Nobody saw The Sixth Sense's twist coming until the big reveal... not even Cole, the movie's producer has now confirmed.

Whether Haley Joel Osment's character knew more than he was letting on the whole time was the subject of intense fan debate until Roger Birnbaum laid the matter to rest in 2016 interview with Huffington Post.

The contention centres around that famous "I see dead people" scene, with theorists claiming there was subtext there, particularly when he tells Malcolm (Bruce Willis) that they only see “what they want to see”.

Those who buy this idea also point out how there's no way Cole would have failed to spot the blood stain from the fatal gunshot on Malcolm’s shirt, but according to Birnbaum, the child wasn't in the know the entire time, and the producer was pretty definite on that, shooting down the question with a resounding "no".
