"Ghost stories. Weird stories. And murders too! The Hermit knows of them all. Turn out your lights. Turn them out! Ahhhh." And with that line so began another adventure as told by the cackling hermit. The Hermit's Cave originated on station WJR in Detroit, Michigan in 1935 (according to one source) and was recorded for syndication.
Actors to play the Hermit during its Detroit stay included John Kent, Charles Penman, Toby Grimmer, and Klock Ryder.
The series moved production to station KMPC in Los Angeles in 1940. Produced by William Conrad, the Hermit would be played for the first two years by Mel Johnson, with John Dehner taking the role in 1942.
