"Ghost Manor" is a single season episode and has no plot connection with other episodes.
The official website is introduced as " Gothic Romance ", and the previous introduction is "This Gothic romantic ghost story is adapted from the work of Henry James and from the creator of "Ghost Invasion".
This is not a ghost story, but a love story, you will understand after reading it.
For those who are interested in the original work, please see Henry James' "The Screw is Tightening"
Attached the English audiobook of "The Screws Are Tightening"
A novella must be adapted into a nine-episode TV series. The content is not rich enough. In addition to the original plot in the book, many elements must be added:
Miss Jessel name is Rebecca, suddenly reminiscent of old black and white film "Rebecca" , there are also large Zhaizi gloomy, serious housekeeper, as well as at the beginning of the novel already dead mistress Rebecca .
Interestingly, Viola also hung her large oil painting on the wall.
The doll house is the darling of horror movies, and this custom-made expensive doll house is even more hidden.
As for the touching love in the play, if Henry James, who has an insight into female psychology, read it, I don't know what to think.
Who is the woman who tells the story at the beginning? The ninth episode reveals the answer
The life experience of the faceless female ghost in the lake? Just watch the eighth episode

Strange song from the beginning of the 1961 adaptation of " innocent people " (at The Innocents) episode
As the theme song of the show, it will appear later, with the lyrics alluding to the ending of Jamie and Dany.
We lay my love and I,
Beneath the weeping willow.
But now alone I lie,
And weep beside the tree
Singing'o Willow Waly',
By the tree that weeps with me.
Singing'o Willow Waly',
Till my lover returns to me.
We lay my love and I,
Beneath the weeping willow.
But now alone I lie,
Oh, Willow I die.
Oh, Willow I die.
Me and my love
Lying under the weeping willow tree
I'm the only one left now
Lying next to the willow tree and crying
Sing "Oh Sad Willow"
Willow also followed me in tears
Sing "Oh Sad Willow"
Until the lover comes back to me
Me and my love
Lying under the weeping willow tree
I'm the only one left now
Oh willow i'm going to die
Oh willow i'm going to die
A gravity well is a gravitational field surrounding a certain celestial body. This clue will be revealed in the eighth episode.
Episode children
The pastor explained the differences between the three gospels in class, and the content was quite interesting:
There was a large group of pigs eating the defiler on the mountain, so he begged Jesus to send us to the pigs and attach pigs to the herd. Jesus gave them permission and the demon came out and went into the pigs. So the group of pigs went down the cliff and drowned in the lake.
The passage the pastor told Miles to read
"John 16:22"
So you now indeed have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy, no man shall take from you.
Now you also have sorrows, but if I see you again, your hearts will be happy. No one can take away your joy.
Two faces in the third episode (part 1)
Kensington's custom clothing store and luxury car logo indicate the identity of the owner.
And Peter Quint’s episode is the 80s version of Tainted Love , Soft Cell . The lyrics are as follows
Sometimes I feel I've got to Run away I've got to Get away From the pain you drive in the heart of me The love we share Seems to go nowhere And I've lost my light For I toss and turn I can' t sleep at night
Once I ran to you (I ran) Now I run from you This tainted love you've given I'll give you all a boy could give you Take my tears and that's not nearly all Tainted love, oh Tainted love
Now I know I've got to Run away I've got to Get away You don't really want any more from me To make things right Need someone to hold you tight And you'll think love is to pray But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
The lyrics just confirm the story of Quint and Rebecca
The fourth episode of the road to time
The opening episode is Steve Winwood's version of Higher Love , released in 1986 (a year later, Dany came to London to apply)
Think about it, there must be higher love Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above Without it, life is wasted time Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere In this whole world, what is fair? We walk blind and we try to see Falling behind in what could be
Bring me a higher love Bring me a higher love (oh oh) Bring me a higher love Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?
Worlds are turning and we're just hanging on Facing our fear and standing out there alone A yearning, and it's real to me There must be someone who's feeling for me
The lyrics reflect Dany ’s desire for higher love and pave the way for the two behind to break up
Episode altar of the dead
Hannah mentioned "Upstairs and Downstairs" in an interview with Irving (1971 BBC edition)
Two quotes from Shakespeare:
"Romeo and Juliet"
The sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness. And in its taste confounds the appetite.
The sweetest honey tastes the most greasy, but it ruins the appetite (here refers to the love between Quint and Rebecca)
"Hamlet"
To sleep, to sleep perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub. For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil.
I’m asleep, I’m asleep, maybe I still dream of dreams. The obstacle is here, because in the sleep of death, when we get rid of the rotten skin, what dreams will we have (the drama in this episode)
Eighth episode clothes romantic
The content of this episode comes from Henry James’ short story "The Romance of Certain Old Clothes", which tells anecdotes about the Willoughby family. Although the plot has changed, the core is still a weird gothic ghost story. .
The priest asked Viola to read the prayer, the paragraph that Viola refused to read:
"New Testament: Gospel of John"
I go, and prepare a place for you. And I will come again, and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may also be
If I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again to pick you up to me, so that where I am, you will be there.
There is also a prayer in Latin, which does not seem to have subtitles
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, amen. Prínceps glorisistima cæléstis milítiæ, Sáncte Míchael Archángele, defénde...
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen, the Archangel Michael, the king of the heavenly army, protect us...
Episode ninth jungle beast
In "White Christmas", the protagonist embarks on a journey to Vermont, and Danny and Jamie also choose to live there
The movie Danny and Jamie watched is Audrey Hepburn's "Dragon and Phoenix" in 1954 .
Owen’s restaurant is called "A BUTTER PLACE", a pun for A Better Place. This is what he said to Hannah before
The ending episode is I Shall Believe by Sheryl Crow, and the lyrics are as follows:
Come to me now And lay your hands over me Even if it's a lie Say it will be alright And I shall believe
I'm broken in two And I know you're on to me That I only come home When I'm so all alone But I do believe
That not everything is gonna be the way You think it ought to be It seems like every time I try to make it right It all comes down on me Please say honestly you won't give up on me And I shall believe And I shall believe
Open the door And show me your face tonight I know it's true No one heals me like you And you hold the key
Never again Would I turn away from you I'm so heavy tonight But your love…
The lyrics are really in time, perfectly splendid with the picture!
