From The Haunting of Hill House creator Mike Flanagan and producer Trevor Macy comes THE HAUNTING OF BLY MANOR, the next highly anticipated chapter of The Haunting anthology series, set in 1980s England. After an au pair’s tragic death, Henry Wingrave (Henry Thomas) hires a young American nanny (Victoria Pedretti) to care for his orphaned niece and nephew (Amelie Bea Smith, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) who reside at Bly Manor with the estate’s chef Owen (Rahul Kohli), groundskeeper Jamie (Amelia Eve) and housekeeper, Mrs. Grose (T’Nia Miller). But all is not as it seems at the manor, and centuries of dark secrets of love and loss are waiting to be unearthed in this chilling gothic romance. At Bly Manor, dead doesn’t mean gone.
Producing partners Flanagan and Macy drew from the iconic supernatural stories of Henry James, to create the ensemble drama which also stars Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Kate Siegel, and Tahirah Sharif. The series is executive produced by Flanagan and Macy for Intrepid Pictures, along with Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey for Amblin Television.

How quickly did you binge Bly Manor and did you spot any other easter eggs?! 😱👻😨

[@John-oh8nq]

Not long

[@ChrisGeeReacts]

I watched One Episode a day, mainly because I did reactions to each episode. It took me about 4 to 5 hours to react,, edit and put on youtube

[@jpr3628]

9 hours I noticed Dani's eyes....one blue and one brown

i know :(

[@LuvThyMind29]

@@alej1778 What I think it was rather is that Jamie didn't tell the story entirely truthfully. I think the reality may be that the children were far less involved than Jamie led on. It's even possible that there was no haunting. The lady of the lake could represent mental illness that Dani suffered from.

Well yeah I figured that out when Dani was leaving floras room and behind her the child was moving the dolls in the dollhouse

[@mrs.booteh]

When Dani trips over the Viola doll on the floor, it might be foreshadowing but it means she is no longer in the lake and is out wandering. Hence why the kids lock Dani in the closet so that she doesnt get in Viola's way

[@MyMarsham]

That’s what they were doing. If you watch, after Dani picks the doll up, suddenly Flora is bolt upright staring at her, and then Miles appears behind. You see Flora look at Miles and give the very slightest nod, at which point he starts asking about the fan in the cupboard. So yeah, they knew the Lady was out walking, and stopped Dani getting in her way.

That's not foreshadowing. That just means that you understand what is shown after you know know what it means

Oh my god I need to rewatch this series. I completely missed it but in one of the last scenes where Jamie looks into the mirror hoping Dani will be next to her reflection, Jamie is actually wearing one of Dani’s shirts. There are so many tiny details that are hard to miss, especially with the foreshadowing.

[@jorat2410]

That’s genius!

[@QueenOfHearts666]

I thought she was locked in the closet because Miles and Flora protected her from leaving the room, since The Lady of the Lake was active that night - because she stumbled into the doll in the middle of the floor because TLOTL were making her way from the lake to the house

[@loiccooper5375]

Early in the series, Mrs. Grose lit 4 candles in the chapel "for the dead" but we only knew 3 people were dead, the parents and Ms. Jessel. She was already dead too.

i though it was charlotte had lit a candle to hanna's ex husband, Sam, so she just continued the tradition

[@TsumeAri]

@@isabelajann Part of me wondered if she kinda lights it subconsciously? The whole sequence in the kitchen is her coming to realize she IS dead and acknowledge it. That 4th candle might be the part of her that knows crying out in prayer for her own stuck soul. Her whole story was gutting.

[@xjayr6270]

Yeah the house itself is not enchanted

[@MsXxsleepforeverxX]

Yeah that’s right. We see doll face boy moving the dolls around

[@Evielicious]

No the dolls themselves move around. Because the house is always accurate, but the boy is not always there. He would have to be there all the time because of the amount of people in the house to keep track of, and he's obviously not.

