The Haunting Of Hill House: 10 Scariest Moments

Episode: 1x1 - Steven Sees A Ghost

In the final scene of the first episode, Steven returns home to his apartment. After running into Luke on the stairs - and sending him on his way to score heroin with some of his equipment and money - Steven finds Nell in his apartment. While talking to her, his phone rings. It's his dad, Hugh. It's revealed that Nell has committed suicide. Steven - and the audience - both realise that it's Nell's ghost who's been waiting in his apartment.

He turns around, and Nell in his standing before him. She opens her mouth, her face twisting in agony, and just before she can scream... she disappears. The first episode ends. Time to catch your breath.

There's also a nice bit of spoken foreshadowing when Steven first sees Nell after turning on the lights. "Thanks. I needed a good scare."
