Opinion: The Death of Mrs. Crain

Episode one begins with the Crain Family living at the Hill House, also known as the most haunted house in America. In the series, four siblings have encountered many experiences during your childhood which can not be explained and with no luck,they have a mother and a father that do not believe what they are experiencing. In a particular scene in episode 3, Carla Gugino, who plays the role of the mother, Olivia Crain, has migraines and these migraines allow her to see and sense energies about people, objects, and certain situations. Maybe this ability has a certain connection to her own death. During episode one, Mr. Crain awakes his children to tell him that they need to leave the house and never look back and takes his three girls, Shirley, Theodora, Nell and his one boy, Luke, to his station wagon while he looks for this other son, Steve. When he finally returns with Steve, all of the children turn to him to ask about their mom to which he does not answer and drives away. Steven Crain, the eldest son, says that he sees their mom looking down from the window on the second floor and his father responds by saying to not look at her because that is not their mother. Ultimately, he never told his children what had happened to their mom and later on in life, when he did, he told them that their mom was mentally ill and that she had passed away without clarifying any details. But, this raises a false flag! Mr.Cain does not believe the paranormal encounters that his children had experienced but all of a sudden one night he tells Luke, while waiting to take him to the car, that he is afraid of the house and then when they get the car tell his children they have to go without bringing their mother along with them? That to me sounds a little too fishy and the dad should positively be labeled as a suspect. And in episode 1, it is made known that, as adults, Nell Cain died under mysterious circumstances. Consequently, that night, Nell called her father and asked if he was okay to which the change of scene shows Nell parked in front of her childhood home. Next, and Older Mr. Crain gets up from his bed and goes to visit his daughter which is then presumed dead by her father but will not disclose the information surrounding her death to his other children. This is the second time he does this to his family and without any explanation. It seems more like we have a murder mystery in front of us than just mere ghost stories. Yes, the Hill House was in fact haunted but maybe there was something more dark at the time, maybe the stresses surrounding their new home mixed in with the hauntings caused a younger Mr. Crain to become mentally ill and murder his wife. This is just something we will have to see as the show goes on!
