** Jessica Price initially seems to be just an especially vengefully [[BigBrotherInstinct overprotective older sister]] looking to punish the man who'd wronged her mentally ill sister, with the haunting being a PayEvilUntoEvil scenario. [[spoiler: The truth is that she and Craddock had ''murdered'' Anna and blamed Jude for his positive influence on her. And if THAT didn't count, her allowing Craddock to use Reese, ''her own daughter'' as a SexSlave certainly does.]]
Added DiffLines:
** Reese Price, too. Most of what had happened to Anna also applies to her, although the events of the plot mercifully end her mistreatment much sooner than Anna's.

* TheWoobie: Anna "Florida" Price had an absolutely miserable life. Growing up without parents, she was raised by her older sister and their sadistic stepfather, Craddock McDermott [[spoiler: who frequently raped her after putting her under hypnosis so she would have no memory of it]].

*CompleteMonster: [[AbusiveParents Craddock McDermott]] was an occultist and hypnotist in life who [[SociopathicSoldier got a thrill out of tormenting prisoners in the Vietnam War]], in one instance forcing an officer to [[{{Fingore}} cut off his own fingers]]. Upon his return to the US, Craddock began to sexually abuse his stepdaughters, utilizing hypnosis to make them more willing should they refuse. When one of the girls, Anna, escaped and became the lover of former rockstar Judas "Jude" Coyne, she eventually returned after breaking up with Jude and refused to be Craddock's SexSlave any longer. Craddock convinced her sister Jessica to help murder Anna and make it look like a suicide while also convincing Jessica to [[VillainousIncest allow Craddock to molest Jessica's own daughter Reese]]. When dying, Craddock blamed Jude for taking away what belonged to him and had Jessica trick Jude into purchasing Craddock's ghost by way of a cursed suit. Craddock proceeds to kill Jude's assistant Danny and attempts to murder him and his girlfriend Georgia. At the end, he even possesses Jude's abusive father to torment him, revealing a monstrous sadism and sick cruelty beneath the surface of a seemingly polite, kindly old man.
