This is an interesting program. It is unique and the stairway is the kind of hook that gets me interested. As for the ending, it clearly does not go in the direction that you think it will, but it also doesn't take the kind of 90 degree turn that I hate when what happens at the end doesn't make sense with everything else that you have heard. A "straightforward story with a dash of skeletons thrown in." I pictured the uncle looking like Uncle Joe on Petticoat Junction. I encourage people to listen to this program and make their own conclusions about what happened at the end.
