* Since it's confirmed that ghosts can physically interact with and kill living beings, how come Constance hasn't been killed yet? I mean, seriously, she's pissed off the entire Harmon family, Chad, Patrick, Hayden and some of the other ghosts (like the home-invaders) just seem to like a spot of murder. How is she still able to walk in and out of that house? It's like the prison warden spending the night in jail.

*** Tate ''hasn't'' been dead for over two decades. Tate died in 1994 which would make him dead seventeen years in 2011 and he was about seventeen at the time of his death. Presumably either Constance was exaggerating since he was dead around the same amount of time or he's been dead for a few days/weeks/months longer than he lived. And Adelaide was a child in 1978 so of course she'd be around when Tate was older.

*** Confirmed.



* How is it possible that Constance has a photograph of Tate and Addie together. Judging from when Addie was a little girl she should not have been old enough to appear as an adult in a photo together with Tate, because Tate has been dead for over two decades (in Re-birth) Constance says Tate has been in his grave for longer than he was alive. He died in high school so how is it possible that the picture even exists. Unless ghosts can be photographed...
** Addie was older than she looked. We saw for sure that she and Tate were alive together during the flashback to him burning Larry.

** The nurses seem too intent on being scary to converse or make friends. A lot of ghost seem to have snapped or remain on loop in the house, kind of like how Nora keeps going back and forth from being sane(ish) and weeping over the loss of her child.

** I think it depends on if the ghost knows he/she is dead. [[spoiler: Tate can change since he doesn't know he's dead and would be in different outfits each theorpy session.]] While Gladys knows she's dead therefore is always in what she died in.
