The Haunting Of Hill House: 9 Questions We Desperately Need Answers To
3. Did Nell Kill Arthur?
Nell had been haunted by the Bent Neck Lady ever since she was a child. As an adult, she met Arthur who helped her overcome her ‘sleep paralysis’ which included her seeing the Bent Neck Lady again.
Nell was experiencing another episode when Arthur got up to help and suddenly died after suffering an aneurysm. Many people think it was triggered by him finally seeing the Bent Neck Lady himself, considering she was there.
But it makes you wonder if that’s true. We know that the Bent Neck Lady is actually Nell, so why would she kill her own husband? In the final episode, she explained that time isn’t linear, so maybe she was just revisiting all the defining moments of her life when she died.
