!! This film exhibits the following tropes:
* ElectromagneticGhosts: The ghosts are occasionally heralded by flickering lights, fuzzy TV displays, and radios switching stations. This is somewhat muddled with Ethan's machine causing its own electrical disturbances due to its power draw.
* LivingShadow: When the ghosts become visible, this is their form, three-dimensional beings of shadow with glowing eyes.
* PromotionToParent: Ethan becomes a parent to his two younger siblings. [[spoiler:And by the end of the scene, Hannah is acting as their mother]].
