Something I've been wondering about -

So, by the end of this, we can distinguish two separate lines of supernatural activity - the primary being the house and its time-fuckery and people-devouring etc etc. However, we also know that Olivia has migraines of a mysterious sort, and during Theo's episode Olivia talks as if Theo's sensitivity comes from her blood.

So - should we be assuming that Olivia's magical bloodline is related to the house in some way? Or, is this just a universe where Magic poo poo Happens, and a family w magic blood happened to move into a haunted house.

Did I miss anything that clarifies this? Or are these just dangling threads to seduce a sequel?

Agreed, and I don't really think it matters. I'm watching it a second time through tho and can't help but geek out about the lore lol. 100% agree though that the family drama is the most important thing. trauma is as scary or scarier than ghosts. hauntology etc etc. a lot of the family sequences, esp. w/ the dad finally speaking on the past, and the twins being indivisible, hit me way deeper than any of the spookiness.
