Well first off, don't worry about it being similar to that story. For one, most stories resemble another, and two, that story is a classic. There was plenty about your story that was different, so I wouldn't let that bring you down. As for your questions on how to alter it, I would agree with what you've already suggested. Expand on his belief that the place is haunted and dial back on the indications of the situation. It seems like you get the drift of what I've said, so I think you'll be able to make the proper adjustments. You may want to get another review before you completely rehash it, but it's up to you. And I'll definitely be willing to take another look at it when it's done, but don't be surprised if I tell you it needs a little something else. Take your time and hopefully I can give you the green light when it's completed. Good luck.
