Wouldn't the mom detect right away this house had bad vibes and not purchase it from the get go??????
as well they intended on buying and renovating flipping the house to buy their dream home.
A house that the surrounding town knows it haunted wouldn't be a smart resell move let alone if they're buying this size of a house i'd imagine they already had the money to buy their dream home to begin with.
thoughts?
Its entirely possible they bought the house sight unseen....Thats How The majority of Flippers do it....
Its also clear that The Mom was being manipulated literally from the moment she walked in as That one Evil ghost wanted her to kill her children
But I think the best explanation given that the mom has some sort of gift to see/feel the Supernatural is they bought the house sight unseen, The mom got there, probably senses somethng, didnt know it was Evil immediately and then was being Manipulated before she even knew it
I would have to agree with the sight unseen. And yes, I would imagine if they could afford this their Dream House couldn't be that far out of reach. I mean how could it be??
shareEverything you're bringing up, basically dissolves the show's thin plot, and makes there be zero reason for any of the things that occur in the story, to have occurred. That is, in my humble opinion, one of the writer/story-tellers TOP jobs, is to make sure that in telling the story, you give the reader/audience compelling, actually sensible REASONS for things to be happening.
We are not given any background whatsoever about the family, other than the parents "flip" houses for a living (which IMO is not a great way to make a living, let alone raise a family). But yes, they likely had money enough to build their "dream home". Then again, maybe Hill House came damn cheap specifically BECAUSE no one wanted creepy death-trap, except for a naive couple who decide to bring their five innocent kids to one of the most evil places on earth.
Basically, the questions you're asking are requiring far more thought and explanation than the creators of this show were obviously ever prepared to put time into, much less give.
