His daughter is convinced of her fiancée's innocence and tries to clear his name and unmask the reaI villain and is aided by secret messages...from her dead father. Or are they? WHlSPERlNG SHADOWS, a very rare occuIt creeper, can now be seen by the pubIic for the first time since its release in 1921. It is presented here in a new digitaI scan with an eerie and atmospheric new theatre organ score by Andrew E. Simpson.