[@MsXxsleepforeverxX]

Pamber 13 I guess that’s right. We do see him play with it once, but now that I think about it, I remember one scene that showed his doll self in the dollhouse by the staircase. Did they ever explain how and why the house is always correct?

[@klc7275]

The Dani and the Doll one is wrong. When she stumbles into the doll, it's because the lady of the lake is on her way to the house. That's why the kids lock her in the closet. Otherwise, she'd be in the hallway when the lady of the lake gets inside.

[@ZuriBirmingham]

I didn't even think of that. I thought they were just being creepy when, again, they were protecting her

[@kadzigor5937]

@Arisbey Lopez Rivera the kids never get into her path

[@klc7275]

@Arisbey Lopez Rivera The gardener and chef don't live there. Henry Thomas' character (can't remember his name) said they live in town, so they would be gone by the time she came into the house. Also, I saw a comment on another video saying that the dolls were moved around by the little doll face ghost because I guess he knew where all the other ghosts were at any given time. So he probably told Flora and Miles about her, which is why they never got in her way. You would think their parents would have at some point, but I guess not. There were a few things this season that weren't explained very well. I think you just have to go with it if you want to enjoy the story lol

@@klc7275 well to be fair it was never clarified that the parents never saw her, maybe she kept it quiet to not scare the children and make sure they're in bed. but thats a good point, i never thought about that. but at some point it is briefly mentioned that the Lady walks on random days. i think either the parents were asleep when the Lady came into their room and stared at them, sad because there's no child there and didn't kill them because *technically* they're not in her path, then left without waking them orrrrr they did wake up but didn't do anything. they also didn't mention if Henry saw them either... but maybe he did? idk. hope this helps lol

another thing is when Flora is sketching over the graves with paper after she runs inside and tells Hannah Dani said Flora wet her pants Flora says she’ll do the next grave in her eye color, blue, and after Dani takes the paper and walks off it’s revealed to be Viola’s grave and foreshadows i barely caught it but i thought it was so clever also after the sleepover and Hannah walks Miles to bed he says “i had an awful dream that i hurt you” and it’s so subtle but it’s when he killed Hannah when he was possessed and he’s barely remembering it i also do feel like Dani symbolized as moonflower fit so much i mean short lived but beautiful

[@rubytran4352]

When Flora says “I’m too old, the math doesn’t work” when she realizes she’s being tucked away, it’s also about how she’s too old to be Dominic’s child. That got me thinking because Flora might also know about her mom’s relationship with Henry (she saw him getting dressed in Charlotte’s room) and it would be a great pain if she realizes she’s the child from a love affair.

[@maryvillagomez4244]

I knew Mars Grose was s ghost, she never ate. The only thing that messed that theory up for me was when she was drinking wine in a later episode.

[@danielalejandro6896]

that's exactly what I thought

[@bcoates87]

I think the bottle was empty, and she was never really drinking. That’s what I’ve gathered and heard from other videos like this.

[@pranitcool]

But she later also eats when she cooks a fav meal for Owen Sharma while he was returning from his mom's last rituals. In one of the explanation it is said that she never had accepted her death until the very last episode and is the reason why she was stuck in between and was always seen to humans as well. In the last episode she accepts her death and then she suddenly starts fainting as now she is not stuck in her mind and becomes completely a ghost.

[@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299]

I keep thinking that if you did up a timeline that all the events at the end, Dani being possessed, Mrs. Grose death were over a 24 hr period. Time as a ghost moves vastly different.

[@l3xtr3l]

i loved the way the start of the show (jamie waking up, checking the bathtub, etc) is continuation of all the actions that she did in the end - an endless loop, “tucked away” in a memory yet a memory that loops itself right back to where it started, keeping the bly manor story alive.

Also, when the teacher/priest in the boarding school was telling a biblical story of demons needing permission to enter the swine and the swine then drowned in a lake is reminiscent of the ghosts needing permission to stay in someone else permanently. It especially reminds me of when Jamie tries to ask permission in the water when she sees Dani dead at the bottom of the lake.

