"Young Man's Fancy" is episode 99 of the American television anthology series The Twilight Zone.
Opening narration
Plot Virginia and Alex, who are newly wed, return to the home of Alex's late mother where he grew up. The plan is to prepare the house for selling. He finds it emotionally difficult to leave the place, let alone sell it. In the house, Virginia is bothered by constant reminders that the mother, Henrietta, is somehow present in the house and vying for Alex's loyalty. Eventually Alex becomes so engrossed in his childhood memories that Henrietta reappears. Virginia accuses Henrietta of causing this, but Henrietta says it was not her doing. Alex, who has physically become a young boy again, says to Virginia, "Go away, lady. We don't need you anymore". Horrified, Virginia flees the house, leaving the regressed Alex behind with Henrietta's ghost.
