* Why does Moira say that women are more moral than men and see into a persons soul? Constance didn't do that, she saw Moira being raped by Hugo and thought she was having an affair before shooting her dead. That's not seeing into someone's soul that's victim blaming in it's truest form. I understand why she thinks most men are sexist sleazebags, (She's wrong of course, but I see where she's coming from.) But where does this assumption of female compassion come from? If anything she should think women think with their hearts, rather than their heads. That's what Constance did.

* How did no one smell [[spoiler: Violet's rotting corpse]] in the crawl space? Even something as small as a dead mouse has a noticeable smell, and the amount of blowflies coming and going through the floorboards shows the space isn't sealed away where the smell might have been contained.

* What ''is'' it about the house that causes those dying there to be trapped as ghosts and unable to pass onto the afterlife? Is there a backstory as to how that particular plot of land came to be that way?

* What happens if a ghost is standing in the exact same spot as a human when they choose to be invisible? I assume the humans can’t feel the ghosts either when they’re invisible?]]

** [[spoiler: Derrick is actually murdered in his own home. He returns home in order to deal with his fears of Piggy Man and is killed there, and thus doesn't die in the residence. Joe Escandarian is also killed off the premises; although he's attacked in the house, Constance tells Larry to drag him off before he's actually dead so he can die somewhere else. Animals wouldn't have souls so to speak that even could be trapped, so they'd be out. Aborted fetuses don't have spirits either, we can tell this given it was a plot point that Jeffrey took a single breath, so he was able to become a spirit, without it, he couldn't. Charles was likely referring to one of the fetuses when he referred to "one of his girls", as there's no evidence he murdered multiple girls, let alone one, and thus we can assume he took a heart from a nearly-developed fetus. The nurse that Batholomew killed seems to have died before the house started trapping spirits, as she would've predated any other ghost of the house, given Charles was still practicing at the time.]]

*** [[spoiler: Hayden wasn't lying.]] Hallie the dog is alive and well, having been adopted by Marcy [[spoiler: following Ben's death]].

*** In season 5, we see that there are also numerous ghosts inhabiting the Hotel Cortez, which has a similar history in that a very large number of people have been killed brutally there. Therefore, further credence is lent to the theory that places where a lot of suffering and pain has happened can acquire the metaphysical property of trapping spirits of people who have died there.

* How come we never saw the ghost of the unborn babies Charles aborted, or the girl he took the beating heart of, or Joe Escandarian, or Ben’s patient Derek, Bianca Forrest, the animals The Infantata eats, or in Hotel, the nurse or Charles that Bartholomew killed?

* Given that [[spoiler: Violet]] couldn't have been declared dead by the time the Ramos's moved in to the house, was it legal to sell the house when the possible next of kin hadn't given permission? Also [[spoiler: is anyone going to bury this poor girl's body?]]

** They work online maybe?

* In "Afterbirth", we see the Harmons and Moira celebrating Christmas together, with a tree and lights. Since [[spoiler: all of them are dead, and presumably unable to hold regular jobs]], who is paying the electric bill?
