It just goes to show that you don't need graphic "blood and guts" to scare the crap out of your audience. Many of the old black and white TV show and classic horror movies are far more terrifying than anything they come up with today! has anyone ever seen the cult classic horror movie "Carnival of Souls "? Perfect example
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams.
Wow, I don't remember this episode from 1959. This is so eerie in retrospect, this was aired before Kennedy was shot. John mentions how these were the saddest hours in American history. He could never have known that soon another terrible event would cause even more heartbreak and sadness. Thanks for posting this.
I believe that many people in power have been given a choice that would require to either continue a steadfast Christian commitment to truth but concomitant death or give in to the forces of evil! JFK knowing the outcome of his trip to Dallas still chose truth and love of America!
I was 18 when JFK was murdered in broad daylight. I thought he could have been out greatest President. I felt the same way about His brother RFK. How different the USA would be today if the Kennedy brothers had lived. PRAY!!!
I lot of people felt that strange feeling. Weird thing like this happened to my dad and I. About a month ago I was in my room and out of no where I got this awful feeling that came over me. A feeling of dread it scared me, I felt as though something was coming that would change everything. I went to the kitchen to tell my dad, he said I look pale and touched my hands that were ice cold. I told him about the bad feeling I had. He then confessed that in the morning he felt the same. Then he told me to go to my room and pray because the world was about to change.. our feeling came true when this whole Coronavirus happened and yes the world changed. I think President Lincoln felt that he was going to die just didn't know why and those people that felt it, felt that the country was about to change.
on the bright side of this pandemic, think of all the people with really bad teeth or folks with a hair lip, for the first time in their lives, due to everybody wearing masks, they can speak in public and meet strangers without being self conscious
Barry Atwater, who portrayed Lincoln in this episode was a busy character actor on TV appeared in Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Star Trek, Night Gallery and many other TV shows. His most famous role may have been as the Las Vegas vampire Janos Skorzeny in the TV movie The Night Stalker with Darren McGavin as Carl Kolchak.
John Newland was really a fantastic story teller, leading you into the stories as well as explaining all...plus that eerie music makes a perfect little good night story. ;)
Thanks for posting this. I loved this show once I discovered it when I was a little girl. Nice to see all the episodes I never saw as a child. This show use to scare the crap out of me with that haunting refrain.
Today is good Friday, I had forgotten about the holiday. For some reason I looked here for the one step beyond episode about Lincoln. When I realised what today meant ,as I was watching I began to cry uncontrollably. Even now this man, this towering figure can reach across the centuries to affect one man alone in his living room. A concidence? I don't know but it felt very, very real .
Perhaps Terri a good thrashing would help, although I do but it would do little good. What recounted happened. Lincoln was a giant whose story will endure, immortality being gift ed to him by the Gods
Your a sad kid.being vicious anonymous may show a general lack of character. My experience with this video was very real and did occur. If you either through inclination or personal experience has left you hostile to it, I really don't have anything to say. Atheists and the like are in such denied that absolutely no proofs can sway them. At this point t in my life all I have to offer such skeptics is what they have in their lives already.....nothing.
+Alphonsus Padavano remember,, when you best a fool, you win nothing.. So just ignore the idiot..Carry on sir, I like your style... I think Lincoln was a great man too, but I'm only 60, what do I know...
Gordy threehorses your the one that needs help, your brain is so warped, and your filthy mouth is also. Some little boy teenager I imagine, because no adult would make those dumb comments why don't people like you stay the heck off you tube the world can do without you, Lincoln was a Great man something you will never ever be!
I always liked the eeriness of this show because it was based on supposedly actual events that occurred. I experienced an eery "OSB" happening myself one day -- Sept. 28, 1978 to be precise. I turned on the TV while I was doing chores around my small apartment when I heard the usual "we interrupt this program for a special report (or announcement)" and before I even went to look or hear the report I said out loud "the pope is dead" (Pope John Paul I). I just felt I knew that would be the announcement. I'd never heard or read he was a frail man or suspected he might be ill but I just "knew" he would be dead. I've always felt that was strange.
Lincoln had a dream a few days before his assassination; he awoke (in the dream) and heard weeping; he went downstairs and saw a catafalque, he asked a guard what had happened and was told the president was dead.
