I like the premise of this one a lot; a fake medium who when trapped overnight after a seance, is contacted by a real ghost. I really liked the 'bottle episode' style of this one. I felt stuck in the seminary with the lead and felt some moments of real fear when reading. I really enjoyed the use of silence and freezing as a reaction from the lead, who I was rooting for.
