The Haunting of Bly Manor	comment	The Haunting of Bly Manor is the second season of the Thematic Series The Haunting, following The Haunting of Hill House (2018). This time, its time-spanning ghost story adapts the works of Henry James, specifically The Turn of the Screw and The Romance of Certain Old Clothes. It is again created and directed by Mike Flanagan, and features the return of several actors from Hill House: Victoria Pedretti (as Dani Clayton), Oliver Jackson-Cohen (as Peter Quint), Henry Thomas (as Henry Wingrave), Carla Gugino (as the Storyteller), Kate Siegel (as Viola Lloyd) and Catharine Parker (as Perdita Lloyd).In the 1980s, Dani Clayton (Pedretti) leaves America for England, and begins to work as an au pair for orphans Miles (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) and Flora (Amelie Smith). As Dani slowly gets to know the children and their trauma, she also begins to unravel the dark history of Bly Manor and its inhabitants.The full series began streaming on Netflix in October 2020. It is followed by the third installment in the series, though not premiering under the Haunting title, The Fall of the House of Usher (2023), in October 2023.

The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_14ed6ab7	type	Does This Remind You of Anything?
The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Owen's mother's dementia is contrasted at various times with the condition of the ghostly and/or ghost-possessed people at Bly Manor. Owen's speech about the unreliability of her memories towards the end is frequently juxtaposed with Hannah and Flora's experiences of time loss and confusion in particular. Dani being cursed by Viola/The Lady in the Lake and her and Jamie's relationship despite that mirrors that of being with someone who has a fatal illness. Peter's attempts as a ghost to possess young Miles read a lot like sexual abuse. He's a trusted authority figure who is lying to Miles about what he's really doing by framing it as wanting to play a game with him, a game that Miles finds upsetting and uncomfortable, and which drives him to behave in troubling, unchildlike ways (including unusually sexual behaviour for a young boy). This is made even worse by the hints that Peter himself was sexually abused by his own father.

She also gets elements incorrect, like the belief that Dani's spirit is stuck at Bly Manor. The latter is disproven when Dani's hand is visible on her shoulder in the final shot, which softens the tragedy slightly.

He never tells her this out guilt and respect for his brother, who figured out the truth but still regarded Flora as his daughter.

It gets even sadder when it's revealed that Edmund was actually an Unlucky Childhood Friend. Dani did love Edmund but she wasn't in love with him, because she's a lesbian; she initially couldn't bring herself to tell him because she didn't want to hurt him.

Additionally, Perdita outright murders her sister here, something neither she nor Viola came close to doing in the original short story (there, Perdita simply dies due to complications from childbirth). Quint's ghost was Ambiguously Evil in The Turn of the Screw; the governess only assumes ill intent because he's a ghost, and it's unknown what he actually wants. Quint here is a major antagonist, albeit one shown to be quite complicated.

The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: The surname of the manor's family, which is not given in the original story, is said here to be Wingrave. This name is taken from the noble family featured in the 1885 revision of Henry James's The Romance of Certain Old Clothes. When the show eventually adapts that story, the family there is given their original surname of Willoughby. James also used that surname in his short story Owen Wingrave, which is how the cook here gets his first name. Many readers of The Turn of the Screw have interpreted Peter's corrupting influence over Miles to have been partly sexual in nature. The Haunting of Bly Manor flips this on its head by having a wholesome same-sex romance between Dani and Jamie be one of the good influences that helps overcome the evil in the house. The reveal that Peter was sexually abused by his father as a child might be seen as a nod to this interpretation of the source material. Peter and Rebecca tell Flora and Miles to think of their "Forever House." This was the same term meaningfully used by Olivia Crain in the previous series. Hannah passes a message to Owen through Henry’s spirit as he hovers between life and death. She ends with “the rest is all...” and is cut off by Henry’s revival before she can say the last word, "confetti".

Quite apart from the off-putting nature of a ten-year-old flirting with his adult au pair, Dani is clearly alarmed by the hair-stroking and not at all comfortable with anything in this scene. For good measure, it's revealed that Miles is frequently possessed by the ghost of Peter Quint, meaning that an adult is essentially using the body of a child to make sexual advances on a grown woman.

