I heard this as a ghost story when I was in camp in the mid-50's. One of
those stories told by flashlight or campfire and designed to scare the pants
off young kids, only in our version he was coming to a camp.
It is amazing how things are transformed and absorbed into the culture- I
guess this is the folk process at work.
This has sparked some interest, if anyone has any Cohen stories or
camp/school/etc. ghost stories, please e-mail them to me (so we don't fill
up the digest)- I would like to collect them.
Thanks.

Thanks for the corrections on Kitzel;  was going to ask how he died in 1954
when there's a Benny TV program in March 1955 that I *know* he appeared in
(possibly prerecorded, I suppose).

Would it be possible to get a copy of the Variety obit?  And this goes for 
anyone with Benny articles that they feel ambitious enough to copy;  I'm 
always looking for new material, and welcome all donations.  Thanks!

When I said "folksy" I was groping for words.  On the radio program, his
narration is quite casual, like he's speaking extemporaneously, not
"announcing" so to speak.  I'm just wrapping up Isaac Asimov's
autobiography ([removed]) and he mentions Campbell a lot, even has a chapter
about him.  I've often wondered why, with all the great, good, and bad
sc-fi shows that were produced, why no one ever did a version of his (under
the psuedonym, Don A. Stuart) greatest story, "Who Goes There?" Maybe one
of the best sci-fi stories ever written by anybody, IMHO. It was the basis
for two movies named The Thing, but I don't recall it ever being done for
radio.  Pity.