@@lordeden1475 people always have a answer for something that can explain because is accepted all their beliefs regarding the paranormal will be end. They are scare.
too busy telling them what horrible people everyone was up until just recently when the liberal progressive democrats took over the schools and liberal media.
@laura Silveria also. Yankee kids are too busy ducking the CONSTANT GUNFIRE to learn anything. Instead of always asking for more money and shorter hours. You should have lobbied for more informative curricula and MORE rigorous testing so that the killer robots you churned out. Actually knew something. You have churned out forty years of ignorant psychos who are proud of their ignorance. USA USA USA. you remember that the next time you buy something and the kid gives you the wrong change. You have just entered. The toilet zone
Very well done historical episode, similar to one about the sinking of the Titanic: THE NIGHT OF APRIL 14TH. Also check out THE DECISION which is about Gen. George Washington at Valley Forge.
Lincoln’s birthday was Feb. 12 and Washington’s Feb. 22- when I was young, we celebrated both days- now we have President’s Day, a combo of both dates!
this is the episode I was looking for.. There's another site that offers season 1 of the series, but not the episode I wanted to see. This one. Thanks so much for the upload.
Very, very good facts. Except, in the dream President Lincoln had, he walked down stairs, where a soldier was standing guard in the East Room. When Lincoln asked who was dead in the White House, the soldier replied "The President; he was assassinated tonight." The dinner party happened on 4 April 1865. It is true that Lincoln said to the doorkeeper at the WH, "Good-bye not his usual 'Good-night'. Also true was the ringing of the church bells. Lincoln died in the Petersen House on 15 April 1865 at 0722. Why was that room empty at such a fortuitous time? Because the previous tenant kept hearing 'sobbing & crying'. From a lover of history........
Trivia:Barry Atwater who plays President Lincoln on this episode of OSB guest starred on the Star Trek episode "The Savage Curtain." On that episode he plays the Vulcan Surak,who meets Abe Lincoln.
I thought so also i could hear that voice ironically He played the Vulcan Kurak with the other Lincoln character played by someone else. I so am glad you knew this too. You MUST BE a Star Trek fan, Yes ?
@@getvnews1918 Interesting comments. I have read many of these regarding this episode. I had rare feelings when watching different things having to do with his assassination. Last year my wife and I toured sites in Washington D.C. The place I looked forward to most was Ford Theater. A gentleman guided us through with many details. It was exceptional. As with Lincoln, the thoughts of JFK often surface too. I was 12 and in the 7th grade when JFK was assassinated. Like so many that lived through this my recall of that day is easily brought to mind. The mention of Star Trek has also caught my attention. I have seen these episodes and enjoyed them. Another Star Trek tie in with One Step Beyond: the Star Trek episode originally aired March 23rd 1967 was titled "Errand of Mercy" and it was directed by John Newland. It is one of my favorites from the original series. It has John Newland all over the program.
more trivia: if you remember the great tv movie "the Night Stalker" with Darren McGavin.....Barry Atwater played Janos Skorzeny, The Night Stalker monster himself ;p
I believe that Lincoln did see his death before he died I had an experience myself the real thing is there life after death the answer is yes there is believe it or not nice video thank you 👍🇺🇸
Very strange and moving. Lincoln was quite the character. He used to like to go out riding a horse evenings till someone took a shot at him, nocking his stove top hat off. The whitehouse had no secret service so they hired Pinkerton detective agency to give protection. They forbid him to go out riding after this incident or they would quit the job.
Thanks for the videos. One can learn a lot of things from these true stories. I remember the show Unsolved Mysteries once investigated Lincoln's murder and to my surprise the assassin got away and lived to be an old man, then confessed on his death bed. They never talk about the real reason why Lincoln was killed. I suggest you look into Green Backs! Incidentally the same exact reason (and scumbags) also murdered JF Kennedy!
Always wondered if Lincoln was of this world. He seemed to possess a otherworldly quality and insight,that defied logic. The immense pressure he must have been under.
Very similar sentiment I share. He is the person I most admire and been fortunate to visit most of his historical sites. I have yet to find flaws in him. What a wonderful man!
Lincoln really had this dream shortly before his murder. I have also read that JFK believed he would die young and his favorite poem was “I have a rendezvous with death”.
Hi. "Midnight" is not an episode of "One Step Beyond" even though it is mysteriously listed as such in episode guides and even though it is included in some public domain DVD sets. If you notice, John Newland is nowhere to be found during the episode and he does not direct it. "Midnight" is an episode of an old and very obscure 1950-51 TV series called "Stars over Hollywood". Why it is thought of as an episode of One Step Beyond, I do not know.
