What happens

The Ghost of Sierra de Cobre is a 1964 American made-for-television horror–thriller film starring Martin Landau, Judith Anderson and Diane Baker. It was written, produced and directed by Joseph Stefano, author of the screenplay for Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 thriller Psycho, and he cast actors who had been in Hitchcock's films. Landau was in North by Northwest (1959), Anderson was in Rebecca, and Baker was in Marnie (1964). Four of the cast members appeared in episodes of The Outer Limits during Stefano's Season 1 tenure: Landau, Burt, Stone, and Morrill. The film was a pilot for a proposed supernatural anthology series for CBS called The Haunted. The series was not picked up after CBS president James T. Aubrey left but some additional footage was filmed and it was released as a standalone film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
