Synopsis

Whilst on the way to visit the town where Henry James lived, a chance encounter with a spiritualist on a train sends the Doctor and Romana on the trail of a ghost. It's the most convincing case of haunting he's ever heard of, he tells them. And so, on their arrival, does it appear to be.

Things go bump in the night at Malkin Place. The voice of a crying child. Birds bursting into flight. Strange movements in a seance.

The Doctor is determined there must be a rational explanation. But is science always the answer to everything?

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: Dethras


A lovely story which tackles grief and survivors' guilt in a nice way. It's got strong horror elements especially at the start, it feels like a proper ghost story. There's an excellent mystery running through aswell and I love the ending. Had I been in a different mood I would have definitely cried.

The supporting cast are really believable and are definitely the main focus of the story. There are some really tense scenes like the séance but also some really heartfelt ones. This is an excellent story with a lot of range and easily the best of Series 6 so far.