The Day the World Wept-The Lincoln Story, Season 2, Episode 21, aired 9 February 1960. John Newland as Himself-Host, Barry Atwater as President Abraham Lincoln, Jeanne Bates as Mary Todd Lincoln, Robert Carson (as Robert S. Carson) as Army Captain, Amy Douglass (as Amy Douglass) Mrs. Norcross, Watson Downs as Samuel, Jonathan Hole as Mr. Johnson-Landlord, Norman Leavitt as Noah, Thomas H. Middleton as Soldier, Theodore Newton as Minister Jonathan Stroom, Riza Royce as Ellen Stroom, Eric Sinclair as Secretary Hay, Justice Watson as Mr. Dayton.
I was born exactly one hundred years later -to -the -minute of President Lincolns assignation. I was born in a hospital in Lincoln Illinois, the streets intersection was Ford and Lincoln Ave
It's never good to dream of yourself in a coffin. This is actually true. If you dream of yourself in your coffin. Most people get signs before their death or near death
Would love to see Hollywood recreate ''One Step Beyond'' But in order for the series to work it would have to have the following qualities: 1.John Newland as the host...John taped several different intros, so that shouldn't be a problem. 2.The same original music sound track. 3.The same black and white film format, to retain the eerie atmosphere of the show. I believe the show would be a big hit. Are you listening Hollywood?
Black and White wouldn't work. There's simply too many people who wouldn't watch. Sad, but absolutely true. Leaving John Newland as the host would only be a gimmick. There's hosts out there who could, and should, take his place. Leaving the eerie music is a must. It adds much to the atmosphere of the show. The opening episode could be about the first responders who thought they heard the terrified mother pleading for help from the overturned car in that Utah river just a couple of years ago. Fact is, there's plenty of current paranormal stories they could cover, in addition to redoing some of these original scripts. Those are my thoughts regarding your idea.
I'm looking for the episode entitled Midnight. Do you have that uploaded, or do you plan to? Thank you for the time you invested to bring these shows to us. They're wonderful.
I remember reading that Lincoln had a dream where he heard people weeping. Then when he went to catafalque (look it up), he asked a soldier “Who is dead in the White House?”. The soldier responded “The president. He was killed by an assassin”.
'Moved 17 times...The remains of his son, William Wallace Lincoln, were also placed on the train. Mary Todd Lincoln and three of his four sons are also buried there. (Robert Todd Lincoln is buried in Arlington National Cemetery at Arlington, Virginia). Because of the length of the funeral, historians have called this event "The Greatest Funeral in the History of the United States". -Wikipedia
I have seen several documentaries on Lincoln that have all mentioned that dream he had, only in theirs he entered the room of people looking at the casket, and he asked, who had died, in the White House, and a man said, the president. Whichever way it was I do believe he had gotten a premonition dream. This is first I heard about the bell ringing by itself, and others having premonitions, but it's not to say that couldn't have happened. Some folks just don't realize what a powerful man of courage Lincoln was, and what a good heart he had, and that's what God looks at, your heart, and what you have, in it. God would give a forewarning to His child. And if he's killed God leaves a mark, to let you know He was there, and did not like it. Like John Wilkes Booth being shot, and died at the exact time that Lincoln had died, 7:22. That was no coincidence, that was God. Even Jesus when he died, on the cross, the curtain in the temple split open, showing that God in heaven did not like that, and Jesus arose the 3rd day. And when MLK, was killed, for the first time in all my living, in Memphis, it snowed for the first time in April. There was 4ft. of snow there, on April 4, 1968, and I saw that as God's hand.
Lincoln also had a dream about being adrift in a boat all alone .I believe his morbid dreams were the result of the bouts of depression he was said to suffer from
Lincoln had many dreams about the future. One that he told was that, in a dream, he found himself in front of a mirror, but there two images of himself instead of one! One was normal, but the second was a strange shadow image. He said he interpreted this to mean that he would serve 2 terms in the White House, but he would not finish the second!!!
OSB is about true or very nearly true stories. Twilight Zone is about anything spooky, true or not. Both good, but OSB has more amazement. Ghosts are real!
So sad the way Lincoln died as he was a great President. And booth hunted down like a dog He actually thought the people would applaude him but NO! People hated him. What a scene that must have been when Booth read the paper!
It was sad for sure but hardly the saddest in American history. Although, I am rather thinking of 9-11 and Kennedy (both the brothers) not to mention Dr. MLK Jr. But what about, say, Pearl Harbor? That came before this was made. The Depression? That was real sad. Anyway. Excellent. Incidentally I'm the 300th commenter :)
It’d be so cool if they had shows like this today on occasion. Anyone agree?
Definitely!!
It just goes to show that you don't need graphic "blood and guts" to scare the crap out of your audience.

