While the set-up is fairly convincing, the direction tight and everything else very professional, the story has fatal shortcomings.
One of the cardinal sins of writing is to not stick to your own rules you've set up, and this episode does just this. It makes sense for ghosts to come and seek closure of some sort to dissolve and find peace (I suppose), but why exactly did a living human dissolve into dust? Was he secretly a ghost or what?
Also, if ghosts are "basically electro-magnetic fields" (oh well, but whatever), how do they have voices that can be heard? How can they pound and shake the doors?
Don't get me wrong - I love me some nice ghost stories, but if you set up some rules only to break them, you've lost me.
