The Origin

[kristian.olsen]

I just played part 1... to see if I missed something vital - something we haven't discussed yet, and I think there is:

When Holly plays the first tap recorded by Elisabeth, we hear her say, that there was no father to the children.
How have Elisabeth conceived her triplets? In vitro fertalization? Or some other way?
I guess Part 3 has this to unveil as well...

I've been playing and replaying parts 1 & 2 and I'm beginning to think that maybe we're in Elizabeths/Holly/Heather/Dahlia's subconscious. Maybe this has more to do with psychology rather then the paranormal.
I got that notion with the ending of part 2 and the "what if" started in my brain. What if there were never real triplets, what if that is the "soul parted in 3"?! What if Elizabeth is the patient in the sanatorium herself? What if it never really burned down? What if she is still there, under treatment?
But then again, I'm just speculating myself.

Love this theory! lots of what if, and some of them never occur to me, like the mother being the patient and this all never happened. it has all been playing in her mind ever since she discovered the cemetery beneath the house.

This theory started to brew in my head after the second part and after playing the demo. It had a bit of this "Shutter Island"-vibe. I don't know if you ever saw that movie.

All I know is that there is references in the first game that imply that they might be the result of a ritual. They tried to summon something but instead of being whole in a singular body it was split between the three daughters.

I remember, when I first played the game and came to the note that said that the grandfather had died right after he visited the (Was it Lancaster?) family.
I thnk that the grandfather discovered that Charles Lancaster impragnant Elizabeth trough magic (or something), and which they treaten to leave the house the Lancasters they couldn't control it anymore, which is why they murdered him

Close.. not Lancaster, but Laudius. And yes - you might be right. Many things point in that direction.
