* The last thing she would have remembered in life was the pain of whacking her head on the bathroom sink as she fell regreting her decesion. Hence the bruise forever wounds her psyche so it is part of her ghost.

[[WMG: Haley Joel Osment Killed Bruce Willis]]
How is this possible? Here is how: Haley Joel Osment sees dead people. Bruce Willis is one of them. When Hayley Joel Osment sees these dead people, they are from all different times. Hundreds of years ago even. They're not just people who have recently died. So, if ghosts can travel into the future and reveal themselves to Haley, what's to say they can't travel back in time? The opening scene of the movie shows Bruce being shot by one of his patients. The patient says “Do you know why you're afraid when you're alone? I do.” You find out later that he was referring to ghosts being present. Then, after he shoots Bruce, Bruce finds another patient with an eerily similar condition: He can also see ghosts. Coincidence? I think not. Here's what really happened. Bruce Willis tried to help Haley, Haley couldn't be helped, so he went crazy and shot Bruce. The ghost of Bruce then traveled back in time to BEFORE he tried to help Haley. At this point in time, Bruce and his wife are separated, which is why she is depressed and thinking of seeing another man.

So there you have it. Bruce tries to help Haley, Haley kills him, Bruce-Ghost travels back in time and tries to help again, only to realize that he is dead.

* What if it's not that Ghost Bruce Willis traveled through time but rather that HJO is both a medium AND pre-cog medium, meaning he can communicate with, channel and summon ghosts from his own future. So he communicates with the ghost of a man he will kill in the future.
* No time travel needed. It's established that ghosts see what the want to see. Both HJO and Crowe wanted to see that they were alive, so they both created this mutual world where Crowe was taking care of HJO's problem. HJO lives with his mom (who may also be dead) and Crowe haunts the basement of his own house. Everyone sese what they want, and Crowe's wife goes on with her life. BTW, it may also be that there are other ghosts watching Crowe, HJO, the mother and the wife and seeing what they want, too. They would be the audience.

*Perhaps it is because of the grandmother Cole can see ghosts. She died with this one seemingly small regret that she never told her daughter she saw her dance, but now with the omniscient perspective of the afterlife she realizes this one little event has caused her daughter so much pain, pain the daughter is even passing on to the grandchild. The grandmother's spirit desperately tries to reach the daughter who won't hear her, but the grandchild, being a wide eyed kid is of open mind and while he can't quite hear his grandmother he begins listening and hearing other ghosts who are basically screaming louder in the pyschic plane.

[[WMG: Vincent is Cole's Father.]]
Sear was Cole's Mother's Surname, otherwise he would have been known as Cole Grey. Both had the ability to see ghosts, the only difference being that Cole didn't express his. The relationship was probably a moment of peace for Vincent, because it kept his mind off not only his problems, but somewhat helped him cope Crowe's refusal to help him further. Vincent expressed his sometime after Cole was born. The result caused Lynn to be disturbed and divorced Vincent. Rather than tell Cole what really happened, the story of him running off with a Toll Booth Lady, was fabricated by Lynn, so to not cause any more trauma to Cole.
The evidence to support this is the Following:
*** Both had similar backgrounds.
*** They never want to be alone.
*** It's kind of odd that they both see the same psychiatrist.

Cole doesn't exist (or, at least not the way Crowe perceives him). The whole thing was something Crowe needed to do to redeem himself, sort of like how he, as a ghost has to pass on. Perhaps his original patient did not really see ghosts and was just hopelessly mentally ill, but Crowe could not reconcile that and his mind or agents of the afterlife created this scenario for him.

** CONTINUITY NAZI!
*** Try it this way: Crowe did get shot, but he survived. It's not like he got shot in the heart, there's a chance he could have lived. So now it's next year, and his career is ruined because word gets out about his former patient going psychotic. He's obsessed with redeeming himself, and he secretly "helps" Cole despite his license being revoked. His wife hates him for ignoring her in favor of Cole (forgetting his anniversary etc.) All the original interpretations of her scenes were correct. He so much wants to help Cole and to believe his wife loves him, but the only way to do so is to buy into Cole's hallucinations, even though they are only hallucinations. Soon he starts hallucinating too, at first "hearing" the ghost on the tape (a conveinent explanation that relieves him of guilt for failing with the other boy, and shows him how to redeem himself with Cole) and then at the end believing himself to be dead. When his wife says "Why did you leave me?" she's referring to him abandoning her in favor of his crazy belief in ghosts and obsessing over Cole. She's watching their wedding video to remember happier times. He can't face that, just like he can't face failure with the other boy or Cole, so the rest of the scene is his hallucination. She has his wedding ring because he forgot it, being selfish and obsessed, and she's throwing it on the floor in disgust.]]*
