The Chilling Story of Hannah Grose from The Haunting of Bly Manor

[@namitma]

The 5th Episode was a masterpiece. Sad, terrifying and mind boggling. I love how this show bends the conventional horror genre.

[@mereiriz]

Yes! This show is perfection!

[@suvonil_]

Coincidentally the 5th Episode of The Haunting of Hill House was called The Bent-neck Lady, which featured a bent-neck lady. Both has similar twist.

ITs actually gothic horror but your close haha

"After the housekeeper's body was taken from the well, some in the village said that the cook rode with her all the way to the coroner. And there, he insisted on cleaning her himself, which he managed with a soft towel, soap scented with lavender and the greatest of care. He stayed at her side until she was buried and he loved her the whole way. I'm told and I believe, that he loves her still" The sobs that escaped me at that moment...

[@janedoll3237]

Their story was beautiful and tragic 😢. But honestly the part about him bathing the body didn’t necessarily make sense to me? Wouldn’t they need to examine it given the circumstances? She was also down there enough days, exposed to the elements, that I don’t think she’d be in great condition. Kind of morbid to think about. Maybe it’s supposed to be a nod to Hill House, except he obviously wouldn’t have done the medical parts.

[@sherry356]

@@janedoll3237 I washed and prepared my grandad for burial when he died with soap, water and towel - it's completely normal in our culture. Different cultures treat the dead differently. In many parts of the East for example, it's normal and expected that someone close will clean the corpse before gently wrapping it up with a white cloth for burial (or cremation). It may seem morbid to you, but in other parts of the world it's a respectful, loving and caring ritual. What I find morbid is people who rip out the insides and inject preservative liquids into their dead loved ones, keeping them for weeks or months on end. But as I said, what's morbid to one might be the opposite to another.

Does anyone else think about the fact that Hannah's story perfectly executes the butterfly effect? Some of the smallest things could've saved Hannah like Dani just driving the full way to Bly instead of getting out and walking.

[@zakrowe1301]

That was the first thing that came to my mind, if only dani was just a few seconds earlier hannah could've lived

[@jasperlucas5642]

That's not really true though, is it? The moment Dani arrived was just the moment that Miles/Peter showed Hannah her own body at the bottom of the well, it's not the moment Miles/Peter pushed her in. She had been dead for a while when Dani arrived.

[@samkpam]

@@jasperlucas5642 yeah but had she driven there Dani would've been their much much earlier. Even before she got pushed especially considering how far from the house Owen let her out. She would've been there at least 5-10 minutes faster.

[@jasperlucas5642]

@@samkpam Yeah I get what you mean but those things happened on different days right? The day she was pushed in wasn't the day Dani arrived, that was much later.

[@samkpam]

@@jasperlucas5642 nope it was the same day. You might wanna watch episode 1 and 5 again. They try to make it show that Hannah has been dead ever since Dani arrived. As soon as Hannah dies at the bottom of the well, her ghost appears at the top of the well. And then Miles says "so this is her" but he looks dazed because Peter just stopped possessing him. There's little to no time in between those events they just pause for a long period so that we as an audience can take in what happened.

[@lennon7575]

My favourite character. Hannah’s conversation with Owen at the kitchen table where she learnt the truth brought a tear to my eye. Brilliant actress. Hopefully they will bring T’Nia back for the third season 🤞

[@S25Mable]

I hated these religious idiots like Hannah Grose, who believed in something like they were being taken to Paradise, but no! I don't think that ever happened. I mean, why can't they just wake up and accept that there was no such thing as God. Hell is also non-existent. There is only the cycle of life and death, referred to as "reincarnation!" Live, die, and repeat!

I like how the detail that captured by the last few words mentioned by Hannah at the end of episode 5. When she said many overlap words, it slowly fades as she came to realisation that she already dead. It subtly shown by the last "You are Hannah Grose" sounded like a mumbling words "You are... a... Ghost..." Whether the name of her character meant to turn out that way or not, but Kudos to Flanagan for such a brilliant detail if it's true🙌

Learning that Hannah had been dead the entire time broke my fucking heart, her love story with Owen was pure and beautiful. I couldn't help but smile every time they showed their adoration for each other. It was probably the biggest injustice in the series, because if anyone deserved to be loved it was Hannah. I have never sobbed more in my life for a character than I did for her, realising she had been looking down at her body when we first meet her. Peter Quint deserved to become a faceless monster, because that's all he was. The worst part for me is the children forgot, so many people perished trying to protect them and they just... forgot.

Somehow, even while watching the show for the first time, I had a gut feeling that she was pulling a Sixth Sense. I guessed it from the crack she kept on seeing everywhere.

I love how Hannah kinda mirrors Viola in death. Both of them are able to be much more present than the others through sheer stubbornness and denial (Viola obviously and Hannah being able to change clothes and physically interact with the world unlike Peter and Rebecca).

Hannah Grose's after-death experiences reminded me of the Tibetan Book of the Dead's instructions on the bardo between lives, where parts of you are stripped away piece by piece and if you can stay level-headed then you can go into the light, like Hannah did at the end once the curse was broken.
