"Couldn't you find a postman who still delivers?" That's a good line!

"Inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened. " Personally, I stopped mentally aging at 25.....loved this episode!

Welcome to the class of '39'. I will have been 39 since 1993

[@pamlyles8905]

Same here, I will bet that I am probably the same age as you are. 39

[@miapdx503]

I had a lot of head trauma as a teenager, and though I'm 60 years old, my brain sometimes slips into teenage mode. I even get pimples. I use to be frustrated a lot, now I just roll with it. So if you see me in public, giggling and looking silly...don't judge.

[@jeantoliver4370]

Yep, 25 was my cut off, too.

Extremely adorable episode and the couple is so charming.

[@HTNPSullivan]

I've been watching this series on KZbin for a couple of months, and I have to say this episode was a fun surprise. Made me laugh outloud a couple of times. I love all the characters, especially the well-meaning friend of Otto's. Very sweet story. Surprised to see this video was posted in 2012 and here we are, still finding and enjoying it.

[@rafaelramirez1507]

I love your comment 👌🏻😊

[@mtsula]

1st time Ive seen a show where no one is afraid of the paranormal happenings. They treated this situation as if it happens everyday to them. No fear, just puzzlement.

[@feliciabeal1739]

This episode is so adorable it's worthy of my first KZbin comment...like ever. Now, for the last 5 minutes....

[@holdupfareal8353]

This was absolutely delightful. 😍 I love love and I was pleased that old fart of a friend of Otto’s finally stopped discouraging him from pursuing a life with Elsa. Misery loves company they say. In the end, he couldn’t resist the force of their love for each other. Brilliant! Bravo!

This is a sweet and funny episode. I've seen Sig Ruman in a million old films. It's good to see him here.

[@OliviaAnciso]

This was my first time to watch this episode and I have to say it was my Favorite One of all! Great cast portraying the story! John Beal aged quite well in this episode. He has those adorable expressions!

[@johnnypastrana6727]

A beautiful love story...a change of style for OSB...ha ha nice. 💗

[@Lolabelle59]

Delightful episode. Sig Ruman (Nothing Sacred, The Fortune Cookie) plays the Uncle. I doubt any other tv shows at the time had "sexual problems" in their dialogue.

Great decade of these types of series. Very much as a play.

[@steveneidhardt3128]

Best episode I've seen yet. Funny, I forgot all about the poltergeist, even the name of the show. The theme to me is an old one," All you need is Love"...

[@sincerelyyours7538]

We should all be so lucky. As John Newland says in the end, it's a nice story, isn't it.

[@reelgirl8544]

My widowed 82 year old mother has found love again. And here I thought the reason behind all those pots and pans hurtling around their place was because they couldn't get along.

[@gr8teagazr122]

Indeed- it's a very nice story. Of course, they might as well dance to the music. Perhaps that's why the ghost kept playing it!

[@patriciahayes7315]

Very cute story! It's fun that Otto, Elsa, and Josef were not really frightened by the flying objects, and that nothing happened while Otto was seeing Dr. Sesselschreiber in her consultation room. I think Otto's unconscious self was behind the poltergeist-like activity, which would make him telekinetically inclined. As for the production values they were quite good, although you knew the book and the bust were being lifted by oogie wires and that the 1890s clothing and hairstyles were being seen through an early 1960s fashion lens.

[@bradstevens5264]

A great true love story.

[@mlp4apc]

This was a humorous episode. It also had a happy ending. I would like to know if their life continued in this fashion or if the poltergeist episodes lessened.

[@rafaelramirez1507]

Legend has it that it is still continuing to this day , so much that their children's children think of it as a normal occurrence 😊❤

[@tracymcardle1236]

I love this programme it is wonderful, " inside an old person is a young person wondering what happened" I know Ive stopped at 20 years old, just joking. But its true your as old as you feel🙏🙂🙂

"Couldn't you have contacted a more active postman. I mean someone still delivering." -- Sounds like a double, double entendre to me.

A big difference in age there, but love is love which worked for them.

[@barbararemsen4768]

A fun episode. I believe poltergeist cases are more likely psychosokinetic energy than an actual ghost, but who knows? This was too nice a story to overanalyze too much.

[@christinegelabert1651]

YES! Some of these episodes you can't even hear them! I wish the content creator would listen to them first in comparison to the other episodes and raise the volume before putting out the video onto KZbin. A very slim majority actually very loud, but those are the rare exception. Most of within the normal range, but this quite a few that you honestly can't hear. I've had to just skip to the next one until I can find something I can hear and that's disappointing because I become very addicted unless 2 weeks to this channel

[@elysilk4538]

At 70+, this postman might only ring once.

[@ChristienahRobertsonTravis]

That might not have been a poltergeist at all. It was most likely that the retired man was telekinetic. Things like that and pyrokinesis and electrokinesis tend to act up when the person is feeling high, intense emotions. He simply loves her more than he can contain. Before her, he didn't have anything to be emotional about. Not like that. It was him.

[@mikearneson3108]

This is a cute story but most of the time poltergeists are no joking matter. They can be very frightening and destructive. I don’t know if they’re ghosts or not but I do believe they are frighteningly real!
