Ghost Stories - 2017 - 6/10

Muckraking reporter who exposes psychics, spiritualists, whatnot, receives summons from his inspiration, an older man who likewise derided frauds and phonies.
“I have three unsolved cases that make me wonder. Had I been wrong? Is there a supernatural sphere?”
Three investigations, three stories. Each quiet, almost prosaic, though each carries chills.
I watch, not bored, but hardly engaged.
Until, one of the case characters tears the fabric of the structure.
That caught me off guard and the story became inspired – for a bit.
Based on a play, which may explain why this is overly talky.
It also suffers “writing room syndrome,” being too timid and creative risks seem scotched by compromise.