The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_3f45f1e6	type	Adaptational Heroism
The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_3f45f1e6	comment	Adaptational Heroism: For whatever reason, Viola and Perdita from The Romance of Certain Old Clothes effectively swap names in the adaptation. As a result, Viola, while still no angel, is now a mostly tragic figure with a strong Freudian Excuse, where her literary counterpart was consumed with jealousy and received a Karmic Death. Mrs Grose in The Turn of the Screw was an ambiguous figure, with it sometimes hinted she was secretly trying to drive the governess out of Bly. She also turned a blind eye to the ghostly happenings or the children's very real problems. Here, she's a much more heroic figure who tries her best to protect the children, and is very motherly to everyone. The Uncle was a distant figure in The Turn of the Screw, who merely ignored what was happening at Bly because he didn't want it to interfere with his hedonistic lifestyle. Henry here was previously very involved in the children's lives and is keeping his distance partly because he's still grieving for his brother and sister-in-law. While the fact that he had an affair with their mother for years and is actually Flora's father means he isn't 100% heroic - he ultimately comes back to save them and becomes their guardian.

The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_40cc0c7e	comment	Bittersweet Ending: Rebecca, working together with Flora, enacts a plan to stop Peter from possessing Miles. Dani saves Flora by accepting Viola’s spirit into her body, freeing all of the ghosts from Bly Manor, including Hannah, Rebecca, and Peter. Owen finally goes to Paris and opens up a restaurant in Hannah’s memory. Dani and Jamie move to America together and even exchange wedding rings, but when Viola’s vengeful spirit arises to strangle Jamie in her sleep, Dani makes the painful decision of drowning herself and becoming the new Lady in the Lake, sealing Viola’s curse. Henry steps up as guardian of the children, but as evidenced when it’s revealed that the Storyteller was an older Jamie, mourning the loss of her true love, neither Flora or Miles—now adults—ever recalled their memories of Dani, Hannah, Rebecca, or any of what happened at Bly Manor that particular summer.

Dani is the child, as the newcomer to Bly and close friend to the children. However, Dani and Hannah switch roles throughout the story with the revelation that Miles killed Hannah, who is not aware of it.

The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_71e8a5c5	comment	Trauma Conga Line: Miles and Flora have endured the death of their parents, abandonment by their uncle (their only living relative left to them), and the suicide of their au pair. And that doesn’t even cover being plagued by ghosts. Perdita endures the death of her father and the frightening reality of her and her sister left destitute if they lose control of the manor. She then steps aside for Viola to marry Arthur even though it’s clear she has feelings for him. Then Viola falls ill and Perdita becomes her main caregiver for the six years she lingers on, becoming a bitter, abusive shell of herself. When she finally reached her limit and smothers her sister she thinks she is performing a mercy, but admits to herself after that it was for selfish reasons. And then her newly found happiness married to Arthur crumbles as money troubles drive them apart and Isobel rejects her as a mother and she never produces a child of her own. When she breaks and opens the trunk intending to save their home with the money, she has a brief moment of wistful happiness of how happy and comfortable she and her sister once were as she goes through the silks. Then Viola’s vengeful spirit chokes the life out of her and traps her to suffer forever. Dani spent a large part of her life repressing her sexuality and trying to feel the way she thought she was supposed to about her childhood best friend, even agreeing to marry him, but always knowing that it wasn't right for her. Then, when she finally told him that she couldn't marry him, he got angry at her and then immediately got hit by a truck and died, leaving her wracked with guilt and grief, to the point of running away to England to escape and manifesting a specter of him that haunts her. At Bly Manor, she is finally able to make a connection with a woman she actually has feelings for, but is held back by the specter's haunting, and once she finally is able to banish it and gets together with Jamie, they only get one day of being happy together before Dani first is knocked out and tied up in the attic by Peter and Rebecca and then sacrifices her future by inviting Viola's ghost into herself to save Flora. She does get thirteen years together with Jamie after that, but Viola starts haunting her increasingly after only about five, and after Viola inside her nearly chokes Jamie in her sleep she finally returns to Bly Manor and drowns herself in the lake to become the new Lady in the Lake and prevent Viola from harming anyone else.

