I remember seeing this TV adaptation as a child and being terrified by the presence of the ghost imagining that he was standing in my back garden when I went to bed. Plus I lived in the Norfolk countryside where MR James set the tale was set. The spookiest scene must be when Peter Vaughan is digging for the crown and we fleetingly see the ghost over his shoulder. Also the frightening moment when the ghost is in his room searching for the brown and his tubercular breathing is heard. The drama really does conjure up the bleakness of some of the Norfolk countryside and the fear of what might be waiting in those trees. I am a great lover of horror films but if I need to feel a real chill this always succeeds in producing the goods.