I can’t remember if she saw him killed from the car window or in one of the cars mirrors?

None. She saw him get killed through the open door. It happened next to her when he open the door and got out, no mirror involved. Maybe that's just how the ghost appear to her. Remember Peter would sometimes appear to her through the window reflection and viola would appear in any reflection

I think it was wonderfully poetic and graceful but left a few loose ends that bother me. Why could the kids not remember anything, what happened to their parents, why was Dani suddenly not haunted by her exfiance anymore, and why was Peter so murderous? I feel I didn't get any of this and more answered.

[@chsny5695]

Read the book

[@alej1778]

The kids might have been traumatized, they tend to forget the traumatic even most of the time or maybe is because they where possessed many times to screw up their memories. We saw how the little girl complained about spending too much time dreaming

[@alej1778]

The parents just died, that's it. Dani decided to move on and burn the glasses, this could explain why her ex also moved on after that. And Peter was always ambitious, he wanted money so that's self explanatory

[@rorschachtestt]

Agreeded there was a few annoying loose ends. In relation to the ex fiancé though I personally saw it as he kept haunting her because she hadn’t accepted she was gay and wasn’t ready to move on with her life. When she went to dump him she might have known on some level she was gay but his death kept her further in the closet and she had to live a lie with everyone - not telling them she was breaking up with him and probably feeling responsible for his death. I think the reason we see him show up when she kisses Jamie (the only time we see him without a mirror I think) is because internally she panics about doing something which show she’s gay and on some level wants to cling on to being straight + her past. When she accepts she’s gay and loves Jamie she’s able to move on from her past and stop being haunted by him. To me it was a really beautiful representation of compulsory heterosexuality and realising and accepting your sexuality.

[@isobelduncan]

Her ex's ghost is also a metaphor for her grief and guilt over breaking his heart. When he no longer haunts it's because she's finally moved on. Quint was just a horrible person. It's normal for kids to repress traumatic memories.

[@joshschwarzbauer8155]

A few of these felt a little flimsy, but for the most part this is wildly impressive- just the insane attention to detail we have quickly gotten used to. I love easter eggs.

Bly Manor was very interesting. The energy in the house, Viola's energy, was very jealous of the lovers. She prevented her sister from jump from getting with the man she then married in her face and even when she was dying she wouldn't allow her sister to hook up with him and after that, when they did she haunted them. Peter and Rebecca (good bad or ugly) were the freeist lovers in that house but when Peter tried to run away to America, Viola killed him. She wasn't about to let them love each other. All the other people in the house were envious of how free they were able to love each other. Hannah because she never could muster up the courage to let the cook love her. Dani because she was deep in the closet and racked with guilt about her ex fiancée and couldn't let the gardener love her. The Gardner was hatin' Peter and Rebecca for the same reason, they could love with abandon. Also, isn't weird how the Uncle looks like Viola's widow husband who married her sister? Those two souls met up again to love in secret. Good story.

Stephen King's got this macroverse thing going on too. But what's ever weirder than this video using Pratchett's Discworld image is that every other source I looked at actually uses it.

Also near the end, when Viola starts to show in Dani's reflection, her blue eye is often covered with her hair, and her brown one is uncovered. I think thats showing that Viola is starting to show more, and Dani is starting to see and feel less.

The music box that belonged to Flora and Miles' mother had the song O Willow Walt on it. If Viola sang it to the child she took into the lake does that mean she either or possessed the mother who chose a music box with the same song? Also the music box references the 1981 film The Changeling in which a composer moves into a haunted mansion and starts working on a piano composition. He later discovers a hidden attic with an old music box with the exact same melody as the one he believed he had composed.

theres this one really good one i noticed that no one seems to be talking about but in the first episode of hill house while young shirley was asleep she said the line "pandas don't eat macaroni" and on the first episode of bly manor while owen was preparing dinner flora said the line "owen makes the best macaroni and cheese sandwich"

