History Fridge / AnyasGhost

** Emily's VagueAge and looking young and skinny makes sense when you learn that Emily was an Irish immigrant and likely poor; she was probably small and slight due to malnutrition.

* Sean's nature of being lecherous is Foreshadowed when he acts openly nice to Anya when she's wearing her shirt open, exposing her cleavage.

* There's a subtle hint that Emily's lying about what caused her death, when she talks about being engaged and her fiancee dying in the First World War. Even after she starts growing her hair out, she simply looks too young to have been engaged, even for the 1910s; if she was near Anya's age, she would have only been in her teens now, making her even younger during World War I.

* Emily's story of how she was murdered (as [[BlatantLies untrue as it may be]]) actually [[HistoryRepeats mimics]] what happens throughout the story and at the climax. According to Emily, her family so innocently let in a [[FauxAffablyEvil seemingly nice]] stranger in their home, learned that the stranger was a murderous psychopath who killed her parents, he chased Emily into the woods, and her story ends with falling down the well. Anya brought Emily into her home, was kind to her without knowing the truth, then learned the truth about Emily and Emily attempted to kill Sasha and Mrs. Borzakovskaya when she did, and Anya fled from Emily chasing her into the park. And in the end Anya throws the bone -- Emily -- back down the well.

* In the end,[[spoiler: Anya has the well with Emily's bones buried. However, what's brilliant is that she isn't just making sure no one gets hurt and/or killed if they fall down the well, or giving her friend a proper burial. Unintentionally, she's giving Emily a burial ''in an unmarked grave'', just like a real murderer.]]
* At one point, [[spoiler: after she turns on Anya, Emily scares Sasha to tears. Seems like a case of RevengeByProxy and she's trying to spite Anya through her brother. But second time reading it, things become clear! Just a little while ago, Sasha found her bone and put it away in his specimen box. Emily wasn't just being mean for the sake of it, she's doing it in retaliation for (momentarily) compromising her freedom to move around the house.]]

** What's more, Emily's life ended with falling down the well. [[spoiler: It's only fitting that her afterlife as a ghost BookEnds with her bones falling down the well one last time as she moves on.]]

* Anya clearly has body dysmorphia. She thinks she's extremely fat but isn't. Because of the bullying she had when she was younger, she has body dysmorphia. Brrr....

* Wouldn't [[spoiler: Emily's bones]] be discovered at the end?
** Not likely. [[spoiler:They probably broke into bits when they fell back into the well once Emily's spirit departed. And Anya didn't say anything about the skeleton when she was rescued, so everyone else probably took her word for it that there was nothing special down there before they filled the well up.]]
* [[spoiler: How did the newspaper get a picture of Emily looking all murderous and deranged if she fled the scene of the murder right after?]]
** [[spoiler: Maybe it's simply her looking disgruntled or deranged as she was. It's not too far off to imagine that even before she burned the couple, she may have had murderous tendencies. Maybe even more so than Anya.]]

* Emily seems to dislike that Anya [[BystanderSyndrome stand by while Dima is bullied]], because in her time, "your people were like family." This is both a product of the time, given how immigrants were treated, but especially with Emily, who was Irish descent and thus among those who would've been discriminated against.
