In the third episode of Rod Serling's Night Gallery, titled "The House/Certain Shadows on the Wall," viewers are taken on two chilling journeys into the realm of the supernatural.

First up is "The House," a story about a young couple who are given the opportunity to move into a beautiful, spacious mansion rent-free. Despite warnings from the local townsfolk, the couple decides to take up residency in the house.

However, as the days go by, strange occurrences begin to happen. Doors slam shut on their own, disembodied whispers are heard in the night, and furniture moves by itself. The couple soon realizes that they are not alone in the house and that something evil is lurking in the shadows.

As tensions rise and the couple becomes more and more fearful for their lives, they must make a harrowing decision in order to save themselves from the malevolent force that resides within the walls of their home.

In the second half of the episode, "Certain Shadows on the Wall," viewers are introduced to a young woman named Ellen who has just inherited her family's grand estate after the passing of her father and brother.

Ellen is thrilled to be the new owner of the estate, but she soon discovers that all is not as it seems. As she spends time in the old mansion, she begins to notice strange shadows on the wall that seem to be moving of their own accord.

Initially thinking that it's just her imagination, Ellen soon realizes that the shadows are real and that they have a sinister agenda. Desperate to uncover the truth behind the shadows and the strange occurrences in the house, Ellen embarks on a journey of terror and self-discovery that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.

With spine-tingling performances from the cast and masterful storytelling from legendary creator Rod Serling, "The House/Certain Shadows on the Wall" is a must-watch episode for fans of supernatural suspense.
