After reading the analysis of n versions, no one line alone can make a reasonable explanation. If all lines exist, then the film will become a farce. It seems that there is only one explanation that is more reasonable. There is a woman who is so ugly that she can scare the ghost to death. The husband and the child are frightened by this face for a long time, so the husband goes crazy and the child has schizophrenia.
Jack Nicholson's acting skills are quite good, nothing to say! Facial expressions alone can interpret a perversion incisively and vividly.
Later, I learned that the changes to the original work were quite large. I guess the screenwriter was embarrassed to admit that his various explanations were unclear, so he had to use mystery to open up everyone's imagination.
I say that nonsensical scary does not mean scary. I suggest you to watch "Hypnosis" in Japan. It is innocent and scary, but it is truly horrible.