The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_8bff32a8	type	Creepy Doll
The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_8bff32a8	comment	Creepy Doll: Flora has multiple creepy handmade dolls on her dollhouse, including one for every person in the house as well as other unknown dolls. She refers to them as "talismans". One of them seems to have a screaming mouth and is kept separate from the others. We're shown that her mother taught Flora how to make them, and they seem to move and change locations on their own around the dollhouse, helping the kids figure out where everyone (including the ghosts) are, and they're pivotal to keep them and the adults safe from Viola's ghost. When Dani goes to the basement to recover one of the aforementioned dolls after Miles throws it down the chute, she finds a pile of creepy broken toys and dolls. One of them sits up once she leaves. Furthermore we're shown later that this "doll ghost" is the ghost of a boy who was given a broken doll's face to wear as a mask by Flora from the pile of broken toys.

The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_8d6d9535	comment	Artistic License – Medicine: A small one: The plague doctor called in to examine Viola is shown checking the lymph nodes in her neck. This is an accurate and period-appropriate diagnostic technique, as bubonic plague typically presents with swollen and painful lymph nodes, often in the neck. But Viola's main symptoms—coughing, shortness of breath, hemoptysis—are much more characteristic of pneumonic plague, a secondary form of the plague which involves rapidly worsening pneumonia and does not usually involve the lymph nodes. The doctor should have known the difference. He was correct, however, to quickly conclude that Viola didn't have pneumonic plague: she would have been long dead by that point if she did, given how long she avoided revealing her condition and how quickly pneumonic plague kills.

Unfortunately, her debilitating illness—especially as she'd been fiercely independent before—and growing feelings of isolation from her family made Viola increasingly bitter and resentful. She became especially paranoid that her sister Perdita was trying to steal her husband and replace her as a mother figure to her daughter, causing her to lash out verbally and physically at Perdita, though she always forgave her. Perdita eventually snapped and fatally smothered Viola, resulting in her becoming a Vengeful Ghost.

Episode 7, "The Two Faces, Part Two," gives a greater look into Peter Quint's background and his life after death.

Flora leaves with Hannah before she can finish it and Dani picks it up after her, revealing the name underneath the paper to be of one Viola Lloyd, otherwise known as the Lady in the Lake. Flora's remark about how horrible it would be to be dead and not know it is reminiscent of Hannah's situation. The end of the first episode has Dani being trapped in a closet, which causes her to have a panic attack because there was a mirror in there that made her Shiny Glasses-Ghost appear.

Though YMMV over whether his sympathetic traits are enough to truly downplay his negative ones, Peter Quint has had a rough life. As a child, he was sexually abused by his father while his mother tried to convince him that it was perfectly normal. He managed to to get his way into a position working for a well respected law firm as a valet, but he is fully aware that his low class origins means he will never rise any higher in position with Henry, and then to top it off, his mother worms her way back into his life just to blackmail him into stealing from his boss's family for her and his father while showing zero remorse for what they had done to him. And he seems to genuinely love Rebecca, though he can't help but be selfish when push comes to shove (he's extremely jealous of her tasting the batter that Owen was working on, despite the fact that he had just gotten everyone else in the room to try it first, and when he commits suicide in Rebecca's body after realizing their plan had failed, he abandons her body just in time for Rebecca to be the one to actually experience the pain of drowning).

They end up getting around thirteen years.

In order to make it permanent, though, they have to be willingly invited in by the hosts, which they've been manipulating Miles and Flora into believing will be a good thing for everyone.

The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Several in earlier episodes to The Innocents, the 1961 adaptation of The Turn of the Screw. In particular, when Dani is playing hide-and-seek with the children and it's her turn to hide, she goes behind a curtain and is frightened by Peter Quint's ghost gliding up to the window directly behind her. The framing is practically identical to the corresponding scene in the aforementioned film; the only difference lies in the audience seeing Peter before Dani does (in the film the governess always sees the ghosts before the audience does, contributing the ambiguity this series lacks.)

The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_ca87e3ec	comment	The surname of the manor's family, which is not given in the original story, is said here to be Wingrave. This name is taken from the noble family featured in the 1885 revision of Henry James's The Romance of Certain Old Clothes. When the show eventually adapts that story, the family there is given their original surname of Willoughby. James also used that surname in his short story Owen Wingrave, which is how the cook here gets his first name.

