When four people disappear without a trace, it falls to Barnaby and Jones to find out what happened in "Talking to the Dead," from season 11.
This episode combines drama and humor as Barnaby and Jones go to the village of Monks Barton to investigate. They meet a womanizing postman, a man who sees dead people, a fire and brimstone preacher, a traumatized individual who babbles, and learn about the strange lights and sounds coming from the haunted woods. A massacre of monks once took place there, and the monks have been haunting the place ever since.
The missing soon start turning up...as corpses.
Really good episode with some good humor as well as mystery. The best scene is probably when Barnaby accidentally closes Jones into an iron maiden. When he gets him out, all Jones says over and over is, "You shut the DOOR!" And though Barnaby doesn't believe in any of this ghost stuff, his wife Joyce has an "open mind" as she says, and one can tell that Jones is somewhat nervous in the woods.
Excellent mystery. Wish this particular writer (David Harsent) did all of the scripts.
