Summary of the Haunting of Hill HouseThe parents Hugh Crain, the fixer, and Olivia Crain, the architect, buy an unknowingly haunted house in Boston, Massachusetts to renovate one last time before building their "forever home". Their five children, Steve, Shirley, Theodora, Luke, and Nellie, each experience supernatural phenomena within the house at night. After Olivia commits suicide, the family is forced to leave Hill House but the trauma follows them well into adulthood. Decades later, Nellie commits suicide in the same house and the Crain family is once again forced to return to the house and face their fears. Mr. and Mrs. Crain Olivia Crain possesses a psychic power which allows her to see the ghosts in the house and communicate with them during the day. Unfortunately, a malignant spirit within the house drives her insane, which leads her to kill herself. Hugh Crain is forced to take his family away from the house after Olivia tries to kill herself and her youngest children in an effort to "wake them up" and keep their ghosts in the house forever. The Crain ChildrenSteven Crain is the eldest in the Crain family and is the most skeptical towards the ghosts haunting Hill House. As a child, he does not experience any supernatural occurrences within the house. As a result, he becomes an author, most known for writing about Hill House and its horrors, by using his siblings' stories. Since he does not believe in the supernatural, he thinks his siblings are mentally ill. Shirley Crain is the second oldest in the family and a control-freak. As a child, she is touched by death the most in her family and this leads to her owning her own funeral home. She gets married and has a son and daughter, but it is revealed that she is not as perfect as she seems. Theodora Crain is the middle child of the family and possesses a psychic power passed down to her by her mother. When she touches people, she is able to feel what they feel and learn things about them, including their burdens. As a result, she refrains from forming connections with people and wears gloves all the time to do so. Luke and Nellie Crain are twin siblings and are the youngest in the Crain family. Luke is older than Nellie, but both children experience horrific supernatural things within the house. Luke is haunted by the ghost of William Hill and Nellie by a woman she calls "the bent-neck lady". The Mysteries of Hill House ExplainedThe Red RoomThe red room is different things to different people within the house. Olivia sees it as a reading room, Steve sees it as a gaming room, Luke sees it as a treehouse, Theo sees it as a dance room, Shirley sees it as a family room, Nellie sees it as a toy room, but Hugh doesn't see it as anything but a room to which there is no key. The room is different things to each person in the house because it keeps them sane in the insane living environment that surrounds them. In the finale, Nellie says the red room is like the heart of the house, but then corrects herself to say it is more like the stomach. She says this because the room may seem like a safe haven for each person, but in reality, the room is a way to keep the inhabitants of the house cooperative. The family endures many horrors within the house because the house and the ghosts within it want to collect spirits. The Bent-Neck LadyThroughout the series, an ominous shadow who appears to be a woman with a broken neck follows Nellie. The shocking twist comes in episode 5 of the series when it is revealed that Nellie is the Bent-Neck lady. When Nellie commits suicide in the house by falling off a ledge and breaking her neck, she falls through different events in her life but this time she sees things from the perspective of the Bent-Neck lady. Nellie explains the reason this is possible and says that time within the house is non-linear. Nellie's ghost is in the house at the same time her child self is in the house and she appears to herself in an effort to warn herself and her family about the house. She, however, is unable to control what time in her life she falls into and this is why she appears to herself as a child and an adult. The Ghost With the Bowler HatThe ghost with the bowler hat is actually William Hill. It is revealed that he bricked himself into the wall in the 1940s. Hugh finds his body, along with his cane, in the basement while trying to fix the mold infestation. As a child, Luke finds a bowler hat in a box of things and takes it. Hill's ghost begins roaming the house every night in search of his bowler hat and once he finds it on top of Luke's bed, Hill's ghost begins haunting him and continues to do so into Luke's adult life.
