Spooky! The only thing I would really change is just that I wish it were longer. I listened to the BBC's rendition and they did an excellent job at portraying the atmosphere, the tense family discussions, and the general confusion and distress the situation at hand caused. Excellent story all around, the subtle things and the foreshadowing were all wonderful and despair inducing.
