** It would make sense if they ''did'' see the bodies. The shock and emotional trauma of that could have caused them all to imagine their fathers as alive, much like Pete's fantasies which only occur when he's significantly stressed.
*** Strangely enough, this could explain why Roy Tinns in particular appeared to the kids even though Frances admitted to Pete that she had no idea whose mining hat it was; they would only have imagined someone they knew.

* How come the kids never came across their fathers' corpses? Chet recognised the area they got caved in as the area the original accident happened, after all, and Pete did say the bodies were still there (albeit that could have been what he imagined the mine to be like at the time).

* How do the kids manage to communicate with the miners, considering that we know for sure that the dads are dead, but (according to Miner Twitchell) the kids aren't dead - 'not yet'. Also, unlike the Alamo heroes, all five kids see all the miners at the same time and not just their respective parents (as evidenced by Dusty being able to talk to both Miner Twitchell and Roy Tinns). The most plausible explanation therefore is that the kids met the ''ghosts'' of their fathers, but then how are they able to physically hug them?
