What happens
Return to Glennascaul, subtitled A Story That Is Told in Dublin (alternate title: Orson Welles' Ghost Story), is a 1951 Irish short film starring Orson Welles. It was written and directed by Hilton Edwards, produced by Micheál Mac Liammóir for Dublin Gate Theatre Productions and distributed by Arthur Mayer. The plot is derived from the ubiquitous story of the vanishing hitchhiker. It is similar to Lucille Fletcher's original radio play, The Hitch-Hiker, which was first performed in 1941 on The Orson Welles Show starring Welles as the spooked driver. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
