This is without any doubt my favourite entry in the Ghost Story for Christmas series. The story is genius, a combination of folk law tale and sheer terror is fantastic. Some really nice touches throughout like the coughing and the train guard convinced he'd seen a figure. Peter Vaughan is wonderful as the determined archaeologist Paxton, you get to see his character truly tormented by the ghostly figure. It shows that horror can be delivered in such a way that doesn't need to be graphic, subtle horror can be equally as chilling.
The Stalls of Barchester is a very good, very solid opener, this time they pulled out all the stops, A Warning to the curious is a master stroke, a fabulous, subtle piece of horror.
The moral of the story, be careful what you dig for. 10/10
