Help find the first, BOBBY

Folks out there, help me find the first BOBBY.

I was so sure that I saw the first BOBBY on the 1972 television series, "Ghost Story". But now I can't find BOBBY listed on the episodes list.

I know for certain there was an earlier BOBBY. Viewers write that the second Bobby in "Dead of Night" walks down the staircase holding a knife.

In the first BOBBY I remember, Bobby does not hold a knife. In fact there is only a split second view of his ghoulish face. He has sharp teeth and he has his hands raised about his head as if he were going to claw the mother. Clearly he is not holding a knife.

This first BOBBY I remember from the very early 70s. I am sure it is around 1972 or 73.

I need the help of older middle-aged people who were pre-teens or teens around 1972 and will remember BOBBY.

I purchased the 1977 "Dead of Night" dvd. I liked the "Bobby" segment. But now I am CERTAIN there was a FIRST 'Bobby' before this one. I was so sure it was in this ghost tv show. The first 'Bobby' I saw did not show Bobby's whole face coming up to the camera. In the first 'Bobby' I remember, there was just a brief flash of Bobby's face from about three feet away.

Is it the episode titled "Atler-Ego"? I just looked up the episode list here on IMDB and out of all of the episodes that have a description this is the only one that has a character named Bobby.
