One of the best, non-conspiracy episode made. Loved it! The delving into Mulder and Scully's psyche by the ghosts was classic!

This review is from: The X-Files Season 6 (Amazon Instant Video)
I watch this episode every Christmas (And sometimes Halloween!) because it's such a classic. It wasn't on this year, though, and it was aged off my Tivo, so I decided to buy it from Amazon. Good quality, easy to transfer to my Tivo.

I think Mark Snow's music in this episode is really what makes it. I especially love the harpsichord creepily playing the first few notes of Bing Crosby's "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" when they pry up the floorboards, a VERY subtle musical callback to the song that's playing when they pull up in their cars at the very beginning of the episode. Listen for it :)
