Descended from Austrian aristocracy, popular Hollywood actress, Elissa Landi was level-headed and not known for hyperbole. When this article was published in MODERN SCREEN's October 1932 issue people nevertheless had to wonder.
At the time of the incident described in the story, Landi was playing on the London stage in THE CONSTANT NYMPH. One warm evening, she and her husband-to-be John Lawrence went for a drive to get some air and at one point, stopped off the road and parked near what looked like a deserted house. What happened next can only be described as a ghostly encounter. As with any tale of this type, you be the judge if it was real or not!