Nothing today is anywhere near as good
Yes right

These were attacks on our country as much as Pearl Harbor and 9/11. Now we are being attacked from within through “weaponized politics.”
Thanks for all the comments. Glad everyone is enjoying the magnificent show.
My only issue is there not enough episodes. Not that there aren't enough, just that I've watched them all. Thank you for posting.
Interesting Lincoln was a differenf man i. 1861 tthan in 1865 . A more understanding man with great Wisdom
I lot of people felt that strange feeling. Weird thing like this happened to my dad and I. About a month ago I was in my room and out of no where I got this awful feeling that came over me.

@@Imtheverdant1 that's not a bright side compared to the death toll covid has brought. Making light of it only helps keep it around longer.
This is one of my favorite episodes I have watched this at least 50 plus times over numerous years

I don't know why but this show and "The Twilight Zone" I felt was beyond the years of the future.

Good stuff bro.
Oldies are the best.
Thank You so much for uploading this rare (and hard to find) episode of 'One Step Beyond. I have been searching for it for years.
I learned this story about Lincoln having this dream in school around 1970. I wounder if they tell kids that same story today? Something tells me NO.
Strange ..
too busy telling them what horrible people everyone was up until just recently when the liberal progressive democrats took over the schools and liberal media.

Also check out THE DECISION which is about Gen. George Washington at Valley Forge.
The episode 'Earthquake' about the 1906 San Francisco earthquake is pretty amazing, too.
Awesome episode aired originally on February 9,1960,Alcoa Presents,very good to view once again.Thank you!

In Lincon's dream, the body in the coffin was not his (Lincoln's).
Your awareness of these facts are very spot on. Well done.
Machine Gun Nest and Robert Todd Lincoln was in attendance due in part to his life being saved by John Wilkes Booth brother Edwin.
I hope he is walking the halls and haunting the White House right now. Some people need a reminder.

William Smith were not alone. 😇I'm too self absorbed to notice until it's too late.😩
He was a great man and wished he had been around longer.
His name is Abraham, this has spiritual significance.

I used to watch the show when I was up in & it scared the hell out of me. The about Lincoln was really frightening.
Lincoln really had this dream shortly before his murder. I have also read that JFK believed he would die young and his favorite poem was “I have a rendezvous with death”.
Both my mom and me held a fascination of Honest Abe.

