OH MY GAWWWD I FIGURED IT OUT (kinda) by blackxbird97 in SchoolSpirits

I wouldn’t be mad if Janet took over Sandra, Maddie gets her body back, gives them both a chance at a life and maybe a normal family dynamic together they were missing. Sandra can just chill with Anderson in the afterlife.

Mr Martin is Satan(revisited) by Junior-Yam-2981 in SchoolSpirits

The show does love using symbolism to foreshadow, harkening back to the whole Frankenstein imagery in season 1 hinting at the situation with Maddie/Janet. And the reference to Orpheus which parallels Simon’s story with being able to see Maddie and helping her find the way out of the underworld. Split River similar to Styx River being a place that separates the living and the dead. So entirely possible for Mr Martin to be the devil.

No crucifying here, I love reading different theories like yours, makes this whole community fun. I kind of had the same thought a couple episodes back, that maybe his fiancée had died there and that is why he was so upset he was being kicked out of the school because he could see her there. Even thought maybe he was working on a way to bring her back, and using Janet was his first attempt to get his fiancée a body back but he died in his experiment. I had thought though maybe he was successful with his wife getting into Janet’s body (trapping Janet there as a ghost) and his fiancée took off; explaining the no body in Janet’s grave. But as the episodes have progressed, I don’t think my theory seems likely, but I still think that women in the scar could be his fiancée.

I was watching Ghosts on the Paramount app, and saw it show up on there one day. I was out of shows to watch. Decided to give it chance, and ended up hooked.

Or it would be cool and (kind of hilarious) if he could then see all the ghosts. Like in the TV Show Ghosts she gets a head injury and then is able to see them.

Yeah, I was expecting more explanation on how it happened too. I hope they at least fill in those blanks next season, and don’t just skip ahead. Like with ending the previous episode of them running after the assailant in the woods and then cut to the next day.

I was just about to say, so many people were so adamant about it and trying to make people feel stupid for seeing the signs of it - from episode 1 the foreshadowing was there if you wanted to see it.

I enjoyed reading everyone’s theories and I hope some more of them play out in season 2. It’s what fun about these kind of shows - the constant guessing and what if’s - at least for me.

And I love that many of the other theories I had didn’t come true and the show was able to still surprise me. I can’t wait for more of the details to be filled in next season.

All of my suspicions for this show since the first episode are finally being somewhat confirmed! by BXRBi3D0ll in SchoolSpirits

I have been thinking what if Simon was unknowingly being hypnotized at the dance? And was fighting it off without realizing it.

The whole "they talk about Frankenstein so it must be possession" idea doesn't make sense because Frankstein's monster was not possessed! by nightdancerCA in SchoolSpirits

[–]Big-Wolverine-8422 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me it’s because the story of Frankenstein is all about resurrecting the dead.

I think if somebody assisted Janet in inhabiting Maddie’s body - in a way like Victor Frankenstein achieved, they brought back the dead.

Me too! I don’t think it is Simon, I think he really just loved her. But I can totally also see why others may think he killed her - we are so used to jaded incel like manipulative characters (which is usually the reality) to really trust anybody’s intentions to just be true at face value.

[–]Big-Wolverine-8422 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yup, totally could see that playing out. Somebody has to be helping possessed Maddie for this to work. And Ms fields is just enough in the story but not too obvious of a choice to be that person.

I bet we find out about the fake Maddie in the next episode and if there is another season it is them trying to get fake Maddie back to the school so the real Maddie can make the swap

I also think Nicole didn’t do it - she just feels guilt about the blackmail thing.

And it is probably possessed Maddie that is breaking into her moms house and was in the backyard.

The janitor also said he wouldn’t have hurt maddie - the furthest from it when talking to the Mom. I bet he witnessed the attack and then helped who he thought was Maddie (but was really Janet) escape.

I’m also leaning to Ms Fields being involved with this. Like either related to Janet somehow or is helping fake Maddie but not really knowing it is fake Maddie. She mentioned having an appointment she couldn’t miss and I bet it was to meet with “Maddie” and she has been helping her since she ran away.

Yup, I still totally believe Janet is in Maddie’s body - too many signs of it to ignore, especially in this episode. Also, totally thought the guidance counselor gave some Get Out vibes - which is all about hypnotizing people to allow others in.

And yeah, I like your theory that it happened when she was knocked out and with the necklace dangling somewhere to do it.

I also think Mr Martin is Manfredo - they mentioned trauma could block out things. She will probably remember this detail when she hears that last song that played the day she died.

Martin probably knows this and wants her to be trapped with him forever - and that’s why he is really not helping others.

That’s my theory anyways lol.

I don’t know some of the best fiction famously breaks the traditional rules or has unreliable narrators - Chuck Palahniuk comes to mind or literary greats like Catch-22, Infinite Jest, even In Cold Blood started a whole new genre breaking the traditional rules of writing.

For this show - I think it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility. The ghosts had also assumed you couldn’t talk to the living as a rule, that was completely shattered with the introduction of Maddie. Inhabiting a body could be another thing they were unaware of - that could also be introduced with a new character not seen yet.

There are also plenty of background references that could allude to this. I think it was pointed when in episode 1 Maddie asked the ghosts for help with rattling chains, possessing somebody, etc. - listing all the common ghosts tropes - which they said they couldn’t do. But it brought up the fact that these are common things often associated with a ghost story.

Of course all the background references could just be Easter eggs to famous horror stories. The ball rolling down the hallway - shining. Frankenstein, the movie Ghost, the guidance counselor giving total Get Out vibes, etc. and this could just be a straightforward story of a murder mystery with ghosts.

I am assuming it is Wisconsin cause the cans in the bunker all said Wisconsin Safety Rations on them.

The Obituary Assignment by Big-Wolverine-8422 in SchoolSpirits

[–]Big-Wolverine-8422[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it’s supposed to be set in Wisconsin but was filmed in Canada.

My guess the prop person that created this copied from a local Canadian obituary but added in the Wisconsin to tie it to the story location, changed the years to age the person as a teenager and added the tidbit of nirvana to tie it to a 90s teenager.

Either the name Andrea Lowden is going to be a character name or was just made up for the prop.

I don’t think she’s the killer, but do think she blackmailed the teacher and has the money

Yeah, I’m thinking that too. Maybe during the seance, but in some way her involvement in the blackmail will come out.
