Supernatural/Psychotic episodes (spoilers)

[mhmacleod]

Didn't notice much of this being said and I think it has an impact on the ending - just that I don't really know exactly what - so I wanna list down all the wierd happenings in the game that can't seem to be explained away, and which seem to point to Rachel being an actual ghost, or maybe that Nicole was having a major psychotic episode and dreaming everything up (must be something in those beans).

Hoping more of us might bring up any other things that I might've missed so we can complete the picture, so to speak.

Easy ones:
- 'Murderer' on the chalkboard
- Nicole seemingly being possessed at the end
- the doors all slamming shut at one point toward the end of the game

Some not-so-obvious ones:
- The dying rose in the keyslots
- The wolf picture - it begins with the wolf looking pretty normal, curious even. But late in the game it twists into a snarl, and at the very end the picture is replaced entirely with a generic one of a forest.
- Really wierd sounds in the crawlspace with the drawings
- The freezer room opening by itself (or was that Irving?)

Please help to compile any more if you remember them here!

Someone has theorized in another thread that Nichole might be having hallucinations because of breathing in mold for a prolonged time. Other times it's just Irving.

Anyway, nice catch, I need to replay the game some time to notice these details.
