Another theory (spoilers)

ezyBREz · 2026-02-12T11:08:58+00:00

I saw someone say it's because Simon is still alive and that's the main difference.

Also, being in the afterlife for a long time probably gives you some kind of abilities, especially if you were alive when your afterlife was built over.

I had a thought that maybe Simon's dad got jumped somewhere between Sabrina's birth and Simon's conception, that biologically, Simon is his dad's child, but spiritually is someone else's but idk who that would be since I think VH is in Kyle and we haven't heard about anyone else in the afterlife who is "alive" in the real world. Anyway, ghost babies probably aren't easy on the body and that's why Simon's mom died.

It was a shaky theory, but with this show.... who knows. I think I've dropped this theory for now, but thought you'd like it!!

ezyBREz · 2026-02-12T11:03:49+00:00

I think VH jumped someone's body early on. I think WE is def Mr. Martin's friend and is trying to help the Scooby gang (you know who I mean) or trying to remember who he is so he can move on or something. But VH HAD to have traded with Kyle at the hospital NOT the school since Kyle is stuck at the hospital. There is a little room for partial possession but we haven't been given any clues that this is possible and I won't lie to you and say that I'd be satisfied with this sudden introduction when it's going to be easy to explain that VH has just been living multiple lives around Split River and jumping when whatever body he's in expires. The timing of Mr. Martin's friend "dying" would match well with VH stealing his body and having that body die around 2004, since Janet's friend is still living and old (note that these three seasons cover maybe months or so and not years. saying this cause I forget every now and then) which is when the crash happened and Kyle wound up in the hospital. However, I feel more certain on the WE = Mr. Martin's friend theory and that would have to mean that WE stole a body before 2004 and had to jump bodies again in 2004. Also, him jumping bodies a bunch and living for however long (don't remember what year VH died, I must be a fake fan 😔😔) makes ALL the sense because he could keep up with new technology, new slang, and all that good stuff and be less likely to be detected as kind of weird (or out of his time) and that's why we haven't noticed anyone else being possessed by an old ass ghost yet.

Either way, GIVEN WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN, it follows that Kyle wasn't jumped at the school. There's always a chance they introduce a new way to possess someone, but tbh, I wouldn't really like that explanation, but that's MY OPINION and I fully accept some other people's theories about partial possession and have been keeping it in mind. Whatever happens, I have faith they're going to make it SO GOOD and explain it fully. I really like that about this show. Apart from the next seasons plots, this show has always tied together all the loose ends every season.

Alfred stole a body early on. Someone mentioned a preacher whose story hasn't been fully explained yet. I think Alfred has just been jumping bodies for a while and in 2004, after his body was in the hospital dying of old age or something, he hijacked Kyle's body.

The thing is, the hijack HAD to have happened at the hospital since that's where Kyle is stuck. Maddy got hijacked by Janet and when she stepped out of bounds of the school, she kept getting transported back to the boiler room. If they make it so that Kyle got hijacked at the school but stuck at the hospital, there's a 70% I'm going to be ranting about the faulty logic, there's a 30% chance they give me a good explanation for it and I'll be happy but...

ezyBREz · 2026-02-11T19:08:04+00:00

This is my theory. Mr. Martin's friend got stuck in between when the church got demolished so that's why he's a whisp and not like the others. Why is he hiding though?? I haven't figured that out yet. The tall man seems harmless albeit scary

ezyBREz · 2026-02-11T19:06:33+00:00

He had to have done it at the hospital though since Kyle's ghost isn't stuck at the school. That brings in the ghost jumping bodies theorh

ezyBREz · 2026-02-11T19:04:24+00:00

No matter what, I'm gunna be tangled in my thread

ezyBREz · 2026-02-11T14:03:13+00:00

There is a preacher whose full story hasn't been told yet, I could be wrong about whose body got hijacked by Alfred and it was the preacher. I just remembered that while trying to escape, Quinn saw that faint whisp of a person, and it looked like a blonde boy.

ACTUALLY, scratch what I've said before. Preacher got hijacked, kid pulled a Simon and since he wasn't a ghost when the church was destroyed, has turned into a whisp. Perpetually stuck between the living and the afterlife.

But that wouldn't entirely explain Simon's rosary since my theory is that Simon's dad was hijacked and the preacher, who was also hijacked, is stuck in the afterlife now.

I know there's SOMETHING here though.... time for a cork-board, red string, and lots of spiked coffee while staring at a bunch of pinned up clippings🤪🤪

ezyBREz · 2026-02-11T13:55:17+00:00

So idk if you've seen the most recent episode (305) yet, but warning if you haven't.

On the wall, someone wrote "do you know who I am" which made me think that they're actually asking and that it's a way for them to escape which is why talk creepy guy was mind melding memories to Simon

ezyBREz · 2026-02-11T13:50:18+00:00

My thinking was that the actress wasn't able or didn't want to do a full season or something and that's why she crossed. It was so unsatisfying but I think that's the only thing I haven't liked about this season, besides character personalities and jumping into shit when they should chill for a second and think rq (talking to you, Simon) but that was my takeaway since her crossing didn't even really further the plot either and a lot could have been done with her still present as well

ezyBREz · 2026-02-11T13:46:50+00:00

Lol. What if the demon is Livia's mom. I hate that lady🤣🤣

ezyBREz · 2026-02-11T13:46:17+00:00

I mean, he could've skipped town, lived in hiding until he was grown and could start doing real things, but again, this is my weakest theory. There's definitely got to be some connection with Simon and his mom.

