Hannah's death is the saddest tho... At least dani experienced being with her love one while hannah died without even making sure that owen knows she love him And what's even sadder is hannah was forgotten by the 2 kids she saw as her family

[@sunofthemourning333]

Her death was just the saddest. 😢😢

[@XleahrachelleX]

I think Rebecca's is even sadder because she realizes Peter manipulated her into death and he made her feel the drowning because he didn't want to (and she tried to save herself but couldn't, made me think of Naya Rivera). But Hannah's is a close, close second. Hannah and Rebecca both were too trusting of Peter (even though Hannah knew not to be, and she should've known from what Miles was saying on the way to the well that it was really him). But Peter 100% killed both of them tragically.

[@aneoka7868]

hannah's? viola's death wins by a landslide. she used to be extremely close to her baby and would did anything for her, until she got sick and couldn't watch her child grow up. she knew she was going to die soon so she decided to take all of her expensive items and leave them for her daughter in a trunk, which is the only memory her daughter would have of her. then when she was lying in bed her jealous, aggressive sister held her hand over her mouth until she died. after that perdita tried to get into the trunk and sell/wear everything she had left for her daughter. little did she know that when viola died her ghost went into the trunk. viola had been waiting and when someone finally opened the trunk she thought it we be her daughter. instead it was her sister, so viola choked her. after that she went back into the trunk and waited for years, for the day that her daughter would be able to wear everything she had been left. she woke up thinking that the trunk was being opened, but in reality she was thrown into the lake and realized that soon after. every night, she would wake up and walk to her old bedroom trying to find her daughter. most of the time there was no one, but when there was someone in the way of her attempting to reach her daughter she would strangle them and drag them back to the lake. she would go back to sleep, then wake up forgetting what happened. doing it all over again. my point is that all viola ever wanted was her baby. she just wanted to be with her but she couldn't. instead she was killed betrayed and then ditched, so that's why i believe viola's death was the saddest.

[@alaia-awakened]

Jamie and Owen were never haunted because they didn’t push away their grief; they owned it, processed it, and thus became immune to being haunted.

owen doesnt sleep there, he tends on his mom, he goes home early sometimes, and not joining them for dinner, as said on the show on an earlier episode. we only see a few night scene where he goes there but not the whole night does he stays. Jamie's room isnt inside the house. there was also a scene at the bonfire, where Jamie and owen goes home after Owen asked Hannah to go with him at Paris. re-watching it a couple of times. i also find out that viola's pathway on the way up was charlottes room. so ummm... they didnt clear that up. i need an explanation on that. and i agree with Mex CrownWarr. they are usually at the kitchen and garden most of the time. they werent really in the book to begin with.

You see, I disagree with you on the first bit. In my opinion the “ghost” dani saw was just her guilt manifesting itself as her ex-fiancé, not his actual spirit. Similar to that of hill house when Shirley saw her guilt manifesting itself as the man she had an affair with.

[@Itsjustkat1003]

Definitely. Bly Manor is all about memory, being haunted by our memories, how our memories change over time, and how fleeting memory is. Dani is haunted by the memory of what happened, that’s why Edmund’s glasses glow like they did right before he died. Hannah has lost her memory (of her death), but she also could be a description of the terror of dementia. She keeps getting lost in her memories, finds herself lost and confused, not knowing where or when she is. This series is all about how terrifying our memories can be, how they can haunt us and destroy us.

[@rebecalucia8434]

I agree. Dani's ghost is so similar to Uncle Henry's ghost. They just obviously seemed like manifestations of guilt to me the way they followed their victims from location to location.

[@federicaalgisi8129]

I would say it was more like PTSD

[@jasperkanes8522]

I've also seen an even deeper read of this that the ghost of Dani's ex is actually her guilt not just about his death but also about being unable to be straight for him and his family in a heteronormative patriarchal world. He doesn't stop haunting her until she fully accepts her identity as a lesbian by committing to her love for Jamie.

[@TheKillaShow]

There is a scene where the ghost is pulled into the house. Like all those who died at Bly.

Technically Jamie and Owen were haunted by a ghost. Hannah. They just didn't know she was a ghost. And Peter possessing Miles interacted with them too.

[@angelgood1867]

The whole show revolves around love and the power of love. I think the reason that Jamie and Owen were never haunted by the original spirits of Bly was because they were being “haunted” by Hannah, and Hannah loved them both so much that her love protected them both. However, neither of them truly escaped the haunting. Owen lost the love of his life, and so did Jamie, but only after being haunted by the Lady of the Lake WITHIN Dani. And to add onto that, Jamie and Owen are now both being haunted by the loss of their loved ones and that’s the worst kind of haunting.

