Ghost of Albert Landers

On their way to Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans, Chris and Doris’ car stalled during a storm. Finding a stately, abandoned mansion, the pair settle in to wait until the engine dries out. The ghost of Albert Landers appears, revealing he was murdered by his former partner, Richard Wilson. The ghost points out a loose brick in the fireplace, which hides a diamond necklace and an envelope. The necklace is worth $50,000 in Chris’s estimation. The ghost tells Chris and Doris to take the evidence to the police. Chris goes to Richard Wilson instead, to extort money from the man. The ghost of Albert Landers shows up, killing Wilson by giving him heart failure. Wilson knocks an oil lamp as he passes, starting a fire. Albert’s ghost lets the couple burn to death, forcing the door locked. The ghost of Albert Landers is incorporeal and cannot be physically harmed. He can appear invisible or translucent. He fires a deadly bolt from his fingers, manipulates locks, and induces fear in observers. He has a supernatural sense of events when he is seemingly not present.
