33: 487: 423:, which he felt didn't make Mistress Mothersole an effective villain, as a result of both his and adaptor David Rudkin's sympathy for witch trial victims; "We know so much about the hysteria of the witch trials and the ignorance and downright evil that fueled them that it was well-nigh impossible to portray her as James intended. Although, even he makes her a complicated character, hinting that she was popular with local farmers and the pagan fertility aspects that this implies. Frankly, I don't think the script quite did justice to the story, and maybe someone else should have a go at it." 362: 32: 2070:: "Of Clark's many adaptations of James's stories, this is perhaps the most varied in its use of landscape and the most visually arresting in its attempt to create an otherworldly atmosphere. ...

416:, Clark recalls John Bowen's script "took some liberties with the story—which made it for the better I think...It's really quite a funny story until it gets nasty, although the threat is always there. James has a mordant sense of humour, and it's good to translate that into cinematic terms when you can. I'd always wanted to do a medium scene, and John came up with a beauty." 382:. As a result, the cameraman John McGlashan, who filmed the first five adaptations, was able to make use of night shoots and dark, shadowy interiors, which would not have been possible with the then-standard video-based studio interiors. Clark notes that McGlashan, and the sound recordist Dick Manton's contribution to the series "was every bit as great as mine, 390:, but mainly because they want to keep faith with the notion of a ghost story in its literary rather than cinematic tradition."

The image is the title screen of the adaptation of "The Signalman". A lone traveller, wearing black Victorian travelling garments and silhouetted so that he cannot be identified, treads across green fields pockmarked by molehills. He is walking towards the camera. A slightly muggy, cloudy atmosphere pervades the image. The strand title "A Ghost Story" is superimposed over this in bold, white capital letters.
