This episode was styled very well. It played with lighting in a very interesting way and made all the shots have a particular ambience that isn't usually used in horror. It used this ambience to help tell the story quickly, showing the audience what the mood is instead of having the writing or the acting tell us directly. I think this stylistic choice also helped subvert the scary ghost trope adding much needed depth a typical haunting story.
In terms of the writing, I enjoyed the quick character development and how the story wraps up in the end is very satisfying! American Horror Stories is feeling more and more like classic Twilight Zone episodes as the show goes on, which has been difficult for other shows to achieve.
