    Lights Out - "We Dug It Up" (Old Time Radio, 1943)
    11 Nov 2026
    Lights Out presents “We Dug It Up,” originally broadcast February 9, 1943. Also listed in established episode logs as “He Dug It Up,” this Arch Oboler-written, produced, and directed CBS broadcast is commonly identified as episode 290.

    In pre-war London, an elderly gardener makes an extraordinary discovery beneath his backyard: an ancient stone sarcophagus connected with Sekhmet, the lion-headed Egyptian goddess. What begins as a quiet bit of digging becomes an unsettling encounter with something far older than the garden in which it was found.

    Old Time Retro Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
