| Summary |
"The Radio Ghost" by Otis Adelbert Kline is a thrilling scientific fiction novel written during the early 20th century. The book explores the intriguing intersection of radio technology and the supernatural, as it delves into the themes of psychic phenomena, ghostly apparitions, and a mysterious inheritance. Through its imaginative narrative, the story educates readers on actual radio principles while crafting a gripping tale of suspense and mystery. The plot centers around a young woman named Greta Van Loan, who, after the death of her uncle, grapples with eerie disturbances in his Highland Park home. She enlists the help of Dr. Dorp and his colleague, Mr. Evans, as they investigate strange occurrences, including ghostly manifestations and inexplicable phenomena such as moving objects and icy breezes. As the investigation unfolds, they uncover a nefarious plot orchestrated by her cousin, Ernest Hegel, who uses advanced radio technology to manipulate the environment and create the illusion of ghostly hauntings. The novel culminates in a dramatic confrontation that unravels the mystery and reveals the truth behind the haunting—a tale that intertwines science and the supernatural in a captivating narrative.
