* Later, the same little girl is singing "Jesus Loves Me" as her mother walks down the hall. She comes in and we - but not her - see that the rocking chair in the corner of the room has been moving on its own as the daughter sings to Jodie. When the little girl complains her mother scared Jodie away and she went out the window, the mother goes to look in order to demonstrate Jodie is imaginary, only to be greeted by [[RedEyesTakeWarning two glowing red eyes staring back at her.]] Keep in mind this is a second-story window with nothing outside to stand on.
