In his remote country house Jonathan Maltravers is recovering from an ulcer with the help of his much younger wife Susan. When one of the staff finds his body under an oak tree, Susan swears that a ghost who haunts the tree is responsible. Poirot and Hastings are staying at a nearby hotel working on another case. Called to Marsdon Manor, Poirot soon deduces that Maltravers did not die of natural or supernatural causes. (iTunes)

Great episode that will captivate mainly with its horror atmosphere. It simply succeeded and it remains properly dark until the end. Even though you suspect that everything has a completely realistic basis, you still can't help but start thinking that the ghosts are real and that there is something to the haunting. It simultaneously maintains Poirot's humor.