[@jeiraeth]

this. this is beautiful.

[@estela007]

Jaime and Owen were not really hunted by a ghost in the way the others were because they kind of let go the past. in somehwhere i read this season was about forgetting the past, letting go the past. Owen was hunted by his mother but the moment she died he said he was happy because she was long ago gone and Jaime the same. She let go her past, focused in flowers, etc and continued living while the others didn't. Owen and Jaime were kind of happy about letting go. The others couldn't stop thinking about the past. Dany with her fiance, hannah with her hudsband i think, the kids with their parents... Even at the end Jaime is still waiting for Dany i feel it's more of the same. THey let go the past (kind of why she tells the story in the way she does), but she couldn't let go her love for dany.

[@alaia-awakened]

Hannah’s intense episode where she keeps travelling from one memory to the other is for me a metaphor on how she mulls the most. Jamie and Owen also found a way to process their emotions through gardening and cooking, an outlet instead of justing thinking things over and over.

[@denny.moiras]

It’s all Flora’s fault. Love the child but if she didn’t start screaming her head off and refusing to follow Dani, who literally has spent the whole series taking care of Flora and protecting her, even though she already saw and knew what happened to Miles plus Peter and Rebecca’s plan to tuck her and her brother away.

[@shinobusora]

I saw a couple of people in other comment sections say that they think Dani wasn't tied to the grounds of Bly so it's entirely possible that she really had visited Jamie in the hotel room. Viola was the one creating the supernatural pull at Bly, and once she was contained within Dani, that pull was gone. Even in Dani's death, Viola could still be contained by Dani's spirit. After all, Viola hadn't overtaken Dani by the time Dani had drowned herself, so Dani was the one who had the most control, and her death could have locked that control in. Since Dani would be the one calling the shots, she might be able to leave Bly. Jamie was assuming Dani would walk the ground like Viola had, losing her memories and all that, because that was the only data she had to go by. She could have been totally wrong in her assumption. This is just a theory and I have no idea if any of this has been confirmed by the creators, but it's a fun headcanon.

[@daysirc]

Your theory matches what the creator said in an interview. The last scene where Dani's hand is shown, it means that she was with Jamie the whole time but didn't want to "hunt" her.

[@sophiakristell9840]

In a way Peter was right. "They were just the help". They paid the price for it and after everything they have been through, the family was able to move on with their lives :(

[@moxiemaxie3543]

Damn, you're right

[@AA-ji7xf]

Interestingly, out of all the main characters, Jamie and Owen were the only ones who didn’t live through negative emotions due to a breakup or bereavement for most of the time since the beginning of the story timeline. •Hannah was going through a marriage breakup. •Henry was experiencing breakup, guilt due to his affair, the death of his brother and his wife and abandoning his daughter and nephew. (Maybe such enormous guilt is what made him see a ghost of himself outside Bly) •The children were experiencing bereavement.(also maybe because they are children) •Dani was haunted by her fiancé’s death. •Peter was haunted by his past which made him insecure about his relationship and prompted him to plot, steal and run away. •Jessel was angry at Peter because she thought he ran away without her. Maybe since they (Owen and Jamie) weren’t experiencing that sense of guilt, betrayal, anger and sadness they weren’t able to see the ghosts created by Viola whom’s curse and its gravity was fuelled by such strong emotions. Or at least that’s what I think.🤷🏻‍♂️

[@XleahrachelleX]

That's a really good theory, but you could also maybe say it's their connection to the dead. I don't think Hannah saw anything before she died. Then again by the time Viola took Flora they could clearly all see her. I'm pretty confused about what Hannah, Owen, & Jamie knew prior to Dani coming there.

[@AA-ji7xf]

@@XleahrachelleX that sounds really plausible.👌 I thought Hannah was able to see Peter just before he pushed her into the well. In that scene she realised he was dead, which makes me think if it was just a memory and if so, why she was pushed into the well in the first place if she couldn’t see Peter when she was alive. It a confusing show.😂

[@XleahrachelleX]

@@AA-ji7xf I saw a comment that said it's because Jamie and Owen didn't sleep there at night and I think that's probably a big factor. And Hannah implies that she sleeps through the night by saying she wakes up to the footprints sometimes, so if she doesn't leave her room at night she would've never seen Viola on her path. But with how often the ghosts appear during the day, it's hard to believe any one person in that house for years didn't see anything. They would like, hide in corners and shadows, some theories that the plague doctor and doll face ghost watched over things (I think he moved the dolls to show where they were). And well, the doctor was a someone that helped people. But yeah, as good as this show was, it's left me with many questions 😄

surprised I haven’t seen this mentioned, Jamie is an unreliable narrator, especially at the end after Dani dies. She doesn’t actually know that Dani walks the grounds of Bly, she just assumes so because Dani’s not there to tell her otherwise.

