Police Are Useless | |
| A Specter Tale / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Moira's attempts to get the help of the police go nowhere. While they all know who Natali Stretesky is (mostly because they murdered her), they refuse to believe Moira's claims that Natali's ghost is still there. This is despite the fact their town even has an urban legend about her as a ghost. | |

Our Ghosts Are Different: Natali Stretesky seems like a fully formed human being, though she is ultimately a ghost. She's truthfully a flesh-and-blood ghost. | |

Cassandra Truth | |
| A Specter Tale / int_cf92fea8 | comment |
Cassandra Truth: No one believes Moira when she says there's a dead person doing all the murdering. It turns out they are fully aware of who Natali Strestesky was and that most of them killed her and hid her body after she murdered forty people. They just refuse to believe she's come back from the dead. | |

Old, Dark House: The "Lake House" Natali dwells in outside of town. When she wants it to seem presentable, it is, even to outsiders. But in reality, the house is in an irreparable state of decay. | |
