The Night Wire by H F Arnold from Weird Tales Magazine

Well after midnight in a newsroom high up above the city, a strange story comes tip-tapping in down the night wire.

John Morgan, the night wire expert, turns the morse code into words and the words reveal a mystery. A town no one has heard of is brought to a standstill by a weird fog.

This weird fog rolls right out of the graveyard and in it are seen twisted wailing forms. But this tale is stranger even that that, and you'll have to listen to find out why.

This pulp story from 1926 was a favourite of HP Lovecraft. Even its author is an enigma. Or is he? The story inspired Stephen King to write The Mist in 1981 which was made into the 2007 movie of the same name.
