Translation?

The language spoken by Carmel (through Stella) is Spanish (which makes sense, since Carmel was not simply a gypsy; she was a Spanish gypsy). The first word Stella/Carmel utters seems to be "oiga" which can be translated as "listen", "hear", or "Hey!" Sounds to me like a plea for attention--which would be logical.

To my regret--because I love it--I haven't seen this movie very recently, so I don't remember any of the other Spanish words in the séance.



You knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred.

Someone - two people, really - were nice enough to translate what is being said but I can't believe those posts and comments are gone! What the heck happened? What Carmel is basically saying is "listen, listen. It's not her. She's lying. Thief. Thief of my love/affection". Carmel is trying to tell them that Mary isn't Stella's mother . (There's a sentence somewhere in the middle that no one seems to be able to translate.) Hope this helps a little.