[@cooki3monstrrr]

Loved this!! I think one could argue that Owen & Jaime were haunted. Even though Hannah was unaware that she was a ghost, she was attached to Owen because she loved him. He unknowingly helped keep her grounded & momentarily live out the fantasy of what their lives could have been. As for Jaime, as mentioned, she's an unreliable narrator & changed some details. She also states at the beginning that it's not her story. So maybe she was haunted in her own way by the past she mentioned in her monolog in the garden, but she chose not to share that because the story she's telling isn't about her personal journey

That is a good question but for one it was a summer home so that cuts down the opportunities, secondly the father was always gone and the mother was cheating so maybe they didn't stay in bed much, and also possible they just slept thru the walk so viola just saw them and left like she did with the plague victim, she only killed the doctor because he got in her face.

I really wish they had ended Dani's backstory properly, maybe reconcile with Edmunds mother? It would probably have been better then straight up dropping the Plotline

[@souphater6428]

For me it's much more interesting that Flora and Miles' parents never experienced paranormal things. I mean they did go on vacations, etc., but for me it's still weird that they never saw any ghost during the years they lived in that house?

[@daniellezelezniak4301]

The mother did. The mother had seen the little boy, because she talks to Flora (in a memory) about giving the ghost a story so than she wasn’t afraid anynrow

Henry said that when he was young had a knight as a "imaginary" friend there in Bly, but we discover that there is really a knight ghost in the manor (we see him near the main stairs IIRC). I guess that the ghosts in Bly are good, neutral at least, so they leave the people who live there alone. Remember that over the time they forgot who they are and since non of them can go outside Bly manor they simply stay there, like Perdita and the plague doctor. The one who is actively "protecting" the family is the boy with the doll face, moving the puppets and letting know Flora when the Lady of the lake wakes up for her healthy night-walk.

Victoria is a professor of acting. I hope to see her in Hollywood movies. She deserves fame. She has beauty and charisma that you don't find in the most famous actresses.

[@haxyquinn]

(TLDR at the bottom) Jamie and Owen were new to the manor, we know for a fact at least Owen was hired after the kid's parents died, I assume the same for Jamie, as we don't see them in any scene with the parents and the kids only spend vacations there, that's why flora doesn't see the little kind until she is 5. Also, you already did a video on hidden ghosts and they are around Owen and Hanna quite a bit. I think the kids protected Hanna from the lady in the lake. I assume most ghosts were around a lot inside the house but outside no so much so Jamie was fine. But most of all I think the children protection and Hanna lighting candles to the dead kept them safe. Also, Peter didn't show his ugly face because he knew everybody hated him and he couldn't possess them and I want to believe Rebecca is ashamed, and Owen and Hanna would have taken the kids away knowing there were ghosts ruining Peter's plan. TLDR: light candles to the dead, don't stay after dark (hill house reference) befriend kids that know where ghosts are at all times, have another ghost to protect you and they better don't show their faces or you are taking those kids away and ruining their plan.

[@Mikerille]

She didn’t die, when viola took over, she was where she always was, in the lake, but influenced by Dani, hence why “but she is also the lady of the lake, and will never drag anyone down again” and once viola finally fades away, Dani will be free, to be with the one who she loves, as she is the only one who didn’t make the decision, who gave everything up for everyone else, unlike the possessive and jealous others.

[@bloodmanor8]

Flora asked Owen to speak at the rehearsal dinner. We know when she was 17 she went to his restaurant with her brother and Henry. So it's probable they kept in touch since you wouldn't ask a stranger to make a speech. And Jamie sat in the seat next to Henry so she was his plus one.

[@Arnslop]

[@HooLyKeKyy]

To me the different kinds of hauntings and the slipping away in memories and time glitches are all different manifestations of different mental illnesses. I think this is why we don't see Owen and Jaimy getting haunted. Although they have to deal with these issues in their loved ones, Owen's mom litterally and Jaimy's wife Dani with her hauntings, their own mental health is quite good.

[@HooLyKeKyy]

Dani's dead boyfriend: PTSD Lady in the lake in Dani: Depression Hannah's time travel: Dementia (if she is demented, she might as well be dead, because living in the current moment is the only way to truly be alive) Flora tucked away in memories: ADD or derealization? Miles being taken over by Quint: Could be the early start of Dissociative identity disorder, set on by the traumatic events of losing many loved ones? Uncle Henry and scary grinning Henry : Schitzofrenia

[@jozhan9891]

Jamie & Owen was not really haunted by the ghost because they dont sleep in the house. They stays outside & comes back in the morning only.

