It was called JOURNEY TO THE UNKNOWN and one segment contained a really scary seance concerning an Indian ghost. It was great. The series was short-lived, but it scared me. It's one of those gems I look for on DVD.  I'm surprised that the writer didn't mention the great seance in THE UNINVITED.But, speaking of great seances, i have to defer to an episode from a TV series from the early 70s.