The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_cb0743c0	comment	Lame Pun Reaction: Owen is especially fond of attracting these, much to the rest of the household's grief. He playfully tells Flora while making lunch that she can't put in too much salt or the food police will take her away "for as-salt and buttery." When Jamie escorts him away after a night of drinking, he slurs "Al-co-hol you (I'll call you) later," which receives much eye-rolling from those present. Owen's restaurant is called "A Batter Place," purely so he can make people groan by telling them they're in, well...

Though the Storyteller/Jamie tells the eager listeners it's the latter, some hints throughout the ending throw her claim into questionable territory. Even in the story, while most of the weirdness is confirmed to be real, it's never definitively said if Dani's visions of Edmund and Henry's doppelganger were real or just trauma-induced hallucinations. A case can be made for the second since both disappeared as soon as Dani and Henry face their respective demons, something that can't be said for any of the other ghosts.

The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_ce6555f0	comment	Lighter and Softer: Arguably compared to The Haunting of Hill House (2018). The characters are all generally better adjusted than the Crain family, there is certainly much less bickering and death, the overall tone is less frightening, and the source of the Manor's haunting is much less malevolent, more an unwitting force of nature. And while it cannot be fully defeated, it is at least stopped for long enough to release all of the souls bound by it before coming back for a total of two souls bound, compared to Hill House where everyone who died remains forever bound within the house.

Her love for Flora makes it so that she cannot bring herself to take possession of the girl's body, even if she herself will wither and decay into a former shell of herself like the rest of the ghosts at Bly Manor. In order to trick Peter, she has Flora pretend that she has been successfully possessed, then begs Dani to take Flora away from the Manor and its curse when Miles/Peter is distracted. Later when Flora is abducted by the Lady in the Lake, since Rebecca cannot intervene, due to her being a ghost, she instead promises Flora she will go through her death for her, so the little girl will not feel the horror and pain of drowning to death.

Her refusal to accept death and see her daughter once again was enough to not only bring herself back as a ghost, but to create a gravity well trapping all the other deads in Bly. It's also noticeable in how it acts: while all the other ghosts are stuck wandering with no clear purpose, risking to be caught in a cycle of memories and needing time and practice to even manifest, she follows her own, very precise routine, and is immediately able to not only manifest, but even kill.

One interpretation of "Owen Wingrave" is that Owen (who is renamed Henry here) is heavily implied to be haunted by the soldier's ghost in his family's manor as representation of his own repressed sexuality, which leads to him breaking up with his female fiancee. While the family are given the name Wingrave and Henry is still haunted by a ghost on a nightly basis, all the subtext is transferred to Dani, who was in love with Henry's character in the short story but here is a closeted lesbian who is haunted by her male fiancé's ghost due to her sexuality.

The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_f1c969f6	type	Moving Beyond Bereavement
The Haunting of Bly Manor / int_f1c969f6	comment	Moving Beyond Bereavement: Owen's mother dies comparatively early in the series, leaving the household cook emotionally shattered - especially given that he blames himself for not being there when she died. He remains weary and depressive for the next two episodes, to the point that Hannah takes over cooking for him while he's still grieving. What eventually allows Owen to recover is a bonfire night in which he finally gives vent to the grief he feels, acknowledging all the feelings he couldn't openly admit to at the funeral. Henry is struggling to move past the deaths of his brother and sister-in-law, keeping himself separate from Miles and Flora out of guilt: Flora is actually his daughter, courtesy of an affair with his sister-in-law, and the trip that ultimately killed Dominic and Charlotte was an attempt to repair the marriage. Consequently, Henry spends most of his time getting drunk in his office, and it's noticed that he's refusing to cancel his brother's mail as that would mean acknowledging his death. He's also being haunted by a nightmarish doppelganger, the living personification of his own guilt and self-loathing. The doppelganger is finally banished when Henry faces up to his responsibilities and goes to Bly to protect Flora. Dani is in mourning for Eddie, her fiancée, keeping his glasses despite being openly disturbed and upset by them, even being haunted by nightmarish visions of him at several points. As it turns out, this is actually out of guilt: Dani is a closeted lesbian and had confessed her true feelings to Eddie - breaking off their engagement in the process - right before his accidental death. After coming to terms with her sexuality and falling in love with Jamie, she is able to throw Eddie's glasses away and move on.