Bob Anderson Hi Bob. I agree with you completely, except you forgot #4... it has to be 1959 again. That, my friend, made it magic!
Sadly Bob, they are not listening, it's all about blood and guts now, sadly.
Black and White wouldn't work. There's simply too many people who wouldn't watch. Sad, but absolutely true. Leaving John Newland as the host would only be a gimmick. There's hosts out there who could, and should, take his place. Leaving the eerie music is a must. It adds much to the atmosphere of the show. The opening episode could be about the first responders who thought they heard the terrified mother pleading for help from the overturned car in that Utah river just a couple of years ago. Fact is, there's plenty of current paranormal stories they could cover, in addition to redoing some of these original scripts. Those are my thoughts regarding your idea.
I agree with you, Colin.
This is a true story. Lincoln really had this dream. He had several dreams about his death.
When the truth becomes a legend; print the legend.
Well done
"So, beside's that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
"I thought it was boring , but Abe got a bang out of it ! "
I'm looking for the episode entitled Midnight. Do you have that uploaded, or do you plan to? Thank you for the time you invested to bring these shows to us. They're wonderful.
The actor portraying Lincoln is very good & looks much like Honest Abe.
Yes , Lincoln had premonition of his death.
good one, esp the host
The dream sequence was freakey.😮
I remember reading that Lincoln had a dream where he heard people weeping. Then when he went to catafalque (look it up), he asked a soldier “Who is dead in the White House?”. The soldier responded “The president. He was killed by an assassin”.
A Penny for your thoughts!!!
No one got your idea.
I am looking for this episode on high-quality DVD and 16mm film. If anyone has it, let me know. Thanks.
'Moved 17 times...The remains of his son, William Wallace Lincoln, were also placed on the train. Mary Todd Lincoln and three of his four sons are also buried there. (Robert Todd Lincoln is buried in Arlington National Cemetery at Arlington, Virginia). Because of the length of the funeral, historians have called this event "The Greatest Funeral in the History of the United States".
-Wikipedia
And Polly Pozookacheeka is buried there with her mice and ants..🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜👽👽👽👾🤖🤯🤡🤡🍼🍼👶👶😷🐁🐀🐁🐀
I'd heard that Lincoln had a premonition of his own death. This episode reminds me of the one about the Titanic.
wow
I have seen several documentaries on Lincoln that have all mentioned that dream he had, only in theirs he entered the room of people looking at the casket, and he asked, who had died, in the White House, and a man said, the president. Whichever way it was I do believe he had gotten a premonition dream. This is first I heard about the bell ringing by itself, and others having premonitions, but it's not to say that couldn't have happened. Some folks just don't realize what a powerful man of courage Lincoln was, and what a good heart he had, and that's what God looks at, your heart, and what you have, in it. God would give a forewarning to His child. And if he's killed God leaves a mark, to let you know He was there, and did not like it. Like John Wilkes Booth being shot, and died at the exact time that Lincoln had died, 7:22. That was no coincidence, that was God. Even Jesus when he died, on the cross, the curtain in the temple split open, showing that God in heaven did not like that, and Jesus arose the 3rd day. And when MLK, was killed, for the first time in all my living, in Memphis, it snowed for the first time in April. There was 4ft. of snow there, on April 4, 1968, and I saw that as God's hand.
Lincoln also had a dream about being adrift in a boat all alone .I believe his morbid dreams were the result of the bouts of depression he was said to suffer from
CZcams has episode of Ive Got a Secret with man who witnessed the assassination.
I saw that. He was around 4 yo at the time, with a great memory for details.
Sad
Interesting as this was made before the JFK assassination.
Lincoln had many dreams about the future. One that he told was that, in a dream, he found himself in front of a mirror, but there two images of himself instead of one! One was normal, but the second was a strange shadow image. He said he interpreted this to mean that he would serve 2 terms in the White House, but he would not finish the second!!!
Awsome episode.Can anyone tell me the name of the episode where the guy gets stuck in an elavator?
Alan the villa, also on YT
Yeah, North Carolina boo, my home State sweet pea!
Yea... that was pretty sad... never saw this one
Your welcome!
You’re Welcome.
There’s a book titled something like “spiritual politics” which includes Lincoln’s premonition.
This actor is a great Lincoln. Looks are uncanny and it was said Lincoln had a distinct voice. So does the guy. G to his was well done!
'The Twilight Zone' is very well known and has cult followers but I think 'One Step Beyond' was better - This episode is a good example
OSB is about true or very nearly true stories. Twilight Zone is about anything spooky, true or not. Both good, but OSB has more amazement. Ghosts are real!
It was this show that made me take notice my initials are JWB
As far as honest abe is concerned what went around came around. Funny how things have an uncanny way of equalling themselves out.
So sad the way Lincoln died as he was a great President. And booth hunted down like a dog He actually thought the people would applaude him but NO! People hated him. What a scene that must have been when Booth read the paper!
It was sad for sure but hardly the saddest in American history. Although, I am rather thinking of 9-11 and Kennedy (both the brothers) not to mention Dr. MLK Jr. But what about, say, Pearl Harbor? That came before this was made. The Depression? That was real sad. Anyway. Excellent. Incidentally I'm the 300th commenter :)