In Hill House when Olivia asks if everything is okay, Henry replies, "Pandas don't like macaroni, Liv." Shirley said "Pandas don't eat macaroni," not that they don't like it. Maybe they'd like it if they tried it 😂😩 So stupid & petty of me, but that part drives me nuts Edit: Hugh, not Henry. Derp 🤦‍♀️

@@reallifein3d two other things. When Hugh first opens the door, Shirley is muttering “...dancing in the Red Room...” real quiet. And as adults, when they all wake up at the same time and she mutters it again, a split second before they wake up, there’s a quick cracking sound. Yeah, that’s the sound of Nell’s neck snapping. And now I’m sad again.

[@antonvandermerwe4670]

One thing everyone seems to have missed is how, when Dani and Edmund are kids and Edmund shows Dani his new glasses he says, "Mom says they make me look extinguished," foreshadowing his ghostly appearances to Dani after his tragic death where the glowing glasses are his ghost's most defining characteristic. Also, once Dani destroys the glasses Edmund no longer appears to her. Almost as if it really was, quite literally, the glasses that made him appear dead or "extinguished".

But why none of the parents and their uncle never met that evil lady from the lake if she appeared every week🤔🤔🤔 and I guess that room she used to go was their master bedroom, but they didn’t look scared at all in the flashbacks🤔🤔🤔

[@thwb4661]

the house was only a summer estate, so it wasn't really their main house and they didn't stay in the house often, up until it became the main residence for Miles and Flora after they died. The show also mentioned indirectly that the lady of the lake only awakens and does her routine at certain periods of the year so it's most likely that the Wingrave parents never encountered the lady of the lake during the summer months.

Something else you might have missed was the interview with Quint where he says that she went to SOAS and she says that she studied Russian for a year. Well, they do Russian at SEES across the courtyard, not at soas, the Oriental and African uni. The name is a give away.

[@rabiakrkz9727]

Warning this Spoiler I have a thesis. The reason the governess can solve the curse with a few words is that the curse is set up with a few words. I think when Viola first said these words to her daughter, it was not a curse of course, but a talisman was formed. This talisman symbolizes the viola's devotion to her daughter. Just like his devotion to life, he was very attached to the daughter. This talisman found a material space when the viola got sick and finally gave up life, the thing she loved in life, and hid it in a chest for her daughter. Because the viola had gone through everything. She lived for only one daughter, and this talisman would bring her together. I don't think you did this on purpose. He was surprised when he woke up at the ballot box. When the superstitious husband of Viola threw the thought into the lake, it prevented this reunion, so the talisman turned into a curse. It turned into an energy in the ark and caged Bly Maner this ballot box . It was the energy of the chest, the amulet and the viola that did not take the dead out of there. Again, with the same words, the lock of this curse, the chest, was broken. All the energy is trapped inside the Governess. Then I say, you, we , us.

@@lookin4someone2lov15 No. They've been together for about 13 years. The first time we learned how many years they've been together is thru the narration (older Jamie narrating it's been 5 years) the second time is when they're in the restaurant with Owen, he tells them that Flora is 17. She's 8 at the start of the series (making it 9 years) The third time is the last scene, when Jamie brings home a file of civil union (like a predecessor of gay marriage) which was legalized in Vermont in 2000. The story happened in 1987 (as Hannah keeps on saying when she's dream-hopping) Summing all that up to year 2000, we get 13 years.

[@gabbytheartfriend]

The dollhouse isn't magical; the show shows you a glimpse of the Dollface Ghost moving the dolls around in coordination with where the ghosts are in the house. That's how Flora knows to trust it, and how the dolls move even when outside of the dollhouse like the Lady of the Lake does.

[@garattyfisher]

Wouldn't Willoughby also be a throw to the episode of Twilight Zone, A Stop At Willoughby, where the passenger is in the train is trying to escape his life. Essentially being called to his death? Connection by name it seems, but maybe there is something there.
