The Plot…
In October 1977, Night Owls late night talk show host Jack Delroy’s contract was coming up for renewal. The show has had it’s ups and downs, but lately has been dropping in the ratings. Because Halloween falls during sweeps week, Delroy has a special episode planned.
On Halloween night, on Night Owls Jack Delroy will present live…
- Christou, a medium who claims he will communicate with the dead.
- June Ross-Mitchell and Lilly. Ross-Mitchell, a parapsychologist who wrote a best-seller about her work with Lilly who is reportedly possessed by a demon.
- Carmichael Haig, a former magician and professional debunker. Haig has offered $100,000 to anyone who can prove paranormal powers exist.
No one was prepared for what happened.
