Discussion Questions for tonight.

Discuss the differences in the methods Dr. and Mrs. Montague use to study the paranormal. Which approach, if any, do you believe is most successful? Why?




Do you believe Eleanor was justified in feeling resentful towards the others for treating her like a hysterical female? Or do you believe the others in the party saw something in Eleanor that alarmed them?



Did Eleanor intentionally let her mother die, or is she merely suffering from bereavement and a mistaken feeling guilt? Cite examples from the story that support your point of view.



Why does Mrs. Montague believe that a loving attitude is more effective in a haunted house than a fearful one? Why do you think no paranomal events happen to her, who perhaps wants them the most?

Do you think the haunting is real or in Elenor's mind - since most of the events happen to her and no one else?