Something I wondered, similarly to how when Dani burned the glasses Edmund stopped haunting her, if they had burned the clothes would Viola also been satiated and stop haunting bly?

Why do the kids not remember anything as they grow old, like did Peter n Rebecca over possessed their memories?

[@ULATAN.]

I wanted Edmunds ghost to defend Dani from the Lady of the Lake since he was a ghost from outside Bly. But he disappeared 😩

[@thommohawk1216]

That's what I thought was going to happen, but that would have been predictable. I must say that I love how The Haunting Of series plays with foreshadowing and time perspective like so in Hill House you see Nell in the corner so you think nothing is amiss - only then the phone call comes. And then you have the character loops in Bly Manor you basically experience the disorientation of Hannah's loop before reaching one yourself as the viewer when Dani shows up to the manor for the first time.

[@danielpereyra2290]

he wasn't a real ghost, it was dani's guilt, thats why when she burna his glasses he dissapears because she let's go of the guilt

[@pump1180]

The fact that Jamie and owen or forced to live the rest of their lives without the people they love the most is a type of haunting in my opinion.... probably the worst one out of all of them because they stuck with the memories of people who will never remember them back

I think they played with the theme of death very well. I would’ve loved Peter to be a rounder character though.

[@artZlisa05]

I think that the Gardener (Jamie) and the Cook (Owen) were not affected by the hauntings because they were actual caretakers of the home and family. They didn't ever try to take anything away from the manor or the family. In the episode about Viola, we learn about her strong will which includes maintaining ownership of the home and her family. Peter was often seen by Hanna stealing from the manor and the family. Then Rebecca wore and took the mink coat. The ones who are guilty or trying to take away from the home/family would remain part of the hauntings. Which is why the Gardener and the Cook weren't as affected by the hauntings while they were there. They had nothing to be guilty about. They were there just to take care of the home and nurture love for the family.

[@Darkangelike]

Gosh, I was wondering why Hannah was not a "ghost" like the others and always maintained a physical presence around everyone else in Bly. Now that explains it! I thought it was a plot hole haha. As for why Owen and Jamie are not haunted, I have absolutely no idea. We cannot say that they never got around grief (Owen lost his mother, and then Jamie has a sad past). But maybe it is because they are content with the way things are now ? Maybe.

owen doesnt sleep there, he tends on his mom, he goes home early sometimes, and not joining them for dinner, as said on the show on an earlier episode. we only see a few night scene where he goes there but not the whole night does he stays. Jamie's room isnt inside the house. there was also a scene at the bonfire, where Jamie and owen goes home after Owen asked Hannah to go with him at Paris. re-watching it a couple of times. i also find out that viola's pathway on the way up was charlottes room. so ummm... they didnt clear that up. i need an explanation on that. and i agree with Mex CrownWarr. they are usually at the kitchen and garden most of the time. they werent really in the book to begin with.

[@cecilyfc]

If I got it right, the lady in the lake only takes people down like certain days at midnight. So, considering Jami and Owen didn't live in the manor; most likely they never spend the night there except for that very night Jamie spent with Dani. I find the fact that Peter or the plague doctor were taken way stranger than Jamie and Owen being 'immune' to her.

[@TheGrogin13]

I honestly think, as good as Hannah's performance was, Owen seriously takes the prize for scene stealer. His monologue at the fire, the look on his face when he lights the candle, his deadpan of the most sinister lines of his job interivew... he was done PERFECTLY. Don't get me wrong, though, Hannah's portrayal was on point, too (especially the thing with the crack in the wall... so good). Personally, I have Hill House as a 9.5/10, and this series as a 9/10. So just barely behind the first "season". And I already want news on the third.

Like Sadie said, "Jamie is an unreliable storyteller". There are parts Jamie knew for sure based on her own experience and conversations with Dani, Owen, and Henry.

I think Jaime and Owen were never haunted because...in a word...they were lucky. Just as (evidently) the parents of Flora and Miles evidently were never haunted. Or at least not to the point where they really noticed. I kinda love the notion that the Northern California home was in fact Bly Manor. The more I think on it, though--how do we know Dani walks the halls of Bly Manor? All we know is what Jaime knows, who essentially knows that when she tried to invite Dani's ghost inside, nothing happened. And as far as anyone vanishing, i.e. being taken, nothing happens. I think Dani is following Jaime until they can be together again.
