The Haunting Of Hill House: 9 Questions We Desperately Need Answers To

1. Who Was Holding Theo’s Hand?

Young Theo felt a hand holding hers whilst she was in bed. She assumed it was Nell’s, but when she turned around nobody was there. “Whose hand was I holding?” she asks, to no-one in particular, which is a line/scene directly taken from the book.

A lot of people have theorised that this scene is a ghost awakening Theo’s supernatural ability for the first time. But others suspect it actually was Nell bouncing through time, either as the Bent Neck Lady or that time she disappeared for a while as a child in episode six.

Either way, Theo’s question was never answered. Maybe it’s better that way.
