am back!

And I have something wonderful to share with you!

 I thought you might find this kind of inspirational and/or interesting and/or woah there.

 The first television show broadcast by W2XAB in New York City (Owned by CBS) was called The Television Ghost.
Essentially each ghost would tell the tale of their murder. But it was just a tight close-up of an actor George Kelting, his face painted white with a towel over his head. Each episode was 15 minutes long. 

No recording of the show was ever made, the only thing that remains are photos and the radio version of the show, which went out on WABC.

 It's thought to be one of the first dramatic television shows in the world. 

A ghost in the machine D.

 Sometimes I think my body is a machine and my mind is a ghost.

Also, is thinking like reading your own mind?

Nice to talk to you again,

 Vi