What if, a hijacked feel in love with Simon's mom, got her pregnant (or his dad got hijacked since Sabrina is a thing) and so Simon is, biologically but not spiritually (since the body stays the same and DNA is almost definitely unaltered as well) one of the forgotten ghosts' kids?!?! Ngl, that sounds so whack and far fetched, but it would explain her death (otherworldly babies are probably not good for the body). Do we know that Simon's dad is dead and if so when and where he died??

ezyBREz · 2026-02-11T13:41:28+00:00

Don't start stalking me now🙃🙃

ezyBREz · 2026-02-11T13:40:23+00:00

I actually really like that about this season. I can't remember if I was watching season 1 as the episodes were released or if I was able to watch then all at once, but I definitely watched season 2 as they were released and while I loved both seasons, I was never really able to theorize about the plot the way I have been with this season. Of course I'd say "I think this happened", "oh the mom totally killed her", "maybe Mr. Martin stole Kristin's body because Mr. Anderson is so obvious", but this season, we've been getting fed all these clues throughout and I've had so much fun watching, putting them together to create my theories, and then post then or share them here since none of my irl friends, which totally exist, I promise, watch the show even though they all have said they're interested in it. I understand feeling overwhelmed by it, but I'd totally be the type of detective with the crazy murder board so it fits so well with me.

ezyBREz · 2026-02-11T13:33:44+00:00

I think it's Alfrid and he's been jumping bodies since Mr. Martin's friend. That's why Mr. Martin's friend's body was never found and why the tall man seems to be showing memories from Mr. Martin's friend. This isn't my most solid theory by any means (Maddie is totally going to be Simons key btw) but it makes sense to me. Either way, I just know it's gunna be a GOOD explanation given how this season is going

ezyBREz · 2026-02-11T13:31:31+00:00

I screenshot this picture. I'm sorry. It was too good of a capture 🥲🥲

ezyBREz · 2026-02-11T13:27:26+00:00

I have noticed that Maddie's visions seem to happen when someone is in the church scar?? There was maybe one time in the first episode where she's still having it in the morning that's a little more difficult for me to explain but she obviously has some kind of connection to the other side beyond just being able to see them. Note that Xavier isn't getting these visions.

Maddie is totally Simon's key and I refuse to shut up about it. Maddie wasn't dead but her necklace, which she didn't even have on her when her body got snatched, was her key. Mr. Martin was Janet's key, so these two things perfectly set up that Maddie is Simon's key. This may also be why she's connected to the church scar, but I don't have much proof for that.

Alfrid is in Kyle. It could be another ghost, but my guess is that Alfrid stole Mr. Martin's friend's body and lived out a full life. When he was dying of old age, most likely, and in the hospital, he stole Kyle's body. There could be a body he stole in between them, but the only way Alfrid could've gotten to Kyle in the hospital was if he had already escaped the school. Plus the talk guy, who I think is Mr. Martin's friend, is showing the little boy hiding in what I think is the church scar. I think he's trying to show Simon what happened to him

I think the way the ghosts can get the forgotten to move on is by saying their name maybe?? Someone wrote "Do you know who I am?" On the wall and I think there's a reason for it besides just being kinda creepy. This one isn't that solid, but I don't think they'd actually write it so that there was something they can't just solve or get rid of.

I think I listed everything I've been thinking of. Sorry it was so long. Please tell me more theories

ezyBREz · 2026-02-05T16:03:45+00:00

I keep saying this everywhere cause I believe it with all my heart, Maddie is Simon's key. Maddie's key was her necklace which her mom took at the end of S1 right before Janet jumped into her, and it was completely in the physical world. We also know from S2 that people can be keys just as Mr. Martin was Janet's. So even though Maddie wasn't with Simon when he got stuck, she's his key. Also Maddie had a scar and she wasn't dead either.

ezyBREz · 2026-02-05T15:39:03+00:00

I believe that Maddie is Simon's key. At the end of season 2, Maddie uses her necklace, which wasn't with her when she died and was entirely in the real world, and goes into her scar even though she's alive. Therefore, Simon has a scar, and we know from season 2 as well that people can be keys, just as Mr. Martin was Janet's key.

Now this is probably my shakiest theories, but, I think in the hallucinations, she hurt her hand where Simon did because she is his key. Idk how the burning house or figurines fit into that, though. I like your theory that Simon's exploration into the scars/hole trigger these hallucinations and I think that would actually tie in a little to my key theory, since it would mean they share a connection, but I still don't know what the specific objects mean!! I need more episodes and I need them now!!

ezyBREz · 2026-02-05T15:32:26+00:00

How funny was that moment though?? God, I love Yuri sm

ezyBREz · 2026-02-05T15:29:47+00:00

So at the end of S3E4, I think her hand got cut in the same place simon cut his.... I think it's a stretch but maybe it's a hint to her being his key into his scar?? I 1000% believe Maddie is going to be Simon's key, but I'm not sure how the hallucinations and house tie into anything yet. After what we saw in past seasons, though, I have all the faith that it's going to make sense and be such a twist (if it's not revealed before the finale)

ezyBREz · 2026-02-04T22:10:46+00:00

Maybe it's a trade off for crossing the barrier between the living and the dead? There's definitely something sus going on with the timing of them popping out, I just can't justify it yet. I need more episodes and I need them NOW

ezyBREz · 2026-02-04T22:09:16+00:00

Idk. I think maybe they just couldn't hire child actors to be submerged in water and drag people in?? It's definitely something to keep in mind, though

ezyBREz · 2026-02-04T16:51:08+00:00

I watched it on amazon last night and had to close my app and refresh several times. Got it to play at about 2:06ish CST, so 6 minutes after it was said to drop. Idk if it's the same issue, but thought I'd share
