Goofs
At 8 minutes Jean, David, and Mr. Foster are in the Dining Room. As Jean says "Didn't you feel any wind Mr. Foster" a dark shadow moves across the top of the window. Since ghosts, including Patrick, do not cast a shadow, the shadow is obviously from the movement of equipment.

Quotes
[last lines]
Police Constable: Inspector, there were two bodies found, one was Mr Linton, the other identified as Mrs Stockley from the village.
Police Inspector: Mrs Linton, do you know Mrs Stockley ?
[Jean nods]
Police Inspector: However did the fire start, it must have been lightening.
Jean Linton: [nods in agreement, knowingly] Lightening, yes, lightening.

Enjoyable

Supernatural thriller. A woman inherits an old country house from her late aunt, and moves in with her wastrel husband. He soon begins an affair with a local woman, and before long he's plotting to murder his wife. But the resident ghost has other ideas...

Tony Wright and Patricia Dainton are good as the husband and wife, whilst Sandra Dorne is perfectly cast as the local trash he takes up with (she seemed to specialise in these sorts of roles). Nice to see popular character actor Sam Kydd as the local property developer interested in buying the house. Pretty enjoyable. 6/10.
