Haunted Thrills #10 (1953)

In "Screams in the Swamp," a man and his wife settle into an old mansion near a murky swamp, where strange nights bring haunting calls from the water. As the whispers grow more insistent, he begins to suspect the voice is tied to a forgotten past—something buried deep in time and memory. The story unfolds with quiet dread, drawing him toward a truth he can’t escape.

In "Murder on the Moor," a condemned man breaks free on the eve of his execution, fleeing into a desolate moor where he takes refuge in a lone shack. There, he kills an old woman and her cat before vanishing into the mist-laden swamp, only to be haunted by the vengeful spirit of the cat he murdered.

In the storm-lashed night of 1953, a desperate eviction sets a chilling course when a landowner turns out an elderly woman, her daughter, and her infant grandson—only for the mother, long hidden in plain sight, to unleash a vengeance as old as the shadows. Written by an unknown hand and illustrated by the artist behind Haunted Thrills, this six-page tale from the horror-suspense anthology captures a moment of cruel injustice and the quiet, terrible power that follows.
