Question
Hello!
Trying to find the title of a horror movie that was on TV probably in the early 70's. From what I remember it takes place somewhere in the East maybe MA or CT...It's about a couple who buy an old house that is hauted by the previous owner who was accused of stealing a loaf of bread and  was burned at the stake (she may have been accused of being a witch also). The wife is pregnant in the movie and is tormented by this womans spirit. Don't want to give away the ending, but it involves the wife calling the husband in a panic at work about this spirit and him trying to make it home, but the bridge to their house has washed out. I was fairly young when I watched it, hence why I can't remember the title. It was the first horror film I saw and I have been in love with them ever since.
Thanks for your help!  

Answer
Hi, Sheila....

I swear, this sounds so familiar it's driving me crazy. That being said, though, I havent' found it yet. I keep thinking it's "The Hauting of Melissa," but the loaf of bread thing cancels that out... can you tell me anything more about it? Actors, or what they looked like? Where you may have seen them since? Anything? Send me a follow-up and let me know...

I am a devout fan of horror films, from the Universal classics to the schlock of the 50`s, on through the 70`s to the splatter era, and straight up to "28 Days Later." Tom Savini films are an extra treat. Ask me about "Knightriders" if you don`t believe me. Anyone else own a copy of that classic?
